Joining Body Buster Fitness has been an incredible experience for me. First of all, I have never (note the word "never"!!) been "fit" in my life. Less than two months ago, I used to run to my bus stop in the morning and be gasping for air. I was really hesitant to join the class because I was on my own and was afraid that one hour would be too intense for me. Instead, the instructors provided a non intimidating, friendly environment by using positive reinforcement to encourage all of us to push ourselves as hard as we could. I have tried joining gyms numerous times over the years but I could never motivate myself to continue going. I always found it frustrating that I didn't really know which machine to use and how to use it and I personally found running on a treadmill while watching tv screens with no sound and captions incredibly boring. Now I look forward to every Body Buster Fitness class because they are always different and equally challenging. I love that all I have to do is show up and let them take care of me by telling me what to do for the entire session. The biggest milestone for me was seeing my timed improvement for the 1K run - within just four weeks of my first session, I managed to bring my 1K run time down by a whole minute! Not only that, I was in total shock when I discovered how many inches I lost after just four weeks when they did the post measurements. I've also noticed a shift in my overall mental well being - and the mood must be infectious because my friends and family have definitely noticed and commented on it. The best thing about this program is that the staff never seem to stop listening and evolving the program based on our feedback and requests. I really couldn't have asked for more in a fitness program!

I joined boot camp thinking it wouldn't be that tough, and thought I wasn't in too, too bad shape...boy was I wrong! After the pain and exhaustion of the first class I told myself I wasn't going to sign up for another session...but the pain is what keeps me coming back! I love the encouraging, non judgmental environment, and the fabulous instructors always pushing us further than our minds tell us we can go. Not only seeing the results, but feeling better about yourself is what it makes it all worthwhile in the end. The saying "no pain, no gain" has definitely taken on a new meaning.

 

Jay says:

 

It's a fun class with a great vibe, great instructors and lots of variety.

The exercises are easy to get into but hard to master and keep challenging you to become more fit with each class.

I didn't think I'd stick with any fitness routine this long but it's fast, fun and gets results!

 

 

 

Lisa says:

I had been looking for something new to help me on the road to my recovery from some illness and injury. I was a little tentative with Bootcamp but decided to try a month with you and after my first day I am looking forward to every day. As someone who exercises at least 5 days a week alone this gives me something a little more creative and I like being yelled at. I love the modifications and after speaking to my instructor about my issues I was reassured that if I spoke up about any problems I may have she can help me through them. I look forward to the changes in my body and the challenges that are coming. It's nice to be in a setting with others rather than in my gym alone. Speaking with other members on the first day who have been coming for a long time and seeing their bodies and having them tell me about their changes was great encouragement. My instructor is a great leader and extremely motivating. If I don't sweat during a workout, I don't feel like I've done anything and I was soaked after this one! I will be making this my regular workout routine all year round. Thank You Body Buster Fitness! I'm so glad I joined.

 

Jennifer says:

What to say? I don't want to scare people off but I also want to fully express how intense, exciting, and entertaining these workouts are. I have been a member now since January 2008 when I joined with three girlfriends (water aerobics wasn't cutting it for us). Initially I thought that I would give it a try as my New Years Get Fit plan. I have stuck with it, worked it into my weekly schedule and actually really look forward to it and miss it on the days off. My goal initially was to get fit, have more energy and just feel better about myself and what I could accomplish. I have achieved all of these things with the added benefit that my clothes fit much better (even needed to buy new ones) and I am seeing a lot more muscle definition then I can ever remember. I also play competitive soccer where I am noticing big improvements. My recovery time after exertion is so much better and I am a much stronger and faster player. Even my husband is now a member he was so impressed with my progress.
I totally love the intensity, entire body workout, and the sense of accomplishment I feel when I get home. Classes are always different so I am never bored. This workout totally suits me. I guess you are wondering where the entertaining part comes in? I will leave this to you to experience but as a hint picture running around with an exercise ball and tell me you won't laugh at yourself.
Highly recommend Body Buster Fitness!! Can't wait for my next session to start. (Oh ya.. all three of my friends are also still members.)

 

Sonia says:

Body Buster Fitness, I am so glad I found you!
I admit, I was skeptical at first, not knowing anybody and not knowing what to expect from a whole month of "boot camp" classes, but that was short lived. The other members are friendly and non-judgmental, the instructors are positive and really help me believe that yes, I *can* do it. I actually look forward to going to the classes – something unheard of with my gym membership (no point in renewing that this fall)! Plus, the flexibility that Body Buster offers when it comes to scheduling conflicts that pop up from time to time really make it easy to commit to the program.

I came to Body Buster Fitness out of desperation to tone my flab for my wedding day. Boy, did you ever help me do that as I lost more than 13 inches in just a couple of months! My wedding has come and gone, yet I'm eagerly awaiting my fourth boot camp session. I'm sleeping better, have more energy and I feel great! I'm actually in shape for the first time in years! Case in point: every year I go interior canoeing in provincial parks and on a trip that I just did, one of the portages was 1.4 km long which I did with a 50 lb pack on my back and didn't even get winded. Without Body Buster Fitness I would have had to stop at least twice to catch my breath and slow my heart rate, not to mention have my hubby bring the pack to me to get on my back (I hoisted it myself this time)!

Thank-you so much for helping me to find my lost motivation for being fit. It feels really good to know that "I can". I only hope that others out there decide to Body Buster a try so they can discover for themselves their own fitness potential. The results from my classes are utterly amazing and I *highly* recommend you to all my family and friends.

