It can be difficult to pick the right fitness bootcamp for you. You can step into a realistic military-style bootcamp and push yourself past its capabilities, or you can end up in a low-impact bootcamp that doesn’t quite meet the goals you have set for yourself.
There are so many different kinds of fitness bootcamps that you can choose from so to make this decision easier here is a guide to selecting the best one for you:
What are your expectations?
The very first step in identifying the right fitness bootcamp is to know what you expect to come from it. Interrogate what you want, your goals and what you are capable of. Do you want to lose a lot of weight in a short period of time? Do you want to build muscles? Do you have the time and willingness? Are you ready to sacrifice aspects of your life that come in the way of you achieving this goal?
Who else is going?
Fitness bootcamps usually involve you working out or together with a group of people. That’s why it’s important to make sure the people in your group are like-minded.
Find out what the culture of your group is like by investigating the level of fitness, how much interaction there is between members and even the type of music they play during the workout. Make sure that what you find complements your personality.
Look at reviews
On every bootcamp’s website should be a testimonials section where people who have already taken the class review their experience of it. You can compare these reviews with your own expectations.
Use your own discretion to decide whether the reviews are staged or from real people.
Check the instructors’ qualifications
It is really vital to make sure that the instructor is qualified and knows what they’re doing. If they know what they’re doing they are better able to prevent you from getting injured and can make sure you get the most out of each session.
Is it a balanced workout?
As with any workout programme, bootcamps need to have a good mix of stretching and warm-up exercises along with their high-intensity exercises. Not only does this go towards maximising the effectiveness of the workout but it also reduces the chances of injuring your muscles.
Are they motivated?
It can be difficult to get into a regular workout routine, especially when it comes to something as tough as bootcamps. It is important that the instructors and team are motivated and provide motivation. That way you are more likely to enjoy it and come back for more. If the instructors are only there to make money, with no personal involvement in their class, you will become demotivated very quickly.
There are a great many things that you need to consider before choosing a fitness bootcamp. To choose the right one for you, you need to do a lot of introspection as well as investigate the practices of the various camps you are looking at. You need to make sure that the camp you are considering is in line with what you want and expect.
