Get Active Bootcamp in Barnsley

Helping You Get Fitter, Feel Healthier, Lose Weight and Enjoy Your Exercise in a Supportive and Friendly Environment

 

Hi there, this is James Porter and I’m your coach at Get Active Bootcamp. I’ve been running my exercise classes in Barnsley for over 10 years now and I’m proud to say that 771 people have benefited from them. You can too!

Before I started exercising way back in 1997, I didn’t understand the power of exercise and how it can help to improve your life. The truth is, most people don’t fully realise what exercise can do for them and I expect this includes YOU.

Due to exercise, my life became much better. I became much fitter, much healthier, had loads more energy, gained more confidence, felt less stressed, had less ill health, and felt happier about my life and about myself.

Overall, I felt physically better and mentally better, and this has helped every single area of my life.

Through helping 771 people with Get Active Bootcamp over more than 10 years, I’ve also seen what positive effect exercise can have on other people. I’ve seen how much better they feel and how much happier they become.

Now it’s your turn!

How Get Active Bootcamp works

Get Active Bootcamp is a 6 week period of exercise classes, with the next bootcamp starting on Monday 30th September.

Each week there are these classes available, where I recommend starting with 1 or 2 classes per week:

• Monday Circuits, 6pm – At Barnsley Academy (Postcode: S70 3DL)
• Wednesday Circuits, 6pm – At Barnsley Academy (Postcode: S70 3DL)
• Saturday Running, 10am – At Locke Park (Postcode: S70 6NF)

All classes are personalised to suit you. You go at your own pace, and I look after you so that you get the most benefit and most enjoyment from your classes.

It doesn’t matter at all where you are now. Most people are beginners when they start, and many people also want to lose weight. What’s important is that you make a start so that you can then get fitter, feel healthier, and move your physical and mental health in the right direction.

It’s also useful to know that most people who do my classes are aged 40 to 65. Both women and men do my classes.

I will help you every step of the way. You have personal access to me at your classes, as well as via email, Facebook, or telephone for when you need any help. I am more than happy to help you be successful.

Following each 6 week period of exercise classes, we go straight into the next bootcamp. Almost everyone keeps going with their classes which shows how beneficial and enjoyable they are.

What’s the difference between joining Get Active Bootcamp and joining a Gym?

Virtually everyone joins a gym at some stage, although for the vast majority of people, a gym does not work for them.

It’s estimated that 67% of people who are members of a gym never actually go! They just continue to pay and waste their money every month hoping that someday they will start going.

One person who started my classes over 7 years ago and is still doing them, was a member of a gym for a year and only went once. That’s a very expensive gym session! So he cancelled his gym membership and joined my classes.

Everyone who does my classes has been a member of a gym in the past. Whereas they couldn’t stick with the gym (like most people can’t), they found that they could willingly and easily stick with my classes. Here’s why…

• My classes are welcoming and are easy to turn up to – Rather than gyms which can be intimidating places where you would rather not go

• You have a friendly and approachable coach (me 😊) who is genuinely interested in you and your progress – Rather than gyms where you are left on your own, and no one even knows your name

• You will exercise with friendly people who understand and encourage you along your journey because they are going along the same journey themselves – Rather than gyms where it’s rare for anyone to talk to you

• You will exercise with “normal people” who are in the same or similar position to you – My classes are NOT for super fit 20 somethings who like to pose in front of a mirror and admire their slim figure, like you see at gyms

• My classes are fun and engaging where the time goes very quickly – Rather than at gyms where you can be left isolated, feel bored, and where the time drags

• You will feel comfortable doing your exercise with like-minded people, where you can exercise with no one looking at you – Rather than at gyms where you can feel like you are being watched and judged by people

• You have me on hand, any time you need help. I am there for every second of every minute at your classes – Rather than at gyms where you have to go out of your way to find an instructor, and even then you don’t feel comfortable talking with them

Overall, I provide you with a high level of friendly and professional service which gyms can’t match. This is because Get Active Bootcamp is my business and my livelihood, but even more than that, I do it because I genuinely care to help people improve their life.

