What’s involved in the training?
The boot camps are super fun workouts that combine body weight and strength exercises. We usually start with a body weight warm up coupled with stretching exercises followed by an equipment based circuit training session where we will work the upper and lower body muscles. The aim is to improve your cardiovascular fitness as well as preserve muscle and build core strength.
