Sat here in my office in London a complete world away from my week at New You Boot Camp in a pair of trousers that prior to the experience used to fill me with dread at the very thought of putting them on – now hanging off my hips!

A week at Boot camp was the idea of my dear friend Nicola, and during this week with her I questioned our friendship the most whilst sliding leopard style in the pouring rain under a cargo net!

This week does exactly what it says on the packet I lost 10lbs and 10 inches – I found muscles that I didn’t think I had, an attitude that had long since laid dormant reasserting itself and smile that has yet to subside every time I think about the week’s events. I am now a reformed caffeine and salt addict, who has fallen in love with Tap Water, Herbal Tea and Boxing! I have so much energy I scare myself!

Staff Penn, Reitz & Schofield were every bit the educators and motivators. Ensuring we got everything we wanted out of the week. I sustained a knee injury and they showed me that I could still exercise through it to have the successful weight and inch loss I achieved.

Its nothing like the BROWNIES… Its BOOT CAMP so be fully prepared to work… There are no gimmicks just hard graft but the results are worth every aching muscle!

Cant shout your praises loud enough and we hoping to come back next year for a week (Satnav).  I have continued to be wheat & dairy free – and down from 11.2 with you girls to 9.13lbs at the moment and in a size 10…

Am just in the process of changing my job and have so much more confidence…*
