MotivatebootcampReviews 

I absolutely loved my trip to Portugal. The trainers were brilliant. So was the food. I’ve returned with a positive mindset and some clear goals to keep me focused. Thanks Steve and the team. I would thoroughly recommend this boot camp.

Thankyou for a fabulous weekend. Love every minute. Both Steve and Emma were fantastic couldn't have asked for better instructors. So inspiring, and cant wait for the next retreat. 😍

Great bootcamp, great classes and trainers, great fun! The venues and meals are really good. Boosts motivation for a healthier lifestyle. Good value for money.

Excellent boot camp love attending these great for a boost and the trainer is fantastic they are so organised and suitable for all levels he really motivates you I have attended 4 and can’t wait for the next .

Motivate bootcamp does just what it's name suggests
....motivates you! Not just during your stay but afterwards!

If you're looking for an army style bootcamp where people shout at you, make you cry and potentially put you off exercise forever, then this isn't for you!

However, if you want to kick-start your fitness, or just get back on the wagon, or even vary your current exercise regime in a warm, friendly and encouraging environment then this is the bootcamp for you.

It's not all about exercise, the seminars are also useful. We did one called "Barriers to Exercise" which was an eye opener for me! Steve brought it home to me that the only barrier to exercise was ME! We all lead busy lives and can't necessary commit to set times at the gym, but I left bootcamp with lots of tips and tools to incorporate exercise into my day with the available time that I had. Steve's attitude was also incredibly positive. There's no judgment or patronising.....we were even "allowed" to go to the pub for our evening meal

But what about the exercise?? Oh yes, that's why I signed up in the first place 😁 I loved the variety of classes on offer (HIIT, Boxercise, Tabata, Resistance Training, Running and some fun games thrown in too.....the one thing missing was maybe a Pilates or Yoga session, although I know these are available on other bootcamps) there wasn't one I didn't enjoy to be honest, even if I had though they were included in the timetable in "bitesize" amounts so you knew that if it want for you, it wouldn't last forever 😂

Day 1 finished with a fantastic massage which was just what my tired body needed 😆

Having gone to bootcamp already feeling relatively fit, I was quite surprised on day 2 when getting out of bed wasn't as easy as it should have been 🙈 it made me realise the importance of varying my exercise routine.....there were parts of my body that clearly hadn't experienced exercise for quite some time!!

The whole atmosphere was also great 😁 the comoraderie between everyone attending was great.....it was actually quite sad to say goodbye at the end of it. That said, Steve's commitment to you and your fitness doesn't end when you leave. Invited to various groups on Facebook five you the opportunity to stay in touch and keep the motivation going.

I couldn't recommend this bootcamp enough.....I will definitely be attending another one (hopefully a longer one in Portugal!).

This review is written 3 months after I attended my first bootcamp and I can honestly say I AM STILL MOTIVATED!

Thanks Steve and the team......see you again soon 😁

Love the Portugal bootcamps. It's a lot cheaper & more relaxed thank other bootcamps. What's not to like... sun, exercise, great trainers & plenty of time to relax 🌞

I went into this experience wondering if it was really for me, full of worries about being the fattest person there or too overweight and unfit to be able to survive. I also had horror stories running around my head of military style bootcamps that shout at you all weekend and make you do crazy exercises until you collapse and cant even lift your hand to wave them goodbye on the way out... But it wasn't like that at all!
I loved every minute, even the minutes that really ached.
I came away with tools to use in my new fitness routine. I have been introduced to many new forms of exercise which I wouldn't have had the courage or knowledge to try if it wasn't for this weekend away and I met some lovely people lots of whom had the same nervous feelings as me before they went.
The workouts were just hard enough but not too hard that you couldn't do anything for the following week and Steve who runs the camp was lovely and encouraging all the way through.
I even made a couple of suggestions afterwards as to how the weekend could have been slightly improved and they were rectified that very same day!
Great customer service from the team at Motivate Bootcamp and I would definitely consider going to any of the venues as they all look fantastic.
Thanks Steve and Motivate Bootcamp for a great friendly experience!
Can't wait to book again!

I loved my first bootcamp! Steve was great really supportive and encouraging. The venue at Manchester was brilliant and really good value for money. I had the best time and will definitely be back. Thanks for getting me motivated!

I have done 2 weekend bootcamps with Steve and one week long one in Portugal. All of my experience has been positive. There is no shaming or shouting ( well no aggressive shouting :-)) but lots of firm, encouraging pressure to expand how fit / strong you are. It's focused with no time wasted but also fun and friendly. I'll admit to being apprehensive before the first and before going to Portugal but there was no need.

I've been to 2 of Steve's bootcamps, one at Hartington and one Manchester. The first was a YHA but can't complain. Steve prepared all the meals and snacks for us to help ourselves. The Manchester one was a nice hotel with pool, sauna and steam room if you fancy relaxing. Both weekends were excellent and Steve encourages you all the time and with a wide range of activities so there's something for everyone. Everyone is so welcoming and I met a few new friends who I'm hoping to see there again. I'm booking on as many as I can afford! Highly recommended!

I had a great time at my first bootcamp. Steve was really friendly and helpful. I'm far from fit, but i wanted to do something to motivate me to loose weight and improve my fitness.
I went to bootcamp by myself, I was very nervous but everyone was so lovely.
I learnt so much on my weekend away, i took so much away with me.
Highly recommend this bootcamp. I've booked onto my next one already!
