JEN'S PHITNESS RETREATS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT PHITNESS RETREATS
What is a Phitness Retreat?
A Phitness Retreat is a more personalized fitness camp. As part of a smaller group, you’ll enjoy more personal one-on-one time with two time Ms. Fitness Olympia and International Champion Jen Hendershott. The retreats takes place in Burlington, North Carolina and will be hosted at the Gold's Gym in that area. YOU will be a guest in Jen's world. YOU will train five body parts, share a catered Saturday night dinner with Jen, review your personal goals with Jen and her staff, and talk one-on-one with them about the answers you are looking for and what you want to achieve. There will be lots of activity throughout the weekend, but it will be a much more personal experience than Phat Camp! There are a limited number of attendees for each of retreat so ACT FAST!
How long has Jen been doing the Phitness Retreats?
This is the first year for Jen’s Phitness Retreats. Jen has poured her heart into Phat Camp and continues to do so. Phat Camp is going into its 8th year in business. To see a list of Phat Camps visit www.GetPhatwithJen.com. Jen Hendershott has traveled the globe to inspire women of all walks of life. After many requests from women around the world Jen has now started Phitness Retreats.
Will Jen Hendershott be at the Phitness Retreat all weekend?
Jen will most definitely be at the retreat and will also have several assistants to better ensure your success and education throughout the weekend.
Should I be afraid? Will I fit in? Am I too old?
This retreat is for everyone. You have to trust us when we tell you this camp is for everyone looking to learn. If you are in a rut, need motivation, need new ideas, getting bored, or want a boost, and then working with Jen is for you! This is the most common question we get from women all over the world. Let us reassure you when we say that our oldest camper was 71 and our youngest was 13. We have new moms, competitors, grandmas, business women, athletes, cancer survivors, and women from all walks of life at these camps. We believe in each individual and we believe you can accomplish anything you put your mind to. YOU will fit in and we can't wait to work with you.
Are the Phitness Retreats for competitors only?
Absolutely not! Jen is known for her ability to connect with all types of women. 80% of her Phat Camp clientele are women looking for motivation, direction and education. All women are welcome, competitors too. We welcome all as we want you to be challenged and motivated to live a better life.
Does the $400 include hotel, food and airfare?
The $400 includes the price for the camp and to work with Jen Hendershott for the weekend. Your airfare, hotel and food are additional. Unlike Phat Camp, we do offer a personalized service to help you get the cheapest airfare possible, lowest hotel rate possible, and we provide transportation to and from the airport (if you’re flying).
How do I get my hotel, airfare, and transportation arranged?
The first thing you have to do is pay your deposit online for a retreat. Next, contact Jennifer Dobbins at Jenndob@yahoo.com. Jennifer can help organize your transportation to and from the airport. She’ll reserve your spot at our host hotel, Hampton Inn, and she can also organize your airfare.
What if I have sky miles or points I want to use instead of going through Get Phat Inc. for my travel?
Yes, you can definitely do this. We ask that you still contact Jennifer Dobbins if you are looking for transportation to and from the airport. Please communicate with Jennifer as it’s her responsibility to make sure all client arrival times are coordinated so that we’re not making unnecessary or unplanned trips back and forth to the airport. This allows us to focus on the weekend activities.
What city and state am I traveling to?
Burlington, North Carolina.
What airports are we flying into?
Raleigh Durham, North Carolina (RDU) is the cheapest and most affordable. RDU is located 50 miles east of Jen's home of residence on interstate 40. Greensboro, North Carolina (GSO) is also an option. GSO is located on interstate 40, and is 40 miles west of Jen's home of residence. Charlotte, North Carolina is an option, however Charlotte is located 2 hours away and you will be on your own for travel to and from the airport.
What times should I fly in and fly out?
We recommend flying in anytime Friday arriving by or before 5:00 PM. We recommend flying out anytime Sunday after 3:00 PM.
What if I am driving in?
Again we ask that you still communicate this information to Jennifer Dobbins so that she can coordinate the weekend. If you are driving to Burlington, North Carolina you will see that it is located in the Triad between Durham and Greensboro off interstate 40.
Do I have to stay at the host hotel if I live local?
You do not have to stay in the host hotel. For our scheduling purposes, if you are staying somewhere local, please let Jennifer Dobbins know.

Lunch is not provided. Everyone is on there own for lunch. You may either pack your food or go out to grab a bite to eat nearby. We will provide information to you relative to local eateries. At some retreats there will be coordinated lunches with the campers and staff.
What does the Phitness Retreat $125 deposit cover and is it refundable?
The $125 deposit holds your place on the official camp list. This deposit is NON-refundable. Each retreat fills up fast so it’s important to get your deposit in as soon as possible! Don’t hesitate! There are only a small number of slots for each camp. If you decide to transfer to another retreat once you have paid your deposit, there is a $25 transfer fee. Each transfer is $25.
Can I transfer a Phat Camp registration to a Phitness Retreat and visa versa?
Yes, you can transfer from a Phat Camp to a Phitness Retreat, or visa versa, but again there will be a $25 transfer fee per transfer.
What if I sign up for a Phitness Retreat or Phat Camp and can’t make either by the end of the year?
The deposits can be transferred into the following year if needed. Again, you will be charged $25 to do so each time you do so. You can also use deposit money toward PGN supplements or toward any Get Phat Online service if you do not want to transfer to another retreat or camp.
How do I transfer my registrations and make sure I don't lose my money?
If you can’t attend the retreat or camp or need to transfer any registration, you need to notify Jen to make the transfer complete. Email Jen at jenhenfit2000@aol.com.
What is the balance payment for the Phitness Retreat and when is it due?
The balance for the retreat is $275.00. This is refundable up to one month prior to the retreat for which you are registered. There will also be NO refunds at the retreat. The balance is due one month prior to the retreat. If your balance is NOT submitted or payment arrangements are not made one month prior to the retreat for which you have registered, your name will be dropped from the official list. The first person on the waiting list will then take your place and be added to the retreat roster. The retreats include a smaller number of attendees and this is the best way to assure our numbers and attendance for the retreats. If this happens you will not receive a refund, only the ability to transfer.
Cancellation of Phitness Retreat or Phat Camp?
It is very rare that a retreat or camp would be canceled. However, if there is an emergency with Jen Hendershott (it would have to be a BIG emergency) you will be notified immediately! We have had to postpone camps in the past for different reasons, but again this is very unusual. We assure you that if the retreat or camp is canceled on our behalf you will receive ALL your money back in a timely manner. There is no need to worry as we are very understanding and very up front.
What is your refund policy?
If you need a refund please contact Jen at jenhenfit2000@aol.com
