Frequent Asked Questions
WHO IS BOOTCAMP FOR?
Anybody wishing to improve their fitness levels and try a new style of exercise outside the average gym experience. Suitable for beginners and experienced players. We also have a special program for kids and moms! A Creative and fun way to get fit! Currently our sessions are made up of mixed women and men both working professional, house wives and students. We also have sportsman and gym goers looking for new ways of cross training and people bored of normal gym training. Predominantly more internationals and half-pats though local Chinese are getting into it now too! Some people prefer the space and open style of outdoor training as opposed to a crammed health club. For the poeple that have no time and do not wish to be outdoors we now offer the XP30 indoor bootcamp at our new downtown studio. See the bootcamp packages for details.
Sign up as an individual or with a group of friends. If you have office colleagues and need a team fitness program, ask us about our Corporate Boot Camp Training.
DO I NEED TO BE FIT TO DO BOOT CAMP?
Of course not, that's why you are coming to us! Prior to course commencement each participant will attend an induction and preliminary screening which will determine current fitness levels and body measurements allowing us to cater for, and if needed place each recruit into a team depending on his/her individual fitness level. Classes are mixed male and female with teams of similar specifications. Players can go at their own pace or push themselves to the maximum!
SAFETY FIRST
Safety is a priority and we take every precaution to ensure that you are safe at all times. We encourage every recruit to manage their own personal safety by wearing suitable exercise clothing, shoes and to maintain safe levels of hydration during exercise.
WHAT SORT OF RESULTS CAN I GET?
The physical benefits from Boot Camp include increased fitness (cardio) levels, reduced body fat and increased muscle tone. The results gained however are not only physical as many recruits also report that they sleep better, have more energy and in some cases feel more confidence and motivation in all other areas of their lives to achieving a healthier life style.
ALREADY GO TO GYM WHY DO I NEED BOOTCAMP?
The body will adapt to even the most strenuous workouts after a short period of time, which explains why some people complain about going to the gym regularly yet not seeing any results. BootCamp workouts are designed to prevent the plateau by constantly challenging the body in unexpected ways while taking advantage of everything the outdoors has to offer. The net result for you: getting more out of your workout hour than ever before, while never getting bored of your surroundings.
WHY DOES BOOTCAMP COST xxxx RMB WHEN I CAN GO TO _______ gym for only xxx RMB?
Every session of bootcamp is designed and orchestrated by a qualified trainer who will ensure you have proper form on all the movements and provides the motivation that you will never have on your own.

They lure you in with an attractive price and actually want you to fail and quit to free up space for more. We are passionate about our work and in order for you to get the results you desire, we will demand your 100% commitment within the sessions.
