BOOTCAMP RETREAT INSTRUCTOR- KEVIN HUGHES
Kevin Hughes began his love of fitness at age 7 at the local
‘youth centre’ and by age 16 he was coaching the juniors in basic
fitness techniques including gymnastics. Over the past 20 years
Kevin has been working in logistics for large corporations, most of
this time has been spent with people, training and motivating them.
Having studied personality types and body language, Kevin really
knows how to get individuals moving.
Lighten Up Health & Fitness was established after years of
observation and frustration at the poor techniques observed in
gyms. As the founder of Lighten Up Health & Fitness, Kevin
knows that gyms can be intimidating places for many people which is
why his programs are flexible in delivery. Kevin’s goal is to get
you fit for everyday life!
Kevin’s bootcamps will draw your motivation, will and desire
from within and help you challenge and support you to do things you
never thought possible.
While a hard workout will produce some amazing results Kevin
believes that enjoyment should always be the key motivator. Kevin’s
unique approach will ensure you have fun while you are achieving.
“Be serious about your goal but don’t take yourself too seriously,
lighten up, have fun and get fit”.
Boot camps are fun! There is something unique about working
either as a pair, a couple, mother & daughter, father &
son, friends or as a group in a boot camp. Unlike a normal class
where you go as an individual, working closely with someone you
know and respect provides a unique opportunity to feed off each
other. They, laugh, push, pull and even give each other a hard
time. And when it’s all over they smile at each other as they
reflect upon their achievements.
So…………. you want to try a boot camp? Come along and enjoy the
unique bootcamp setting at Yera and at the end of the day lay back
and relax with a full body massage to rest those weary muscles. But
don’t get too relaxed there’s more work to be done.
