What if I'm not very physically fit?

NOBODY will be left behind or asked to complete more than they are capable of doing safely. Nor will anybody go home unchallenged! All ages and abilities are welcome to participate. Each day will slightly increase in intensity. You will inspire and be inspired by others.

What types of exercises are included in the program?

Exercises include: core conditioning, functional training, short distance running, muscular strength, plyometrics, speed and agility training, jumping rope, circuit training, obstacle courses, PAR course, Pilate mat exercises, surprises and more! This technique was developed by fitness expert John Spencer Ellis.

Camps are held outdoors. Directions will be given at your first assessment. On select days, campers may travel a short distance away from the "base camp" for a fun day. You will receive your schedule prior to camp. You can also check this site for any calendar changes.

How often will we meet?

Participants will meet 3 days a week for one hour during the four-week program. All participants must arrive on time. Class will start @ 5:30 (or a choice of the 6:45 am in the summer months) each day, although we do understand that things happen, so if you are running late, don't make that a reason not to show up that day, b/c no matter how late you will be that day, every minute you are at boot camp is that much closer you will be to reaching your personal goals.

What can I expect from camp?

Your body will become more fit and toned, and you will gain more confidence and self-esteem! You will also meet people with the same fitness goals, abilities & challenges as yourself. You will be challenged as you reach for & achieve your goals. Results are usually greater for those campers doing the full 5 days a week boot camp.

Why should I participate?

You will make a dramatic improvement in your physical and mental well-being. In addition, you'll meet great people who share your same passion for acquiring a more healthy body and mind. You will be finished with your training before the rest of the world has even gotten started, and, you'll be several hundred calories ahead! The camp program includes exercises designed to firm your butt and thighs, flatten your stomach, reduce body fat and increase stamina. By losing fat and gaining muscle, you'll lose inches and gain strength while looking and feeling better.
