It's Simple! It's Basic! It's Fun! It's West Coast Boot Camp!

We've all come to a point in our lives where enough is enough! We are unhappy about the way we look and the way we feel about our bodies. Our energy level seems to always be depleted while we consciously make unhealthy food choices knowing it will be followed by guilt. We start out our days with good intentions of packing our work-out bag so that we can hit the gym after work. But inevitably by the time you leave work you're completely exhausted so you just head straight home for the couch and a cold beer. Does this sound familiar to anyone? We've all been through this viscous circle!! It's called lack of motivation, lack of inspiration, lack of accountability, lack of self discipline and lack of commitment. Why is it so hard to get yourself to the gym? Well one of the main reasons is because there is no accountability factor. No one at the gym is going to call you and say, "hey where are you, we know you were "thinking" about coming to they gym today." That is something that most likely would not happen in the real world.

What makes West Coast Boot Camp a lot different than any other type of work-out program is that we will help you to find that accountability within yourself to get up and show up everyday. First because you have to... then eventually it will be because you want ! So don't be surprised if you don't show up for class that you receive a phone call from your instructor wondering where you were. So with all that said, here is what makes West Coast Boot Camp so much different than any other type of workout.

Boot Camp is an opportunity for you to make a commitment - most importantly to yourself, then to your trainers, and then to your classmates. It's one of the healthiest addictions anyone can acquire. The awesome way that you feel at the end of each workout is enough to keep you coming back for more. It's an amazing sense of accomplishment that you can feel by only 6:30 in the morning. Most people's alarms are barely even going off yet.

So what is boot camp all about?

West Coast Boot Camp is a 6 week military based work out... but don't let the word "military" scare you off. It's something that anyone can do, whether you're in shape, kind of in shape or way out of shape. It doesn't matter if you're 15 or 65. Everyone is able to work at their own pace and no one is judged on their inability to perform certain exercises. We're all equals just having fun and striving on bettering ourselves. Although you will be encouraged to push yourself so you can see how tough you really are!

The Boot Camp classes are set outdoors, usually in a park setting. A typical day of boot camp would involve starting with stretches followed by running, stair climbing, sprints, lunges, military push-ups, body sculpting with weights, abdominal work, isometrics and always ending with more stretches. It's not a hugely competitive atmosphere but sometimes competition is encouraged just for fun! There will also be a Physical Training Test conducted on each individual's ability to perform certain exercises to give a starting point of your fitness level. This test will include how many push-ups and sit-ups can be performed in 2 minutes, as well as a timed 1-mile run. Each individual will be given instructions and helpful hints for basic nutritional guidance along with a daily food record to track all daily food intake.

*FOOD JOURNAL SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO CLASS DAILY FOR REVIEW BY YOUR INSTRUCTOR.
