Marie
"Started at 60 day Bootcamp challenges 10 months ago and loving the variety of these classes. It's also really lovely exercising outdoors and the people and Mike the trainer are very encouraging!!"
Andree
"I love that every session is a bit different! And Just the right amount of motivation from Mike!! The fastest hour! But the longest minutes"
Sarah
"It's only been four weeks and despite the early mornings, I'm committed! It's exactly what I needed and loving that each session is different, so keeps it interesting, really enjoying it!"
Pascale
"Have been with Mike for the most part of 2 years..... coming from a person with a slight physical challenge he (or the rest of the group) never makes me feel like I can’t do anything.... he is always so motivating and encouraging..... come join the team.... it’s heaps of fun but also plain hard work.... so glad that I got him recommended to me!"
Bianca
"Loving this new training group ... so good to be keeping it local and training outdoors ... perfect start to my day!"
Lizzie
"The hardest thing is getting out of bed in the morning to head to boot camp, but totally worth it. The feeling after a good workout with Mike is amazing. His always pushing you, making sure that your technique is correct to avoid injury and checks that everyone is ok frequently throughout the session. The best thing is I do shift work and his so accommodating to this which made me pick this 60 day challenge and its just the best. And it's outdoors. 5 stars!"
Charmaine
"Just started with Mike and loving it. The sessions are challenging and Mike modifies activities to suit all levels."
Dave
"Mike mixes up the activities so each session is different. The classes don't become monotonous like some gym classes and the time goes so quickly. The location is great. Lovely sunrises!"
Fiona
"I love bootcamp with Mike! I started last October and have been doing the 6am sessions 3 days a week ever since, rain or shine. Mike makes sure every session is different and pushes us all to work hard and then give a little more. I've lost at least 7kg since I've started and look forward to getting stronger and fitter. Thanks Mike!"
Kathleen
"I stumbled across your program while checking my FB account. I had no plans on doing any exercise (hehe) because I hate going to the gym and being a working mum with two littlies I had no time left in my day. I can make soooo many excuses not to go to the gym and in the past when I have been I encourage myself to do a gentle program or just talk to people around me!
The 60daybtc challenge has been a perfect change for me. I was reluctant at first but when I read some of the testimonials it was good to know that different levels of fitness were encouraged to take part. I don’t think I have done proper exercise for at least 7 years! I also thought that if I’m going to do this then I would jump in the deep end and give it my all. 5 days a week doing the 6am class. I wanted to be healthier and fit for summer and I’m feeling heaps better now. Plus we eat healthier."
Jessica
"I joined up with Mike and the team in September, I knew I was unfit, but didn't realise how bad. I won't lie to you, the first 2 weeks was a painful experience, but as my body got used to it, I noticed the changes. I definitely had more energy, and I also started to shed some serious weight. I didn't really alter my diet too much, perhaps I became a bit more conscious of portion size, but that was all. I completed my first 60 days having lost about 6kg, and immediately signed up till the end of the year. At present, I've lost just over 8kgs, and I look slimmer, and feel great! And I will be signing up to continue on in 2017. Mike is a great motivator, and happy to alter the various exercises to suit (if your carrying an injury, or feel pain). We get regular motivational posts via social media, as well as food prep ideas for healthy meals. Weather doesn't stop us either, there is undercover areas to train under, all you need is the motivation. The great thing is, we all started because we had similar goals, either get fit, lose a few kgs or both. Everyone is super friendly, and help to push each other that little bit. I cannot commend Mike enough, he's such a friendly, easy going bloke. It's a great Bootcamp, just get on it!"
Graeme
"I've been training with Mike on and off for 3 years and I love it. He's warm and welcoming and beyond accommodating. Over the past couple of years I've had a string of injuries, some minor and some major and every time he bends over backwards to make sure I still get the most out of each session and I don't miss out all together. Not only is his training on point his nutrition advice has seen me reach my goals on more than one occasion.
We recently moved house out of the local area but with an upcoming wedding, have just started back training with Mike again despite having to travel 45 mins each morning to get there because I know he can get me the results I need! He's flexible and makes things work around what ever the situation and let's be honest, you couldn't get a nice guy!
"YOU DA MAN!""