When you start Get Active Bootcamp, you will see the difference right away from your very first class! I want the best for YOU.

So rather than paying for a gym membership that turns out very expensive per visit because most people don’t go enough anyway, you can:

• Start Get Active Bootcamp by doing 1 or 2 classes per week
• Have personalised classes for you
• Be with friendly people
• Have fun while you exercise
• And get results that make a real difference to your life, like getting fitter, feeling healthier, and losing weight

When people join Get Active Bootcamp they normally stay for many months and often for years (many people have done my bootcamp for over 5 years and are still going strong and loving it). This is compared to a gym where it’s normal for people to stop going within a few months.

This is because Get Active Bootcamp is on a completely different enjoyment level and provides you with a much better experience than going to a gym.

So join Get Active Bootcamp and be motivated, inspired, cared for and valued, enjoy your exercise, and get the results you are looking for!

 

Be willing to overcome obstacles and excuses to improve your life

Get Active Bootcamp and my exercise classes are well established and are proven to be successful for people. My classes have been going for over 10 years with 771 people enjoying my classes and getting much fitter and healthier.

Having said this, there are lots of people who don’t do my classes who could literally change their life, if they would only turn up to their first class.

Some people are too scared to join my classes. They lack confidence and belief in themselves, so they suffer with much poorer health and fitness than they could have. They feel worse every single day, when they could feel much better.

If this sounds like you, then it’s time to get out of your comfort zone, expand your boundaries, and experience life and the opportunities you have around you more. There really is nothing to be scared of, which you will find out at your first class. You have everything to gain!

Some people don’t like to travel. So if the classes aren’t around the corner or within a 15 minute drive, they aren’t interested. This is a self-imposed limitation, because while someone uses that excuse, other people are turning up to my classes, loving them, and improving their life.

People travel from all areas of Barnsley to do my classes. People even travel from the surrounding areas, like Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster, Wakefield, Ackworth, and Huddersfield. If they can, then so can you!

So even if you need to travel a little to make my classes, why not do it? Why not make the commitment to getting fitter and improving your physical and mental health?

Also, factor in that if you had a gym membership that was around the corner but you barely go and don’t enjoy it, what good would that do for you? What good has it done you in the past?

Isn’t it worth travelling to a class you enjoy, that you really want to turn up to, and that gets you results you are happy with? Yes!

I promise you that you can achieve much more than you currently realise, if you can just find the strength inside you to turn up to Get Active Bootcamp and overcome the negative self-talk that is holding back you and your life.

 

Here’s a helpful tip for you – Commitment v’s Motivation

Did you know there is a difference between commitment and motivation? Once you understand this difference, you can decide what you want to do from here with your exercise and whether you are going to move forwards with your life.

Motivation is short term and is more like a feeling. You might feel like exercising on a day so you do it. Or you don’t feel like exercising so you don’t.

The trouble with relying on motivation is that it depends on which side of the bed you get out of. So your exercise will be very inconsistent. For example, you may exercise for a while at the start of the New Year or in the run up to a holiday, but you never keep it up.

Many people wait until they feel motivated before they start exercising, and they end up waiting a long time! Meanwhile they are suffering from poorer health and fitness than they could have, and are missing out on the life changing benefits they could be experiencing.

Commitment on the other hand is much more powerful. It’s where you realise that you are important, and it’s important that you look after your body and mind by exercising consistently each week.

When taking off injury or holidays, I have exercised every single week since 1997. That’s not because I’m obsessed with exercise, but because I want to live a healthy life and be at my best and feel good.

So you make a commitment to yourself. This means rather than only exercising when you are motivated or feel like it, you exercise whether you feel like it or not. What you will find is that on days when you don’t really feel like exercising, yet you still do it, you will feel loads better for the rest of the day.

This also builds your confidence and self-esteem because you are now looking after yourself, and making your health and fitness and ultimately your quality of life a priority. This helps you and everyone else in your life that you love.

Make your commitment to exercise every week and you have just made an extremely positive step to improving your life and how good you feel!

To help you get there, join Get Active Bootcamp and make your commitment to the next 6 weeks of classes.

