Boot camp exercise classes are popping up all over the place. All anyone needs to run one is space for x amount of people, and perhaps some exercise tools. At Back2Health, we've come up with the better boot camp.
Our clients are already used to training hard, and training safely (i.e., no ballistic movement, attention to breathing and posture during exercise, etc.). But what they aren't used to is performing in front of up to 4 other trainees, and moving between multiple stations with guidance from fitness professionals at each.
This supervision is not to be overlooked - it is impossible for one trainer to correct and teach more than one person at a time, and the risk of injury is too great for Craig and I to 'let things slide'. Additionally, training in front of more people, and with the feeling of them pushing you along can add a 'fun' element to things, without veering from 'productive'.
So while still early, we think we've stumbled upon something here with these boot camp circuit sessions. Additionally, we think the program has room to grow, with an additional and different session during the week. More to follow...
