Congratulations Ann   "I’ve lost a total of 16 inches since starting with boot camp"

Why did you join Body Buster Fitness?

My sister Donna raved about how much she enjoyed Body Buster Fitness which is how I learned about boot camp.  It was outdoors, designed to work at your own pace, focused and fun, and that the instructor was a great motivator.  I was tired and frustrated with the increased size of my butt and my decreased motivation to get to the gym. Body Buster Fitness sounded like a good solution to get motivated and fit while being outside.  And the fact that High Park was easy access to my home via subway was an added bonus.

What were your fitness goals for boot camp and did you meet them?

My goal when I joined Body Buster Fitness was to increase my cardio and decrease my butt.  Although I knew I was uncoordinated, I realized how uncoordinated I was when I started boot camp.  I remember my first fit test (horrors!). The inches have been coming off slow but sure and my coordination and cardio have both improved.

What do you feel that you have gained by doing the boot camp classes?

By continuing to sign up for boot camp classes I’ve become more motivated to make better choices in everything that is health and fitness related.  I never thought I’d be the girl who … did wall squats while waiting for the subway or butt crunches while taking the elevator, subscribed to a Women’s Health magazine and enjoyed reading it, would eat meal replacement bars and drink a protein shake (and actually like it) … needless to say I’ve ‘changed’ a lot about my attitude to what it means to be fit and healthy.  I even dragged my fitness bands out of the back of the closet and have them next to the couch for a few reps while I’m watching television on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

What kind of results have you seen?

I’ve lost a total of 16 inches since starting with boot camp with the largest total loss being my shoulders (5 ½”)  and my hips (3 ¼”) .   I have also dropped two bra sizes.  My goal is to be down to 130 lbs and be an easy size 10 by June.  By continuing to work out with Dani and her team I know I’ll achieve my goal.

What other results have you noticed OTHER THAN inches lost?

Other than total inches lost I’ve noticed a significant increase in my day-to-day cardio related activities.  For example, I take the back exit at my subway station which translates to a lot of stairs.  I can easily sprint up the stairs and not get winded.  Every day I take those stairs I smile with pride at my increased cardio.  I’ve also reduced the amount of tension headaches.

Anything else you would like to add.

I recommend Body Buster Fitness to everyone who is not motivated to get to the gym but who knows in their heart of hearts that they need to take control of their overall fitness.  I am proud of what I’ve accomplished and look forward to boot camp – even if some of the moves and repetitions are still a challenge for me.  I don’t like missing a class!  If I can do it, anyone can do it.

Congratulations Jerry   "I really enjoy the feeling and satisfaction after a hard class"

Why did you join Body Buster Fitness?

When golf season is over it is easy fro me to get very lazy and gain extra pounds quickly. I was looking for more discipline to my work outs and wanted to make sure I did not balloon up. I used to be very casual about getting on an exercise bike and doing some weight work at home and it was very easy to give up and I never ever pushed myself hard at home. I had been reading about the whole concept of "surprising" muscle groups by doing different exercises every 2 or 3 minutes and the whole "boot camp" thing interested me.

What were your fitness goals for boot camp and did you meet them?

Lose weight, get stronger, feet more fit, and learn more about fitness and nutrition. Yes!!!!

What do you feel that you have gained by doing the boot camp classes?

I have learned how important technique (proper form and proper breathing) is to achieving weight and fitness goals - I used to do all sorts of exercises and wondered why I was not achieving certain goals, probably because I was not doing them correctly. I really enjoy the feeling and satisfaction after a hard class, (and they are hard) but it is very easy to achieve fitness goals given how hard the classes are. It is really satisfying to know that I can get a lot out of this kind of workout.

What other results have you noticed OTHER THAN inches lost?

I feel good really, much more limber and I can stretch and reach much further. I also have much more stamina having gone through a few sessions.

Anything else you would like to add.

