Awesome!

by nielsandkerstine

We have both attended this fantastic workout program for a long time and had so so much fun. The Major and the LT are extreemly fun and knowledgable! There is no better way to start you day! Since our move out of LA we can honestly say that we miss BootCamp the most! There is absolutely nothing like it! Hoo-yaa!

• Pros: perfect workout, great knowledge, excersizes, fun, effective
• Cons: Some times it's a bit challenging to get out of bed so early :)

by rebel00

I was a skeptic day one that this program would not be challenging, but was I ever wrong! This is great training for all levels!! I'm finishing up my first month and looking forward to the next!

• Pros: Major and LT are great!
• Cons: Early Mornings....

Better workout than you'll get at any gym! Plus, it's FUN and you'll actually look forward to going! Hoo Yah!

by wink01

Last November I cancelled my gym membership (which I used on average once each month - never justifying the expenditure) and signed up for BootCamp. I was immediately motivated by the format and the personal attention from The Major and The Lieutenant. A little overly competitive by nature, I really found the group setting to be both challenging and supportive. Everyone wants to see everyone else do well and make it through the hour. You can truly go at your own pace - there is always someone at your level that you can identify with. People in great shape, people working for weight loss, all age ranges and fitness levels. I am in my 6th month now and have seen great results - one, because I am actually motivated to go 3-4 times each week, and two, because the instructors are so hands on in helping you achieve your fitness goal. I'd recommend BootCamp L.A. to anyone looking for a great workout in a friendly environment.

• Pros: Instructors, Environment, Workout Philosophy, Fun Crowd
• Cons: Work out rain or shine - literally!

by dawneesha

When you have a group of postive people, the fresh morning air and professionals who look forward to seeing you improve in your posture, strength and endurance ability, then you know you have found the right bootcamp...They welcome you with open arms and are extremely knowledgeable in their field...The quest? To help you make attain your goal without stripping your ego...instead they encourage you, and support your dream by helping you find a nutritional program that works...

Exercise that is also fun?!? Who would have thought!

by whitemeatnugs

I started Boot Camp recently and so far I am enjoying the program a great deal! I think what I like best is that it's outside, the Major and Lt. are very encouraging. My favorite part is that when it's done, I will have learned some good exercises I'll be able to do on my own, as well. The sessions are also different every time - big plus! I don't get bored.

BootCamp LA "THE BEST"

by protonspinner5

I was always considered out of shape and a heavy. I exercised here and there but nothing too serious. Then, buy the chance of luck, I found out I had osteoporosis at the age of 28. Being a male with Osteoporosis was a wake-up call; I didn't want to be a statistic! I enlisted with BootCamp LA petrified and nervous I wouldn't be able to sustain the drills, the laps, and the torture. Boy was I wrong. The Major and the Lt. are two of the friendliest and caring people anyone could possibly know. They are genuine, sincere, and care for your health and progress. The workout sessions are conveniently offered at many times of the day so even the busy professional has no excuse but to get up and sing a song or two around the park (yeah, we do some singing, but its fun!) The team dynamics are also to be commended. The 'warriors' (those in training) are there for the same reason, to get healthy, to learn to be healthy, or to sustain being healthy! Life-long friends are made that support you physically and emotionally. Just when you think you cannot do one more pushup, the Major or Lt are there giving you inspiration that "you can do it!" and indeed you do! It's that "just one more" that sets Boot Camp LA above other similar programs. Two years later at the age of 30, I'm happy to report my osteoporosis has reversed and is nearly gone. I thank the constant encouragement of the Major and Lt as well as other trainees. HOO-YA!

• Pros: the Major, the LT, the people you workout with, and BEING OUTSIDE
• Cons: when it rains

Wonderful Program - Fun Way to Get/Stay in Shape!!

by mkb123

I am no athIete. In fact, I flunked PE in junior high. And I used to hate exercising. So when I say Boot Camp LA is like an adult PE class only much more fun that's saying a lot. I highly recommend it for everyone but especially people like me who have no motivation to exercise on their own.

I've been going for the last 5 years & have met some really great people including the "Major" & "Lt." who run the program. Each session is different and the time goes by so quickly that you forget you are exercising!

People are at all different fitness levels as well as different shapes, sizes & ages so it is challenging but not intimidating. There are a variety of sessions (days & times) offered so if you miss a session you can easily make one up.

So if you are looking for a great program that will help you bring out your inner jock this is the one for you! Like me you just might might surprise yourself.

• Pros: lots of fun, outdoors, flexible schedule, great people

Best workout anywhere, motivational and very balanced approach to exercise and nutrition. The Major and Leutinant are very passionate and thorough with technique and diet education.

by paperwizard

The Major has taken a very concentrated regimen of exercise and nutrition and made it truly motivational. He and the Leutinant (his wife) have created a commaraderie amongst a group of men and women of varying ages and made the 'strenuous' exercise something you really want to do.

After two weeks of a four week program of rigorous exercise for an hour in the morning, three days a week and following the Major's dietary content/scheduling, I'm already seeing real and significant results. I'm truly looking forward to 're-enlisting' for ongoing four-week sessions. I only wish I had started sooner!

I cannot speak highly enough about the Major's way of putting my body in better shape... And, I have been exercising (mainly long distance running, 10k's and marathons along with modest calesthenics) for 27 years. As the Major and Leutinent would say, "HOOYAH"!!!
