As you can see, Boot Camp isn't for slackers, but you don't need to be a machine either. 

A positive mental attitude, team spirit and a commitment to hard graft is what's needed to get you through, but you'll feel superb after every session.

Army Boot Camp Fitness is a structured and fitness graded 60 minute class for people who want to build and maintain their fitness.

The majority of classes start at 7pm weekdays and 10 am at weekends - see the timetable section for more info.

If you're tired of the smell of the gym, the unsociable members and the 'nobody talks to me' culture then come along to your local park for an exciting new kind of health and fitness experience.

We have a superb team and personal fitness training environment for all levels of fitness every day in the parks of London, so start today!

First things first. Health and Safety.

Fill in the online application form which will take about, umm... 3 minutes.

If you are generally fit and well, we take you for your first class for free, with no obligation to join whatsoever. 

Remember to turn up 15 minutes early before your first class.

The class is split according to ability so you will always be with people who have the same fitness level as you, so please, don't worry about being at the back of the class; you can't ALL be there!

Check out the Join section for full details on getting involved.  You can also read this article for more information on how the groups are separated out by fitness level or why not click here to see the full joining process in a flowchart.

Our highly qualified and trained ex-Forces Physical Training Instructors will help you to achieve everything you want to whether that means losing weight, improving your all round fitness, or simply having fun and feeling good about yourself.

It's a great way to meet new people and get fit, so ring to arrange your free trial class today or just come along to any of our venues at any time and try out for free.

You will need to fill out some forms and so on all of which are in the Join section of this site.

Come on your own, or bring friends - either way, we know you'll have a great time and be made to feel really welcome.

You should wear comfortable loose fitting clothing such as t-shirts, shorts or jogging bottoms depending on the weather.

Don't buy expensive clothes either as you'll be running around in the park getting you clothes dirty, so don't get your kit from Harrods, whatever you do!

As for trainers or running shoes, we find that people show up in their old trainers they use for painting and they will do for a while.

It's only after a couple of lessons that you realise that you will need better shoes with proper impact protection to help stabilise and support your foot.

Run and Become is an excellent specialist shop and a good pair of trainers can be had for about £70.

Decathlon also stock clothing and trainers which are budget but fully functional and very good quality.
