Get YOUR Fire going....

by Swatchme at Citysearch

Read this, and PASS IT ON!!

When I was much, much younger, I used to attend Summer Camp annually. As the sun was setting each evening, we used to gather around a huge bonfire and sing a certain song (Originally part of a 1969 musical-- “Tell It Like It Is”):

”It only takes a spark,

To get a fire going…

And soon, all those around,

Will warm up in it’s glowing…

WELL---

That’s how it is with BOOTCAMP,

Once you’ve experienced it,

You spread the news to everyone,

You want to PASS IT ON!!!

Husband and wife team: “The Major and LT”, have created THE most amazing, fun, challenging and creative workout around…even more fun than Summer Camp, BOOT CAMP LA has been a Godsend to me.

We don’t bring tents, just our water and our weights. We don’t cook meals over a fire; however, we do learn how to change our eating habits. (Major and LT even supply protein to the local squirrels!) We DO enjoy the wonder of nature in a beautiful outdoor setting. AND, if you come early enough, you can probably still find some stars in the sky.

“What a wondrous time is spring,

When all the tress are budding

The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming;

That's how it is with BootCamp,

Once you've experienced it.

You want to sing, it's fresh like spring,

You want to PASS IT ON!!!”

There are absolutely NO in-your-face commands, NO humiliation, NO intimidation. It’s about becoming your personal best. The Major and LT have the innate, natural ability to “meet you where you are” (no matter what your fitness level) and they have this finesse about them that INSPIRES you to push yourself beyond those preconceived notions we tend to hold in our minds. They are the most unpretentious, friendly couple I’ve met in LA in the six years I’ve lived here.

BOOTCAMP LA is a life-changing experience—letting go of outdated beliefs and shifting your negative thinking about your body seems to happen naturally at Bootcamp, even after the very first day! The Major and LT are not just working with our bodies; they are working their magic on our MINDS, first….who knew Bootcamp could be so much fun?!

The last verse of the original Summer Camp song comes to mind (variation on a theme!) :

“I wish for you my friend, this happiness that I've found;

you can depend on them, it matters not where you're bound.

I'll shout it from the mountaintop;

I want the world to know;

BOOTCAMP LA has come to me,

I want to PASS IT ON!!!

P.S. Original S’mores are not allowed at this camp—try the S’mores-flavored protein bars, instead… 

And SIGN UP TODAY---as The Major and LT say: “You’ll NEVER regret taking good care of yourself”!! BootcampLA beats ANY gym ever, hands down.

Great Boot Camp with Amazing Coach

by Frodo in LA at Citysearch

One of the key ingredients to success in any athletic endeavor, be it professional basketball or a daily workout regimen, is good coaching. A good coach motivates you, helps you reach your physical potential.

That's why BootCamp L.A. is such a great outfit to get (or stay) in shape; it's run by Jay Kerwin (AKA the Major), a veteran of the Special Operations Pararescue Team, who has matured into a great coach.

Indeed, Kerwin defines what coaching is. He'll make you work, but he'll make that work count. He'll pay attention to your form so you maximize your efforts and avoid injuries. And encourage you while you're doing so. With his quirky sense of humor, he may even put a smile on your face while you're sweating those extra pounds off.

When you're looking for a gym, you want to make sure its hours accommodate your schedule and its equipment meets your needs. When you're looking for a fitness boot camp, it's not so much the equipment that matters, but the personnel. And Jay Kerwin is the coach you need to stay motivated and to, if you follow the regimen, to get in the best shape of your life.

Best Work Out Ever

by Christine I at Citysearch

Boot Camp L.A. is the best investment ever. It is a challenging workout, and it is fun. I was in the best shape when I was going to Boot Camp L.A. and always in a great mood after the workouts. Major Kerwin and the Lt are very supportive. I wish I hadn't moved out of the area.

Love Boot Camp LA

by nycnurse at Citysearch

This is the best work out around! It is hard and yet fun at the same time. There is nothing better than working out with someone who really knows what they are doing and loves to teach others. I love that it is outside. I have had a fantastic experience here!
