Following major knee surgery in April 2011, I wanted a challenge to help me get back in shape. Together with my friend Sarah Nicholson we created a cycle trip to explore along the Mekong river in Lao.

We flew to Chaing Mai in Thailand along with our bikes and a handful of clothes. On arrival we had to put our bikes together and then the adventure started.

The plan was to see as much of Lao as possible so we traveled on a combination of bike, bus and boat.

We visited the golden triangle, stayed in a tree house on a 50m tree and zipped around on 400m wires, stayed a night with a Cambodian family, learned to be a mahout at an elephant village, saw the rare Irawaddy dolphins, and had many coctails with the sun setting over the Mekong.

We traveled over 3000 km with nearly 1000 of this on the bike.

Here’s some pics from along our journey….

Roy, 53
The boot camp classes gave me an intense and structured programme that helped me to lose 11 pounds in weight and 4 inches off my waist in a month. The motivation, support and guidance given was invaluable. I feel so much better and although it was hard work it was great fun and I cannot wait to sign up again.”
Thanks for all your hard work and encouragement. I really feel as though I am getting somewhere now.

The boot camp has inspired and motivated me to work harder than I have ever done before. It is great fun, really hard work but you leave with a real feeling of satisfaction and achievement. I have lost weight and at least 3inches from my bum, I feel more positive and confident and have developed the ability to train so much harder on my own. I just love it and I never thought in a million years I would!!!!

Julie …..Blood, sweat and tears!
Jo’s training sessions are inspirational and accessible to every level of fitness. No blood, plenty of sweat and only tears of joy at the attainable results. Group camaraderie, motivation, excellent tuition and advice in a friendly environment.

I have been coming to Samson and Delilahs on and off since 1999. Over the past 2 or 3 years I have been attending on a more regular basis and just exercising on my own and having no real goals to aim for.
I have recently joined the early morning “Boot camp” sessions with Jo and I am really enjoying it. Jo works us hard, we have a laugh together and at the end we are exhausted but exhilarated. I try to do this 4 times a week.
Age is no barrier as I am in my mid sixties.
The results achieved by members of our group is fantastic. This is certainly the way forward if you want to tone up your body and lose weight.

I crawl in half asleep, I leave 1 hour later knackered and somewhere in between it becomes an awesome workout that is lots of fun. I’ve lost half a stone and inches off my waistline, so I will carry on….I might be coming addicted !!
