We are thrilled to see more new faces at bootcamp this week! Di began training at Glebe and Janice returned to Balmain. It’s always exciting to welcome fresh energy and enthusiasm into the group. Whether you’re just starting out or getting back into fitness, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
First up, a couple of reminders:
Long Weekend - Monday 7th October session will start at 7am (don't forget to account for Daylight Savings).
Save the Date - 7th December will be the Christmas party.
Spring Referral Offer - Bring along a new or returning friend and after their trial period you'll both get 4 weeks at half price.
With new members on board it seems like a good time to revisit how to get the most out of bootcamp. Success in bootcamp isn’t just about showing up - it’s about challenging yourself and staying consistent. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of every session and see real improvements.
1. Don't Skip the Warm-Up
Warm-up exercises are vital because they prepare the body, reduce injury risk, and improve performance. They increase blood flow, loosen muscles and joints, and help you focus mentally. A good warm-up enhances flexibility, mobility, and overall workout efficiency, setting you up for a safer and more effective session. Being on time to start the warm-up ensures you won't adversely impact the start of the session for others, and sets you up for success.
2. Ask for Guidance
Don’t hesitate to ask your for tips on form or technique. If something doesn't feel right, say so. If you have specific goals or injuries, letting Andy and Poppy know will help them to personalise the instruction they give you. Proper form not only prevents injury but helps you get the most out of each workout.
3. Stay Consistent
The key to progress is consistency. Even on rest days, stay active with light exercises like walking or stretching to keep your momentum going. Building regular recovery into your routine will also support your progress.
4. Build a Support System
Connect with your fellow bootcampers! Encouraging each other during workouts or setting group goals can make the experience more fun and motivating.
5. Sunday Check-ins
Andy's text out on Sunday morning (and your subsequent response), is intended to encourage you to make a plan for the week and a commitment to yourself. Accountability and encouragement have been shown to result in higher adherence to exercise programs and better long-term outcomes. The check-in also informs Andy and Poppy's session planning, ensuring the right equipment is available when you arrive.
Remember, progress comes from dedication and effort. Stick with it and hopefully together you'll enjoy the process!
Andy will be in taking the Saturday session in Balmain this week. Have a fabulous weekend!
