Master Bootcamp, another form of boutique fitness, has its basecamp at GBK (Gelora Bung Karno), Jakarta. The workout originated from the idea of having an outdoor group exercise, emphasizing in total body workout experience; a combination of exercises that move together all body parts within a single hour. The participants is varied from 16 to 55 year-olds, most who are bored with indoor exercises.

Currently Master Bootcamp only has one session every week which falls on Saturdays from 6 to 7 a.m. 35-year-old Carlo Tamba, founder of Master Bootcamp who also happens to be a CrossFit coach told us that morning time in Jakarta is still considerably safe from air pollution. Carlo also noted the safety factor for the participants: GBK is a gated area where vehicles can’t roam freely on the streets.
