“I had seen Bootcamps in action in Horsham and Cuckfield. I felt inspired to do something, but at the same time had done absolutely nothing about it! I was eating fairly healthily most of the time, but probably had too much on my plate and was eating seconds. My partner started a diet, stuck to it and lost close to 3 stone in four months and looked fantastic. Rather than be inspired by him, I … [Read more...]

"In July 2009 I decided I desperately wanted to make a change to my lifestyle. I had had a tough year at work and in my personal life and as a consequence had been feeling very low and seeking comfort in food. This caused me to put on a lot of weight which wasn’t good as I was already on the large side as a result I hated what I saw in the mirror, which led to more unhappiness and more comfort … [Read more...]

“What is the best thing I can say about Sussex Bootcamps? Well I’ve been told I’ve lost weight (I never weigh myself so I’ll take their word for it), that I look trimmer (always a nice comment to receive), I feel much fitter and I have no guilt about not going to the gym. It could be any of these but for me it is the fact I haven’t missed a single Bootcamp session for five months … [Read more...]

“I joined Sussex Bootcamps in May 2009 after sheer frustration that none of my clothes would fit, and after a sharp reprimand by the Doctor for being overweight! At 15st 4lbs I was by no means at my biggest, but after losing three stones a few years previously (having topped out at around 16stones) the weight had slowly crept back on. I’d pretty much always been an overweight adult, and … [Read more...]

  "I started training with Sussex Bootcamps in November of 2009, I am about to complete my 10th Bootcamp and my first full year as a member. My reason for joining Sussex Bootcamps was because, I'm embarrassed to say, I was having difficulty bending down and tying my shoelaces! This made me realise that my general fitness levels were pretty poor. I had also known for a couple of years … [Read more...]

"When looking at my life and lifestyle I knew I had to do something about my health! As getting to the ripe old age of 42 I was beginning to feel my age and had to do something to alter this feeling of lethargy and general feeling of life taking over. I looked far and wide at fitness options and signed up for a gym and went mad at it for a month and then couldn't be bothered to carry on with … [Read more...]

“ Since starting Bootcamp in January I have gone from strength to strengthand have managed to once again kick start my inch and weight lose after I plateaued towards the end of last year. With my wedding fast approaching in August, I recognised that I was in dire need of a fresh approach to exercise and nutrition to help improve my overall health and fitness and obtain my "dream" figure … [Read more...]

" I joined Sussex Bootcamps 18 months ago and have never looked back. What started as a one-month boost to lose some weight and improve my waning fitness levels won’t end anytime soon. I saw a dramatic improvement in my fitness in the first month and the pounds fell off, and with the support and encouragement that comes from being a member you are inspired to set new goals. After two … [Read more...]

"I joined Bootcamp back in June 2009 for a variety of reasons, some as you would expect and some you may not. Yes, weight loss and fitness were up there in the list of priorities (years of sitting behind a desk meant I was overweight and unfit), but for me this was as much about improving my mental wellbeing as well as the physical. Having suffered from stress and depression I needed to regain … [Read more...]

“I am now in the middle of my 8th successive month of Bootcamp, and was amazed after a recent session at how much my legs and abs ached - surely after all this time I shouldn't be aching? This started me thinking of the differences between Bootcamp and going to the gym At the gym I never spoke to anyone else unless I went with a friend. Thecamaraderie at Bootcamp is fantastic, people are … [Read more...]

"This time last year I was wondering if I could commit to joining bootcamp and spend 3 nights a week for 4 weeks trying to exercise in the dark and the cold in the middle of Horsham Park. I didn't realise how addictive it would be.  My niece and sister in law had both sung the praises of Katie, and the results of their workouts were obvious to see, so I thought I'd give it a go, my youngest … [Read more...]

I joined Sussex Bootcamps in June 09 as I hadn't done any exercise for years and needed a structured environment to get fit again. This is exactly what I got, but also a friendly, fun bunch of people to train with. The experience level amongst the group is varied too, so not an issue if you are really unfit..like I was! Since I joined, my energy has increased and I have also had some inch loss … [Read more...]

How long have you been training with Sussex Bootcamps? 6 months I think (5 months kettlebell ???) Why did you join Sussex Bootcamps? My partner was originally recommended by another member so we decided to attend together.  Once I got the 'bug' I couldn't give it up. How has your health and fitness improved? Yes, although I still feel wornout after every class, I know my fitness is … [Read more...]

"I have been training with Sussex Bootcamps since August 2009 having originally signed up for a four week session without any expectation that it would continue beyond that.  I signed up because I had gradually increased in weight and lost fitness over a number of years and had always promised myself that I would do something about it but of course never did.  This time I would at least give it … [Read more...]

"Wow!!!!!!!!! What can I say, I can't believe it's the end of Bootcamp as they have flown by. The biggest difference to me has been my confidence. I also have achieved my goal of running the mile round Horsham park which seemed a impossible task at the start but what made it more special was the support from everyone. I have lost some weight but more importantly inches and my kids are … [Read more...]

"Ben had been my personal trainer just before he started up Sussex Bootcamps with Steve and he kindly kept in touch by sending me newsletters.  He knew before I did that I would enjoy the concept of Bootcamp and would commit 100% once he managed to get me involved! I phoned Ben up and asked if he would support my local Scout Group Fayre in July 2009.  He agreed and I ended up winning the … [Read more...]

Here I am BootCamp member of the month – what an achievement. I joined in August 2009 feeling very sluggish, outgrowing my clothes and beginning to get a bit depressed about the whole thing. The first couple of sessions I thought I was going to expire! I came back for more not wanting to be beaten (plus I’d paid in advance :)) and I was very pleased that I did. I love exercising outdoors and … [Read more...]

"I won first prize in the local church raffle, was it a car, a holiday or a hamper? No just my luck a month's membership at Sussex Bootcamps! I am a normal 40 year old man, happy with life but my weight has always been a problem at the back of my mind. I checked out the Sussex Bootcamps website and read all about it and all the testimonials. What had I got to lose?! Apart from weight and … [Read more...]

Millennium New Year’s resolutions made by the proud married mother of 2 young children. Fast forward 10 years. New Year’s resolutions were the same but the person had changed. I lost my Dad, my now ex-husband had an affair, my Mum had breast cancer and my boys were growing up...I played the role so well that everyone including myself believed all was fine. Behind closed doors I was sinking … [Read more...]

"As someone who has always enjoyed exercise I had taken part in rugby, squash, football and skiing over the years all of which had taken their toll on my joints and body in general. For 5-6 years I had relied on the gym for my exercise. After such a long period and finally reaching the grand old age of 40, I was losing my desire for the boredom of another hour on the bike or rower. My wife … [Read more...]

"Before I started with Sussex Bootcamps, I was a self confessed lazy person! I honestly couldn't understand why people wanted to spend all their time at the gym and although I did have a gym membership, I didn't go that much and often felt very self conscious. Sometime last year I suddenly got the idea about going for a run - I managed to run to the end of the road and then that was it! I … [Read more...]
