Burn over 500 calories per session!
Burn more than 500 calories per session in our challenging but fun outdoors group classes. The Diet’s Don’t Work Bootcamp is held on Batchelors Acre in the heart of scenic Windsor and it’s a great way to lose weight, get fit and tone up. The camp is a departure from the boredom, stagnation and lack of results that often come with working out on your own in a gym, with a lively, motivational group exercising together. The classes are run by REPS (Register of Exercise Professionals) level 3 advanced instructors who are fully insured for group activity and ensure that the class is fun, varied, effective and challenging.
- The camp is for everyone from total beginners to advanced levels. We divide participants into three groups who each wear different coloured tops: blue for beginners, red for the intermediates and green for the advanced. The exercises are adjusted accordingly for each group so you are always exercising with someone at a similar level to yourself.
- It’s effective: military style exercises are a proven way to get fit, improve tone and lose weight. The average calorie burn across the groups is 540 per class, but the fitter you get the more calories you will get through. The average distance covered by the beginners is 3 kilometres, but we are always on hand to make sure that no one gets left behind.
- Nutritional advice is available if you’d like it. Our instructors are also nutritional therapists, just ask if you need help or would like some tips.
- It’s different: many people give up fitness regimes because they get bored and don’t seem to get anywhere. Variety and change are the key to making your body adapt and change. Each week you will be put through different challenging and effective workouts with team games, paired exercises, circuits, strength training, cardio routines and stretching.
- Have fun together: once you are enrolled in a class you are part of a team and never alone. The help of your instructor and fellow bootcampers means that you keep going when you would have stopped on your own and stay encouraged while encouraging others. The bootcamp is all about getting fit together.
- It’s outdoorsy: recent research has shown that exercising outdoors is more effective than the gym or even indoor classes. Being outdoors leads to greater feelings of wellbeing both physically and mentally, while you breathe fresher air and burn more calories.
Bootcamp Timetable

Location
The Bootcamp is held on Batchelors Acre in Central Windsor, SL4 1EN. It’s adjacent to Windsor library (parking) and Windsor Liberal Club. It’s also just around the corner from the Corner Bar on Sheet Street.
Instructor
The bootcamp is usually run by Diets Don’t Work founder Adam Atkinson, with our other trainers occasionally stepping in. We also have a bootcamp assistant trainer, Wilson the black labrador. A keen fitness enthusiast Wilson has experienced first hand the difficulties of maintaining a healthy weight. Wilson ensures any dogs attending the class are entertained as well as keeping an eye on bootcampers. He also does squats and lunges to counteract the baguette, McDonald’s, sweets and debris that he forages for in the park.

Clothing
It’s likely that you will get a bit dirty (part of the fun) and possibly wet (part of the fun), so you might not want to wear your designer top. We train in all weathers and seasons, but remember that you will get hot in the class so we’d recommend layering sportswear with a synthetic wicking top.
Free Trial
Try the Bootcamp for free! Simply choose the class, print the bootcamp screening form, fill it in and bring it to the class with you. We recommend that you come 5-10 minutes early so that your instructor can introduce themselves and chat about your goals and current fitness levels. If you have forgotten your screening form or can’t print it the instructor can provide one for you to fill in before the class.
