PROGRAMS

Three ways to start

Pick based on the time and equipment you actually have, not on which one sounds hardest.

BEGINNER

Beginner Bootcamp

Bodyweight-only circuits at a pace built for someone who hasn't trained regularly in a while. No equipment, 20-minute sessions, three days a week.

Full program →

HIGH INTENSITY

HIIT Bootcamp

Short work intervals at high effort, followed by short rest, repeated in rounds. Higher cardio demand than the beginner program, still bodyweight-friendly.

OUTDOOR

Outdoor Bootcamp

Park-bench step-ups, sprint intervals, and group-friendly circuits designed for open space instead of a gym floor.

EQUIPMENT TO START

Common questions

Do I need equipment for a bootcamp workout?

No. The beginner and most HIIT bootcamp formats are built around bodyweight moves: squats, push-ups, lunges, planks. Equipment like dumbbells or a jump rope adds variety later, it isn't a requirement to start.

How often should I do bootcamp workouts?

Three sessions a week with a rest or light-activity day between each is a common starting cadence. It's enough to build a habit and recover between sessions without burning out in the first two weeks.

Is bodyweight training enough to build strength?

For a beginner to intermediate level, yes. Bodyweight exercises can build real strength and conditioning; added resistance becomes more useful once bodyweight versions stop feeling challenging.
