Liam

After 10 weeks of strength training my weakest lift the bench press went up by 35kg for 8 reps and I gained almost a stone in lean muscle mass!

MAGAZINE PUBLISHER

Playing regular sport until the age of 45 kept my weight down but my knees, ankles and hips were suffering so I gave the lot up!
Seven years later (and two stone heavier) I decided to join the gym!
I had been dieting and exercising for six months when Sean Burgess saw me on the treadmill, struggling and limping, so he suggested to me that I needed a structured program to help me get the most from my efforts and strengthen my problem knees and ankles. 15 sessions later and I’m playing football (ok, not too competitively) again without using a knee brace or ankle support. I’ve dropped another stone in weight, my ‘beer belly’ is reducing and my body shape has been very much improved. I’m stronger, fitter and in better shape that I was ten years ago!
Every session with Sean is different and never dull. They are well balanced between strength, cardio and suppleness and Sean’s nutritional advice is helping too. He is not an ‘aggressive’ task master – he gently encourages – and I always enjoy my hour with him.
The gym is a much more interesting place to go now and rather than just using the cross trainer, running and rowing machines I use a number of exercises and techniques that I have learned from Sean.

Katie

I attended physio with Jenny to overcome a lower back injury and was impressed with her level of care and professionalism. She created a personalised plan around my working schedule, and I was completely pain free within a couple sessions.

Val Jeffries

PROJECT MANAGER
I feel 10 years younger!

Sean was faced with various issues when training me, my age (45) the fact that I hadn’t exercised for many years and my health condition, being fibromyalgia. Sean started at a good pace, pushing me, but at a rate I could recover from and want to return! He made each session different and worked on my body as a whole, looking at all muscle groups and my aerobic fitness. Each week the intensity increased and towards the end of my training I was achieving things I would never have dreamed I could do.
I lost weight, toned up and increased my fitness levels to a level I would not have thought possible. I still attend the gym regularly and train hard and I am in training for the Bournemouth Bay run and will be running 10K next weekend. I have gained my confidence back in my body’s ability and feel 10 years younger!!
Sean was patient and understanding, especially as my memory is not too hot any more! He has equipped with me exercises that I can use again and again and keep myself in shape and give myself a challenging but vairied workout. He also gave me valuable advise on diet and nutrition, changing the way I eat permanently.

ACCOUNTS MANAGER
"At 51 I feel fantastic!"

I have attended Sean’s Bootcamp sessions regularly over the last few months. Each session is completely different from the last and no two are ever the same. I love this variety as predicable exercising sessions for me quickly become boring. Sometimes you work individually and others involve an element of team or partner work.
Sean’s endless energy, enthusiasm and encouragement are infectious and he encourages everyone to work to their maximum ability. His knowledge of exercise and how the body functions is reassuring and he watches everyone to ensure that technique is correct, therefore minimising the chances of injury. There are always alternatives and “easier” options for those that have an injury or are restricted by a condition (such as myself).
At the end of every session I have a tremendous feeling of achievement. Above all Sean makes it fun and I always look forward to the next time. At 51 I feel fantastic and I know that my levels of fitness exceed those of many of my peers. So thank you Sean!!

Julie

Hi I’m Julie, I am 50 years old, I have been doing bootcamp for a few years now, this is my 5th or 6th bootcamp. I really enjoy it it has transformed how I feel about myself, I’ve lost weight I eat healthily. It is really brilliant to get all your exercise out of the way in the morning so that get home, have a decent breakfast and get on with your day and not worry about having to do any exercise in the evening. I have met loads of new people and made some close friends that we see socially. It’s just really fantastic, I’ve completely changed my body shape, I had problems with my knees before, all sorts of joint problems and doing exercise has really helped that. And I would recommend it anybody, any shape or size, any age, It’s FANTASTIC!!
