Eastern Suburbs Personal Trainer Reveals 6 Tips You Must Know Before Signing Up For ANY Fitness Boot Camp

Outdoor Fitness Boot Camps are growing in popularity throughout Sydney's Eastern Suburbs for many reasons. Firstly they’re cheaper than traditional 1-1 personal training. They also offer more comradeship between participants and are more fun whilst still providing the same expert coaching.

Unfortunately, there are one or two downsides to fitness boot camps. Too many personal trainers wanting a piece of the very profitable boot camp pie are getting into boot camps without having the adequate skill, knowledge or experience to design workouts for large outdoor groups. These 6 tips will guide you on how to choose the right fitness boot camp that will ensure you get great results and at the same time keep you safe.

6 Tips You Must Know Before Signing Up For ANY Fitness Boot Camp

1.) Looking the Part. If the boot camp instructor is serious about health and fitness and they know they’re stuff they should be fit and healthy themselves. Why would you want to be trained by someone that isn’t in shape themselves?

2.) Fully Qualified, Insured and Registered with Fitness Australia. There are too many boot camp instructors out there without the necessary qualifications and insurance. Be careful of these instructors as they don’t have the proper knowledge or understanding of safe training methods. Also if you were to hurt yourself you wouldn’t be compensated for your injury.

3.) Bodyweight Before External Weight. A trainer that knows their stuff will never load you with external weight before you have mastered the exercise with bodyweight first. If you can’t control, stabilize and move your own bodyweight through basic movement patterns such as push ups, bodyweight rows, lunges, squats and chin ups they should never ask you to add external resistance.

4.) Nutrition Plans. Nutrition is about 70-80% of the fat loss program, if your nutrition isn’t right you’ll never be able to lose weight - YOU CAN’T OUT TRAIN A POOR DIET! The nutrition plan should be easy to follow and give you the tools you need to calculate your calories and give you advice on what types of food you should eat.

5.) Client Testimonials. If the boot camp program is effective then there should be testimonials from satisfied clients. There should be before and after pictures posted on their website with information about how much weight they lost and in how much time.

6.) Free Trial Or Your Money Back. If the boot camp company is confident about the services they provide they will offer you a free 1 week trial, your money with no questions asked or both.
