FIT To Tackle, the popular free fat-busting bootcamp programme run by Warrington’s LiveWire, has reached the end of the latest 12-week programme – with participants shedding an incredible 37 stone combined.
Participants completed three high-impact bootcamp sessions a week as well as nutrition advice from Chester University’s Dr Tom Butler.
Thirty six people completed the programme and the scales showed a combined group weightloss of 37st 6lbs (239KG) – with 30 people (83 per cent of participants) shedding at least 5 per cent of their body weight.
Tom Kearney, Lifestyles Advisor at LiveWire and Fit To Tackle coach said: “Another programme has concluded and it’s been a very successful course achieving some fantastic results.
“The group weight loss was really encouraging and shows the hard work that has been put in over the past 12 weeks by everyone who took part.
“Alongside weight loss, our participants have also made huge improvements in their fitness with almost everyone now able to run a mile without stopping and everyone completing the challenge of running up and down every single step in the Halliwell Jones Stadium – no easy feat!
“We hope that everyone will continue to exercise, whether that be joining a gym or attending another exercise class such as our hugely popular paid-for Fit To Tackle Bootcamp that runs every Monday evening at the stadium and costs just £5 a session.”
Jenny Bishop was the ‘biggest loser’ of the programme – losing 11.4 per cent of her bodyweight in the 12 weeks.
She said: “Fit To Tackle has changed me in so many amazing ways. The obvious one is losing weight but it’s also increased my self-esteem and confidence.
Last weekend at the end of a 10k race I met a friend who I hadn’t seen for months – she was blown away by the difference in how I looked and when I saw the pictures of me near the start line, I cried. Thank you to everyone who I’ve met and has helped me to get to this point – I’ve honestly loved every second of our Fit To Tackle journey and would do it all again in a heartbeat.”
LiveWire’s next 12-week Fit To Tackle’s programme will launch in September with applications opening in August.
36 are “fit to tackle” after losing 37 stone!
