FAQs
What Is Bootcamp and what should I expect?
Bootcamp is an outdoor fitness workout. At Bootcamp Tring every session is different; we mix it up (Intervals, HIIT, Tabata, Relays, Circuits, Drills, Team/Partner/Individual Games) and we use some pretty awesome toys (Tractor Tyres, Battle Ropes, ViPRs, Weighted Vests Heavy Bags, Kettlebells, SAQ Ladders, Barbells, Dumbells, Bands, Boxing Gloves...the list is exhaustive and continues to grow!). Our Bootcampers never know what they’re going to face with but we guarantee that they will walk (…sometimes crawl!) away from our sessions feeling challenged, invigorated, successful and excited to return.
I'm feeling nervous and a bit apprehensive, do I need to be fit before attending my first session?
Don't worry, you don't need to be/get fit in order to join us; our job is to get you fit (and to make sure you have fun whilst getting there).
And what if you're already fit? Our job is to get you fitter!
What should I bring?
Water
A small towel
A 'Can Do' attitude!
Do sessions run if it's raining/snowing/very cold?
On the very rare occasion, a session has been cancelled due to extreme weather, but for the most part, Bootcamp runs regardless of the weather (that's part of the appeal!)
What should I wear?
Bootcampers wear whatever they feel most comfortable in: tracksuits, sweatpants, leggings, hoodies, tees, shorts, vest tops, body warmers, skorts. Be sure to dress appropriately for the weather, we suggest wearing layers so that you can add or eliminate pieces depending on how you feel during the workout.
DO wear suitable footwear (running shoes or trail running shoes) that is supportive and gives you some cushioning.
Am I able to bring my children?
Bootcampers can feel free to bring their children provided their presence doesn't in any way detract from the session and of course, children may not touch any of the equipment or participate.
*Babies can be in pushchairs or prams.
*Toddlers are welcome but parents must ensure their child's presence doesn't disrupt the flow of the session (and they should be ready to abandon the session should their child require attention).
*School-aged children are invited to bring scooters, bikes, balls, tablets, books - again they must not in any way disrupt the session.
*Young adults may join their parent/guardian for the Bootcamp session at the Instructor's discretion
How often should I attend Bootcamp?
That will very much depend on your level of fitness and the amount of time you have available to train. As a general rule we encourage our Bootcampers to attend a minimum of two sessions per week.
Can I attend if I'm pregnant/ post-partum?
If you were active prior to falling pregnant, we are happy to have you join us provided iyou have been given the 'all clear' from your GP and you feel able.
After giving birth (no earlier than 6 weeks post-partum), we will be happy to see you return to our ranks, provided there were no pregnancy, birthing or post pregnancy complications and you have been signed off by your doctor.
Can I attend if I have an injury?
We encourage you to seek guidance from your Health Practitioner prior to attending any Bootcamp sessions if you are dealing with any injuries. Always let your Instructor know of any current health issues so that they can provide you with safe alternatives and modifications if needed.
I'd just like to try Bootcamp to see if I'll like it, do you offer free sessions?
