Changing Times..... Changing Prices....

It is all change at the Gale Force Workout and I am in the process of updating times and prices!

All of this should be on the website by the end of the weekend but in the mean time here is your sneak preview.....

Morning Workout times:
Monday 06:30-07:15
Tuesday 07:00-07:45
Wednesday 06:30-07:15
Friday 07:00-07:45

Also from 2nd September I am going to hold 2 evening sessions each week:-
Tuesday 18:30-19:15
Thursday 18:30-19:15


Every one in the group seems to know people who like the idea of the boot camp but don't like the early start. If I get enough interest I will look at finding an inside venue to take us through the dark months. So please tell everyone you know!

I have also taken on board your comments about four sessions a week being too much. I have therefore revised the session prices as follows:-
2 sessions per week for 4 weeks £40
3 sessions per week for 4 weeks £54
4 sessions per week for 4 weeks £64

You can pick and choose between morning or evening sessions and it gives you the chance to catch up any missed sessions (within the four week period).

Great news!

Friends and family have started noticing the difference!

Several participants have commented that they have had some very complimentary comments from friends and family about their changing shape.

Monday and Tuesday Boot Camp

We've had a couple of beautiful mornings but it's been a bit drippy under the trees in Ashley Cross Park!

20 minutes of interval training plus exercises to tone the legs and bum were the order of the day on Monday. Working by yourself it would've been difficult to keep going for the 20 minutes, especially at 6.30in the morning!, but as a team the time passed quickly. Everyone left feeling energised for the day ahead.

On Tuesday we worked the upper body - backs, chests and arms - we all love toned arms and the back exercises will help relieve many forms of back pain.

This workout really does target and tone the whole body!

Friday Boot Camp

End of the week and everyone is beginning to feel the effects of their new training regime. On the plus side that means that clothes are fitting better, legs and arms etc are feeling more toned.

On the down side it means everyone is feeling a little bit drained. Many aren't used to the additional calorie requirements needed for the exercise (yes, whilst still losing inches!) and some may not be drinking enough (water I mean!).

We had a light(ish) session at the park today with 4 obstacle course races.

It's great exercising in the outdoors in August! Since camp began we've had just one drizzly day, mainly it's been sunny and warm with a light, refreshing breeze!

Monday Bootcamp

Another sunny morning on the Green in Ashley Cross!

This morning's workout included jump roping, assisted (or should that be resisted?) running both backwards and forwards and plenty to slim down the waist and bum. Some participants commented that they hadn't done skipping since they were 12 - but that just meant they were using muscles that hadn't seen much action in years!

As always participants left bursting with energy and raring to go.

What is the Gale Force Workout?

The Gale Force Workout gives you a 45 minute workout 2, 3 or 4 days a week. Workouts are designed to work every muscle of your body and your cardiovascular system to get you the results you want regarding fat loss and muscle tone. They will boost your energy levels and leave you feeling smug as you go to work - know you've already done your exercise for the day!

The Gale Force Workout uses a wide variety of exercises and every session will be different ensuring you never get bored with the same old routine.

We train as a team. We succeed as a team. We will become healthier, faster, happier, and fitter. In 6 short weeks, we will strive to accomplish what most people will never do in their whole life, AND we will have fun doing it!

The Gale Force Workout is about having fun, and meeting people with like minded goals; together you will drive each other to go further than you imagined possible. You’ll have the benefits of a personal trainer, but in a group setting!
