What Our Outdoor Bootcamp Classes Clients Are Saying

There’s always a really friendly atmosphere

For many years I’ve run on pavements and in parks for basic aerobic fitness, but Jo’s boot camps give me a satisfying whole body workout. Ally Pally Park is a great base, as the boot camps move between a number of different locations in the park, mostly with spectacular views over London. Jo offers a range of sessions each week, and is also careful to vary her programmes weekly so there is no chance of becoming bored!

There’s always a really friendly atmosphere; under Jo’s watchful eye, you work as hard as you wish, rather than competing with anyone else. The purely social side is not neglected either, with an occasional post-work-out coffee in one of the park cafés, and an excellent Christmas party!

Best of all, I don’t have to step inside a gym!

I have been doing two Bootcamp classes a week with Jo now for four years, during which time I have lost 2 stone in weight and become much physically fitter and stronger. I also had quite major knee surgery in that time, due to an historic skiing injury, and because of my excellent leg strength, was back at Bootcamp within a month, following Jo’s special rehabilitation programme!

Come rain, shine or snow, Johanna’s sessions are now firmly a part of my weekly routine, and best of all, I don’t have to step inside a gym!

Johanna’s alternative boot camp is great.

I’ve always struggled to find a form of exercise I like, let alone stick to it – the classic couch potato.

But I really look forward to the ‘boot camp’ – it’s helping me get fit in a fun way and I like Johanna’s style – it’s motivating and enthusiastic, and she pushes you just the right amount, i.e. enough to actually make a real difference to your fitness, but not too much!

Am I fit enough to join a Bootcamp Fitness Class?
Classes are designed to be ‘suitably challenging’ for everyone, so that you can get fitter. You will be advised and coached to exercise at an intensity which is ‘not too easy’ and ‘not too hard’; however,’ just challenging/hard enough’ for you to get the health and fitness benefits. Therefore, you will choose and be guided to choose an exercise option/intensity which feels ‘hard enough’ for you at that present time. This can vary from class to class, depending on how you are that day; and will also change as you get fitter and healthier.
Do you order people around and shout instructions?
No Never! Our Outdoor Bootcamp Classes are not a ‘Military’ or ‘Army’ style workout. There are lots of ‘alternative’ Bootcamp exercise options for you to choose from, or to be recommended to you by your instructor. You can exercise, at your own pace (and still be suitably challenged, so that you get fitter and healthier) in classes adaptable for all fitness levels from absolute beginners to advanced fitness enthusiasts.

Classes take place in Alexandra Park, close to Muswell Hill and Crouch End in North London. Postcode N22 7UJ. There are several locations where we run our Outdoor Fitness Classes, here is a plan of the meeting points in Alexandra Palace: download a map
What should I wear to a Bootcamp class?
Rain, snow, ice or shine, and whatever the temperature, the outdoor classes will happen! Therefore bring layers of clothing with you to take off and put on as appropriate, as well as hat, scarf and gloves (winter). Use a waterproof/water resistant bag. If there is a chance we do get wet, arrange that you can put on some dry clothes as soon as possible after the session, and/or wear some waterproof clothing and clothing which sheds water, in the first instance. In shine……, consider a hat, sun screen and sun glasses! Bring water. Wear comfortable footwear like trainers, or walking shoes. For Nordic Walking use a small ruck sack style bag (for your layers of clothing, water ….) as you require your hands and arms to be free moving and we are walking around the park. If appropriate, bring a hair band. A tissue is also good to have to hand.
What should I bring to a Bootcamp class?
  • A bottle of water
  • A towel
  • Suncream in the summer
  • An extra layer in the winter
  • Enthusiasm
Will the class run if it is raining or snowing?
The class is always on regardless of the weather (only exception is lightning!!) Pay special attention to what you wear (see question about what to wear/bring), and bring ‘layers’ when it is wet or cold. It is best to get too warm and have to take layers off, than not to have enough layers. In the sun or heat, keep well hydrated, wear a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses and stay in the shade. Also, we keep moving and can exercise at a higher intensity in the cold; therefore, slowing the pace down when it is very warm….
Do you run the classes throughout the year?
Yes we run all the classes throughout the year, check your updated monthly schedule for details of the coming fitness and exercise classes.
I'm pregnant / just had a baby ... can I still come?
Yes, if you were exercising regularly and in a similar way, (gym, exercise classes, running, walking, circuit training), before you got pregnant,  and your pregnancy is ‘normal’ (without any complications), you are advised to continue your life and activities as before. However, at all times, listen to your body, and each trimester has its challenges. We will advise and coach you on certain exercises, intensities and movements to avoid, or take care with, or change, as your pregnancy progresses.
What are the Health Benefits of Bootcamp over Running?
Top reasons ...  

 

  • You don't get a sunrise or a sunset in the gym?
  • Fresh air not aircon
  • As much space as you need
  • Enjoy the great outdoors
  • making it an everyday routine
I have an injury / I am recovering from an injury?
Nordic Walking workouts are ideal if you are looking for an exercise that can accommodate a joint or muscle issue or injury. Nordic Walking workouts are gentle on the joints and can be a good way to exercise even if you have: neck; shoulder; back; hip; knee or ankle problems. Anyone who is recovering from illness or injury will find Nordic Walking workouts perfect to gently introduce more activity into their life in a gradual and sustainable way.
Who goes to the Bootcamp Classes
Groups are small, typically 6 – 15 people. We are a friendly mix of locals with a wide variety of backgrounds, who dislike the gym; however, essentially anyone who enjoys getting fitter in the great outdoors. We’re sociable and welcoming and love to encourage others. Everyone has a different fitness goal, some want to shape and tone up, others want to run a marathon, whatever your health and fitness goal, Bootcamp is a great way to achieve it.
