I did one of these once. I thought I was going to die or throw up. Or die then throw up. Then they made me continue. Then I nearly died. Then I woke up the next morning and thought I was actually dead. But then I realised that as I felt every single muscle in my body and they all felt like they were on fire then I must still be alive and was being tortured instead.
Good luck though! |

I've taken part in bootcamp style exercise classes when I worked withthe military, they are fully qualified & if you throw up, then so be it, they will not laugh, but they will push you further when you think that you can't do anymore. And it doesn't matter how big you are I'm sure you will be welcomed & they will work with you to get the weight off & fitter.
Good luck Honey, go & prove to yourself you can do it but be prepared to ache in places you never knew existed.  |

No you won't. It should cater for all fitness levels, and as long as you push yourself to the best of your own ability. you will benefit from it. Why not check if they do a beginner's class.
And don't worry about being sick, just means your giving it ya all  |

"Maybe you could start with walking lots first and build up your strength and stamina then go to boot camp. "
i already walk and run, am doing a couch to 5k programme but for serious weight loss and blood sugar control i need to up my exercise levels |

if they laugh at you when you throw up that would be the warning sign to leave the camp and not return
the coaches job is to build your confidence and fitness and not take the piss
why dont you start with walking, then walking faster, then further before you do a camp and that way it wont come as such a huge shock |
