“The Booticamp team put me on a ‘Clean Eating’ meal plan and I attended up to four classes a week.

“My first goal was to get below 13 stone, after achieving that I set myself a new goal to get fit enough to apply to join The Royal Navy. To be able to do that I had to get my body mass index (BMI) to below 28 and raise my fitness levels.

“With commitment and dedication I managed to get my weight to 10 stone 12 pounds and was able to finally start the application process for my future career.

“I am now, not only a very proud member of the Booticamp team but I’m also delighted to say that will be starting my career in the Royal Navy later this month.”
