Anyone can take part, and you don’t

have to be in great shape. Having

a bit of guts is more important than

having perfect glutes – or even

knowing where to find them!

It’s a serious workout, based on

military exercises, that will get

you up with the birds and push you

beyond your comfort zone for an

intensely challenging hour – that’s

also a lot of fun!

And, as if all that gung-ho

camaraderie and competition isn’t

enough to give you a boot along,

Every year the Les Mills charity Bootcamp pits

corporate, agency, and celebrity teams against

each other in a full-on physical and mental challenge

three mornings a week for four weeks.

there’s the added knowledge that

you’re doing it all for a great cause.

All teams raise funds for this year’s

charity: Big Brothers Big Sisters

of New Zealand – the world’s most

successful mentoring programme

for kids.

Les Mills BIG BOOTCAMP kicks

off in central Auckland from 26th

October, so get a team of eight

(plus two subs) together and enlist.

There’s only room for 18 teams – so

make sure you rally your troops and

get in quick!

An introduction to

When your team enrols you’ll be given details and some fundraising tips. Each member does their bit for the cause. With a maximum of 144 recruits, we need everyone to go as hard out on the fundraising as they do at Les Mills BIG BOOTCAMP.

We’re setting our sights high. Our goal this year is to raise

$100,000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters of New Zealand to get its Auckland operation up and running.

Big Brothers Big Sisters has been going for more than 100 years and helps over 300,000 kids around the world each year to reach their potential by matching them up with a one-on-one mentor.

Mentors and kids meet a few times per month for a couple of hours each time, to share similar interests. They might kick a ball around, watch a movie, visit a museum, cheer on a local sports team or simply hang out.

Here in New Zealand more than 500 young people aged 7-17 are matched up with a mentor in one of the 13 Big Brothers Big Sisters of New Zealand

programmes operating around the country each year.

As the country’s largest city, Auckland has a high proportion of children living on or below the poverty line. The funds raised will help Big Brothers Big Sisters of New Zealand get their Auckland programme going.

Les Mills BIG BOOTCAMP will give your fitness a big boot along. Just one hour three mornings a week for four weeks will energise, inspire, and challenge you to reach new personal fitness highs.

Mentors get huge enjoyment in seeing a world of possibilities open up through the child’s eye.

The money we raise will help Big Brothers Big Sisters of New Zealand kickstart its Auckland programme and set up 50 Auckland matches between kids and mentors.

This is just the start of creating a strong presence in the country’s largest city.
