NAME: Sam Williams AGE: 37 DATE: 27th March to 3rd April DATE: 4th September – 11th September COURSE: Women’s residential boot camp, Devon "I lost 7 pounds and 10.5 inches then a further 6 pounds and 10 inches on my second camp!"

Well for any of you who are thinking of booking a boot camp stop thinking and do it!!!...I have been on two now and the experience tops all my other holidays except maybe my first holiday to Benidorm when I was 16 and that is because that was just my first adventure abroad without my mum and dad!!

During my first stay I managed to lose half a stone which was how much I wanted to loose and 10 half inches which was way more important than the weight.

My confidence grew and by the end of the week I felt capable of anything... this camp is not about targeting one level of client it caters for the fit, the fitter and the "never seen a gym or running shoes before". The trainers are all highly experienced and know how to push you to reach your own personal best, always encourage you and correct the training so it is suitable for all levels.

Chef, well if I could have taken him home I would, the food was gorgeous, each day was a different flavour...he spent time talking to the group and answered our questions on how to cook what to eat etc... it was fantastic and very interesting how wrong many of the diets we all try are.

We had a session with a nutritionist...and also had talks on eating behaviour, why we pick the wrong things and emotional always seems to be top of the list...this camp was the whole package: training, fun, knowledge, education, CHANGE, great food, great support and friendship...wow to be in a group of women all working together, encouraging and cheering you on...doesn't often happen in my office!!

I loved it!
