BOOT CAMP KICK STARTS NEW FITNESS REGIME

Former Royal Marines Reservist Rob Dale is launching a new offensive in his fitness company’s bid to keep Guildford fit and healthy in the run-up to Christmas and the New Year.

Rob launched 121exercise in 2004 offering personal training based on the tough workouts he developed with the marines in some of the world’s most inhospitable environments including the Norwegian high Arctic. He has now launched a new lower cost option which brings fitness coaching within the reach of everyone.

Rob, who lives in Burpham, Guildford, says “121exercise has proved to be very popular for men and women, offering an individually tailored programme for a period of weeks or even months. This is good value but the cost of individual training was beyond many people who wanted to maintain a healthy lifestyle”.

Drawing on his experience as a physical training instructor in the Royal Marines Reserve (RMR) where he specialised in improving recruits’ endurance, strength and circuit training abilities so that they could pass the arduous commando tests, Rob has now launched a boot camp group training programme which reduces the cost to members.

Rob, who holds a sports science degree from Kingston University, says “my sports science background and time spent training with the RMR has developed my awareness and skills of how to train people from all walks of life to go that extra mile and reach their full fitness potential”.

Boot camps are 45 minute group circuit training sessions that work the whole body and cater for all ages and abilities. The circuit can consist of any number of exercises including sit-ups, squats, press-ups and sprints.

Also there are different ways to do each exercise to accommodate all levels of fitness. Each exercise lasts 20 to 60 seconds before moving on to the next activity and classes can be all male, all female or mixed and are held virtually anywhere.

Rob says “circuit training once, twice or three times a week can significantly improve overall fitness and has been shown to burn more calories than traditional gym workouts”.

Rob is currently running boot camps in Burpham, Claygate and Hersham. For full details please visit www.getfitbootcamp.co.uk
