Road trip! Coming down to Brighton tonight

Last week, I was invited down to try a British Military Fitness class in Brighton, so today I’ll be packing my beach gear and heading down to the coast. Really interested to see if it’ll be any different, and if the fresh sea air will help me attain new heights of physical achievement*.

I’ll be at the 6PMPreston Park class.

If you’re a BMF member based in Brighton, come and say hi! And if you’re not, why not come down tonight and do a free trial lesson? I’ll be taking pics for the blog, so chances are you could be famous tomorrow**!

I’ll also be giving away 3 copies of the BMF: ‘My Fitness Instructor’ iPhone app at the session – to win one, just find me and say ‘You’re a Big Fat Geek, and I claim my free app’. See you on the grass!

*Yeah, it’s pretty unlikely.

Happy holiday to all of you! Hope you enjoy your long weekend. If you’re looking for something to do, between scarfing down chocolate eggs and feeling slightly sick, why not enter our iPad competition? Personally, I’m going to see Kick Ass again. Awesome film. See you on the other side!

BREAKING NEWS: For the Easter period, the British Military Fitness App, ‘My Fitness Instructor’ has been reduced to £5.99/$9.99! Get it here!

Groo, Monday morning. Well, technically it’s Monday afternoon now. I blame the clocks going forward. Still, the one benefit of losing an hour’s worth of sleep yesterday was that it’s now a little brighter in the evenings – which means exercising outdoors will be a lot less challenging. (more…)

Well after months of hard work, blood (not mine), sweat (mostly mine) and tears (only mine), my first iPhone app, ‘My Fitness Instructor‘ is finally in the App Store! Hooray!

I think we’ve managed to put together a really competitive premium app, and you can read all about it on our official app site. Suffice to say, it includes over 5,000,000 fully-voiced work outs (enough to do one a day for the next 13,000 years), a fully featured fitness test, a heart-rate monitor, and video demonstrations of all the exercises.

The App in action..

What’s even better though, is that we’ve got 5 copies to give away. So if you fancy winning one, just post the message below on you Facebook or Twitter account, and I’ll pick 5 of you at random.

Good luck!

Competition closes Friday 2nd April

Surely you can do better than this pathetic attempt?

Hey you! Yes, you! Want to be famous? Well we’re offering you the chance – because we want to witness your fitness! We’re looking for photos of people in unusual places exercising while listening to their iPod or iPhone. We’ve got British Military Fitness: My Fitness Instructor Apps to give away, and the best photographer will also win a shiny new Apple iPad… (more…)

People often come up to me, and say: “Excuse me, you’re blocking the door”. But other, different, people often come up to me and say: “Jon, what music can I exercise to? What will get the blood pumping and the feet flying?” For them, and for you, I present my music to exercise to playlist. (more…)

Mmm, comfy.

According to Fitness First, you should “have an easy week every 4-5 weeks, where you only do half your usual workout”. Now admittedly, it doesn’t go on to say:”And you should probably also go out on the piss every night”, but I’m just going to take that as read.

A testing time...

So after months of hard work behind the scenes, it was finally time to see if it had been worth all the wait. It was time to put the British Military Fitness iPhone App I’d been working on through its paces. Or at least, let it put me through its paces… (more…)

Last night we had a really good session led by Lucy in Peckham Rye Park, which I then followed with a really good session in the pub. (more…)

Today I thought I’d have a quick trawl around YouTube and pull out some interesting fitness videos. Some are funny, some are impressive, some are just eyeball-meltingly odd.
