Fitness boot camp isnt much different than those miliary boot camp scenes youve seen in the movies.
Bootcamp Basics
A boot camp is an instructor-led, outdoor fitness class.
Unlike working as a personal trainer, you dont need to be a certified strength and conditioning coach.
Upfront costs are minimal.
In fact, Ive run boot camps that didnt require any investment at all.
I invited my friends, family and some neighbours from my building.
The invitations went out that night but nobody responded until Friday morning.
Saturday morning came, and I had two attendees not nearly enough to run a boot camp.
I cancelled it and resent the invitation for the following Saturday.
Not good, right?

Its better to prelaunch than relaunch.Give yourself time to get enough attendees.
Send out email, Facebook and Instagram invitations ahead of time.
Call your family and friends and get them to commit.
Keep them engaged until the date and then rock your session to keep them coming back.