Nicole
"I've been with Mike for 2 1/2 years! That's saying something! He works you hard and is really supportive of everyone. He is very patient and we all have a great laugh....when we get a break!! Thanks Mike"
Biz
"Awesome people, amazing support and fun workouts :)"
Sia
"Great training with fantastic people. Mike is a star, knows what he's doing!"
Lucie
"I have been with Michael's 60 day bootcamp challenge for 2 years now and I still groan at the 6am start but once I'm there and meet up with all the friendly faces I'm ready for whatever Mike has in store for us. Every day is different, every day is challenging, always a great way to start the day. Thanks Mike, you are a champion."
Jennifer
"Mike has a great temperament an brings the best out of people with his training."
Simon
"I was a bit nervous signing up for boot camp. My fitness was low and I haven't found it easy to stick to programs before. I needn't have worried. It really doesn't matter what fitness level you are at. Michael and the group are supportive and fun. I love it, and keep coming back for more!"
Narelle
"After recently getting engaged I decided it was time to get fit. The 60 Day Bootcamp Challenge has been fantastic. Not only is the workout a great way to start the day I actually find myself loving getting up early, working up a sweat and training hard with a great group of people.
I was very nervous to begin with, thinking that I was completely unfit and I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the group. However the way Mike has structured each session is that everyone works at their own pace. No one gets left behind and you get a complete body workout – much better than trying to figure out what to do on your own at the gym. And the best part is the value for money! Give it a go… You won’t regret it!"
Melanie
"I was very hesitant starting a 60 day bootcamp challenge because in the past I had joined gyms and never gone. After joining Mike's bootcamps I was pleasantly surprised to see myself attending every session and enjoying watching my body transform by not only losing weight and toning, but by noticing myself improve on my strength and self motivation. The combination of cardio, upper body, legs and core work ensures that all areas of the body are getting a full workout. Thanks for all the effort you put in Mike."
Margot
"I highly recommend Mikes bootcamps. They are addictive and I always have a great workout with a lot of variety and noticeable results. The 6am start means that I can fit my exercise into the day before my children wake and my husband leaves for work. Also, because Mike is such a great guy, I know that if I have had a bad night with the children I can miss my usual session and make it up another day or time. Go on... give it a go!"
Karen
"I remember my first day of Bootcamp….I was exhausted & extremely unfit, but Michael’s encouragement & professionalism kept me going, now on my 3rd Bootcamp Challenge, my fitness improves every day, I’m healthier with lots more energy AND 12kgs lighter!
We work hard but everyone goes at their own pace, there is no competition just a bunch of crazy ones running, jumping & boxing around the park.
Thanks Michael!!!!.... Keep up the great work"
Carlos
"LOVE IT!! Getting a complete body workout in the park with a great bunch of people and an excellent motivator totally BEATS dragging my butt to the gym any day!. I felt like such a slug after my ankle injury but Michael has been really supportive in getting me back on track and providing alternatives for a safe recovery, I still leave exhausted and always super pumped to come back for more!"
Rebecca
"Mike's classes are always challenging and varied. Each session incorporates cardio and weights and focuses on core and legs. He is always encouraging but not over the top and pushes me to get a little more than what I thought I had in the tank. I didnt have weight to lose but I have certainly toned, strenghthened and reshaped in a very short time frame.
The hour is a full hour with no time wasting. I always walk away feeling I've had a great workout!"
Mary
"I've really enjoyed the 60 Day Bootcamp Challenge. As an over-50, the quick return to fitness is great, as is the location and variety. Groups are neither too big nor too small, and the range of people in those groups is diverse enough to be interesting. Highly recommended."
Brad
"The 60 day Bootcamp has such a great variety of different things going on with a trainer that knows his stuff, thanks mike!
It's go go & go! Really enjoying the sessions, it's such a great start for the day ahead & yes l will be returning."
Jo
"I was very nervous about starting Mike's bootcamp as I had never been to one before and I thought that you had to be super fit to keep up. I was very pleasantly surprised at how much I could actually do! I would not have been able to replicate this type of workout on my own.
I acheived improved strength, fitness and tone very quickly. It really is aimed at all fitness levels: Mike ensures that everyone is working safely and to their individual ability.
I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every session in the past 6 months and I don't intend on stopping any time soon."
