The Boot Camp you’ve been waiting for in Diamond Harbour!
Who are outdoor fitness Boot Camps for?
• For guys and girls aged 18 – 55 typically who want fitness results fast.
• For people like you wanting to kick start your training to get the body back in shape.
• For people fed up with sterile gym environments.
• For people who want functional strength, toughness and agility.
• For people fed up trying to look good and instead have decided to get fit and look good in what ever they wear!
• Our programs are ideal for weight loss, improved health and wellness.
When and where are the sessions?
We use various locations throughout Diamond Harbour to keep you entertained and challenged. Expect to work out in beautiful parks, on the beach, in the forest and on the hills. We generally meet at Mike’s house in Stoddart Terrace. The sessions are at 6.30am which gives everybody the time they need to do the sessions and still get to work on time. Its an early start but people often report how energised they feel for the entire day! We train on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
How do you cater for all fitness abilities?
Our Boot Camp is tailored to meet the fitness abilities of those attending, but what ever your level expect to work hard, very hard. The exercise program takes account of each individuals strength, speed and stamina by varying workload accordingly. To make sure that we match the training specifically to your needs we conduct fitness assessments periodically.
What’s included in the Boot Camp package?
3 training sessions per week.
Some great training buddies.
Regular fitness assessments.
Optional weekend adventures.

Comments from past Boot Camp Veterans
I used to run Boot Camps for Get Me Fit in Christchurch and the photos and testimonials below are from there. Please note some of these people have done our Boot Camp every year since we started!
“Completing the Boot Camp gave me an amazing sense of achievement and has given me more confidence and determination to push myself harder in regular training sessions and in other activities. On a recent tramping club trip after the Boot Camp I opted to go with the fast group for the first time and easily kept up the pace and enjoyed it! I knocked half a minute off the 1500m run in the fitness assessment and lost another 2.5kg making a grand total of 15kg in a year with GMF!” Mary Hines
“I’m really glad I went! From the very first session I felt relaxed with the instructors ….. there is plenty of encouragement and positive motivation”. Kathryn – Christchurch
“I love the varied nature of each session and the beautiful surroundings, beats the inside of a gym any day. The Boot Camp allows me to work to and beyond my self imposed limits in a positive team environment. It is now my favourite way to get and stay fit.” Craig – Christchurch
“The Boot Camp was an amazing and rewarding experience. Extremely challenging sessions combined with different locations and training variety ensured you never knew what to expect. The team environment and supportive nature of everyone was overwhelming. A great way to get fitter and stretch your boundaries both mentally and physically.” Bec Morris
“Having the guts to join the Boot Camp is one of the best decisions I have made. After every session I come away feeling motivated about life, with a greater admiration for what my body can do, as well as a greater confidence within myself. Give it a go, you’ll never look back!” Georgina – Christchurch
“The Boot Camp developed me physically but more importantly challenged me psychologically and has removed some of the mental limitations that were holding me back.” Tim Driver
“…… Great challenge to start the day off …… getting up in the morning is so much easier now and I have the energy to keep going all day long ……. working as one close team is awesome … I have really enjoyed the Boot Camp sessions ….. the intensity is spot on: tailored to the group with a good balance of team and individual competitive activities …. the diverse environments and equipment add a little excitement to the proceedings and keep things interesting …. as for press-ups in the sea … genius! – something I certainly would not have attempted on my own, it has made me question my own sanity! … the organisation and leadership in the sessions has been outstanding. Together with attention on my dietary intake, the over-all results are obvious and include:
1. Heightened alertness and mental stamina – I am now raring to go – goodbye lethargy!
2. A notable increase in my cardiovascular fitness, strength and stamina.
3. Increasing in my general level of confidence, a go out and grab life by the balls mentality.
4. A sense of achievement and generally feeling like I am on top of the world!”
Dr Hadley Watson – Christchurch
I receive a great deal of emails each week. At least once a week we receive an email that keeps us doing what we do. This is one such email:
Hi Mike,
Just emailing to share our success with you! We took part in our tramping club annual duathlon event yesterday (in pouring rain). We cycled about 35km from sign of kiwi to the road end of Kaituna valley road via Gebbes, then walked/ran up to Packhorse hut and out to Gebbes pass road again, back on bikes and down to Governors bay hotel (about 55km in total). Last year we took 4 hr 10min (me) and 3 hrs 40min (Tim). This year we did it in 3 hr 37min (me) and 3hr 5 min (Tim) but the amazing this is that Tim won the individual men’s event and I won the individual women’s event! Everyone who took part was quite amazed at our improvement in a year and of course we have been telling everyone that it’s down to Get Me Fit! Thanks guys! Cheers. Mary & Tim
