Plan a bootcamp workout session.
A bootcamp runs as a rotation, so the timing depends on stations rather than participants — everyone works simultaneously and rotates together. One circuit is the number of stations times work plus rotation time, three circuits is a typical session, and ninety seconds between circuits allows for a drink and a reset. Participants per station drives equipment needs: two people per station means either pairing up or doubling the kit.
Bootcamp rotation timing
Circuit seconds = stations x (work + rotation rest); session = 3 circuits + 90 s between each; participants per station = ceil(participants / stations)
These figures are population-average estimates for training and recreational planning only and are not medical advice. Individual responses vary widely. Consult a qualified health professional before starting or significantly changing an exercise programme, particularly if you have any medical condition. Official dimensions, rules and timings should be confirmed against the governing body for your sport.
Six to eight works well for a group of a dozen: enough variety to keep the session moving without needing large amounts of equipment.
Forty-five minutes including warm-up and cool-down suits most groups. Three circuits of six stations at 45 seconds fills roughly half an hour of working time.
Pair people up to alternate, or add a bodyweight station that needs no equipment. The rotation timing stays the same.
