Bootcamp BR2: outdoor fitness in Bromley
Coached outdoor group sessions at Park House Rugby Club on Barnet Wood Road, mornings, evenings and weekends. Open to every age and fitness level. Plenty of members hadn’t trained since school.
From £9 a session. Start with the Trial Experience.
Training on Barnet Wood Road
Bootcamp BR2 runs at Park House Rugby Club, Barnet Wood Road, Bromley BR2 7AA. Most sessions are on the grounds there, with Wednesday evenings and Sunday morning at Beccehamians Rugby Club in West Wickham.
It’s an easy run over from Bromley, Hayes, Keston and Orpington, and there’s parking at the club, which makes the early sessions considerably more realistic on a dark morning.
Bootcamp BR2 is part of Bootcamp SE16, which has been running outdoor sessions since 2013. Same coaching approach, same welcome, different park.
Sessions have to be booked
Everybody starts with a phone call, and every session is booked in advance. Each one has a coach, a plan and a limited number of places, so we always know who is coming.
Your first time with us is always the Trial Experience, and we speak to you on the phone before it starts. That call is where we find out how long it has been, what’s sore, and which sessions actually fit around your week. It takes a few minutes and it’s the reason nobody arrives at a session that’s wrong for them.
Book the Trial Experience below and we’ll call you to sort the rest.
Session times in Bromley
Every session is an hour. Book as many as your membership covers.
Fourteen sessions a week at Park House and Beccehamians rugby clubs, seven days a week, from early mornings to evenings, every one an hour long. Call 07496 871663 or send us a WhatsApp and we’ll tell you which suits you best.
What it’s like
Functional strength, conditioning and intervals using kettlebells, bands, bodyweight and whatever the coach has brought along. Adapted on the spot for everyone in the session.
Adapted, not watered down
Coaches give alternatives for mobility issues, injuries and dodgy knees. The session still challenges you. It just doesn’t punish you for what your body currently does.
A real mix of people
Men and women, twenties through sixties, some training for years and some who joined last month. Different coaches take different sessions, so the week never gets stale.
Outside, whatever the weather
Rain, cold, and the odd bit of snow. Members who started in autumn and got through the winter are usually the ones who tell you how much has changed.
What Bromley members say
Public Google reviews from the BR2 group.
“At 62 I joined in the October and made it through the winter. The trainers and community made it so simple and enjoyable. My strength is so much more improved.”
“Getting back to exercise after two hip surgeries I was nervous, but everyone has been so lovely and there is no judgement. The instructors helped me get my confidence back.”
“It is a friendly environment and all are welcome. There are a good number of men as well. The workouts are tailor made and there are adaptions for people who have mobility issues.”
Where to find us
Bootcamp BR2 runs at two grounds. Check the timetable for which one your session is at before you set off.
Park House Rugby Club, Barnet Wood Road, Bromley BR2 7AA. Most sessions are here. The club sits near Keston Mark, a few minutes from the A21, and there’s parking on site.
Beccehamians Rugby Club, Sparrows Den, Corkscrew Hill, West Wickham BR4 9BB. The two Wednesday evening sessions and the Sunday morning one are here. They’re marked Beccehamians on the timetable. For all of them, meet by the shipping container next to the car park.
If it’s your first time we’ll tell you exactly where on the grounds to head for when we speak to you.
Also training in Canada Water
Bootcamp SE16 is the original group, training at Stave Hill Ecological Park in Canada Water since 2013. If south east London is easier for you than Bromley, that’s the one to look at.
