The truth is, It's very difficult to keep your sessions consistently amazing week after week, month after month. Even if you can, it's going to steal your time and leave you mentally exhausted. This is where the Workout Design Club comes in.

Here's what group trainer Sharon Jackson had to say.

"Hi Leon! The Workout Design Club is awesome and I love how it puts the "fun" in the workouts. You're bootcamp drills are so creative! Thank you and where can I write a testimonial for you?"

See, although the WDC is designed to save you a lot of time and stress, and give you the tools to stand out as uniquely different from the competition (so you get more clients). It's also for YOU! So you can have more fun doing what you love.

Here's whats new

Carry On Soldier: Crossed between a traditional circuit training workout and a triple tired circuit, this tough bootcamp challenge is design to work the entire body with a wide range of bootcamp exercises. Don’t be fooled by its simplicity, it’s a killer.

Hero Zero: In this fun bootcamp game, points are the enemy as players try in vain to ditch them. It’s fun, fast and chaotic. Best of all, there are so many bootcamp warm up games you can create using this simple bootcamp finisher.

Donkey Kong: Based on the popular kids computer game, players compete against Kong in a series of bootcamp warm up games. With time against them, it will take some doing to destroy Kong, which can only be achieved as a team.

I Am Monster: Aka the ultimate HIIT circuit training workout. Set over 4 rounds, this very tough 50 minute challenge gets progressively harder as time goes on. The will to succeed is the only thing that can get you through it. Expect to burn an insane number of calories.

Damage Control: An EMOM (every minute on the minute) like you have never seen it. In this tough 20 minute EMOM workout, the goal is to keep a set pace or risk being demoted. You'll get lots of bootcamp class ideas from this one.

Hopper Looper: You’ll need 2 hula hoops to play these fun bootcamp games. I can promise you it will be well worth is. Set over 5 rounds, teams battle for top place in the hula championships. 

Special Forces HIIT: In this 30 minute full body workout, players are tasked with completing 3 unique HIT workouts designed to designed to build strength and cardiovascular endurance. This workout concept can also be turned in to a series of fun bootcamp warm up games with a little tweak. 

Triple Switch Devil: In this quirky partner workout, if either player slacks off the work load becomes greater. It’s a such a great way to get players working hard and burning a ton of calories in a fun environment. 

Art of War: I have designed hundreds of bootcamp warm up games but this is by far the most exciting. In this extremely fast paced team building game designed to test agility and reaction time, players are at war as they fire back and forth to destroy each other.

Combat Cardio: The fun is this bootcamp game comes from its unpredictability as players battle to keep their lives intact. You just never know what might happen, or who will win. This is also a great warm up game for kids in you train them.

Big Fat Burner Relay: Another fun packed team game designed to improve cardiovascular endurance and agility. It’s a very deceiving game because it starts off to easy. But as you’ll see, it’s anything but. May the best team win.

Go Go Snickers: Incase you missed last weeks WDC update here it is. It's filled with all different types of outdoor bootcamp warm up games and fun bootcamp ideas I think your clients will love. 

Resurrection Hero: These are not just warm up games and challenges for adults. If you train kids they will work just as well. Just be sure to modify the exercises.

Fast Furious: This is arguably the best educational bootcamp game you will see this year. Not only is it super fun, but it’s super tough at the same time. It’s one of those warm up games that will be talked about for years to come.

Toilet Tag: In this thrilling warm up game designed around speed and agility, players are allowed to re-spawn 3 times before they are completely destroyed. The last player standing wins.

Super Mario Kart: Dubbed the ultimate relay game, players are required to make small contributions in order to keep the main activity flowing. The team that finds the best rhythm will likely win. 

Chaos Switch: A simple tag game that you can use to start or finish any bootcamp workout in style. It’s fun, fast and a lot harder than it sounds. May the best team win. If you're a teacher this is a great warm up game for P.E.