Sophie
"I find Mike’s Boot Camps are a great way to start the day. The early start is challenging, but I always arrive home feeling great about myself, and that feeling stays with me all day. It’s always a solid workout, with good balance between upper body, legs, aerobic and core. Great friendly bunch of people – great location – and Mike is so positive and encouraging. I would highly recommend these Boot Camps to others."
Bill
"Boot Camp has given me a new found love of exercising, more energy and motivation; I actually look forward to it. Michael is a great instructor, being outdoors is fantastic and its fun! I feel so much better mentally and physically."
Andrea
"I cant believe I am writing a testimonial about anything to do with fitness. But, hey here I am. I joined the 60 day bootcamp group not long before Xmas. I shied away from anything like this before because I considered myself unfit, fat and full of injury’s.
I am so pleased that I joined. I am loving it. The people are all ages shapes and sizes and I really feel that I am holding my own. Everyone is welcoming and friendly. Michael is the best !! He motivates me to do the best that I can. He is mindful of my injuries and adjusts some of the exercises to suit me which is awesome.
I am fitter, I am losing weight, I am pumped !! Thank you Michael I am no longer a couch potato!!"
Lyn
"At first I had to force myself to these Boot Camp sessions but now I really look forward to them. They have great community spirit and are lots of fun. Michael is supportive and encouraging and i feel myself getting stronger each week. They're a great high intensity way of getting my weekly exercise done. Can't recommend them highly enough!"
Tameka
"I love going to bootcamp, I never think "oh crap I have bootcamp tonight", I'm always really excited! Michael keeps me really motivated and everyone there is very friendly and super encouraging! So far through this program I have lost 5.5cm and 3kgs. I am also feeling heaps more energised and I have been starting to feel a lot happier! I feel like just going to bootcamp 3 times a week has also helped my mental health."
Rebecca
"I have loved the 60 day Boot Camp challenge. Mike is an excellent instructor who goes out of his
way to make each session different, interesting and challenging both physically and mentally,
ensuring we do the exercises correctly and within our own physical constraints. I’ve really enjoyed
training outside in the park, seeing the sun come up over the lake, breathing in fresh air and
working out with like minded people who motivate me to do my best. I am fitter and stronger than
when I started and improving every session."
Gina
"I've always loved team sports as I find I feel less like I'm exercising but instead having fun. I was keen to sign up to the 60 day body transformation challenge to see how far I could push myself, but after a few weeks I have found that I am loving it way more than I had expected. I have been meeting new people and having fun the whole time with the added benefit of visible results!"
Rhiannon
"I was quite nervous before my first boot camp session because I never really enjoyed exercising especially in front of other people. However after a few sessions I began to love it and realised it is the perfect, friendly and welcoming environment for those who want to rapidly improve their fitness and meet new people along the way"
Jessiie
"About 6 months ago I received a flyer for the 60 Day Bootcamp Challenge, knowing that I needed to do something about my health and fitness so I decided to take the plunge. The results have been amazing I've gained strength, stamina and even put on weight (5kg, I was an underweight weakling before!). The sessions are fun and Michael always puts a lot of effort into adding in some variety so that every day is different. I'm always amazed at how quickly the hour flys by I've even started enjoying my 6am starts!"
Chris
"Bootcamp is the best way to start the day! Michael changes the program on a daily basis and keeps every class interesting. He has a fabulous knowledge of the body and offers different techniques for every exercise to suit the different requirements of participants. He is motivating and great fun to exercise with...not only do we work hard every session but we have a laugh every day as well. I started going three mornings a week at 6am and have enjoyed it so much I now go five days a week....I have seen great improvement in my strength and cardio fitness and feel great. I would highly recommend this fabulous bootcamp to anyone looking to increase their general fitness and core strength."
Karen
"Michael's bootcamps are a great way to start the day. You feel a bit apprehesive before the start, feel almost exhausted half way through, and feel fantastic every time the hour is over. Michael keeps the pace up through the whole lesson, and makes the exercises fun all the way through. The people are great and everyone supports each other. And the park makes a beautiful backdrop to the whole event - far better than a treadmill in some gym. I've gone from having weak knees and slouching, to standing straight with power in the legs, and my abs are looking great for summer. I probably won't impress any young ladies at the beach, but I feel fine after the bootcamps. And I'll be there in August again. 66, quintuple bypass, barefoot runner and eat like a no-fat vegan."