I really enjoy the instructor. I get pushed hard by her always in a very positive way. I happen to work well in that kind of environment.

Congratulations Lara   "I am totally hooked!"

Why did you join Body Buster Fitness?

I joined Body Buster Fitness because I really needed something to get me motivated to work out, especially in winter. I have a treadmill and weights at home but could never stay interested long enough to do a good workout.

What were your fitness goals for boot camp and did you meet them?

I had the usual goals of lose weight and try to get in shape initially but after the first session my goals changed, I don't look at the scale to see if I have lost weight, I look at my fit test results. Now I want to always beat my previous scores. The fit test is one of the best things about Boot Camp, you can really see your progress and improvement and that keeps me wanting to work harder.

What do you feel that you have gained by doing the boot camp classes?

I think I gained confidence the most. I was never a jogger before, not even able to jog two minutes straight. Now I can jog and in April I bettered my first day 1k run time by 2 mins, 33 seconds (I was so proud) At home on the treadmill I try to do longer jogs with each workout (when I want to quit I think of Instructor saying "mind over matter, you can do it"!) I am now a jogger never thought it was possible.

What other results have you noticed OTHER THAN inches lost?

I have lost the most inches in my shoulders (4"), hips (4") and thighs (1") as well as every other part of my body is toned and tightened. As well as losing inches since joining Body Buster I sleep much better and eat much better! There is a huge improvement in my eating because now I always think "what should I eat to be able to work out well" you can't work out well after eating fries and a hamburger! As well, I never knew that you should eat after a workout; my Instructor is great for giving guidance about what to eat.

Anything else you would like to add.

I have been telling everyone I know about Body Buster Boot Camp, it really is the funniest 60 minutes of exercise. The hour goes by so fast and what I really love is that since January we have not done the exact same class ever, it is always different so you never know what’s coming next and you never get bored. I am totally hooked!

Congratulations Tanya   "If I appear to be “glowing” it must be because of BootCamp"

Why did you join Body Buster Fitness BOOTCAMP?

What were your fitness goals for BOOTCAMP and were they met?

How do you feel overall after taking Body Buster BOOTCAMP?

I feel so much better in terms of both physical fitness and health fitness.  If I appear to be “glowing” it must be because of BootCamp, coz I sure ain’t pregnant!
Definition areas, arms and upper body, calves, bit in the abs.  Still hoping for the legs of a rockette dancer; could that be why I’ve signed up for BootCamp Month # 3?
I warn you, I maybe a lifer!!!

 

Congratulations Bev   "Hips, Chest, Abdomen. After 3 sessions I've lost 9.5 inches off all these areas."

 

Why did you join Body Buster?

I joined Body Buster Fitness BOOTCAMP after a friend told me how awesome it was.  It was time to get back into a fitness routine, as I hadn’t been doing very much for some time.   I knew I needed to be motivated and Body Buster BOOTCAMP sounded like the motivation I needed.

 

What were your fitness goals for BOOTCAMP, and did you meet them?

I wanted to feel healthier and fit, to challenge myself to do something to get my physical self in shape and to get my mental fitness in line as well.  This BOOTCAMP has helped me meet my goals, and to understand that exercise needs to part of life and not something you turn off and on as needed.  I still find it hard to believe that I get up just after 5 a.m. three times a week to work out.  But, what a great way to start the day.  And there is nothing better than exercising outdoors, Can’t wait until spring.

 

What do you feel that you have gained by doing the Body Buster BOOTCAMP Classes?

I’ve benefited both mentally and physically and class reinforces that anything worth doing is a challenge, and that challenge is pushing yourself to do things you didn’t think you could do, but really can.  Mind over body is so true. I’m also happy about dropping a pant size and fitting back into lots of my old clothes. I’ve also met some great people and had fun along the way, who would have thought so much sweating and groaning could be so much fun.

 

What other results have you noticed other than inches lost?

I feel great, much healthier, more energy, Lost about 10 pounds.
