Happy 6th Birthday to Recruit 6 Bootcamps! 🎉
I thought I’d share where Recruit 6 began.
I was Recruit 6 on Channel 4’s SAS: Who Dares Wins. When I finished the show, I decided I wanted to start my own bootcamps, women only which has since grown to mixed classes
Having been through a domestic violence relationship, ending up in hospital while pregnant, and finding the courage to press charges, I wanted to create somewhere members could feel safe, supported and empowered.
Recruit 6 is more than just exercise. I wanted it to be a place where people could build their confidence, challenge themselves, make new friends and, most importantly, feel like they belonged.
It definitely wasn’t easy. I started the bootcamps during COVID, of all times but thankfully they were a hit from the start.
Over the last 6 years, we’ve moved locations a few times, from fields to halls to units, but the members have always been supportive
We’ve had: Christmas dos, Rounders days, Kickboxing bootcamps, Aqua park days, Meals out, Hotpod Yoga sessions, Pilates sessions, park runs And so much more.
You’ve challenged yourselves in ways you probably never thought possible. You’ve run 10Ks, half marathons and ultra marathons. You’ve had babies and come back. You’ve got married and made lifelong friendships.
And apparently, you’ve all gained a new dad along the way too!
Over the six years, people have also left. Some have moved away, some have gone on to find different fitness journeys, and, if I’m being completely honest, some have left because they haven’t been happy with something I’ve done. And that’s okay.
Trying to keep around 50 members happy isn’t always easy. I do the absolute best I can with the time I have, while also working two other jobs and running a family
I’m not perfect, and I know I can’t please everyone all of the time.
But what I do know is this…
Recruit 6 is still here because of YOU. ❤️
Thank you for your continued support
Lots of love Nikki # # #
