- - - - So why do I DISLIKE/HATE Boot-Camps ? . . . - - - -
Let's think about this. Why would someone pay Cheap Rates and Expect to get in AMAZING shape ? It's not 100% possible for NUMEROUS reasons. Think about the last time you went to a boot-camp. Was it Hard ? Did you feel every exercise was out of your - depth ? Feeling like your Trainer was asking the WORLD OF YOU and you felt like you UNDER ACHIEVED ? If you answered YES to these let me tell you why . . .
1) - Always REMEMBER we all have to Crawl - before we can walk - walk before we can run - run before we can sprint etc . . . <--- Think about that...
2) - Majority of boot-camps ARE NOT tailored made - what does this mean ? . . . How can a Trainer state perform 10 Burpees when you have a Athlete like myself in say the same group as a 20 Stone (obese man) I may be able to pull this off yes . . . but the other man ? . . . Off course not !?! It's not only Dangerous to EXPECT this off him (heart attack / hypertension etc. . . ) but will PUT HIM OFF coming back for more being surrounded with others of different abilities.
3) - Majority of these Trainers have INSURANCE that DOES NOT COVER YOU if YOU GET INJURED . Have you ever had to Sign a Release form prior to taking part ? . . . yes ? Then that trainer is not insured . Another reason this may be is because their Insurance does't cover OUTDOOR activities. Meaning Park boot-camps . Outdoor boot-camps and more etc . . .
4) - Are they even Qualified ? . . . The 65% Majority of Trainers who perform boot-camps ARE NOT CORRECTLY QUALIFIED in their chosen field . Ask for proof of qualifications. Are they Minimum Level 3 PT do they hold any extra quals ? An actual boot-camp qualification ? Who is their insurance policy with ? Do they have a Diploma a Degree ? . . . Don't be afraid to ask it's your HARD-EARNED CASH being Spent.
5) - REMEMBER they aren't tailor made - If you expect to be able to PERFORM like an Athlete you must start from the bottom and work your way up . Ask or Look around for one to one's OR at least PT's who perform group PT Session 3 people to 1 Personal Training not BOOT-CAMPS this way the Trainer can identify and produce exercises tailor made to your needs and build you up SLOWLY and PROGRESSIVELY meaning you become STRONGER for LONGER and always come back for more. . . . You will far more feel a Sense of Achievement then a sense of under-performing in front of others around you that isn't exactly in a Private environment etc . . .
I could right loads more but I won't it saddens me to see people pay hard earned money on Boot-camp (Sign-Up Schemes) and either NOT GET THE RESULTS they want OR drop-out 2 Weeks into their stint. Do it Properly . Hire a Personal Trainer. They're with your from Day one to they Very End . Your Goal is Their Goal . And people like myself want nothing better than your RESULTS to Flourish ! The proof is in the pudding as they say. I have Numerous Clients Results. Weather WEIGHT-GAIN - WEIGHT-LOSS - Strength for Purpose - OR - Personal Client Goals i.e Great North Run -
REMEMBER Personal Trainers offer Nutrition - One to Ones - Massage (in my case ) - Lifestyle Coaching - And much more . . . You may pay more . . . But you GET MORE ! . . .
