FAQs
What will I get out of Boot Camp?
Dramatic improvements in your well being and self confidence, you will increase your strength and endurance, you will see the difference in the mirror; loss of inches and a firmer body. You will feel more energised and motivated to carry on. You will receive motivation, coaching and nutritional advice to help you succeed on your own. Some girls are losing as much as 20 inches in 4 weeks!! Why not read the testimonials.
Can I come along for a free trial session?
Yeah, It depends on how busy we are. Call 07954604684 to arrange.
What should I wear?
Please, please, please no leotards or spandex. You will need a good pair of trainers as you will be running or power walking and comfortable socks. Depending on the weather you will need shorts or comfortable bottoms. Vest, t-shirt or jumper. In extreme weather you may want to bring a hat, gloves and waterproof jacket. You may want to bring a towel. I advise all women to wear a good supportive sports bra; we want to lift things up not drag them down! No Lippy Boot Camp clothing is available to purchase.
Will I be sore?
Good question. Most people feel a little sore for the first 2-3 days, hopefully after that you won’t be too sore. Its part of the process and lets you improve. Don’t focus on the discomfort, focus on the fact that your body is responding and getting results. Unfortunately I use the saying ‘No Pain, No Gain’ on a regular basis because it works. If changing your body shape was so easy we would all look like Kylie!! Remember girls….. Pain goes away……Glory lasts forever!!!
How soon will I see results?
Remember everyone is different. Most people will see performance improvements within 3 days, visual improvements can take up to 4 weeks depending on your effort level. Feeling better is the first step to look for, performance second then visual improvements will follow.

What if I don’t lose any weight or inches?
I will be surprised if you don’t, however everyone is different. If you don’t see the difference on the scales you will definitely see the difference in the mirror and feel the difference. Remember; you will gain muscle which is great as this helps you burn more fat!!
What type of drink should I bring to Boot camp?
Water is the best fluid to drink before, during and after exercise. Please bring a very small water bottle with you as you may need to carry this around while you are moving. Running water bottles are best.
I am 4 stone overweight, can I still participate?
Yes you can, my expertise will ensure you are working at your level, competing against yourself. You will start at one level and by the end you will be at a different level.
I have had a few health problems over the past 4 years, can I still participate?
I will need to assess these heath issues with you before you can enrol. In most cases the answer is yes, however there are some circumstances when the answer will unfortunately be no, but maybe in the future.
I am 5 months pregnant, can I participate?
If you are an advanced athlete who has trained throughout her pregnancy the answer is yes, however if you are new to exercise the answer is no. You will need to wait until you have your 6 weeks check-up after giving birth. Once you are given the all clear from your doctor and midwife, give me a call.
Why is your Boot Camp Ladies only?
Good question...a few different reasons; Men and women are very different and should be trained differently; a size 16 women should not be doing the same as a stong man in his 20's!!!! By specialising in ladies only i can ensure you receive great results and not waist your time. Another reason is that we talk about and give advice on subjects that men would not understand or want to know....problems after child birth, sore nipples, inner thigh sores etc. All the instructors are female too to ensure you always feel at ease talking about female problems.
Can I buy a session card for my partner?
Yes, there are vouchers available for Christmas and other occasions.
Can I do extra training on my days off from Boot Camp?
Yes, the more exercise you do the better. Remember; ensure you have 2 days off per week. Everyone needs time for their body to rest, repair and improve.
What do you do with my personal information?
All the information you provide will be held in the strictest confidence. This information is for my own use to benefit you. Your information will not be passed on to a 3rd party unless requested by law.
Do I have to get weighed at the start of the course?
No. This is optional. This is for anyone how wants to lose a certain amount of weight. The most important aspect is your measurements and how your clothes feel.
I already eat well, I want to improve my fitness levels and take my training to another level, not join a weight loss club. Do I need to follow the Structured Eating Plan?
No. Once again this is optional. Boot Camp will be made up of a mixture of abilities and reasons for participating. If you are happy with your current diet that’s great, keep it going. Your reason for participating is great and challenging for me. I look forward to it.
I participate on an evening; can I change some sessions to an early session as I have children and I work shifts?
Yes. You can do any sessions at any venue. I have tried to make the sessions as flexible as possible; I am a mam of two so i know what its like!!!
I can only participate in 1 session per week. Will I still see results?
Yes, you will still see results. It will take longer though. You will be encouraged to concentrate on the structured eating plan and work as hard as you can. Its not only about the calories you burn during your session; you will burn more calories whilst resting if you have participated in just 1 session.
What will a typical session at Boot Camp be like?
It’s difficult to say, since every session is different. You can expect light running, cardio intervals, using your own body weight, weight training, obstacle courses, core training, hill training, races, games and boxing. You will never be bored!
What if its raining, will we still be exercising outside?
Yes, you will still be outside when the weather is bad. Jarrow, Gateshead Stadium and Chester Le Street have a large hall to use when necessary. Jarrow, Gateshead and Chester le Street have shower facilities to use. Invest in a good waterproof jacket, hat and gloves. No Lippy Boot Camp clothing range is available to purchase.
What’s the structured eating plan; it’s not a soup diet is it?
Not at all. It’s not even a diet, it’s a structured healthy eating plan designed to promote fat loss and muscle gain (tone), resulting in a leaner, healthier and fitter body. It should be used as a long term healthy eating plan. You are not eliminating food groups or your favourite food, you are only limiting them. If you are anything like me; if someone tells me not to eat it, I want 10 of them!! I disagree with these 2 week diets or Atkins diet as the weight always goes straight back on with extra, these type of diets are also unhealthy and dangerous. You will also receive handy tips on how to burn extra calories and what food to eat when eating out or eating take aways. You will be provided with a login once you have paid for your couse to access this diet.
