I can recommend the boot camp sessions ran by Go commando they run classes at Coundon park and cardinal Newman school
Brilliant work outs and you meet some really nice people
Ive had to give up due to work commitments
but I started running again on the 4th of January done a few 5 mile runs but am doing 6 now and will add more miles and change routes so not to get bored
Also came out of 5aside retirement last week
Lost almost 4 stone over the last 3 years but put half a stone on over the last 5 months
I have a personal trainer and try to use the gym three times a week as well but work is getting in the way at the moment, it helps at my gym that we have some stunners that go there helps me run faster and hold my stomach in
Used various gyms over the years but got pissed off by all of them mainly due to the people who use them. Groups of lads who would take over a bench or a piece of equipment and not want to share it used to wind me up. Then there was always the New Year rush when the place would be mobbed and nothing would be available.
Realised I was paying a monthly membership, going three times a week straight from work, and not doing the exercises I wanted because the weights/equipment was always being used by someone else.
In the end I decided to get my own equipment off e bay and set it up in the garage with a TV and it works perfectly for me. Just spent two hours in there doing weights, using a concept 2 rower and cycling on a turbo trainer while watching Wheeler Dealers. If you are prepared to pick the equipment up second hand there are some real bargains to be had.
Because they don't break into a sweat, they lift the lightest weights and take selfies.
The worst ones are the ones who keep lifting up their t shirts to look if they have a 6 pack. Most of the pricks could do with a proper meal inside them.

Hate to say it, but it was the wifes idea. Never thought I would be motivated enough to do it at home but its been working well for a couple of years now.

Yes I love it and can't imagine life without it now! I've been doing it since my teens but a nasty wrist injury playing football stopped me having any chance of doing something more with it. These days I do it for fitnesa and for the sheer enjoyment of it.
I just turned 31 and so am a similar age to your son. It's amazing how it can have such an impact on your life in terms of confidence and self-discipline and fitness, of course.
Your son certainly isn't too old and I know people in their late 50s who still box for the fitness side of it.
The first few sessions will wipe him out completely but you just have to keep going; the high he will experience will make sure of that I'm sure!!
Good news as my son is well up for it and I contacted Gil and we're sorting out some sessions at his home at first as he's got his own gym there. I'll let you know how it goes ! cheers.
I'm not sure what you'd define as a 'huge headphone' but I can say that if I try to wear in-ear headphones I very quickly get excruciating pain in my ears, (nothing to do with volume, they could as well be silent) so I don't do that, I only use over-ear headphones.
