John and the team at Burn It Bootcamp are an amazing bunch of very talented fitness professionals. Five months ago I could barely run through the car park and I have now just completed my first 10K! The support, encouragement and motivation is fantastic. If you fancy something a bit different that's fun while getting fitter and healthier give these guys a try.

I have worked with John over the last 12 months mainly through Burn It's Revoloution health & fitness program. The more I got to know John the more I knew he wasn't just your standard PT Instuctor. I have always found him to be honest & interested in me as a person not just treat me as any old client. He has detailed knowledge of the health & fintess domain & I can always rely on John whenever Ihave needed some help, assistance or dare I say it motivation. He listens to his clients needs & always tries to find the right solution. He also has the great knack of pushing people to there own personal limits. I would definitely have no hesitation in recommending John or the team at Burn It!!!!
