Olympic Champion Daley Thompson and Gladiatorial Commonwealth Champion, Kate Staples, are passionate about two things; the power of exercise to transform and a belief that everyone, whatever the shape, age or level of fitness can improve their well-being through increased activity.
It’s a belief formed of their own outstanding athletics careers, where the power of training in a group helps motivate success and the joy of exercising outside inspires performance. It’s the founding principle of their pioneering outdoor fitness programmes, Adventure Boot Camps.

John is a personal trainer, fitness consultant, trainer of personal trainers, media advisor, medical exercise specialist, mentor, life coach, and peak performance consultant
Since the late 1990s John has operated an Adventure bootcamp in California. After years of research, hundreds of hours of instruction, experimenting with various teaching methods, camp formats, and nutrition programs, the adventure bootcamp method emerged. This is the method you will learn.
After much research, Kate Staples found John's bootcamp format and program to be the best in the United States where bootcamps originated and decided to travel there in 2003. She underwent extensive training learning the success formula from John and his qualified team of instructors. Kate brought this to the UK and attracted the attention from Daley Thompson OBE after running a camp together. They have now joined forces their knowledge adapting this to Britain. The bootcamp training together with their knowledge and success is guaranteed to provide you with the formula to successfully attaining a healthy, fit and astounding body.
In 2006, Kate continued her training in California with John. See below.
