Imagine starting your morning with a lakeside jog and then leading energizing fitness classes as the Italian sun rises over Lake Garda. That’s the core of your role as a Fitness Instructor at Camping La Quercia, one of Italy’s top lakeside holiday destinations in beautiful Lazise.

Whether your strengths are HIIT, yoga, pilates, stretching, aqua fitness, or functional training — the program is shaped around the classes you can deliver. Your main focus is creating high-energy sessions that keep guests motivated and active throughout their stay.
