“I have been unhappy with my weight for a quite a few years now despite trying various diets and at the start of this summer I was the heaviest I've ever been.
I have been attending Sally's Blackheath Bootcamp since the start of 2019 and I've enjoyed improving my strength and my fitness so when she suggested trying a summer shred, I happily signed up as my diet definitely needed to change.
Taking part in the summer shred is the best decision I've made for myself for a long time. I surprised myself at the weight I've lost and importantly I've done it healthily. I learned about calorie counting and using this correctly meant I could still enjoy my social life at the weekend (no-one wants to give up beer and wine!). Sally is so supportive, regularly checking in and advising me, and having a weekly weigh in with her gave me the focus to keep going. The other people taking part were so encouraging, which often made a tough day a lot easier. I've also tried out a lot of new healthy recipes from sharing food ideas!
I've still got a bit of work to do which is why I'll be taking part in the festive shred starting in October, and I highly recommend anyone who wants to lose weight, improve their diet and discover a lot of new fun exercises to sign up!”
RESULT - Kitsty has lost 5.7kg in weight, 9.5cm off her waist, 6cm off her hips and 2cm off her thighs

“I am so glad I signed up for Summer Shred. I’ve lost weight in the past, but always managed to put it back on again but with this plan I feel like I’ve learned a lot about my eating habits and now to maintain a healthier lifestyle without depriving myself of the things l love. It encouraged me to get create with food again and fall back in love with making my own food and recipes.
I lost 7.1kg but I gained so much more in other ways - confidence, motivation and friends!
The support you get from everyone else on the plan is amazing and the exercise is fun and challenging.
Sally is such a great motivator and teacher and she always has time for everyone on the plan and in class.”

“Before I joined Blackheath Bootcamp, I was stuck in a bit of a rut - working a lot, feeling constantly tired, spending my evenings in front of the TV, not really taking care of myself - but you made me fall in love with exercise (and my body!) again.
The Summer Shred food plan has been so easy to follow and the bootcamp sessions are always varied and fun. You place massive importance on making sure everyone enjoys their exercise, which has completely transformed my attitude to fitness. I once thought of exercise as a chore, but now I genuinely look forward to each class. The workouts are challenging but you can take it at your own pace and it’s all about pushing yourself, exploring your own body’s limits and simply ‘having a go’. The friendly support from everyone in the group has been brilliant in helping me stay on track and, from day one, I was made to feel part of the squad.
I just kept turning up and trying things out and it wasn’t long before I saw improvements in my body shape and physical strength. Not only has the Summer Shred helped me to lose 6kg but I’ve also gained renewed confidence and motivation! I now feel fitter, stronger and much happier with my body. Thank you!”
