SEAL Challenge Testimonials

Laura Beschi 
At the commencement of the SEAL Challenge I was promised that I would walk away a changed person. Initially, I thought that this may mean the new limits that I could push my body to – but upon reflection, it was much more than this.
SEAL challenge has encouraged me never to settle for mediocrity either in my training or my work. In my profession, it is my responsibility to set goals and aspirations for young adults. SEAL reminded me that I am the driving force behind these goals and these students will only ever achieve the level of expectations that I set for them. If I am happy for them to perform at an average level – that’s what I’ll get. However, if I raise the bar and encourage the fostering of intrinsic motivation just as the staff did on the Challenge, then there really is no limit to their level of performance.
Personally, I now know how much harder I can train during Bootcamp and I also have a new level of performance to live up to. When I consider the challenges we faced during the 24 hour Challenge, choosing a heavier weight or increasing my energy output for an hour really is a walk in the park.
I would like to thank Consort for their belief in my ability to complete the Challenge as well as willingly accepting that I would whinge the whole time about how cold it was! The organisation and execution of the Challenge was flawless much to the credit of the Staff at Consort Fitness.. |

Thanks for an awesome experience over the weekend. Whilst at the time I hated it and wondered why I willingly said I would do this, I have come away on a high from the experience. It was one of the toughest things I have ever done not to mention the pain (including current). You guys did such a great job of running and organising the SEAL challenge even though on more than one occasion I was extremely frustrated and will be happy if I never ever have to pack and unpack a pack again!!
Thanks so much for believing in me because to be honest, if I knew what was involved at the start I would have thought that I couldn't make it and probably would have been too scared to give it a shot. I am so happy I did. |

I just wanted to say thanks for what was a once in a lifetime experience (I say once, as you'd be crazy to do it again). It never ceases to amaze me what we can put the body (and mind) through.
I'm back at work now and it's been easier to tell people which parts of the body aren't sore, but personally I think the pain is all worth it. I've been telling them what we did, and all I get back is a blank stare and a 'why?'! It's not until you complete something like this that makes you realise the importance of pushing yourself and never giving up. I now can't help but think 'bring it on' to any challenge!
I definitely have a new found respect for anyone who chooses to join any military service and completes similar training sessions that's for sure! And you guys as instructors... I think the military has many of its best! Their loss, our gain! What you guys put us through was fantastic! It was organised, well structured and even the location was perfect!
So, once more thanks for the experience and opportunity. |

This 24 hour task was something I have always longed for. I have been to gyms still see a p/t once a week and find I get hardly anything out of it
Joining your Bootcamp is exactly what I have always been looking, your instructors are fantastic! you never miss a thing and always include everyone.
Loved the 24 hour SEAL Challenge all aspects of it except for that chess board memory exercise, I had lost my mind at that stage and had no hope of getting it, couldn’t think or concentrate at all so I found that the hardest and also found a few instructors very tough!! They played their part so well.
Also the pack march I felt I was in a bad dream saying to myself "i am a F***ing d***head for paying to punish myself" but I tell you what 2 days later I wished I was back again.
In my mind this just goes two show what a fantastic job you guys did and I cant speak highly enough about Consort Fitness. |
