Frequently Ask Questions - Fitcamp UK

 

 

Here are some possible questions you might have before training

 

1. What is fit camp?

 

Fit camp is a group based exercise programme, for people looking to shape up and get fit. There is no minimum fitness level, you just have to be willing to work hard and get stuck in, the camps sessions are structured to suit every ones capabilities and fitness levels and members are motivated by their trainers and each other to do their best so they can achieve their full potential. All sessions are designed so that you enjoy yourself but challenge yourself physically in a way you never though possible.

 

2. How many calories can I expect to burn?

 

Every workout, you can expect to burn from 700 - 1400 calories per session! And it doesn’t stop there; your body will continue to burn calories through out the rest of the day or evening & turn your body into a fat burning machine.

 

 

3. What type of exercises will we be doing?

 

We do exercises mainly using your own body weight; however we do have pieces of specialist equipment. A few typical exercises would be skipping, lunges, squats, push ups, abs exercises & all over toning exercises, as well as cardiovascular training (jogging|) and boxing.

 

 

4. I get bored in the gym; will I get bored with fit camp?

 

As we work in fitness everyday we fully understand how exercising can sometimes become a bit of a chore, so we are always talking to people all the time about how they have to push there selves to the gym, because they are so bored of their same old routine. But with fit camp we are always looking out for new and exciting workouts so we can guarantee you will not get bored and that you will blast through your session wondering where the time has gone and will be looking forward to your next session.

 

 

5. Will it reduce my stress levels?

 

Exercise is proven to reduce stress levels by reducing hormones like cortisal and increasing endorphins (your brains feel good chemicals) giving you an instant and long lasting boost which helps you think more positively and enables you to relax more. Training your body is also a great way of taking your mind off work or anything else that might be causing stress or anxiety in your life and it is an excellent way to socialist and make new friends.

8. Am I too old or young to come to fit camp?

 

NO, if you have the will to start doing fit camp then we will have the way to progress you through your training, although the sessions will be catered for the whole group and you will be encouraged to only do what is comfortable for you to do with assistance from the instructors and the fellow fit camp prisoners. We have a wide range of fit campers from 12yrs to over 65yrs.  We do request that if you are a minor you come with one of you parents.

 

 

9. I am not fit, can I still do fit camp?

 

Yes you can, one thing to remember is that you train to get fit; you don’t need to get fit to train. You will be encouraged to do what you and your body are able to cope with, and the more you train the fitter you will become; the instructors are full time personal trainers & have trained 1,000's of clients over the years, they will assist you from the start until you are comfortable.

 

10. How often do I need to train to get fit?

 

This all depends on the individual, but as a new fit camp prisoner we recommend that you train twice a week, with this frequency of training it ensures that you don’t burn out too quickly and you get the most out of your new training regime, then as your fitness and abilities progress then you could train three sessions a week, and then up to four sessions a week.
