THE MAN WHO PUT'S THE BOOT INTO BOOTCAMP

"Don't pretend. You know you love it!" These are the words of encouragement from the man behind the bootcamp fitness fad sweeping the nation, the man most people just call 'Chief'.

His prophetic comments were heard as the quasi-military style training program, ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP, was held on Sydney's Eastern Beaches last week.

Using techniques similar to those endured by Army and Marine recruits, participants sign on for a four-week, intense physical training regime, for 75 minutes three mornings a week.

Men and women aged between their late teens and early fifties are  pushed through challenging yet entertaining training sessions, designed to achieve maximum results, in the minimum amount of time.

The pioneer of Boot Camp training here in Australia, 'Chief Brabon, is a former Australian Army infantry soldier, and has over 15 years experience as a personal trainer and military fitness advisor.
