April BootCamp is Underway!

Our April BootCamp started today. We've got a full class, too!

Several have already asked about our May BootCamp. If you are interested, please contact Carolyn Schulenburg and we'll work it into our schedule.
  • "What do we do in BootCamp?"
  • "I haven't exercised in years - is this for me?"
  • "I've heard that there's a diet part - what's that about?"
  • "I've tried everything - will I really lose weight?" 

BootCamp uses dynamic exercises (kettlebells, resistance bands, sandbags and more!) to bring out the best in your body's ability to build new muscle and lose fat.  Dynamic exercises are more "real world" than simply lifting weights. By creating motion with each set, we activate many different muscles throughout the body, creating "gentle instabilities" to work the trunk, legs, arms and more.

Sets are typically only one minute long, with a minute rest in between. Each student works at their own pace within the set, working at a comfortable level - all the while being encouraged to try to squeeze out "one more rep".

There is usually quite a range of fitness in each class, but there is no competition. It's all about challenging yourself, pushing to do a little better and watching your body grow stronger each week - that's the fun part!

"I lost 3.5 inches from my waist and 1 inch from my arms - and 4 pounds!" - C.S.

BootCamp requires you to eat well, too, showing you how to craft a healthy eating program that works with your exercise to reach your goals in the most efficient way possible! You will learn about nutrition, how your body utilizes food for both immediate energy and long term storage. Getting the most out of your grocery dollar, learning how to interpret food labels, making wise eating choices - these are all part of the BootCamp "diet".

During one of the first classes, you will be weighed and measured, have your blood pressure checked, you will learn about BMI and %Fat - in short, you'll have a pretty good picture of where you are health and fitness-wise. You'll find out what the optimum calories are for your frame and your goals - and  you'll discover the best proportions of Fats, Carbs and Protein to eat for the best health.

"You will work your butt off - literally - but if you stick with it and dedicate yourself to the nutrition that is best for you, you WILL see results!" - M.S.

Everyone is different when it comes to weight loss. We can't guarantee you will lose weight - some students have come to BootCamp with the goal of adding weight, building some muscle! We can promise that, if you follow the eating suggestions and workout with us 3 times a week, you will lose fat and gain muscle.

And, yes, for most of our students, that means you will lose weight!

"I lost a total of 10 pounds in 4 weeks!" - K.S.

Our overriding concern is your health and fitness - and we know from personal experience that if we're not having a good time with our exercise program we simply won't do it. BootCamp is dedicated to the idea that you WILL have a good time, you WILL get the exercise you need and you WILL start to develop a healthier lifestyle!

That's our goal.

Fun Fact:  "Given the same volume, muscle is much denser, much heavier than fat. In other words, 140 pounds of "mostly muscle" looks way trimmer than 140 pounds of "mostly fat"!"
