Question 1

What is Bootcamp?

Accepted Answer

Bootcamp is an intense group class in which you train in rounds using your own body weight and simple equipment. Think running, jumping, squatting, lifting and hauling, one after the other with hardly any rest.

The aim is a complete workout for stamina and strength. Because every class is put together differently, it rarely gets boring. Looking for a fixed, measurable format? Then take a look at HYROX too.

Question 2

Is Bootcamp suitable for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Bootcamp is easy to scale: for every exercise the trainer offers a lighter variation, so you can join in safely at your own level. Even so, it's one of the tougher classes.

If you've only just started working out, you're better off starting with Total Body Workout or Spinning. There you'll learn the basics and build up your stamina. After a few weeks, you'll find it easier to move on to Bootcamp.

Question 3

How tough is Bootcamp?

Accepted Answer

The intensity is high. Your heart rate stays up for the whole class and you work your entire body. You'll be tired afterwards, and that's exactly the point.

You decide how far you push yourself. Fewer reps, a lighter variation or a moment to catch your breath is always fine. Would you rather build up your stamina at your own pace first? Then Spinning is a good stepping stone.

Question 4

What are the benefits of Bootcamp?

Accepted Answer

Your stamina improves quickly and you get stronger in movements you also use outside the gym. Thanks to the high intensity, you burn a lot of energy in a single hour.

You also learn to keep going. Many people find they get more out of themselves in a group than when they train alone in the fitness area.

Question 5

What's the difference between Bootcamp and HYROX?

Accepted Answer

Both classes are intense and combine strength with stamina. Bootcamp is all about variety: every class looks different.

HYROX uses a fixed, measurable format of functional exercises alternated with running or cardio, so you can see your progress in black and white. If you love variety, choose Bootcamp; if you want to work towards a goal, choose HYROX.

Question 6

What should I bring to Bootcamp?

Accepted Answer

Sportswear you can move freely in, sturdy trainers, a towel and a water bottle. Arrive a few minutes early so you can get changed without rushing and let the trainer know you're new. You'll find the class times in the schedule.

Question 7

How long does a Bootcamp class last?

Accepted Answer

A Bootcamp class lasts 60 minutes, including a warm-up and cool-down. You'll find the current class times in the schedule.

Question 8

How many times a week can I do Bootcamp?

Accepted Answer

For most members, one to three times a week works well, depending on your recovery and your goals. Give your body enough rest between tough classes.

Feel free to combine Bootcamp with a calmer class such as Yin Yoga or Easy Flow Yoga. It helps you recover and stay supple.

Question 9

Does Bootcamp help you lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Bootcamp burns a lot of energy and makes you stronger, and that helps. But weight loss depends mainly on what you do and eat throughout the week; one class a week won't change that on its own.

If losing weight is your specific goal, combine Bootcamp with strength training in the gym and stick to a regular routine. We're happy to help you work out a plan during a free introduction.

Question 10

Can I do Bootcamp with an injury?

Accepted Answer

That depends on the injury. Bootcamp involves a lot of jumping and fast movements, and that isn't suitable for every injury. Always let the trainer know.

If you're unsure, drop in at our physiotherapy practice in the same building first. Spinning is often a good alternative, because it puts little strain on your knees and ankles.

Question 11

Where can I do Bootcamp in Breda?

Accepted Answer

At Black & White, Takkebijsters 2 in Breda. In the same building you'll also find the fitness area, yoga and Pilates, and physiotherapy, so Bootcamp is easy to combine with other training.
