“Nervous Starting Off…But the Most Positive Health Choice I Have Ever Made”

Joining Your Health Camp has been the most positive health choice I have ever made. I was nervous starting off because I felt unfit but after the first session I thought ‘I can do this!’ (despite not being able to walk properly for the first week). Week 2 saw a great improvement and I became stronger and more fit as the days went on. As well as the training, the nutritional information has an equal contribution to the whole ethos of the healthcamp. The fantastic results are that my energy levels have increased, stress levels have decreased, moods stabilised and my concentration levels have improved. Friends are also commenting on how much healthier I look. The healthcamp is good fun with many laughs along the way. I’ve met some great people, and each session brings some surprise. John is always available for some individual advice and keeps us motivated and focused with daily emails. Roll on the next 5 weeks of healthcamp.

“Bang and the Weight Falls Off – One Stone Down in 5 Weeks”

My main goal was to loose weight but the course teaches you to focus on getting your health and fitness right first and the weight just fell off me. ( 12lbs )

The main reason that I kept going for the 5 weeks, was that I started feeling much healthier and the support from all the other people doing the course was just fantastic and it keeps you focused on your goals.

I joined a local gym over 6 years ago and went twice a week but received little or no support and found it a complete waste of time and money.

“5 Weeks – 8lbs of Stubborn Fat Melts Away”

I am delighted with the results I have seen over the five weeks! I’ve lost 8lbs, which is great because I was hoping to lose 6lbs, and lost inches around my body. I feel healthier, have a lot more energy and no longer crave any junk food or fizzy drinks. The health camp has overall helped me to realise a healthier way of living and it’s not as difficult as I had originally thought it would be!
I would definitely recommend the health camp to everyone, no matter what your fitness because you can work at a level that suits you and you can figure out where you are going wrong on the nutritional side of things. It has worked for me and I intend to carry on,

I’m glad I took the step to improve my fitness and health… I’ve never felt so good! Thanks

“You Get Results, Results and More Results”

Felt I was in the hands of a professional who knows what he is talking about. Great encouragement and support both from the service providers and the other health campers.

The holistic approach to making changes to nutrition, lifestyle and exercise has really been fantastic.

Habits are being changed and overall new changes are being stuck with and when they are not, they are missed.

I have enjoyed the five weeks of the camp so much, I cannot believe how much I have enjoyed it and relished the challenge of doing all sorts of exercises I have never done before.

The camaraderie on the camp has been amazing; you want to get out of bed at 6am even when you are tired as you know by 7am you will be chatting and laughing with a great bunch of people.

Found out how easy it actually is to make nutritional changes, to ditch the diet and weighing scales mentality and enjoy eating things that are actually good for you.

Getting a great buzz from the exercise, from reaching targets and seeing how much more capable I am becoming – those bloody first day squats no longer hold any fear, or pain!

The integrated approach taken to help you get on track not just with exercise but with nutrition as well.

YOU GET RESULTS, YOU GET RESULTS AND THEN YOU GET MORE RESULTS! Weight is lost, inches are lost, you become more healthy and fitter.

“Loves the Personal Attention”

I thoroughly enjoyed the Health Camp. It was a great way to boost motivation and vitality heading into the Autumn/Winter. The variety in the training kept it interesting and challenging. One thing I have really taken away with me is that it is ok to transition steadily towards better habits.

The idea of a slightly slower but very consistent move in the right direction is excellent. It is much more likely that I will succeed by taking this approach. In the past I have gone gung-ho for a couple of weeks and them fallen off the wagon. Since starting the Health Camp (and since finishing it) I am way less concerned with the time frame and far more focused on the long term habits I wish to cultivate. I have taken on board your advice that this is about health, not just weight. I have made many changes to my diet – no dairy, no wheat and am eating way more vegetables and salads. I would highly recommend the Health Camp and the personal attention you give in the form of regular e mails and the Health Camp forum all serve to make it a very supportive and positive environment in which to succeed.

