Paramount Boot Camp Weekly Sessions

The Paramount Boot Camp is not designed to be a walk in the park. The sessions planned over the 5 week period, are both challenging but realistic, regardless of your existing levels of fitness.

Each session has been carefully researched and tailored to reap the maximum benefits for participants. All sessions have an objective, for example Saturday mornings are more adventure based with orienteering and multi terrain challenges against the clock. Tuesday mornings are more cardio based and Thursdays are more strength and endurance based with abdominal training and equipment usage.
