Q: Location of camp?

A: All meeting times and transport information will be given to
you in your confirmation letter upon booking.
Q: What time do we start on the first day
and finish on the last day?
A: Training will start in the afternoon of the first day. You will
need to spend the morning travelling to the venue so you will need
to allocate the entire day. On return we will be organising a drop
off at around midday as the morning will be taken up with Personal
Training sessions and your weigh in.
Q: What do I need to bring with me?
A: An entire kit list will be supplied upon booking. Mobile phones
are permitted. However, you will only be able to use them in your
free time.

I want to?
A: We would need a written explanation of why you wish to change
dates and only in extreme circumstances will we allow this.
Q: What payment method do you use?
A: We ask for a 30% deposit upon booking to secure your place and
the balance is to be paid 6 weeks before you go. Credit / debit
cards, cheques and BACS payments are accepted.
Q: What is your cancellations policy?
A: Should you wish to cancel, cancellation charges (see terms and
conditions) will be imposed. However, we do appreciate that sometimes-unforeseen
circumstances can arise and as long as we can fill your place then
we will move your booking to the next mutually available date.
Q: What equipment
do you supply?
A: We will supply all exercise equipment that you will be using.
Q: Can I do two weeks?
A: We only offer our boot camps on a one week basis. GI
Jane Boot Camp work on a lifestyle changing basis and hope
that people can adapt exercises to their everyday routine to promote
longevity in a healthy lifestyle. You are able to book on more than
one course provided you have at least a one month gap and in some
cases a doctor’s note is required.
Q: Am I fit enough / too over weight?
A: We take all levels of fitness and weights. At GI Jane
Boot Camp you will be working to your own full capacity
as opposed to trying to keep up with the fittest or being slowed
down by the weakest.
(Please note you will be pushed to your limit).
Q: Do you allow underweight clients on
the GI Jane Boot Camp?
A: We do have to ensure that we do not take any clients that could
even have the potential of leaving GI Jane Boot Camp
UNDER weight.
Q: What if I have
a medical problem / allergies?
A: We ask that you get a letter signed by your doctor to say that
he is happy for you to attend GI Jane Boot Camp
and that you make us clearly aware when you fill out your medical
form so that we can adapt the menu/program to adhere to your individual
requirements.
Q: If I am Type 1 Diabetic can I attend
GI Jane Boot Camp?
A: It is recommended that carbohydrates are the majority source
of dietary intake for a person with type I and type II diabetes.
This is to maintain energy levels and help regulate insulin levels.
The GI Jane Boot Camp diet has very little carbohydrate
content. For a person with diabetes, this would mean that your blood
sugar levels would constantly be lower than normal. Although physical
activity is recommended to help control diabetes, it needs to be
a controlled amount closely linked to the dietary intake. Aerobic
exercise lowers blood sugar levels, and with resistance training,
although an increase is seen to start with a dramatic drop can occur
post exercise. The intense physical activity included in the GI
Jane Boot Camp program could cause problems to those with
diabetes. With the increase in activity compared to normal - more
carbohydrates will be needed in the diet to regulate blood sugar
levels. Therefore, there would be an increased risk of hypoglycemia.
This would mean that a form of glucose would be needed on regular
occasions to prevent this which is not available on the GI
Jane Boot Camp eating plan.
We can adapt the diet if you are looking to come for fitness rather
than weight loss but this would need to be discussed and agreed
prior to your attendance.
Q: Will I drop a dress size / what’s
your average weight loss?
A: Whilst you could drop a dress size, everyone’s weight loss
will depend on their height, weight, BMI and how physically active
they already are. If you put in the effort while you are attending,
you will see a significant loss in weight and inches.
Q: Will there be nutrition advice at GI
Jane Boot Camp?
A: Yes. They will be there to help educate you on healthy eating
and the logic/science behind the GI Jane Boot Camp
nutrition plan.
Q: How do I book?
A: You can contact a member of the team at our head office who will
be more than happy to take your booking over the phone on 0208
301 4353 or you can book online @ www.gijane.bootcamp.co.uk.
Q: Is smoking allowed at GI Jane Boot
Camp?
A: You will be able to have cigarettes outside in the designated
smoking areas in your down time in the evenings.
Q: Can I share with a stranger if I’m
coming on my own?
The majority of our clients share rooms with clients they have not
met before GI Jane Boot Camp, other clients share
rooms with friends that are attending with them. Whilst others opt
for a single room. It is entirely down to personal preference.
Q: Is our fitness assessed when
we arrive?
A: Your fitness will be assessed by our trainers at the beginning
of GI Jane Boot Camp.
