Which is better for improving fitness; boot camps or 1 to 1 training?

So you are looking to get fit. You’re sick of being unable to run for the bus, annoyed that you struggle to carry your shopping home and infuriated that it feels like you’re the only person who is out of shape. But then there’s the decision of how you are going to make this change happen. You already have a gym membership so that clearly wasn't the answer but there are two options available that interest you; boot-camps and 1 to 1 training. If you don’t know which to choose as your new method for improving fitness then don’t worry, because we have asked Lee over at Gym Free Trainers, the best personal trainers in Liverpool, to tell us which is the best method for getting fit.

Boot-camps

Lee states "As a personal trainer in Liverpool I regularly take group boot-camp sessions and the buzz is amazing." The buzz comes from the fact boot-camps are usually held in larger venues with more people attending, and because of this you get high levels of energy. It’s rare that a boot-camp will use equipment so it is usually body resistance work coupled with body weight exercises; a mixture of press ups, sit ups, burpies and other exercise. There is a reason this type of group exercise is called a ‘boot camp’; it is meant to resemble an army exercise program. And like in the army, these kind of situations encourages high energy as well as camaraderie. "The best boot camps I do are usually 10 to 12 people who all know each other and help to spur one another on," says Lee. Boot camps then, give their users the extra kick in motivation that they need to get out there and get active.

1 to 1 Training

"1 to 1 training is the backbone of the work I do as a personal trainer in Liverpool, and it is definitely the most rewarding. This is because it’s here that you usually see the most progress." 1 to 1 Personal training is clearly an effective way to exercise. With the help of your trainer you can focus down on unique goals and tailor your program to yourself rather than the group exercise of the boot camp. This style of exercise is all about the individual and can mean great results in terms of fitness. But with the focus on you comes the need for you to be able to motivate and energize yourself. If you can do this then 1 to 1 training is for you.

Overall then, choosing between boot camps and 1 to 1 training really comes down to the individual. If you have the energy and motivation to get things done by yourself then 1 to 1 training is for you. But if you feel like you need that extra kick then maybe boot camps will suit you better. Either way choosing a good personal trainer is the key to improving your fitness!