 

Get Active Bootcamp frequently asked questions

 

I would like to join your bootcamp but can’t make every week. Can I still join?

Yes. If for example, you have a holiday coming up or other commitment and you can’t make all 6 weeks, then you can still join and pay for the weeks you can make.

Just send me an email at james@getactivefitnesscoaching.co.uk, or call me on 07804 956966, and we can confirm what weeks you are making and how much to pay.

 

What if I can’t make the same class every week?

You may be in a position where you work shifts, or you sometimes have other work or family commitments, which means you can’t make the same day every week.

The good news is that your classes are flexible. For example, if you can’t make your normal Monday class, you could do the Wednesday class instead. Or if you can’t make your class one week, then you are welcome to get in an extra class another week.

Other people at the bootcamp do the same, and it works best all round to have a flexible approach for you when you need it.

 

What happens after each 6 week bootcamp?

Following each 6 week period of exercise classes, we go straight into the next bootcamp. Almost everyone keeps going with their classes which shows how beneficial and enjoyable they are.

The added benefit for you is that every 6 weeks you get to renew your commitment to your exercise and to yourself. This makes it easier to be consistent with your exercise and therefore helps you get the very best results.

 

I’m very unfit and overweight. Will I be able to do your classes?

Yes! My classes are suitable for complete beginners and upwards because the exercises are personalised exactly to suit you. This is much better than everybody of different fitness and abilities trying to do the same thing.

Doing personalised classes is how you get the very best results, as well as the most enjoyment.

You will then feel even more motivated, which means you look forward to doing your classes and you keep getting better and better results as you go along. So it all works together where you keep improving over time.

 

I’m so unfit. Will I be behind everyone else?

The person who is the furthest behind, is the person who does nothing, and just thinks about joining Get Active Bootcamp but does nothing about it.

The most important thing is to make a start. You can make excellent progress from there with your fitness, health, and feeling much better about yourself.

At my classes, you do NOT have to keep up with anyone else. Instead, you go at your own pace and you also push yourself as easy or as hard as you like. It’s a very friendly environment and there’s no pressure at all.

You focus on yourself at my classes and do what’s best for you. This is how you get the very best results and the most enjoyment.

 

I have problems with my knees, back, arthritis, etc. Can I still do your classes?

Many people who do my classes have a health issue, like with their knees, back, or arthritis.

With my classes you go at your own pace, and you build up your fitness, strength, and health. Then the fitter and stronger your body and muscles become, the less severe and fewer health problems you will have.

The worst thing you can do for any health issue is nothing because then you just deteriorate further. Many people join my classes and do small amounts of exercise at the start, but have then gone on to be capable of much more, and with their health issues feeling better or even disappearing!

 

What do I need to bring to my classes?

At your classes we are in a very nice space for exercise, and I have all the equipment needed.

So you can simply turn up in some clothes that you feel comfortable to exercise in. You can also bring a bottle of water, which most people do, for when we have breaks during the class.

There’s no need to overthink things or make things more complicated than they are. Just join Get active Bootcamp, turn up to your first class, and you will be extremely happy that you did.

A personal message from James to you

Someone once said to me about my classes that they are for “normal people” which I took as a big compliment.

You won’t come to my classes and feel intimidated by the 20 or 30 year old somethings who are super fit with a great looking body. Instead, you find the everyday person who wants to better themselves and their life by getting fitter, feeling healthier, or losing weight.

There are all different shapes and sizes at my classes and nobody is bothered about what anyone else looks like. It also doesn’t matter what fitness level you are, or how old you are.

You can personalise my classes to suit you and you always go at your own pace. My approach is to politely encourage you and treat you with respect. Me and the people who do my classes are very friendly and supportive.

Most people start as beginners and many people also want to lose weight, and they make excellent progress from there and become much fitter and healthier. This means feeling loads better, both physically and mentally.

Give Get Active Bootcamp a try. It could be life changing for you, or at least it will be life enhancing. Push yourself and get out of your comfort zone by joining my classes and you will be very glad that you did 😊
