FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Do I have to be in good shape to train at Boot Camp?
No, not at all. Boot Camp suits everyone regardless of their physical condition. The instructors push everyone to their personal limit so each individual will get the maximum result from his training without overdoing himself. See our course directory to see which courses are available.

What are the workouts like?
Boot Camp’s main strength lies in its variety of training methods where no two workouts are the same. Diverse exercises that combine strength training, aerobic and anaerobic training will get you in your best possible overall shape.

How often do I train at Boot Camp per week?
Each group has three, 1 hour long sessions per week. Every other week there is a special two-hour workout session which takes place outdoors. Boot Camp also has running, swimming and hiking groups that get together once a week for additional training. We also have a facility with a weight lifting room, rowing machines etc which you can use during opening hours. Our instructors are always willing to assist you in setting up workouts for any additional training you might want to do. But for most people, the 3-4 Boot Camp classes per week should be sufficient.

Which results can I expect in Boot Camp?
People's results are as different as their objectives. Some people want to lose weight and decrease their body fat percentage while others seek to gain muscle weight or simply improve their physical condition. You will notice much improvement in your stamina, strength, mobility and overall fitness. In addition to your physical results you will increase your confidence and self-discipline as well as adopting a healthier lifestyle.

I have an injury. Does that mean I can't attend Boot Camp classes?
Not at all. Our instructors are trained in adapting the workouts to any special needs you might have. If you can't do some of our exercises our instructors will have alternative exercises ready for you instead. Just remember to keep our instructors informed of any illnesses or injuries you might have so that we can take them into consideration and be careful not to make them worse.

What makes Boot Camp unique?
Boot Camp has opened up a new way of training in Iceland and has gained much respect over the years. Many people who simply don't want to work out at a crowded gym have found that Boot Camp perfectly suited to their needs, as the training is more personalized, personal and more fun. All of our instructors have completed a specialized instructor course at Boot Camp and hold certificates to verify their license. Many copycat courses have tried to imitate Boot Camp but none have succeeded. Try a session and you will feel the difference.

What do I need to bring to the training sessions?
All you need is comfortable training gear and good workout shoes. We recommend that you bring a proper outfit, just in case a part of the session takes place outdoors. During outdoor workouts, always dress accordingly. When you start a 6 week course, you get a Boot Camp water bottle which we encourage you to bring to each session. And don't forget your positive mindset and iron will to make it through the workouts.

I want to start right away but the next course is weeks away. Do I have to wait until a new one starts?
No. Even though the courses start at a specific date, special arrangements can be made for you to start right away. Contact us for more information.
