I was talking to a friend of mine today and telling her about my new adventure in fitness. I was excitedly telling her about the program and all of its benefits when she turned to me and asked, "But, what the heck IS Boot Camp? Are you yelling and telling them to drop and give you 20? Why would anyone want to do that?! Couldn't we just join a gym?"
Well, for anyone who's curious, here's the answer:
2009 is all about budget-friendly, time-efficient and fun workouts. People like to get in, have a great workout that is intense, time and cost efficient, and get out. Boot camps ARE time-efficient, cost effective and offer a “change of pace from the traditional workout experience". The workouts, which incorporate moves like lunges, push-ups and squats, also challenge people in a way that’s empowering. But results also have a lot to do with it. It's hard work to get in shape.
Yes, you can "just join a gym". You could sign a contract, get the monthly membership fee withdrawn automatically from your account and never have to answer to anyone. But, would you know what to do once you get there? Most people would get on a treadmill, or stairmaster or some other machine, work out there for 20 -30 minutes and think they were done.
People are doing shorter workouts; usually in 10-minute circuit workouts. The idea is to get away from the traditional 45-minute to an hour workout, three sets of this, three sets of that. While more health clubs are offering 30-minute versions of group fitness classes, such as Pilates, step, and body pump, boot camps are something entirely different. Some might join a class like spinning or aerobics and be part of the "crowd". But, if you decided to skip class one night, would anyone miss you? Nope, you just lose the money you paid to be there. With our boot camp, you are accountable ... to yourself! If you miss a class, we'll know. And I'll probably be on the phone the next day to check on you. And I make sure you get every session you paid for.
And, no, we don't yell at you and make you "drop and give us 20".
We offer fitness boot camps for prom, reunions, weddings, beach-body and singles. It's like having a personal trainer. But, it’s much more cost efficient. You really should try it!
