The benefits of coming to a Bootcamp Fitness Class run by motive8 north are numerous. Here are some of the reasons you should be attending these bootcamps:

1. Great Results In Minimum Time: If you’re pushed for time and can’t afford to spend 4 hours a week in the gym, coming to these 1 hour action packed workouts will do the trick. Training the whole body in one session using alternating muscle groups allows you to push through a greater amount of exercises in minimal time.

2. A Holistic Approach To Your Fitness: The bootcamps at Motive8 North are varied each week, with one week focused on conditioning the next on strength development. Taking a linear approach to training is where a lot of frequent gym goers go wrong causing their progress to stall. Focusing on a couple of key variables in a conjugated approach as done in our bootcamps provides a much more rounded base of fitness.

3. Send Your Metabolism through the roof: Research has shown that one key variable to boost hormones responsible for fat burning is utilising high intensity protocols and utilising medium to heavy resistance training with short rest intervals. These form the foundation of our bootcamps. You will burn more calories in 20 minutes at the bootcamp than you will in an hour jogging on the treadmill.

4. Stop Yourself Getting Bored: For most people it isn’t the gym workout that stops people getting results, its the commitment, bootcamps bring a new element of challenge and variety each week. Keeping you stimulated mentally is a key factor in maintiang a fitness regime.  Not to mention the amazing banter in the sessions……..

5. Community: Our bootcamps in Leeds have such  variety of clients, there are clients who have been training with us for years, they are strong, fit and well conditioned from coming to bootcamp but we also we have beginners who have just got into exercise. Having such a variety of individuals in these sessions helps push the whole group to the next level. The novices are inspired by the stories of weight loss, improvements in fitness etc from the advanced guys, and the advanced guys are constantly motivated by the efforts of the new guys. Its a viscous cycle that produces amazing results and a great community.

6. Builds The Work Capacity Of A Shire Horse: If you play sport, or run you’ll know how important work capacity is, and I’m guessing you know how hard it is to develop. The bootcamp sessions due to such low rest periods build lungs that god himself couldn’t create. The transfer into sports like rugby, football, hockey, long distance running are tremendous. We’ve had clients destroy PB times on 10ks etc just by adding in this extra weekly session.