“Finally Gets off The Boring – Zero Results Gym Train”

Its not like your average boring week at the gym. Have looked forward to each class. Each day there is something different added in to challenge you that extra bit. You are made feel welcome and part of a team no matter what your fitness levels are.
In the past few years i have never committed fully to a service as i have to the last five weeks in health camp. Although i feel some of the nutritional guidelines are a bit extreme for me i have surely taking on board many of the tips for a healthier lifestyle. I found working in a team fun and pushes you that little bit extra in each class. Over all a great five weeks and looking forward to the next one

“Feels Like as fit as a Teenager Again”

When I joined the camp I realised I wasn’t very fit but I can’t believe how different I feel at the end of five weeks,I am able to do exercises I used to do as a teenager.

My biggest problem was making time for myself but so far so good! The flexibility within the clinic has made this easier for me .

Normally I go out with good intentions but I give up after a few days.

The support with both exercise and foods to eat have made a difference. I have learnt so much about my food habits .

Also the fun we have had while exercising -I actually look forward to each of the sessions!!

I have really thoroughly enjoyed the past five weeks ,well you know that John as I’ve signed up for the next camp!

“A Great Way to Start a Fitness Programme”

Great way to start a fitness program. To learn and achieve a lot in a short space of time

Love the team spirit and the chance to meet new people that are like minded about their health.

“More Fad, Diets, Sleeping Better, More Energy and Saves 550 Euros!!”

I’m definitely sleeping better, making healthier food choices and overall I just feel better!

Without any hesitation, I would definitely recommend this service. I’ve signed up for the next session and I have told all my family and friends that this is the ‘only’ way to get healthy and be fit forever. No more fad diets!!!

Number one – the fun factor – of course it was tough going but everybody is in the same boat and when some things got tough, you had the support of the other clients to help you through and of course, Johns support and encouragement was invaluable. Number 2 – Every session was different. unlike the gym, when you train with John, he delivers his service in an unique way ensuring it doesn’t become monotonous. number 3 – All the tips that were shared between John and the other clients proved to be a great help. Who knew that vegetables could taste so good.

I had spent 550 euro on a gym membership last year that I only used 20 times throughout the year. What a waste!!! I was looking for an alternative when I came across Sphere Fitness website and it’s Healthcamp. I was a bit sceptial at first. I thought same old, same old and it’ll probably cost a fortune. But after signing up for what I consider to be the best fitness/training programme around I was astonished. Talk about VFM- value for money – this truly is a recession beating training programme that works!!!

“Loses Stubborn Body Fat and Finds it Amazing”

My experience at health camp has been amazing…so much so I have signed up for a second one!! I was initially anxious about going down this road as in my mind I had been training for a while and I didn’t know whether such a change in direction would affect the level of fitness I had achieved but constant reassurance and the health camp forum got rid of all those worries.

All levels of fitness were catered for from the start and the group dynamic and constant motivation from John has been priceless. From being able to chat to other health campers about aches and pains to constant nutritional hints and tips backed up with shopping list and constant advice, in the space of 5 weeks I have learned so much.

Also the fact that the camp is outdoors has been great, rain or shine it just adds to it. The hardest thing is to shift from the mindset of weight loss and weighing scales to focus on nutrition and health but if my energy levels and overall feeling of well being are anything to go by there is something in it. I signed up for the 7am camp and never once did I dread having to go. The crack and being part of a group gives you that extra nudge when it might be easier to stick to the bed or couch!!!

I would have no hesitation in recommending health camp as the way forward …its not hard core army training like the mental image I had… its exactly what it says HEALTH camp….you get out of it what you put into it and the motivation and advice for your individual needs is there every step of the way. Its hard work but the change in body shape and the overall felling of wellness make it worth every session.

“Saves a Fortune on Useless Gym Memberships”

Anytime I have ever trained I have done it alone, hence when your alarm goes off and its a bit cold outside, or I didnt sleep well or I’m just too lazy there is no-one to know, I could just roll over and say I’ll do it tomorrow.
With this Health Camp I found that I dont want to let the rest of the gang down, it gets me out of bed and I’m always glad after, even if I’m a bit slow to get going. I feel energised and ready for the day ahead. I see my fitness improving day by day and I’m even doing a little extra on the side.
This course has given me the kick start I have been looking for. No more wasted gym membership for me!!

