James Evans Academy

Fantastic experience: What an amazing adventure. Did the 3 peaks challenge. Felt throughly supported by James, George and Janice. They made the whole experience memory making and an achievement I will treasure always. I cannot recommend this enough. If like me you are unsure if this sort of adventure is too far out of your comfort zone - just do it! James and the team give you the confidence to do it!

Fantastic experience: Before committing to the Bootcamp I was apprehensive that it would be way beyond my capabilities, on account of my age and extreme unfitness. But James assured me that I and every single person attending at the same time as me would experience training specific to their own needs and abilities. And that's how it turned out. I was pushed to my maximum at every session and other people were pushed to theirs. If you had shown me before I went the schedule of what I would be doing I would probably have chickened out. But I was able to do it and that is down to James and his team and their ability to judge what is appropriate for each individual. In short, I would heartily recommend James Evans Bootcamps, especially for those who worry they might not be up to it. Don't worry; you will be.

Fantastic experience: Just got back from a residential bootcamp with James, George and Janice and have already booked to go again next year and do the three peaks with them. This was my second time at bootcamp and I can honestly say I absolutely loved it. James, George and Janice have an amazing ability to push you further than you ever thought was possible whilst being so supportive, encouraging and kind. They are amazing at adjusting and adapting all the classes to make you work harder than you thought possible no matter what your fitness level.They are all so knowledgeable and explain both nutrition and fitness in a way that makes you confident to be able to continue once you leave. The program was amazing and so varied that it makes it really fun and I especially enjoyed the teamwork elements to the classes and the week which really brought the group together. I can't thank James, George and Janice enough as I have returned from bootcamp more confident, fitter and with more self belief and drive to continue with my nutrition and fitness. I can't wait for next year!

Fantastic experience: Going to this boot camp i didn’t know what to expect but I went and it was honestly the best thing I have ever done in my life. I have made friendships that I know will last my whole life. Before I went I was trying diets to lose weight and none of it was working. Since I have met James even I now have the knowledge to eat healthy without thinking of diets. Originally i booked on for 2 weeks but during those weeks I loved the boot camp so much I stayed an extra week. The training you receive while you are there is like no where else with different types of training and challenges and even fun with stand up paddle boarding and kayaking. Since I left I have boot camp fomo.

Fantastic experience: I loved my time at James Evans Bootcamps and I never thought I would say that! It was hard work but I have enjoyed every session. James, George and Janice are amazing and friendly instructors and you'll be in great hands. They are experts in their field and incredibly supportive and encouraging. Before joining the Bootcamp I lived a very inactive life. I was unmotivated and uninspired in regards to fitness and training. Now, I'm motivated and I look forward to working out and I can't wait to see my transformation. One of the biggest things I have learnt is that my body can do a lot more than what I thought it can and that I am able to achieve more than what I think I am capable of. The biggest take away is the change in my mindset as I am more focused on training and performance, thanks to James. The bootcamp is catered for all abilities and is open for everyone. The team really do care about you and provide variety of exercises throughout the week and it's fun! James also offers nutrition seminars throughout the week which were very educational and helpful. Overall it's been an amazing, inspiring, insightful and an unforgettable experience!

Fantastic experience: Amazing, inspirational and life changing describes my experience at James Evans bootcamp. I am a lady in her 50s that has led a sedentary lifestyle for a long period so was very unfit, overweight and literally hated exercise. I was a master at making excuses not to exercise. Well, no more! What James Evans has created will blow your mind. The programme tailors to all abilities, the encouragement and motivation pushes you to want to be a better you. I am dumbfounded with what I have achieved, what my body was able to do. I was someone, notice I say ‘was’, that was breathless walking up 3 sets of stairs at home, I can now run up those stairs without catching a breath. I have walked away from the bootcamp with a love of exercise (not in a million years did I think I would be saying that), have a nutritional plan from the bootcamp seminars to manage my weight loss, now that I understand why my years of yo yo dieting hasn’t worked, and I don’t have to sacrifice the things I love. If you are someone like me that was so unfit, or even if you are fit but want to get fitter (Personal Trainers attend this bootcamp which speaks volumes), over weight and want to transform how you think about food and exercise, look no further, this bootcamp will genuinely change your life. I’ve booked onto the 12 month transformation programme as James Evans has an amazing gift of getting the very best out of you, he also has a very good sense of humour. He is extremely generous with his time with each camper, and has a great team behind him, George and Janice deserve a big shout out. I really hope this post inspires someone to choose this bootcamp, if you resonate with who I was, and who knows, we may get to meet each other some day. Thanks James and team, I am forever in your debt for changing my mindset.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had the good fortune of joining James Evans Bootcamps to do UK residentials a few years ago and have been back every year since, for a physical and mental refresh. I was eager to join James and team on their first adventure completing the 3 peaks over 3 days. It was an amazing experience and personal challenge to complete all 3 mountains in 3 days. James and crew (George & Janice) went above and beyond to look after all with a range of physical abilities. It has been on my list to complete all 3 mountains at some point, so to get them all done at once was perfect. Being fit enough to enjoy every trek and take in the views was a must along with the right gear. James will make sure you are prepared well in advance. I would highly recommend joining this adventure, his other adventures and bootcamps. You will definitely enjoy any of them and benefit in life.