Paul
"I enjoyed my first 60 Day Bootcamp Challenge so much, I signed up for a 2nd! The outdoor training is great. I feel fit and healthy and we have a lot of fun. If you feel like a challenge, Mike will get you into shape!"
Elizabeth
“I have found the '60 Day BTC Challenge' to be the most fun, fulfilling and affordable way to get into shape. For many years I struggled to commit to an exercise routine and for the first time this group challenge has made me want to give my 100% and reach my level 10. Michael is an excellent and committed coach that makes it a comfortable and enjoyable experience. In only a few short weeks I feel slimmer, stronger, and more fitter than ever.”
Cathy
"At the age of 61, I was somewhat apprehensive in joining a Box-Fit Bootcamp 60 Day Challenge. I didn’t know whether I would fit in or whether I would be able to keep up. After my first session, I was exhausted and exhilarated yet looked forward to the next class. After 12 weeks (2 x one hour sessions per week), I have lost 7kg and 32cm overall. I had no reason to be concerned about my age or fitness level. The other participants are so encouraging, I have never felt in the least out of place and Michael, as the Trainer, is cognisant of everyone’s level of ability and tailors his classes to suit. As a bonus, when I am told “you are looking terrific”, I know I’m on the right course."
Prudence
"6-7am bootcamp has been fantastic - the sessions are really well structured; by Thursday when you've done 3 bootcamps per week you know every part of your body has had a proper decent workout! Great value for money so much so I'm on my second round of the 60 day challenge. If you want your fitness to improve and help/support with nutrition sign up asap!"
Anna
“Feeling great that I joined the BTC. Love the workouts on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Gets hard at times but Mike is a great trainer. Very helpful and lots of fun. Definitely feel my stamina improving. Can't wait to resume next year"
Rochelle
“I have trained with Michael for the last 2 months and he has drastically changed the way I view exercising and diet and demonstrated first-hand the benefits and results of weight training and core exercise. I hated exercise before and loved the couch. The improvement in both my strength and fitness has been amazing. I first started doing 60 day challenge bootcamp with him as this is finish now, I am now doing PT with him which I really enjoy. Michael is very professional, motivated and leads by example. He is very knowledgeable and gave me lots of advice on how to change my lifestyle to a healthier one. Training with Michael is challenging but heaps of fun. I am much happier in myself now. I look forward to training and love the feeling when the hour is up! If you want results I truly highly recommend Michael to anyone at any level to start training with him.”
Nicole
“While seeing the advertisement for Bootcamp initially, I felt some fear around joining anything where there may be competition. However pushing past that fear I found training outside to be exhilarating and a reminder of childhood, playing outside after school. Yes there has been some competition during Bootcamp including participation by our coach with lots of humour and positive reinforcement.
The combination of nutritional advice and focus on challenging area's of our bodies is refreshing feeling the changes physically, mentally and emotionally.
I am achieving great results and feel this is due to the unique training style of a coach who knows that variety keeps people motivated, humour lightens the effort of it all and the camaraderie of the group as a whole.
This is the most fun exercise I have ever done and the changes in eating habits will be for life because they are easy and satiating. Herbalife products have also had a major part to play in supporting the goals within nutrition and I now feel after taking the multi three times per day that it is helping sustain my energy levels really well.
Micheal you are a testament to what an entreprenerial spirit can achieve with forward thinking and an amazing personality!
Thankyou for making my year infinately more exciting and helping me to achieve my personal goals”
Susan
"The group training sessions made me push myself harder and I loved the results I gained from it"
Laura
“Outstanding Bootcamp sessions with Michael as leader who is simply the perfect mixture of motivation, understanding, Bootcamp "Sergeant" with humour! Highly recommend to anyone of any age who wishes to be healthier, more energetic and lose weight! I really look forward to my Bootcamp days - best in week!”
Lynne
“I've found the 60 day body challenge to be fantastic in helping me achieve increased fitness levels. I am far more motivated if I exercise with others but to achieve your goals you need to do more in your own time than just the two days which is what Michael recommends. The BTC provides a support group to help you stay motivated and meet new people.”
Christine
“A huge thank you to Michael for being nothing but inspirational, motivating & supportive. Your training has made a huge difference to my wellbeing & the sessions are always fun with some laughs thrown in too!”
