A limit must be placed on the participants to ensure the proper attention is given to each individual. This way everyone is able to stay on task and focused.

TIP 2. You must find out how encouraging or how intimidating you want your instructor to be, according to your goals and your personal flexibility. Some boot camps have instructors who have military backgrounds and take somewhat of a “hardcore” approach. The newest trend of boot camps has little or no military regimen but takes more of an energetic and fun personal training approach. Both however are a sure fire way to get results.

TIP 3. A highly regarded bootcamp should be instructed by a qualified fitness professional or personal trainer with appropriate certification and or a relevant college degree. A private fitness assessment as well as medical clearance should be mandatory. This time allows you the opportunity to ask the instructor any questions, and address any concerns before beginning.

TIP 4. A high-quality bootcamp trainer should answer all of your questions and by no means ask you to ignore bodily pains or injuries.

Make sure you have plenty of time before or after your trial sessions to talk to others. If you don’t feel comfortable doing this, pay close attention and listen carefully during the class to get a feel for things and quickly determine if the particular boot camp will be a good fit for you.
