Meet Our Team
KRISTA BRIDGES - FITNESS & NUTRITION GEEK, ORGANIZER, HUFFLEPUFF
Krista is originally from Connecticut, USA. She is a Premier Global certified personal trainer, group fitness instructor, qualified in pre-post natal training and nutrition coaching.
She quit her previous career in marketing & events to move to London for her Personal Training diploma. Leaving agency-land allowed her to start fresh and focus on business pipe-dreams (like this one) in pursuit of new adventures, passion projects and helping others discover their true potential.
Outside of class she plays dodgeball for Edinburgh and internationally with Dodgeball Scotland. She is easily distracted by puppies (especially german shepherds, huskies, labs... anything big enough to rugby tackle). Breakfast is her favorite meal of the day. Brunch is an excuse for second breakfast (ie. Elevensies)
DAVID MEIGHAN - CARB-O-VORE, DODGEBALLER, RULES & REGS HANDLER
David is originally from Edinburgh, Scotland and loves to be active. He happily manages all of our policy terms, conditions and legal bits that Krista passes over to his desk.
He is usually willing to give any movement-based activity a try once. Breakfast. Brunch. Food in general is also an important aspect of his life. Particularly anything bread related.
While you may hear him whining during any set of core-work, if you give him a long stretch of field or track to sprint, he'll be the first to finish. Dave excels at running and endurance training. He has completed innumerable marathons, half-marathons, 5K & 10Ks. He is currently looking at which of the next Abbott Majors races he can aim for... New York, Chicago... Tokyo?!
The Bootcamp Brunch Story
We are a social fitness club who enjoy keeping active and surrounding ourselves with a positive community of fellow brunch lovers. What started as a way to meet new people who shared a love for keeping active and socializing, evolved into something much more.
​
Bootcamp Brunch believes in physical and social movement, supporting local independent businesses, creating accessible fitness opportunities for the community and continuing to create a welcoming space for all members.
​
Bootcamp Brunch was originally conceived as a business idea while Krista worked with classmates on a group project during her personal training certification coursework. The idea stuck in her heart, and she carried it to Galway, Ireland where Bootcamp Brunch officially launched in 2017.
We now host live and virtual fitness classes, with our members across the globe. Sundays are always free / donation based, followed by time to catch-up over a coffee.
​
Bootcamp Brunch is always looking to partner with local fitness professionals, cafés, and artists.
