BootCamp, or nah?

Stardate: July 11th 2015

Hi all.

So… as many of you would know, I operate some pretty brain-bending bootcamp classes. We get clients from all over the world; from all age groups and interests. It’s fun. It’s hard. But, did I mention, how fun it is?

Before we get side tracked with the fun element, let me slip in a disclaimer:

Boot camp

noun

a military training camp for new recruits, with strict discipline.

a short, intensive, and rigorous course of training.

Bootcamp is HARD. Yes, there are multiple levels of difficulty with each of my classes. Yes, there are multiple variations of each exercise, to accommodate (basically) all levels of fitness and/or injury. BUT… it. is. hard! Make no mistake about it. Often (- and because we don’t mask the difficulty in our pictures and videos on social media), people shy away from trying it for the first time, because ‘it looks too hard’.

So how do you decide if bootcamp training is right for you? Let’s find out!

Bootcamp Benefits:

Accelerated fat-loss: If you’re already active, but you find that you’ve stagnated, the always-new stimuli (-and high intensity) inherent to bootcamp WILL put you back on the right path. And, while we’re on the top of new stimuli:
A good bootCamp is never boring: This is super-important for the average exerciser. So many people fall short of their ultimate health and aesthetic goals because of boredom. I mean, crap… how many months would you last doing the same thing, over, and over, and over? Me? I’d last 3 weeks. Trust me. I haven’t been on a treadmill in YEARS, for that reason. Bootcamps are my only form of cardio, outside of walking the dog, and sex.I’ve digressed however.
Community Support: A well-structured bootcamp is a family. It is the support system that many people lack in their lives. Where else in life will you find people who will celebrate you overcoming struggles, or hold your hand whilst you try to? Almost nowhere. Trust me.
Guilt-free introspection: BootCamps are competitive, but supportive. This balance allows one to push oneself, comparatively, against others… whilst objectively deciding what areas you need to improve on. It is a mirror that doesn’t scream back at you “you’re fat”.
It’s fun!!! – Where else can you push trucks, climb trees, swing from things, flip, cartwheel, crawl, jump, roll, and shamelessly get dirty? Seriously. BootCamps are SO much fun.

Don’t take my word for it though.
