"Words From Michelle"

When I first heard of boot camp I was skeptical. I wasn’t sure what to expect. I figured I have nothing to lose seen how first class is free and I gave it a try. Within five minutes of my first boot camp class I realized how beneficial it was going to be for me. I have always been a runner, but when it comes to lifting weights that is a major area of weakness. Boot camp uses muscles that you don’t even realize you have. A lot of the class focuses on body weight resistance routines.

Even at the moments when you are exhausted and you feel like you want to stop, Mike and Ron are there to encourage you. I have worked out with trainers in the past, but have never been as pleased as I am with Mike and Ron. They design workouts every week that are extremely challenging, but achievable. Each week the classes continue to get harder, which is fantastic because you continue to test your own body. You are able to see success every week in yourself.

About a month ago I had a very bad back injury. I was lifting some boxes, heard three pops and dropped to the ground. Turns out I did a lot of damage. After the tremendous pain went away one of my first thoughts was…..boot camp! I had to spend almost a month on the hard wood floor, with obviously no type of exercise. I was devastated that I was going to miss four weeks of boot camp. To think of all of my hard work that I already achieved was going to be gone was so upsetting. I e-mailed Mike and Ron to let them know I would be missing a lot of classes, and they were so supportive and just wanted me to get better. Throughout the month I heard several times from both Mike and Ron checking in to see how I felt, and give me some encouraging words. I missed boot camp for the entire month, and was counting down the days until I could come back. When I was able to return, Mike and Ron modified some of the workouts so I could participate in all activities. I never thought that I would be the type of person that would miss working out, but in all honesty I didn’t miss running, I missed boot camp. The classes are small which have several benefits; you can receive individual attention while working out and you can develop a friendship with the other people in your class. Every week I look forward to not only working out, but to seeing everyone in the class.

I highly recommend boot camp to everyone! It is an experience that is like no other. All of the hard work is worth it when you look in the mirror and see the results. Mike and Ron are the best trainers! I will be a life time member of boot camp.
