This document summarizes a six-week community boot camp program that provides a variety of physical activities to suit all ages and abilities with the goal of helping participants stay healthy. It involves a weekly schedule of activities led by experienced tutors and volunteers, as well as health information events. Participants are randomly assigned to teams and can earn points for their team by attending activities. Weights are recorded weekly and the team with the greatest combination of activity hours and weight loss after six weeks wins. The cost is £10 or £15 per week depending on if joining alone or with a friend.

1. Community
Boot Camp
What is it?
This exciting six week initiative provides a structured programme of activities to
suit all ages and abilities. Whether you are looking to try new activities, be
motivated by others, lose weight or just stay healthy, then this is the
perfect opportunity for you!
What does it involve?
Participants receive a weekly timetable of activities, each led by a team of
experienced tutors and local volunteers. A broad range of activities to suit
everyone will be in place at different times on each day. There will also be a
number of health information events to provide advice and guidance on developing
a healthier lifestyle. So whether it is a light walk, jogging, aerobics, football, pilates,
cycling, circuits or gym session to name a few, there is something for everyone
– all in the company of other people!
How does it work?
(1) Participants will be randomly put into teams, which they will remain in for the
duration of the programme. Each team will look to motivate each other and
encourage as much participation in the activities.
(2) Individuals will earn points for their team by attending activities. On each
consecutive Monday night participants will be weighed. Weights will be
recorded and only the cumulative weight loss (we hope!) for each team will be
publicised on a weekly basis. Individual weights will not be made public
at any stage.
(3) After the end of six weeks, the activity hours and weight loss totals will be
combined. The team, whose combination of activity hours and weight loss is
greatest, will be deemed the winning team.

2. Things to consider
Written consent will be requested from each participant in advance of starting this
programme. If you have any concerns about participating in any form of physical
exercise, please consult a medical professional before considering this programme.
This programme is not solely about losing weight, but is also about creating an
active and healthy lifestyle which hopefully can be sustained in the longer term.
Whilst you are encouraged to attend as many activities in each week, you are also
advised to take opportunities to rest and recover if required.
