Original Bootcamp

Original Bootcamp is a German outdoor fitness brand that specializes in group personal training conducted entirely outdoors. The company was founded in November 2009 by Saskia in the Cologne Stadtwald as a women-only "Bikini Bootcamp," inspired by functional strength training outdoors as practiced in the United States. In 2011, the concept was rebranded and expanded into Original Bootcamp, offering co-ed outdoor fitness sessions across Germany. The brand's core offering is a structured 8-week outdoor fitness bootcamp program that combines HIIT (high-intensity interval training) with functional strength work using kettlebells and other equipment. Sessions take place in parks and outdoor spaces in all weather conditions, 365 days a year, emphasizing fresh air, team spirit, and professional coaching. Original Bootcamp operates through a network of certified trainers—referred to as "Bootie Trainers"—and has expanded to numerous cities across Germany, with additional fitness retreats in various European locations. The company positions itself as a provider of group personal training that is fun, effective, and suitable for all fitness levels, backed by a money-back guarantee. As of the official website, the brand claims 227 trainers and presence in 52 cities, with 98% of participants recommending it. Original Bootcamp remains a private, active brand in the outdoor fitness sector.

Original Bootcamp was founded in November 2009 by Saskia in the Cologne Stadtwald as a women-only "Bikini Bootcamp." The idea was inspired by functional strength training outdoors as practiced in the United States. The first participants, called "Booties," trained bravely in cold weather. After more than a year of successful women-only bootcamps, the concept was rebranded in 2011 as Original Bootcamp, with a new look and expanded services. Certified "Bootie Trainers" began offering co-ed outdoor fitness sessions in many German cities. The brand also introduced fitness retreats to various European destinations. The company continues to develop its group personal training concept and expand to new cities. As of the official website, Original Bootcamp has 227 trainers and operates in 52 cities, with 98% of participants recommending it.
