Retired Lieutenant Colonel helping Milton Keynes locals achieve new
levels of fitness!
27th May 2014: A retired Acting Lieutenant Colonel, who lives in West Bletchley, has
taken on the challenge of helping Milton Keynes residents get in shape through
outdoor fitness. Graham Pennie, who served in the military for a staggering 38 years,
is now a British Military Fitness (BMF) instructor after retiring from the Armed Forces
in 2012.
56-year-old Graham, originally from Nairn in Scotland, enlisted in the army in 1975 at
just 17-years-old after spending his childhood moving around the world with his
military father. He served 38 years of exceptional military service, rising up the ranks
and acquiring the impressive title of Acting Lieutenant Colonel in 2012. Shortly after,
Graham retired from the Armed Forces and has since been putting his skills to good
use, recently taking up the post of BMF instructor for Willen Lake and Campbell Park.
Graham Penny commented on his time at BMF: “After a long and fulfilling career in
the Armed Forces, I wanted to make sure I stayed fit and active. Working for British
Military Fitness allows me to use the skills I have learnt whilst helping other people,
which I love to do.”
“So far I’m really enjoying being a part of the challenge. Bringing new and refreshing
exercises to local people and ensuring the individuals are stimulated physically,
whilst working as a team, to achieve their fitness goals is great to see. The positive
feedback from an individual who has achieved a new level of fitness gives me a real
buzz and I look forward to continuing to help people lead an active lifestyle.”

British Military Fitness (BMF) is the UK’s number one provider of outdoor fitness
classes. BMF was the first, it’s the biggest and it’s the best.
Come rain, shine or snow, BMF delivers more than 400 classes a week in over 140
parks and outdoor spaces across the UK.
The experts in outdoor fitness
British Military Fitness has spent 15 years developing its outdoor group fitness
classes to be highly effective, but also great fun.
British Military Fitness instructors work to a standard not a formula – every session is
unique and designed to challenge, offering variety of exercises and terrain. Each
class is tailored to match the ability and fitness level of each particular group and to
make full use of the outdoor space available.
Fun and challenging classes
At British Military Fitness members find that the classes make them work harder that
they would do by themselves and they enjoy the camaraderie of their classmates. A
blend of individual, partner and team activities and exercises keep classes interesting
and invigorating.
High quality instructors
Our 600+ instructors are serving or former members of the armed forces, and hold
military or civilian fitness qualifications. Throughout their military careers BMF
instructors were encouraged to be the best they could be and to achieve as much as
possible through hard work, a positive attitude, and maximum effort at all times. This
is the approach adopted at British Military Fitness and members experience the
distinctive motivational style (and irrepressible banter) of instructors from the very
first session.
