Bootcamp: Losing Weight, Gaining Friends

Have you been doing your daily workout every day since 2012 and yet you have become bored of the same routine, seeing the same people, and doing the same things every single day?

Do you want to work out with a group but not a zumba, yoga, or pilates class? Then you can try doing bootcamp that offers another type of workout for you, maybe you can learn a skill or two. One popular bootcamp in Birmingham is ShapingU’s Better Body Boxing. This is a great example of staying fit, losing A LOT of weight while learning how to do boxing. Benefits of Being in a Bootcamp Making New Friends- Friends make bootcamps fun, they make you go to classes and be more accountable to each other. If you are one of those individuals who are reluctant to make friends then bootcamp is one avenue for you to be social. Sometimes, these bootcamp-mates can make you feel part of a fitness family. Having a Personal Trainer-Like Experience- BUT at a lesser cost. Bootcamp trainers or managers make sure that the needs are met and questions are answered. These trainers constantly look after the participants and give tips on correct form, nutrition, and fitness. Fresh Air- There are bootcamps who conduct regular sessions outside their gyms and do it outdoors to give their participants a chance to be with nature and inhale fresh air.
