A FIREFIGHTER is setting up a military-style bootcamp to get people fit.

Matt Stirland, 30, a firefighter with Durham Fire Brigade, was praised by the Entrepreneurs’ Forum for his Streetlife Youth Fitness organisation, which gets young people involved in health and fitness.

He has now recruited a team of Army fitness instructors to help adults shape up.

Initially Mr Stirland, from Guisborough, plans to run the Military Fitness Group sessions in the Tees Valley, but plans to roll them out across the region.

For further details, contact Mr Stirland on 07816-782357 or 01642-438849, or email him at getfit@militaryfitnessgroup.
