See for yourself:
"I never thought in a million years that I could get up at 5:20AM almost every morning to workout. I also never thought that I could run. I am so proud of myself that I stuck to this routine for a month and was able to complete all the workouts. My body has somewhat adjusted to the early morning workouts and I always feel good after them....even if they are hard to get through. I am definitely stronger and hope to continue this progress by sticking to this program long-term. I feel good about myself and have more confidence that I can do anything. The program has taught me that you can overcome hurdles and strive to be the best that you can be."

"To the new group, I would say, "Believe in yourself and take those extra few steps outside of your comfort zone. Yeah, it's uncomfortable and different at first, but it's so well worth the effort when you see the results. If you're serious about changing your body, mind, and attitude towards living a healthy life...boot camp is the perfect starting point."

"I came to the program with high blood pressure and really, really high cholesterol. I was already on meds for both. Then at my annual physical in December my glucose was elevated. The glucose was just a little above the normal range. That really scared me straight. I work in a heart and vascular center. I know first hand the end result of all of these problems. I Could not wait for Boot Camp to start in March.
I just had all of my blood work repeated today. I have been off my blood pressure and cholesterol meds for two full months now. My cholesterol is totally normal with no meds. My blood pressure, totally normal. My glucose levels are well within the normal range. All of this has taught me that I have to take care of myself and I have to exercise every single day of my life for the rest of my life. This has truly been a life changing experience for me.
The body that I am getting in the process is a nice incentive too. I am down from a size 12 to a size 6 in 2 1/2 months. I am losing inches so fast now that I can't keep up with which clothes fit me. I have lost almost ten pounds in two months.
Thanks for all of the encouragement and all of the emails. I don't even mind having extra credit. "

"In the near two months I’ve been a boot camp participant I’ve seen results I’ve never seen before. I feel stronger than I’ve ever felt. I’m smaller than I’ve been in over 10 years. I push myself more than I ever did in four years of triathlon training. Boot camp is making me a better athlete. The furthest triathlon distance I’ve ever covered is a ½ Ironman. That was as far as I ever thought I would or could go. I didn’t think I was capable of more. Not true. Not anymore. Boot camp has pushed me – I know I’m capable of more. I’m going for it – Ironman, June 2007. HOOOOAAHH!"

"Thanks again for your careful application of a valuable exercise program. Its pretty amazing how one program can be so well-designed that it brings couch-potatoes side by side with marathon-class athletes and everyone in between, and we all get so much out of it. - Dan Clark, Blackburn Park Veteran
Wow - I cannot believe that I actually ran Chastain Park today!! This sounds so sappy but when I drove home this morning I actually cried - not from pain or exhaustion but out of complete happiness that I had done it. You see I cannot remember any time pushing myself to actually complete a physical activity - sad but true. Boot camp has been the most incredible voyage of discovery for me - I have lost 10 pounds, fitted back into pre-maternity clothes and through the motivation and encouragement I received from instructors, other boot campers and friends realized that I do not have to remain over weight and inactive - I have a choice and that is to believe I can do it!
Thank you so much for getting me to this point. Over the past month I jotted down what I was learning from boot camp...thought I'd share the top 10 with you!
(1) Getting fit is 90% a mental challenge 10% a physical one
(2) There is no excuse for making excuses
(3) Kickboxing is a lot more fun than ballet!
(4) Playing like a child can makes me feel strong
(5) I can eat and loose weight
(6) Everyone has muscles you just need to use them!
(7) It is better to get up at 5.20am than to go bed at that time!
(8) If you ask for support you will find most people are happy to give it
(9) I can still skip at 37
(10) Tara may be small but she is mighty
Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
