The BNKR Fitness Camp

Went here for lunch. It was so tasty and fresh. We had taco’s with spicy chicken and pineapple chutney, perfect spice for us (hotsauce enthusiasts). It just had so much flavor!! Also they have really good coffee (fresh ground espresso or cappuccino)

This place is a dream!!!
Fantastic team working in this natural paradise.
The place is beautiful, the food is AMAZING (already missing that) and the people there is extra friendly, chill and helpfull with anything.
They helped us renting a scooter, arranging some car trips, giving us tips, making us feel like home and with all the other things that we asked for.
Beautiful and happy souls in the kitchen team making everything so easy and cooking like heaven.
Easy to get there.
Thank you for everythink.
Hope to see you all again.
Bests wishes for all of you.

Lovely beach cafe and gym/training facility. Delicious western-cafe style food of everything from breakfast, to smoothie bowls, to dinner. The homemade breads and tortillas are fantastic; I can recommend the pizzas, tacos and smashed avocado toast. The pancakes are also a wonderful treat. Good selection of vegan/vegetarian foods. Wonderful staff and a nice selection of food.

Food was sooooo good. Ordered the green bean salad with spicy prawns. Perfectly balanced olive oil dressing and super fresh ingredients. Could easily eat this every day

We stayed in Kalpitiya for a week and this was our favorite spot to eat. Vickie has done a super job with the menu. She’s got bulletproof coffee, vegan options, vegetarian options, gluten free, omelets, and the chicken pizza is great. Her and her staff are warm and welcoming. A+

Great experience. Loved the setting, food and workout. Perfect for single travellers as you spend a lot of your time in a group. Make sure to go for an an conditioned room to ensure sufficient recovery as you will be working out a lot!

Great experience from start to finish with Vicky, Dimitry and the team. Food was incredible, culture and ‘feel’ of the place is excellent and the fitness side of things is perfectly balanced. They were flexible enough to accommodate my needs as they changed throughout the stay. Highly recommended!

A wonderful gym. The owner was so friendly and the trainer was very kind and helpful. Great equipment. Clean. Tidy. So glad i found this place at the start of my holiday

Delicious food, chill out place and wonderful drinks.. they also serve locally brewed kombucha! Love the place and the owners are wonderful! Super worth many visits and great place to relax after kiteboarding. :)

Easily the best gym in Kalpitiya. Operated by Vicky whoa extremely helpful and kind. James, who's the trainer there is excellent. He's the best I've ever worked with. I trained at the BNKR for 2 days. One day I got a one on one training session from James where I learned several new exercises. He then designed a program for me to follow for next several months. They also have great food and drinks. It's just awesome

Amazing food! Once I found this place I ate every meal here while I was kitesurfing. They have a weekly menu and can accommodate vegan and vegetarian diets. Good coffee, smoothie bowls, tacos, etc. Very well ran and all the staff are super nice and friendly. Made my experience in Kalpitiya much, much better.

Amazing place with good and honest food. James the CrossFit trainer is a lever 3 trainer and will give you some good tips to improve and adjust the workout to your needs. Also the rest of the staff is awesome.
The equipment is good and up to date and the location is Just perfect. I would go back in a Heartbeat!

Just a quick stop for a little snack. Smoothie bowl, fresh juice and cappuccino were delicious. Thank you 😊

I spent 12 days training at the BNKR in March 2022 and I had a fantastic time! I'm a 3 times per week gym user in London but found that training more intensely, in addition to eating properly, gave me a huge boost in terms of strength and mobility. I did two group exercise classes per day in addition to a yoga class and a mobility class, with a few solo sessions myself on top. Vicky, the owner is a great host and makes a lot of effort to make guests feel welcome. The meals provided were absolutely delicious and the shakes and coffees were great too. I wasn't focussed on weight loss, so the meal portions were very generous, but the BNKR does cater for calorie limited meals and dietary restrictions if guests so wish. Dimitri, the trainer, is a really nice guy and was very helpful and supportive, with great emphasis on mobility and lifting with proper form. I did a bit of kitesurfing which was a fun break from training and there is a fun bar to hang at in the evening a Kitesurfing Lanka if guests feel like letting their hair down. My only minor suggestions would be to make there is enough capacity for personal training with Dimitri, my sessions were only scheduled at the tail end of my trip. And invest in some new yoga mats. Overall a fantastic experience and I would love to go back some time soon.

Amazing place runned by amazing people. I go there for the co-working area, breakfast and coffee. They have a open fitness room right on the beach near the kitesurf spot. Also best coffee in town (real coffee not the usual nescafe powder) and delicious food. Thank Umesh and Ara, you guys rock!

Loved the jack fruit tacos and prawn chili lime pizza!
Made my short stay in Kalpitiya tasteful!

My husband and I spent an amazing 2 weeks at the BNKR. It was much more of a community feel than we realised when booking which meant we got some much more from it than just fitness. Having fitness sessions outdoors at sunset is amazing and running to the sea for a dip afterwards was so refreshing. We did some great workouts and came away feeling fantastic. The food is out of this world in both look and taste and it was definitely a highlight of the 2 weeks. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a fun and friendly bootcamp without any scary macho men or unhealthy competition. Its rustic, but that adds to the charm!

The best cafe and food in Kalpitiya. I spent almost every day here over my six week stay. The food is fresh, clean and delicious. The banana and mango smoothies are particularly great, and I can still taste the deliciousness of the mango noodle salad. Also note that you can get Kombucha! The owner is an absolute delight and she will make you feel welcome. Sit back, relax and enjoy the seabreeze and healthy fuel before your next kitesurfing adventure.

We spent five days in Kalpitiya at the end of our holiday, mainly to enjoy the facilities at the Bnkr.
The range of classes at the gym is amazing and James and Adam the coaches are fantastic, not to mention the view. The variation in the classes is amazing and we both learnt loads of new skills.
The food and smoothie selection is also great. The range of gluten free options is fantastic. After travelling Sri Lanka and eating lots of curries, it was great to have Gluten Free Pizza, GF Tacos and Pancakes and some lovely fresh fish and salads. Vicky and Hermione were also super welcoming.
Absolutely fantastic end to the holiday, we met some great people.

Amazing place where you can work out with the guidance of an outstanding coach James. He is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, encouraging and very creative with the exercises given. I nicknamed him the master of time as one hour workout with him felt like it was only 20! I had a knee injury and he made sure I was working out without hurting myself. I should also add that I was a total beginner and within couple of classes I started to feel more confident and energised.
I also really enjoyed having my meals at the cafe, they have created a little heaven of tasty and flavorsome dishes. All the staff there were nothing but welcoming, caring, professional and effective. I recommend this place to anyone looking to enhance their well being in a safe and nurturing environment. The setting along a gorgeous beach with beautiful sunsets is not bad either!
