People often wonder what our bootcamps are like, we thought of telling you a bit more about our famous: Renegade Bootcamp. The Social Media team at Fitness O2 went to JBR to witness a session. We got to the meeting point close to Hilton JBR around 7:15pm , since the session starts at 7:30 sharp, and God knows where our trainers take the bootcampers once the session starts, part of the fun!We were surprised to see a group of very disciplined bootcampers already mingling, chit chatting, and getting in the mood, with the trainers having all the equipment and props lined up and ready, and even giving some encouraging comments to the avid bootcampers.
A bit later, we met up with two of our most loyal bootcampers, Jamil and Shereef, who were kind enough to pose for our camera, looking very fresh and energetic before the workout guys :). You recognize the veterans quickly: they are always prepared with their bottles of water. In case you don't know, high intensity workout means, a lot of water!
The session started with some warm up run on the nice sandy beach of JBR, then the real deal started: to our luck tonight's session was very focused on boxing, bootcampers teamed up in pairs, one wearing gloves, the other wearing the pads, and off it went, one minute this, one minute that, swap over, recover, quick water, then a mixture of abs with boxing to spice things up. The striking thing about it was how each person was encouraging his / her partner in the team thus motivating one another to perform better, push harder.
The session then moved into some core exercises, with a lot of focus on abs, lower abs, upper abs (we lost track), and finally a cool down and stretch. The bootcamp ended with everyone coming together, the trainers giving some last comments (this week is the last week of the February session, and the final assessment is on thursday, so better give it 'all you got').
We will be posting some videos next time so stay tuned.