“Turns Back the Clock”

I have enjoyed the sessions and it is good to do something new for a change.
The long terms effects will be great, I might live to grow old.

“Loses 8lbs of Stubborn Body Fat and NOW has Energy to Play with the Kids”

I’ve more energy and am now much fitter than I’ve been in a long time, I’m motivated to keep up with my own fitness regime and

I’m more aware of my diet, I also seem to have lost 6lbs and now all my trousers are loose and I need a new belt.

It’s a social event as well as fitness and nutrition session.
It’s fun, even at 7am on a wet Friday morning.
I’ve toned up and gained energy, enough to keep up with my manic 2 year old.

I’ve recommended it to anyone who will listen, I’ve gotten so much out of it and enjoyed myself enormously. It’d be a shame to keep that to myself.

Nothing to add other than genuine thanks to John for helping me back on the fitness horse, and if I’ve managed this much after 5 weeks I can’t wait to see what I can achieve after another 5.

Greg McEvoy, Celbridge

“Health Camp at Any Age”

I was Unsure of what I was getting into. Was it appropriate for my age / would I be able for it / cost could have been an obstacle, but when I got the special offer I was happy that if it did not work out for me – it wasn’t an expensive mistake.

I think it is a service that can be tailored to meet each individual’s needs but at the same time demanding a definite commitment to achieve what you want from it. I particularly like the approach that it is about getting “healthy and fit” – not another “weight watchers” programme.

I liked the talk on the Wednesday evening (week 2 I think!) on nutrition / the question and answer session / plus all the information you made available that we could download via the net.

1.Being able to email the service for advice. 2. 45 minutes of short sharp bursts of exercise I feel is better than two hours of long drawn out exercises. 3. The availability of a one to one consultation even at an extra charge makes for a very professional and personalised service.

I would recommend it to people who are serious and concerned about their health – and not everybody is sadly.

“Short Intense Workouts with Results after Week 1″

Originally I was hesitant to join Sphere fitness as I thought I wouldn’t have the time with other commitments especially considering the gym opening hours. But once I started going I now love the hours, I go straight from work and I have the evening to relax knowing I’ve done my work out.

Its actually given me more time rather than taking up my evening. Furthermore my time in the gym is maximised, because I am being guided in my workout I know what I am doing is worthwhile and I always feel it, everytime, even though

I don’t spend hours there. Another misconception I had about the gym is that is would be a mans gym with all weights, and I wouldn’t fit in or be able to lift like them, but now I know that every persons workout is different, so the lads get their weights and mixed work out, as do the girls, but no one feels watched or under pressure.

The one thing I really like about Sphere is that even though I can always feel the effects the next day, and I was seeing results after the first week, I don’t feel like I’m killing myself in the gym.

When I used to go to gyms before I’d do 20 minute reps on threadmills etc and I’d be so bored, constantly watching the time. In Sphere my workout is always changing, and I never notice the time go by.

Through John’s emails and guidence I have started eating healthier, which is something I’ve been meaning to start on my own for ages, but never did, so the support of the gym is great to have.

I have already recommended this service to a few people, and anyone who joins, including me, is surprised that it is more relaxed than they thought it would be, but you still get your results you are after.

“Anyone can do it no matter what your ability”

We moved to the area and wanted to get fit. Found your classes advertised on the internet.

It was very hard work but we enjoyed it much more than we expected, our fitness definitely improved and it covered a ‘whole body’ approach to fitness – diet, hydration, mental fitness etc.

It was great fun and we met a lot of lovely people of all abilities.
Anyone can do it, no matter what your ability, 45mins three times a week is easily fitted into your schedule, John was very supportive yet really inspired us to give everything each session.

It was great fun, we were treated as adults (no one shouting at us), John is so personable, a big improvement in our fitness in 5 weeks, changed our mental attitude towards exercise.

Is there anything you’d like to add? We have signed up for another 5 weeks of hard work but cannot wait to get started – that says it all!