Fantastic experience: An absolutely amazing week with James & his team. A different workout every day enjoyed every minute as i was pushed to my limit. Will still do the workouts at home.

Fantastic experience: It was already my third bootcamp with James and his great team. This year with new location and it is worth!!! The varied program, but also the expertise of James and his team, always push me to my limits and that is exactly the reason why I travel from Austria every year.

Fantastic experience: A challenging but very rewarding week at the new Stratford Upon Avon location. Great team spirit among the participants and the usual wide ranging programme of activities, which are adjusted to suit everyone’s abilities. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing time at James's bootcamp. I learnt a huge amount about exercise, nutrition and recovery. The programme was full and varied with James and the team going above and beyond, from early morning runs to evening entertainment. I've already booked on to the next adventure!

Fantastic experience: An absolutely fantastic week and incredibly well organised and delivered by James and his wonderful team. Have come back feeling energised and motivated and I met an incredible group of people, already booked to come back next year!

Fantastic experience: Another Fantastic week - this is my 3rd time. New accommodation and location is fantastic . Met so many great people. James is an excellent coach and has an amazing support team ( Janice and George). The training is second to none- with activities and training seasons catering to all ages and abilities. My favourite sessions being the strength and conditioning, the PHA training , and of course the tyre flipping Bootcamp sessions. I’m already booked for next year, and the fitness holiday in Spain.

Fantastic experience: What an incredible experience. 3 peaks in 3 days. What an accomplishment. A massive thank you to James, Janice and George who made the whole experience the best it could be. The itinerary was planned to a T. Great facilities on all the camp sites - great showers and heated changing rooms. Breakfast, lunch and dinner all included. I’m coeliac and James and the team were so accommodating and bought gluten free options for me on the trip. The group was fab and such great people to share the experience with. If you’re thinking about it, do it! Highly highly recommend James adventure camps xx

Fantastic experience: I’ve recently returned from James’ Three Peak Adventure Camp and can thoroughly recommend it. The whole event was well planned and everyone was continually briefed on what was happening. James and his team were calm and caring making sure everyone was looked after, be that half way up one of the mountains or around the evening bbq. Whilst being part of a group, individual needs were always met including particular dietary needs. I thoroughly enjoyed the four days and will be booking on to another Adventure Camp.

Fantastic experience: I have just returned back from the 3 peak adventure and what a trip. From start to finish, I had so much fun. Walking up 3 mountains in 3 days is not for the faint hearted, but the team all helped to pull each other through with lots of laughs, moral support and plenty of sweets. I have to say it was very well organised by James, and we were well looked after by James, Janice and George. Everyone was super friendly and I was massively impressed with how everyone pitched in. The scenery we experienced was out of this world. There were lots of smiles but also lots of having to dig deep. It was fun! The campsites were all brilliant with nice showers and heated changing rooms. I would highly recommend this trip

Fantastic experience: I had the most immense week at bootcamp, which I know has given me a fantastic platform to move forward. I’ve been impacted a lot by menopause and a recent broken ankle and it’s all set me back massively. I had to do something significant to get me on the right path again so that’s why I booked. I knew it would be tough, and it was! It nearly broke me! It hurt! But that’s what it’s supposed to do… James and the team showed me the most incredible support and guided me through the discomfort with compassion and expertise. They told me what to expect and got me past the hardest parts. From then on I felt so much stronger and knew I was doing something special that would be so valuable for me to build on. I’ve come home with a more positive mental outlook and renewed motivation to move forward in the right way. James, Janice and George are the absolute best at what they do. They are knowledgeable, supportive, compassionate and available for your every need during the time at bootcamp. This is a first class, PROPER bootcamp and I’d recommend it most highly without having to do a load of research on Google. Do it, you won’t regret it. I’ve signed up for 2 more with ongoing support. I’m excited about my forthcoming journey! James, thank you!!

Fantastic experience: Had an absolutely 10/10 week on my first bootcamp with James and the team. It was hard but in a good way. And we all came away fitter, stronger and happier. Already signed up to my next bootcamp in July and I can’t wait.

