GET OUT.
TEAM UP.
GET FIT.

We are passionate about outdoor fitness. Join us for energising team workouts designed to build strength and endurance in a supportive, social atmosphere.
Our bootcamp sessions are a breath of fresh air!

All sessions are run by qualified personal trainers (Level 3 or Level 2).
Our fitness routines combine resistance training with cardio elements to offer high-intensity, full-body workouts with an emphasis on upper body and core. We incorporate compound movements, such as throwing, towing, and running with weighted equipment, which train multiple muscle groups simultaneously, leading to efficient improvements in overall strength and endurance.

WHY BOOTCAMP?

1. IMPROVED ENDURANCE & HEALTH

   • Research has shown that high-intensity workouts, which elevate the heart rate close to maximum, provide greater health benefits than moderate-intensity exercise. Bootcamp is similar to other high-intensity fitness programmes such as HIIT, CrossFit and Circuit Training, as it also encourages participants to work at (or near) their maximum heart rate, with short rest periods in between.

   • Exercising outdoors provides exposure to fresh air and sunlight, improving oxygen circulation, stimulating vitamin D production, and supporting immune function and bone health.

   • Running and exercising on uneven, grass-covered terrain engage more stabilising muscles and boost coordination and balance more effectively compared to flat gym floors.

   • Exercising outdoors in both warm and cold weather enhances overall stamina, as it forces the body to adapt to different stressors. This enhances the body's ability to handle diverse environmental conditions, making it more adaptable and efficient.

   • Environmental factors like wind add resistance, increasing cardiovascular demand and calorie burn, and improving VO2 max (a measure of the body’s ability to use oxygen efficiently), which is a key marker of endurance.

2. IMPROVED MOOD & MENTAL HEALTH

   Research shows that exercising in nature reduces stress and anxiety more effectively than indoor exercise. Outdoor bootcamps, held in parks or green spaces, expose participants to natural elements which improve mood, enhance relaxation, and reduce mental fatigue.

   • Sunlight exposure boosts serotonin levels, improving mood and combating seasonal affective disorder (SAD), while the open, expansive environment of outdoor bootcamps can help participants feel less confined than in a gym, promoting a sense of freedom and reduced stress.

   • The unpredictability of outdoor environments (rain, mud, wind) forces participants to push through discomfort, helping them to develop mental resilience.

3. TEAMWORK BOOSTS MOTIVATION & ACHIEVEMENT

   Outdoor bootcamps can promote a sense of community and teamwork. Group exercises and partner reps increase motivation through friendly competition and support. The social interaction in an open outdoor setting can create a more inclusive and motivating atmosphere, which can dramatically boost adherence to the program. Exercising with others encourages people to exceed their usual limits and to sustain effort for longer periods.

4. WE ARE ECO-FRIENDLY

   Unlike gyms which rely on electricity for heating and lighting, our outdoor bootcamp takes advantage of natural conditions and street lighting in parks, which means that our energy consumption is almost zero. We further minimise our environmental impact by exercising with used tyres which would otherwise contribute to landfill waste. Outdoor workouts with tyres can be even more effective for functional strength and cardiovascular endurance than exercising indoors with complex machines. Using tyres also allows us to be cost-effective and to make saving which we pass on to our bootcamp members.

   In addition, training in parks promotes an appreciation for the natural environment, encouraging participants to spend more time outdoors and to potentially adopt more eco-conscious behaviours.

SUITABILITY

• While bootcamp sessions are typically designed to be intense full-body workouts, they can be suitable for people of all abilities:

• Beginners

  Our instructors will provide beginners with scaled-down versions of our exercises to reduce difficulty and complexity. Each session can be modified for beginners by adjusting the intensity, using lighter weights, encouraging regular breaks and focusing on proper form.

• Intermediate Level

  Our bootcamp is great for intermediate-level participants because we incorporate exercises which improve stamina and strength. The gradual progression to heavier weights is encouraged to ensure continuous muscle engagement and development.

• Advanced Level

  Advanced participants can benefit from the fast-paced nature of our bootcamp workouts. Those willing to challenge themselves can opt for heavier weights and a higher number of reps to work on their strength and speed. Advanced participants often appreciate the variety of our bootcamp workouts, which can keep the training stimulating.
