Fit Body Boot Camp

I have always loved the idea of boot camp and after seeing a Groupon for 20 sessions at an incredible price I decided to go for it - and I am so glad I did to say the least! In the first few weeks of 45 min. sessions 3x/ week my mind was blown when I stepped on the scale and saw I had lost 11 pounds. It was an incredible feeling when I was wearing clothes that didn't fit just prior to starting the class. So many coworkers, friends, family and neighbors have told me they can see a huge difference and I tell them the class truly works. Chris, the Instructor, is awesome and really cares about the health and long term benefits his class will bring to all his students. I don’t believe he has a mean bone in his body and never raises his tone in class to anybody. He works with everyone on their own levels and is very encouraging. I have asthma and in the beginning I was having a lot of problems but Chris has patiently guided me through the struggles, as well as the rest of the class. When I walked into my first class everybody looked to be in shape and all I could think was how was I going to keep up with them! I have now realized that we are all there for one reason or another and we get along great and treat each other with respect and admiration. I feel that there is nothing better than my boot camp classes that I even signed up for another 7 months!! The best feeling I get is every time I leave there I am soaking wet from another great workout and I can feel the calories melting off.

This boot camp changed my life. I never had a weight problem or exercised  a day in my life.  Then I hit my forty's and the party was over.  By the time I was fifty I did not recognize the woman in the mirror. I lost and gained the same 5 pounds over and over again.  I am happy to say 6 months later I have lost 13 pounds, 2 inches in my waist, and 2 dress sizes!  One more size to goal!nnNot only that but I have met great people who have opened up a new world for me. I have traded in my lounge chair for 5K races, rock wall climbing, and hiking!  All thanks to Chris and his confidence in me.

I have known Chris for about 6 months now. His approach to fitness is different and makes you want to do something. Now that I have started, I feel better about myself as a person. The small group setting has so many advantages when working out and the personal training touch that Chris offers is priceless. His knowledge, expertise and personal individual plan for each and every person helps you reach your realistic goals in getting into shape, mentally and physically.

Mercer County Boot Camp is the perfect way to get in shape. You get the best of both worlds, personalized training sessions in a smaller group. Chris does a excellent job of catering the workout routines to your personal fitness level, whether you are a beginner or more advanced. His extensive knowledge of fitness and body chemistry makes it easy to understand exactly what and why you are doing specific exercises. When I Started 5 months ago i hit a training plateau, this class helped me bust through and got me excited about working out again. It's not just the usual chest and bicep routines, every body part is pushed to the limits. It forced me to use muscles i neglect in everyday workouts. My advice to anyone thinking about joining is JUST DO IT.

I love Boot Camp. It’s a very positive environment to work out and lose fat! There are people from all different levels of skill working out together, whether you have the 10lb weights or the 30lbs, you are getting your butt kicked. In 1.5 months I’ve lost inches on my waist, thighs, have gained strength and feel more energetic throughout the day. Chris puts together a new workout every day that exercise different groups of muscles, but also because you are moving from station to station quickly, you are getting a cardio workout as well. For fat loss in general, cardio and strength training combined is the sweet spot. I have gotten great results from this program and the best part is that I look forward to going to boot camp!
