Instructor’s Biography/Testimonials

The Beach Boot Camp is hosted by Debi Arnold, an ITEC qualified (anatomy and physiology) fitness instructor with a recently updated level 4 certificate in Obesity, Diabetes and Weight Management. Debi has enjoyed a career spanning 25 years both in the UK and overseas in health related fitness roles from gym instructor to personal trainer. “Of all the different threads of health and fitness my greatest enjoyment is seeing somebody change their life having made some minor tweaks that last a lifetime – coupled with the knowledge they need to make immediate changes that in a matter of days make them feel brand new”

For the record – Debi is not your typical fitness instructor, a love of food, bubbly wine and a preference for a sun-lounger rather than hard core exercise would probably sum up an ideal existence, however the reality of aches and pains driven by childhood back problems, a neck fracture, extraordinarily low blood pressure and a propensity to be chubby (bubbly wine?) has lead to a lifetime of daily challenges in which both food and exercise now play a major role in and around the real world.

‘Being overweight and feeling old with aches and pains is not an option for me, and despite physical or practical hurdles, I quickly realised doing ‘something’ was better than doing nothing. It comes down to personal choice, we can all decide to do something – or do nothing, whatever our age or condition.’

And her students agree;
