Glynn has experienced all types of physical stresses, through Commando training completing the famous 30 miler over Dartmoor, to the Tough Guy challenge and intensive weight training. These experiences have given Glynn a solid insight into the body’s limits. With a vast background in group and Personal Training, a variety of which include Marine recruits, Professional Football Clubs, Police head quarters and schools, Glynn maintains the belief that it is very important to keep your training challenging, fresh and enjoyable, that way your body never gets stuck into a routine.

About Glynn

Glynn spends much of his time motivating and training others to achieve their goals, whatever that maybe. Getting people outside in the fresh air and understanding that there are better, more enjoyable ways to train other than the gym, is his ambition. His spare time is spent training himself, he is a big believer in 'practice what you preach'.

Why we love Glynn

Glynn co-founded Essex Boot Camp in 2006 with a vision to create a leading outdoor exercise experience, to cater for all fitness levels. With a military background, the Royal Marines Commandos is one of the UKs toughest physical tests to pass and be accepted into. It’s the toughest for a reason as the Royal Marines are some of the fittest people in the world, and that’s purely down to the training they go through. Starting a ‘Boot Camp’ was the obvious answer to Glynn, “Essex Boot Camp brings together a range of exercises from military inspired circuits, using Mother Nature’s gym (logs, hills etc), all the while having a good time and meeting some great characters”.

Why Glynn loves Essex Boot Camp

“Put very simply, Essex Boot Camp ticks all the boxes for the perfect solution to achieve results.  Varied training, experienced instructors and training that is fun but very affective.  Super fit or super unfit our training will cater for you”.

“We both loved it, as when you’re pushed you feel you have really achieved something. I couldn’t believe the hour was up so quickly and it was great to be out in the fresh air. No matter how bad I was I never felt like I was left behind so that’s a testament to Glynn, and how good a good physical trainer he is”

Mairead Samwell Quote after she took her trial session.

Gone are the days of working out in a stuffy class or gym, our members are encouraged to embrace the elements. Now more than ever people are leaving gyms, looking for something different, varied and dynamic and that is exactly what they get at one of our sessions. I still get a buzz from instructing at Essex Boot Camp, it’s as fresh for me as it was back in 2006. The principle is still very much the same, seeing people have fun, socialise and get in seriously good shape all at the same time, in the biggest gym of all, the great out doors”.

“Unless they're hardened weight trainers, most gym frequenters follow a familiar pattern. A little bit of treadmill time, some weights and maybe the cross trainer. All of this with no supervision and no motivation to push beyond a pre-determined comfort zone. It's little wonder that attendance drops off as the year goes on. I started outdoor training over four years ago and have no desire at all to return to a gym. For the average person, everything you need to get fit and lose weight can be found outdoors. Everyday objects you may have walked past suddenly turn into an exercise tool! You simply cannot replicate the feeling Essex Boot Camp training gives you within the confines of a gym. Give it a go and you'll soon see what I mean!”

Why Ian loves Essex Boot Camp

“The variety of people who attend Essex Boot Camp are there for the same reason - to start or further their exercise goals. With this common group goal, Essex Boot Camp provides environments perfect for individuals to shed inhibitions and try out new ideas (without fear of being judged which commonly manifests in image conscious gyms).”
“Ian has been my personal trainer for 7 years. Despite training regularly together, Ian never does the same session twice which works for me as every session is fresh and gives me something to get stuck in to. I’m always in great anticipation of which ‘healthy challenges’ lie in wait next time! I particularly enjoy kicking and punching the pads and the core strengthening has definitely helped my horse riding which I’ve recently returned to. Don’t be fooled by his friendly easy going nature and make the mistake of trying to cruise through workouts. as he doesn’t miss a trick - the aches you have the following day are a testimony to that!
