I have just finished the 6-week challenge with Mercury Fitness and it was an incredibly positive experience. From the first virtual meeting to discuss my aims through to the culmination of the challenge, Jay and the team have been encouraging, supportive, firm and fun. Having exercised all my life and a keen runner and triathlete, my weight had crept on over the last 10 years and my motivation was a rock bottom. I was apprehensive of joining the boot camps at first as I thought I would be going to an elite class and I wouldnt be fit enough to even start I didnt need to worry. The other members were so encouraging and welcoming, combined with the brilliant instructors making sure everyone had modifications if needed, I quicky settled in and felt part of the crew from day 1. The sessions were brilliant, after each one I felt exhausted and exhilarated; giving me the motivation to come back soon to keep improving. I enjoyed them so much I ended up doing 4 or 5 a week instead of the 3 that is recommended. The progress wasnt just down to the workouts, thanks to Jays nutrition guide and accountability I really started to see results quickly; monitoring my calories and knowing that I had clear goals made it straight forward to keep going. Even when I had a wobble in week 4, Jay was on hand to quickly give me great advice to get me back on track. I finished the 6 weeks 8.5kg lighter and in the best shape I have been in for 10 years, more importantly I have my motivation back. If you are thinking of signing up, I could not recommend it enough; it's not easy and you do have to put the effort in, however the results at the end are fantastic remember its a challenge not a magic solution, you get out what you put in.

I had a fantastic transformation challenge with Mercury. The trainers were amazing, the workouts were great craic and the 6 weeks were the toe up the bum I needed. It was easy to see the progress week on week and I ended feeling strong and like I accomplished something amazing! I'm glad I stopped being a ginny and just done it. Also I am 20.2lbs lighter and can do savage damage to a slam ball.

Ive just finished my six week challenge with Mercury Fitness and all I can say is that if youre willing to get stuck in and be disciplined with your diet this programme really works. Id tried lots of times to get motivated to go to the gym, doing a class or two and then not being able to keep at it. The six week programme meant that I had to show up for 3 classes a week and I surprised myself by wanting to do 4! For someone who felt intimidated by the gym, I felt welcomed and encouraged from my very first session. Conor and Judiths classes were fantastic and pushed me further than I thought I could go. Ive wanted to be healthier and fitter for years without being able to find something I actually enjoyed doing, but the classes were always good craic and I can honestly say I looked forward to going! Im so pleased to have lost 19lb and 5% body fat and am looking forward to continuing to work towards my goals. I know I wouldnt have managed this without Mercurys help. If youre thinking of doing the challenge, just go for it. You wont regret it!

So, about 5 months off work with Covid, led to an almost 3 stone weight gain, it had been coming off slowly once I returned to work. What I hadn't really realized was how much my fitness and strength had waned, until I helped a guy push his wife's car about 7 weeks ago. It took me about 5 minutes to recover . Then the opportunity with Mercury Fitness landed on my Facebook that night and I thought, why not? First night at Ward Park was extremely tough and I wondered what had I gotten into, but with super instructors and a great bunch of people, it made me determined to hit the 6 weeks as hard as I could. The classes, all outdoors, were great but hard work, and it wasn't long before I started feeling fitter and stronger. The meal plan was easy to follow and never felt hungry. I'm so glad I challenged myself over the 6 weeks to keep pushing harder and thanks to the support of the trainers and my group, I'm now down 24lb, dropped 5.1% body fat and 4 points down on visceral fat. Thank you Mercury

I have just completed my 6 week bootcamp with Mercury Fitness, well 7 weeks, I got an extra week due to admin issues but hey it worked in my favour. I'm not going to pretend it was easy but if you are prepared to put the effort in the rewards are huge. When I told a few people that I had signed up to the bootcamp I know they looked at me and thought why?? But it's not always about losing lots of weight, sometimes as it was for me a way to get back into fitness and feel better about myself physically, emotionally and mentally. I had let myself get into a bad place over the last 2 years, my mum had passed away, I went into menopause and like most of the nation I had put on covid weight. I went from being an extremely fit, active person to someone who barely went for a walk. When I saw the add for the bootcamp I thought this looks like my kind of thing and it was, the instructors are great, the classes are a good mix of hard work and fun (a special shout out to Pete whose classes were exceptional). Perserverance and a dose of stubbornness are needed but my confidence and fitness are back. I feel better in my clothes but most importantly I am mentally in a far better place. I feel great and its all thanks to Mercury Fitness.
