R.I.P. Bodypump / Personal trainer weight loss focus

Yes its official, yesterday I taught Bodypump for effectively the last time (or at best for a long long while).

I did feel bad at first quitting teaching this popular class, but sometimes you 've just got to do the right thing.....Coming soon is an article that will let you find out the training reasons why I have stopped teaching it, and how this might affect your training methods. The article will really make you think about whether it is a good class long-term, as the benefits really do stall out after a couple of months. Keep a look-out for it around the 10th October ;) .

On the business side of things, I quit teaching because it doesn't pay that well, and also when you take into account the amount of work that goes into learning the songs, choreography, exercises etc....it really does sap your energy and reduce time helping clients. Throw in the cds and music license you have to buy, classes you have to attend, and it comes down to no choice at all! So there are my reasons, (along with the future training-related article) because I know a few were unhappy about me stopping. I have had some good times in the 3 and a half years teaching it, and had a few laughs too!

If you were in a class of mine and liked my style, some of you may know about the bootcamps I have been running. If there is demand, I will try to run a 9.30am class - as I know this is a good time for many women.

I will see if I get emails to get one going! A regular 5-6+ people attending and will make for a permanent fat loss circuit.

Holiday

I go away to Portugal soon (woop woop!) and therefore Personal training sessions and Bootcamps will obviously be on hold temporarily. I am actually going to look forward to easing into training rather than having to teach a pump class and not being able to walk for 3 days!

Bootcamps

Monday is now Bootcamp day!

The mens Thursday night session is now going to run on a Monday at 6pm.

Womens will also change to to a Monday night at 7pm. Both sessions are going to be held at St. Josephs church on Boothferry Road. I am expecting quite a few new faces as I am hearing the benefits - namely tighter glutes, thighs and arms from the women, and greater overall strength and intensity from the men.

Hope to see you soon!

John

PS Keep training hard, and trying to progress - something that Bodypump fails to look at....

Personal Trainer in Hull

As a reputable Personal Trainer in Hull, I've been absolutely buzzin' about the men's Strength and Conditioning Bootcamp in Hull. It's quite noticeably getting the lads stronger, more powerful and fitter - 3 attributes you want from an exercise program. Accompany this with a supporting diet, and you have a good recipe for maintaining or building muscle while burning fat (i.e. achieving a more 'toned' body).


Saturday was no exception, where I introduced some waterbottle swings and suspended push ups.


Anyway, pictures speak louder than words. . . . . . . . .

Like what you see and want to get involved? Do you know someone who would like exercising outdoors to get fit and strong? Email me here or leave a comment because I want to know what you think.

Keep bettering yourself,

PS I really really want to hear your comments on the photos, the exercises and thoughts on the Bootcamp.

Is The Hull Bootcamp For You?

The Hull Bootcamp on Saturday was again filled with a ton (bodyweight sled pun anyone?!!) of effort, mixing some walking lunges, pull ups, with the the usual carrying stations and more.

Some figure-of-8's went down a treat! We will have to make them more regular than I have been doing :) .

What disappointed me a little was that some guys had put their name down to mix it up, but then didn't show. One guy did let me know just before due to illness, but for the 3 that were no shows - I couldn't help but think what the excuses were.

Was it the raining the night before? A few people at the Village Gym where I am mainly based said on the Friday that it forecast heavy rain and asked would it go ahead.

Eh? What do you mean? Of course the Bootcamp is going ahead! Has everyone turned to being a pansie in their cushty, air conditioned, £45+ a month gym?


The weather does not dictate your life.


You make your decisions and stick to your beliefs. This highlighted a major factor - and probably the most underated factor when it comes to making a positive change to your lifestyle:


ATTITUDE.


Your attitude is what will get you out of bed on those winter mornings where its p*ssing down outside and the warmth of your bed is just heavenly. Your attitude is what will get you up out of your seat after you have come in from work and sat down (ever wonder every same person has the same idea of doing their exercise straight after work? Yes, its often because its on the way and it time-effective; But very often, It is the fact than once you have come in from work, had a sit down, and know that you don't 'have' to get up - you won't!

On a side note, the best Strength and Conditioning Bootcamp in Hull is not for everyone.

If you can't handle the rain - then this is not for you. If you can't handle getting dirt on your new T-shirt - this is not for you. If you find the recline bike too much like hard work, This Bootcamp is not for you!

"I actually lift weights but I'm getting paid to model for this piece of equipment that I've never even used"

Once you work out what you actually want in terms of body shape, strength, work capacity and overall fitness, you can make your choice what to do with your time. It is your choice.
