“I’ve been clearing through some old stuff and found a piece of paper with my weight and measurements on it was from 2003 so that shows how long I have been trying to do this weight loss thing, I weighed in at 14st 13, I think this was my heaviest ever, since then I have been up and down but now at 10st 12 I am the lightest I have been probably for most of my adult life! My waist measured 46 inches so now at 32 inches I’m pretty happy! I am pleased I found this paper as it puts into perspective where I’ve come and also how good the results I’ve had with Alvin James Messam and Bootcamp FM since April.
I also tried on my wedding dress from 23 years ago and this would Definitely need taking in!!! now I just need to make sure in another ten years I don’t let things slip”
When you look at a person, any person, remember that everyone has a story. Everyone has gone through something that has changed them. Two years ago I was extremely poorly and found it impossible to walk down my road without not being able to breathe. I received a double transplant in October 2012 and decided once I was well enough to exercise It would be my goal to become fit and healthy, not only for me but for my Son, Family and my Donor who sadly passed away allowing me to have a second chance in life. My sister Louise introduced me to Alvin and Bootcamp FM in August 2014. Without the help and support of Alvin, Lucy, Sam and my bootie buddies I would never have dreamt entering or even completing the Wolf Run yesterday. I’ve still got a long way to go but I will continue to progress and achieve goals which i once thought were impossible. Alvin James Messam you really are an inspiration, you have changed my life for the better! Thank you xx
The sessions were hard, but I would go away everyday feeling better about myself. I instantly noticed my body changing, I was more energetic, my arms were toning up, and with each completed session I found my fitness level improving.
At the end of my 28 days I had lost almost a stone in weight and about 7 inches overall. I noticed the biggest difference on my stomach, which was always bloated with a muffin top and overhang. My stomach was flat for the first time in years!!
I can’t recommend Bootcamp FM enough. Alvin is so supportive and motivating, and which each session being different you never get bored.
The other members make you feel like a big family working towards your own goals.
The results speak for themselves; I used to waste my time in the gym, pretending I was pushing myself. You don’t know how much your body can achieve until you have attended Bootcamp FM!!
So tonight I went for my 1st bootcamp session!!! To start I was so nervous but the support you get … Off EVERYONE!! I could off gave up so many times but the trainer was Absolutely Amazing we were doing boxing and it was squat jumps I was struggling so much he came and did each jump with me and motivated me so much never felt so good in all my life & it’s so fun!!!!! Can’t wait to go next week… & it just shows u Age Sex Shape Size does not matter Thankyou Alvin can’t wait for next weeks session!!!
Just completed my 6 week challenge well what can I say Alvin and his team are fantastic and if you struggle with any of the excrise they will adapt it for you so you still get the benefit, before I joined my clothes were tight and I lacked motivation feeling tired all the time, 6 weeks on my clothes are lose and I have loads of energy I followed he’s eating plan for 6 weeks and went to the excrise groups 2 a week this program really works I am ready to continue to smash my goals
So 8weeks into the 12wk programme I am 44lbs lighter & 23″ smaller. I feel so different. I can’t quite believe it. I have put tops & trousers on that I haven’t been able to wedge myself in since before my daughter was born nearly 9 years ago. They fit great now and are even slightly loose!! The support from Alvin & Lucy has been amazing.The support within this group is fab, knowing we are all doing this helps!! So these next four weeks are gonna be equally as good if not better!!
I would like to personally thank Alvin James Messam and Samantha Battyof Bootcamp FM. Over the last 12 weeks I have undertaken a massive challenge which at times has left me frustrated, sad and in pain. Having said that I cannot emphasise enough the Life Changes you have given me. I am almost 2 stone lighter, stronger and fitter than I have been in many years. Ok, I have a sore knee and I still have a long way to go but with your help, care, guidance and support I know I will reach my goal.
I have made some amazing friends who are also achieving what we never thought possible. Well Done to all my Bootcamp buddies.
I LOVE boxing smile emoticon Who knew. Thank you for believing in me guys and making me believe in myself. Xxx laura ostrowski
Jan 2014 I started the 12 Week Transformation Programme, approx. six weeks ago as I write this. Six weeks ago I was over two stone heavier. That’s right Two stone not to mention how many inches from everywhere, even places which I considered to be previously trim!
