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....

Saturday's Hull Bootcamp

Afternoon Everyone,

Early Saturday morning, the John Cammish Bootcamp lads got a wee bit of a shock. I rolled up with a new keg . . . . which weighed a bit more than the last! They soon got the hang of it though - check these pictures out.




These simple training tools could teach you a thing or two if you think weights can't get you fit


I introduced some dumbell rows which went down pretty well. This was probably due to the fact you could rest a bit more!



Make no mistake - That's a 30kg Dumbell Carl is haulin'. I personally don't even think he'd try that in the gym if there was some 70's disco music putting him off. None of that crap outside!

Last but not least: Here is a picture of Darren showing the sled whos's boss.




These are a lot harder than they look. Anyone who tells you that pulling this sled backwards a few times is easy is a liar!


This weeks Bootcamps are as usual:

Thursday Night (9th) 6pm;
Saturday Morning (11th) 8am;


Do not pass up this opportunity to see what it's like to train hard, and achieve more than you have done already. Luck favours the brave, and winners take chances. Losers sit and do nothing.

So what's it gonna be?
