Seal Pups is our child-specific bootcamp activity program that enables young participants to improve their coordination, cardiovascular fitness, strength, endurance and problem solving through participation in military-inspired exercises as part of a motivational and challenging group. It enables children to experience, first hand, the intrinsic rewards of regular physical activity and, as such, will encourage a lifelong commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

The Seals Pup program can be offered within schools as regular lunchtime sessions, a series of sessions during Physical Education classes, or after school sessions for both parents and children running concurrently.

My involvement with Original Bootcamp and The Living Edge has been life changing. In 2012, I was seeking an outdoor fitness program that would challenge me and improve my fitness, but what I got from it is so much more. It's the best thing I've ever been part of! I've made lifelong friendships, it is a wonderful, supportive network, and I'd recommend it to anyone, no matter what their health and fitness goals are.

Training with The Living Edge has become an integral part of my life over the last few years. The instructors are inspirational, highly skilled and deliver a brilliant program that’s diverse, challenging, motivational and for me and, above all, so much fun! I absolutely love starting my day in the beautiful natural setting of Wattle Park. For me, it’s far more than just physical exercise, it’s had a huge positive effect on my mental and emotional well-being. I’ve made so many friends; it's a true community that encourages, supports and cares for one another. Rain, hail or shine I look forward to each session. It will always be part of my life.

Joining Original Bootcamp with the Living Edge has been the best decision I have ever made. I will admit I went into it somewhat reluctantly, expecting to be pushed well beyond my limits and told to suck it up. What I found however was the most encouraging and inclusive community of people, whose only intent is to see people succeed in whatever they set their mind to. The support, the uplift in spirit and the focus on mindset and improvement at MY pace, has not only increased my physical fitness beyond all of my expectations, it has also filtered into my family and work life, creating a balance that has made me a better father, husband and worker as well as happier more fulfilled individual. Only you can change your health and happiness. The Living Edge will give you the tools and support to put your plan into action.

Nowadays it is not easy to find a place where the sense of community is at the forefront. The Original Bootcamp, lead by Sarge Dave Murray from The Living Edge, ticks this important box. From the first day, one can feel the camaraderie, support and encouragement that uplift the spirit during the hardest part of training or the coldest day of winter. Knowing that I will share an hour with a group of people with the same mindset motivates me every morning. That is just half of the equation because Dave Murray and his team of trainers lead by example, and they are always attentive to how we perform the exercise and that we are doing it the right way.
PedroOriginal Bootcamp recruit
It’s never too late! I started attending Original Bootcamp training with The Living Edge in early 2014, after a 9-year break from regular exercise. I was in my 50’s and unfit by every measure. From the first session I was welcomed and never judged. Every recruit had been through a similar journey and they only offered words of encouragement and advice. Within 6 months I was back to being fit and feeling good about myself. Dave and the other trainers at The Living Edge have created an amazing culture, inclusive of people from all walks of life and occupations. Everyone is equal no matter who you are, and the camaraderie is both infectious and humbling. 8 years of Original Bootcamp with The Living Edge has been life changing for me, it’s that simple!
Paul BirchOriginal Bootcamp recruit
I have been a long- term Bootcamp recruit with The Living Edge for over 12 years and couldn’t imagine my life without it. No two training sessions are the same, so you know your body and mind will always be challenged and never become bored. I love exercising in the early morning fresh air with a connected, like-minded community who encourage and support each other throughout the session. My Original Bootcamp training with The Living Edge sets me up for a positive day!
Jan PalamaraOriginal Bootcamp Recruit
I started training with The Living Edge in 2014. A short break to have my daughter and then I was back to Bootcamp. This is a great outdoor program with a variety of cardio and weight training. The sessions are always varied and well researched which keeps things interesting as well as beneficial fitness wise. The trainers are superb and Sarge Dave Murray is very motivational and supportive of your goals and aspirations. He has created a culture that is more like a community where everyone helps each other out. One of his favourite sayings is ‘together, everyone achieves more’. The support, camaraderie and banter is what keeps me coming back again and again. The Living Edge is so much more than just fitness training for me. It is the medicine for my mental health. Cannot recommend it highly enough!
