What the human body can achieve in the cold...

The human body is amazing and can adapt to any conditions:

People climb Mount Everest with the aid of oxygen.

People can scuba dive to cold and dark depths of 150 metres plus.

People trek to the north and south poles for fun.

People can ski or board in the snow for up to 10 hours a day.

People swim for up to an hour in the Antarctic ocean which is the coldest in the world wearing no wet suit (just their heads covered).

45-50 minutes jogging, boxing, skipping and circuit training in your local park is a doddle compared to the above!

Crank Up Your Training Before The Christmas Break

The next 4 week period runs from Monday 22nd November - Saturday 18th December before having a two week break for the Xmas festivities!

Get Fit Boot Camp very rarely has any time off but I know it's a busy time with trips abroad or in the UK, seeing family, buying and wrapping presents etc.

That's why you might want to increase your training for that 4 week period so you can work extra hard before indulging in mulled wine, mince pies, Terry's chocolate oranges, roast turkey and Christmas pudding! E.g:

If you normally do 4 sessions in the 4 week period maybe try to rearrange your diary to fit 6 in.

If you normally do 10 sessions in the 4 week period maybe try to rearrange your diary to fit 12 in.

All sessions need to be used by Saturday 18th December - or you can purchase 10 flexible 'anytime' sessions for £95. Please pay in advance if possible either direct into my bank a few days before the new 4 week period or bring payment along to your last session of the current period.

Improve Your Football, Horseriding, Tennis, Golf, Swimming, Rugby, Dancing etc

All top athletes and sportsmen / sportswomen will do some element of circuit training to improve their speed, stamina, strength, power, agility, flexibility etc. From circuit training at least once a week over a 4-6 week period you should feel an improvement in your performance and confidence and your clothes should feel looser. The more you train the fitter you'll get and the least susceptible to injuries you will become so you can play longer during a football match / season etc = 'ultimate performance'.Gift VouchersStuck for a Christmas present? You can buy one to one personal training or boot camp sessions for a unique gift. Contact me for further details.

Boot Camp 'Retreat'

Some people go away on week long boot camp retreats either in the UK or abroad. They consist of 6am starts and late finishes doing 6-8 hours of exercise everyday for 6-7 days in a row. You could do a less hardcore and cheaper version with my weekly 45 minute circuit training sessions e.g.

Monday 9.45am Claygate
Tuesday 9.30am Burpham
Wednesday 9.45am Claygate
Thursday 9.30am Burpham

That's 4 sessions in 4 days!

Or you could do Tuesday and Thursday at 6.45am and 6.15pm at Burpham. That's 2 sessions spread out over the day = 4 sessions in 3 days!

Tuesday 7.30pm Burpham has a late session that anyone can turn up to after work.

Contact me for discounted prices of more than 12 sessions in the 4 week period.

Plus the once a month Sunday half day (4 hour) boot camp for all ages and abilities (spaces are limited).

You could do a similar thing too for your New Year Resolutions!

Leg Injury?

If you have a leg injury but can still walk around you can still turn up for boot camp and have an 'extreme' workout for your upper body, arms, shoulders, chest, back, abs and lower back. Get the blood pumping around and burn some calories.

Upper Body Injury?
You can still turn up to get some fresh air and 'beast' your legs and have a good workout for your core muscles. Much more fun than running around the roads by yourself.
Do You Arrive To The Park Early?
If you get to the park 10 minutes early you could go for a jog or brisk walk as an extra warm up. If you get there 5 minutes early you can pass me your keys and give me a hand with carrying the gear over.“