This Transformation Programme is simply mind blowing, results speak for themselves but what I can’t believe is quite how easy it was. It has now revolutionised my life, my work colleagues think I’m on a diet as I keep telling them, its NOT a diet, it’s a new way of thinking a new outlook on things, as Alvin keeps telling me “you cannot out train a poor diet”. I now eat good nutritious food which not only tastes great but is just changing me in ways I could have never imagined.
I feel great, better than I can ever remember, I sleep well I awake feeling refreshed I have energy and drive and a new sense of achievement which just increases as I watch the weight decrease.
I simply cannot wait until the summer to be on the beach parading the body which I never even dreamed of.
There is a down side to this programme however. I now have to go out a buy myself a new wardrobe as everything is now too big – Problems which I really like !!
Great thanks!! Also a quick thanks (massive thanks) I bought a top on Saturday that is 3 sizes smaller than I was wearing in October!!! Was so happy I could cry!! Thank you . Lyndsey
I just want to say thank you so so much for all your support and encouragement over the past 12 weeks. 12 weeks ago I was in a bad way, suffering with anxiety, panic attacks, sciatica, low self esteem. I couldn’t walk up the stairs without reaching for my inhaler. BootcampFM has totally turned my life around and to get my results today has meant so much to me, especially to see my blood pressure lower and my heart rate. Your constant words of encouragement and your support has been what has helped me through these weeks and you have helped me really push myself both physically and mentally. Thank you xxx I’m looking forward to continuing on my journey and to keep setting myself new goals. Liz
I would like to say a big thank you to Sam, Alvin, Mandie, Jo, Ray and Anna.
I have just been clothes shopping and feel great for the first time in a few years. I started bootcamp last September and could not walk far without puffing and panting and generally feeling ill. I was in a size 24 clothes but creeping up to a 26. I used to go shopping but I would sit in the changing room have a cry and come out and the clothes did not fit without trying them on. Today I feel on top of the world thanks for the help and support of the group. I have now got clothes size 20 and even a top which is a size 18. My daughter Jenny and my best friend had tears and said how fab I looked, I felt 10 feet tall and it feels nice to have some lovely clothes for my holiday. Once again many thanks to you all and see you in class this week xx

I joined Bootcamp FM in March 2014, after years of slimming clubs & diets a year previously I had decided diet alone was not going to help me so I joined a gym. After a year of hard work and very little results with either weight or inch loss I was feeling defeated and was about to give up on ever losing weight when i friend introduced me to Bootcamp FM which has changed my whole outlook towards Health, Diet & Fitness.
Firstly I tried a week’s trial where I was introduced to Alvin’s exercise routine, everyone was so welcoming and encouraging I didn’t feel uncomfortable or out of place! Alvin then invited me for a fitness assessment where we discussed my goals and talked me through the different programmes available. For my individual goals Alvin suggested the 12 week transformation programme. Right from day 1 Alvin was there providing motivation, encouragement along with a detailed structured nutrition package and tailored exercise plan which I followed to the letter and the weight and inches soon started to disappear! Over the 12 weeks Alvin and his team were always on hand to offer advice and support and surprisingly there was an odd treat thrown in to reward my hard work.
The 12 week transformation programme really did transform me, I lost weight & inches and dropped a whole dress size! My whole outlook had now changed and with Alvin’s guidance i can see why the slimming clubs and diets do not work or if they do the results do not last, its about education, training and planning. I am slimmer, happier and motivated and even though I finished the 12 week transformation programme weeks ago I am still losing weight and inches every week as I know now what my body needs and wants and how to fuel it.
I would recommend to anyone who is about to throw in the towel to try it, you will not regret it! I am happier, more motivated, slimmer and lighter!
I am now a bootcamp addict!
BEFORE the 6 week challenge I was struggling with my health and this was preventing me doing any kind of exercising, even walking.
DURING the challenge I went to 3 classes a week in the evening, even took my 2.5 year old.
I planned, prepped and enjoyed the meals that were included in the plan
Enjoyed the social side to the exercise classes and the group support that was received everyday.
AFTER the challenge I am now aware of the healthy foods and the benefit this gives, the correct choices and how important drinking water is and how your body needs this.
I would recommend this boot camp, it gives you motivation, a challenge and you always find yourself pushing through what ever comes your way.
Alvin is a good person, fun and gives lots of support and checks in everyday. The planning that he does is commendable, never known to do the same exercises and was always hardworking but fun.
I have felt much better in myself and glad I joined x