Super Crush: In this exciting warm up game there are not enough coins to go around as players battle through 10 rounds of unpredictability. For some it will be for nothing, and for other it will be for glory.

Countdown: Based on the popular UK TV programme countdown, teams work together to create words. Cleverly fused with a series of Tabata protocols, it’s a hard as it is fun. You can make tons of different bootcamp warm up games and drills using this exciting concept. 

Battle Matrix: In this super fun team game you can only win the top prize by drawing with your opponents. Expect lots of laughs and giggles with this one.

Square Density: In this high energy warm up workout, players react as quickly as they can to series of simple commands. It sounds easy but when you’re physically stuck together it’s a completely different story.

Switch Killers: Switch killers is a very tough HIIT challenge set over 50 continuous rounds. As the challenge goes’ on players are given to the power to build their own workout. Giving your clients this type of power is highly motivating and will spar them on to the finish line.

Bullet Train: In this endurance based fitness test, players are tasked with completing 10 random rounds for time. 100% effort is required to complete this challenge. 

Last week I read that a Canadian woman set a new world record by holding the plank exercise for a staggering 4 hour's and 20 minutes. The mens record is even longer at over 8 hours.

I literally can't think of anything more tedious, well, apart from watching paint dry. I mean just think of the training involved. At absolute max I could probably do 7 minutes, possibly 8 if I had a gun to my head.

How about you? At the end of the day. "If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you". So I get why people do this sort of stuff. 

Anyway!

A workout idea popped in to my head when I read the article, so if you like the plank exercise, this is for you. Or you can use it with your clients. 

Like most toddlers, our daughter is obsessed with Peppa Pig. In fact, I must have seen every episode at least 100 times. In yesterdays episode Peppa was at a birthday party playing kids games. 2 of which stood out as being potential ideas to build  fun bootcamp warm up games around.

1. Musical statues
2. Pass the parcel

What do you think? Today I created a new group workout idea called Statues Supreme, which is my take on musical statues, but without the music. It's a very very funny game that I guarantee will have your clients in stitches.

Go and put todays awesome bootcamp ideas to the test.

This week we took Alba toy shopping. Once she saw the pool noodles that was it. She was infatuated. I can see lot's of potential creating bootcamp warm up games around these noodles.

• Tag games
• Hurdles
• Whack a mole
• Agility drills
• Reaction drills
• Relay races
• Etc

Or how about the Grand National (horse racing event UK). AWESOME!

The team game I came up with is called Totally Noodled. In this fun 12 minute HIIT workout, the more effort your opponent put's in, the harder it gets for you.

It's a very cool bootcamp game I guarantee your clients will absolutely love. If you're a Workout Design Club member please login and type Totally Noodled in to the search engine.

I was down the Chinese shop buying my light bulbs (as you do) when I noticed a couple of games in the kids section.

• Top trumps
• Ludo
• Dominoes
• Uno
• Connect 4
• Chess
• Snakes and ladders
• Jenga

And a full on Bingo set.

All great inspiration for getting creative with your bootamp workouts. Yesterday I received an email from a group trainer asking for advice on how to create/structure new workouts for her group.

Part of her email reads..

"Trying to come up with new stuff all the time is a massive drainer"

It's so true isn't it? The reality is, if you want to stand out and attract more clients, you've got to bring something fresh and new to your local community.

I can't stress that enough. This means talking the time to create your own unique bootcamp ideas, or short cutting the process by joining the WDC.

I want you to think about it this way. I can almost guarantee that most of the fitness trainers in your area rely exclusively on Google/Social media for free workout ideas.

Here's why thats a bad idea.

What they're really doing (without realising) is blending in and making it almost impossible for themselves to get noticed. It's like if you have 100 restaurants in your area but one of them has 3 Michelin stars.

Which is going to get more attention? Exactly!

When you start using the Workout Design Club you're going to see a huge shift in how people perceive your bootcamp. That's a promise.