Fantastic experience: This was my second bootcamp with James & it was excellent. The HIIT, tabata, boxing, hiking, climbing… etc were all amazing; food was delicious and plentiful and the banter was jokes. Will be coming back for more; couldn’t recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: After a long break from fitness, I joined Xtreme Bootcamp to get back on track. Two weeks of fitness and nutrition. Not only do I feel physically stronger, but mentally as well. The fitness was intense, but James made it accessible to all levels, and it never got boring or repetitive. James has a way of making the exercise fun and understanding what motivates everyone! I've been to quite a few boot camps, and this one has been one of the best in facilitating long-term lifestyle change. Every day, we had nutrient and fitness talks that went into detail and educated us individually on how to achieve our goals. This isn’t some quick-fix program or one-week program that one forgets about; it’s a one-week program that can stick with you for life. On top of that, I met some amazing people—who were all very supportive and had many laughs along the way! Also, a shoutout to Janice, who was there to add in the small touches around the house like bubble baths, teas, and Epsom salts, making sure everyone felt comfortable. She also provided us with some yoga sessions, which was the cherry on top of an already fantastic experience!

Fantastic experience: I spent one week at boot camp at Malvern which I thoroughly enjoyed. My expectations were matched having researched the ‘James Evans Boot Camp’ on various social media platforms. I am neither sporty nor athletic although I have in the past had gym membership and I enjoy swimming. The bootcamp allowed me the opportunity to refocus on my own health and fitness and generally give me a boost. There is good community feel to the bootcamp and strong team ethic is encouraged. Evenings spent with the other boot campers were convivial and allowed us the opportunity to reflect on the day’s activities. Staff are always at hand and are very experienced and knowledgeable in their field. Fifty percent of the boot campers were returnees which was very encouraging and they were also happy to impart their knowledge to the ‘newbies’. There was a wide range of activities available (the great majority of which were new to me) and we boot campers were challenged to reach our potential. James’ standards are high but they are also achievable. The food provided was of a very good standard and was plentiful. There were daily talks based around nutrition and we were provided with information booklets which we took home. I will returning to bootcamp later this year and I am so aware that other activities planned in the near future such as the ‘Three Peaks Challenge’ and a bootcamp-style holiday in Spain. The bootcamp by nature was challenging yet it was a great experience.

Fantastic experience: I joined James and the team in July 2023 and enjoyed the experience so much I booked a return trip before I left. I even convinced my husband to come and get involved this time. We had a fantastic experience with James and Janice. The workouts were fun but gruelling and tailored to our needs. James has fantastic level of knowledge and experience he is keen to share and Janice was a competitive participant in exercises and led us expertly through some much needed recovery sessions. We had a great laugh as a group during the evenings and pushed each other on to achieve more than I thought possible during the day. This return trip has helped to raise my fitness journey to the next level. I can't wait to see what I can achieve ahead of our next Bootcamp!

Fantastic experience: This boot camp is awesome. I joined James gym in 2023 and heard so much about the residentials so had to try them! James caters for everyone and it's so clear him and team care so much! No matter your ability you will have an amazing time and like so many people you will end up making it a yearly thing! Can't wait to go back! Great camp James! Loved it!

Fantastic experience: I've just completed my second bootcamp with James. The first bootcamp I did was in April and I enjoyed this one so much I decided to stay on another week! James is very committed to supporting people of all ages and abilities. There is such a variety of different exercises and activities on camp, James is constantly coming up with new ideas and challenges. He has a fantastic team which includes George and Janis who share his passion for fitness & provide a great support. Overall this is a great bootcamp and I can't wait to go back next year!

Fantastic experience: Just finished my 12 month transformation program. It has made fitness a part of my lifestyle. Thanks you James, Janice and George for the wonderful experience.

Fantastic experience: Awesome 2 weeks at bootcamp! I came to fall back in love with exercise & that’s definitely what happened! Thank you to James, George & Janice for the best experience! Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: This boot camp was exactly what I needed. James and his team completely changed my approach to food and exercise. I absolutely loved the camp. It was really hard at times but James will get you through it and you will feel amazing at the end. If you are looking to lose weight they teach you everything you need to know and really support you. Can’t wait to go back! Thank you so much James

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of James’ gym for 4 years and last year me and my wife started doing the boot camp weeks. It was so much better than what we ever thought it could be! The food was amazing and even though we are very experienced trainers we were still introduced to workouts and styles we have never done before. People came for so many reasons and it was great to train with a huge variety of people. We now make it a yearly thing and it’s just the best! If you are looking for a boot camp that trains you properly and has a real approach to food and weight loss, this is the camp for you! Well done James keep up the good work!
