FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BOOTCAMP

What is BOOTCAMP?
Boot camp is a challenging, fun, outdoor group exercise program that provides quick results.

Who should enlist?
People of all ages and fitness levels who want to get in great shape FAST! You’ll
never be asked to perform more than you're capable of doing, but you will be pushed to give 100% effort.

What if I'm not very physically fit when I start?
This program is specifically designed to accommodate all fitness levels and make every person feel capable and confident while doing all of the BOOTCAMP exercises. Participants will be given modifications, adaptations and alternatives to accommodate everyone's individual fitness level. The program is very diversified, this allows for change and anticipation towards each and every day, knowing that no day will ever be the same!! Our goal is to let you look forward to your next BOOTCAMP class!

NOBODY will be left behind or asked to complete more than they are capable of doing safely. All exercises will be modified to meet your needs and limitations. More than likely you won’t be the most fit person at camp, nor the most out of shape. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses so each activity will be more challenging for some and easier for others. Don’t worry about others in camp. Just do YOUR best!

What is a typical workout like?
Well, there isn’t a typical workout. No workout is repeated during your four weeks of training. We keep your interest and your curiosity levels high in anticipation of the workouts. Each session will different in order to prevent boredom and to keep your body from adapting to the workouts. When your body adapts (which it does very quickly) your results grind to a halt. The workouts are designed to incorporate full body exercises and body weight resistance to maximize calorie and fat burning.  See photos here.

What types of activities are included in BOOTCAMP?
We do everything from running/walking (less than 1 mile), weight training (upper and lower body), core conditioning, abdominal work, calisthenics, plyometrics, circuit training, stretching and more! Everyday is a little different from the day before and you will get a complete workout every session!

Exercises include: push ups, shoulder presses, bicep curls, tricep kickbacks, dips, lunges, squats, crunches, the plank, jumping jacks, jumping rope, running/walking, mountain climbers, step ups, and more...  See photos here.

What if I can’t perform a certain exercise?
We will give you a modified exercise and low-impact drills as an alternative.

How soon will I see results?
Performance improvement can take place in as little as a couple days. "Visual Improvement" can take several weeks depending on your effort level. It's very possible to go down 1-2 sizes within the first camp - particularly if you are monitoring your diet.  The more effort you put forth, the greater your results.  A strict diet will effectively TRIPLE YOUR RESULTS in the same time period (than if you are not making healthy dietary changes)  Don't fool yourself on how important diet is in your overall results. Remember, everyone's body is different so your results will be unique to you! Everyone is expected to progress. If you aren't, then you're not putting in the effort, watching your food intake or you're missing bootcamp.

What do I need to bring?

- An exercise mat or large towel
- A bottle of water
- Running shoes
- Workout/sweat towel
- A pair of lightweight dumbbells (5-10 lbs for women and 8-12 lbs for men)
- Weight-lifting gloves are recommended

The current session already started... can I still join or do I have to wait until the next 4 week session starts?
You can join at any time. If you join for the first time more than 1 week after the starting date, you can pay a prorated fee, and then continue on with monthly packages in the future. The prorating discount is only available the first time you join. Email us for details.

What do I do after my first 4 week session of bootcamp?
Most of our bootcampers are so happy with how much better they look and feel (and how fun our classes are) that they keep enrolling month after month.  Many of our bootcampers have been with us for more than 1 year!  Remember, this isn't just four weeks and you're done.  Our bootcamp is a reoccurring four week fitness program.  Fitness isn't just for a specified period of time, it's a lifestyle!  Don't think you'll get results in four weeks and then that's it!  Make exercise and a healthy diet part of your everyday lifestyle and you'll will have a rockin body, an abundance of energy and a happy, healthy life!  That's the type of person we'd love to have join our program.  So, if that's you...then secure your spot today.