 

Christine says:

I joined Bootcamp last June with the intention of just the one month of membership. Well its seven months later and I'm still going strong (and stronger!). I am not very fond of cardio workouts, usually preferring activities like yoga and pilates, but Body Buster Fitness has me hooked! I look forward to my two-day a week butt-kicking and genuinely miss it when we have our session breaks. My Trainer is an amazing motivator and obviously really cares about each and every member. In the last couple of months I've been struggling with some injuries and the instructor has really helped me figure out modifications to the exercises so that I can still fully participate and achieve the results I'm looking for. I've met some really wonderful people in class and that makes it all the more fun! I tell everyone I know about bootcamp and brag about the results! I'm stronger, I'm leaner, I'm more energetic and I like myself more for taking the time to challenge and take care of myself!

 

Pam says:

It started out innocently enough ~ it was mid-Nov. and I saw the ad for Body Buster Bootcamp in the local paper. I was intrigued and I put in a call to the office, who spent time with me, assuring me that this is just what I needed and was looking for and that I could go at my own pace.
I contacted a friend, who together we were always saying, "we should do something..." So now I found the something and both Mechelle and I have been faithfully attending 2-3 times per week since Nov./07.
The classes are an awesome way to start your day ~ I feel physically more "alive" and "fit". I don't mind the 6AM start time and even made it through the snowiest winter, without missing a class. I enjoy pushing myself to the next level, and strive to keep up with the "fittest" members of the class. Starting this session, I have specific goals for myself that I want to achieve.
As a wonderful added bonus, I have met some incredible people, who have also become friends. I may not have stuck with Bootcamp without the friends and the incredible instructor who encourages, pushes and never allows us to quit. Thank you Body Buster.

Josie says:

I am always suspicious of testimonials because they often seem exaggerated or outright false in their attempts to describe results achieved from a fitness product or service that offers a quick fix and is little more than a gimmick. Fitness is not about quick fixes or gimmicks. It's a lifestyle choice; a determination to be active and well. The Body Buster Bootcamp slogan perfectly is an ideal philosophy of fitness and life in general. "Work Hard! Have Fun! Be Well!" Body Buster incorporates these qualities into their program. Quick fixes are not promised. They know that fitness and wellness in general is a lifelong pursuit. I am not obsessed with having a bikini body, but the two sizes I've gone down in the last few months are a sign that I am achieving the goal of improved overall health by working hard and dare I say having fun. I have lost fat and improved my aerobic capacity and strength, not to mention lowered my stress level. It's all about quality of life, and mine is better because of Body Buster Bootcamp. A huge thank-you to the Body Buster team for offering such a great fitness program!

 

Tanya says:

My fitness goals were met and exceeded! That's why I've turned into a “junkie”. I had used the term being a “BOOTCAMP JUNKIE”, and I think it really does fit. I show up at each class eager for the punishment because I'll be so pleased with the physical changes and the general sense of well-being. 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 boot camp, 'coz I sure ain't pregnant! I warn you - I may be a lifer!!

 

Tanner says:

Body Buster Fitness's Boot Camp is great!! After I finished university, I decided it was time to work on my physical health. Too much studying left me a little dissatisfied with my physical abilities. So, I thought I'd try out Body Buster Fitness. Since I started a couple of weeks ago, I've already noticed changes. Losing weight and toning up are just the tip of the iceberg. I find that I'm more energetic throughout the day, I sleep better at night and I can concentrate longer at work. The intense workout has also motivated me to improve my eating habits. But, I don't feel so bad when I decide to eat a snack because it feels more like I've earned it. The classes are really fun and our class instructor, really knows her stuff. Please put this up on your site so that others will be encouraged to join your classes!

 

Nada says:

 

I am 50 yrs old and in great shape thanks to Body Buster Fitness! I have really toned up and have lost many inches. I don't enjoy bootcamp...I LOVE IT! I especially enjoy the personal attention that I receive from the caring, attentive staff. I have cancelled my gym membership and decided that I will only be a member of Body Buster Fitness. I recommend this program to everyone looking to make positive changes in their life!

 

Debbie says:

I was looking to get back into shape after having the kids. I tried the gym and it was just not for me, so I decide to try Body Buster Fitness. I loved the idea of being outdoors and about the total body workout. Needless to say I am thrilled with the classes. My energy level is up, I can keep up with my kids and my bad eating habits are slowly disappearing. The classes are great, the instructor is a great motivator and she provides such variety in her classes that I have yet to do the same class twice.

I have lost over 15lbs and 19” inches (5” from my thighs alone – Yippppeeee!!!!) from the first three sessions and I am about to start my forth in August.

I am definitely hooked on Body Buster!!!

 

 

Donna says:

I committed myself to the first month and with our instructor's positive reinforcement I kept with it and saw results. I can't wait til next month.

 

Matt says:

I never thought I'd really get into the whole "exercise" thing. Over the years, too many doughnuts started to add up. I had bought fitness equipment before, but it ended up sitting around being used as a shirt rack. A friend told me about Body Buster Bootcamp, and how it really changes people's lives. I was pretty skeptical at first, but thought, hey why not. I figured I'd give it the ol' college try for four weeks, and if I didn't like it, no big deal. I was surprised how motivating the instructors really were. That was four months ago, and I'm still doing it! I started off at the beginning of May weighing 200lbs. After four months, with diet and exercise, I'm now just under 180lbs, and I've had to buy a new belt! My wife says I look so much better now too. Thanks to the entire Body Buster Bootcamp team!

 

Anna Maria says:

Having joined the class four months after giving birth it was definitely refreshing. My first class was the most difficult, but it helped tremendously with my morale! Each class has proved to be different, yet still challenging. The motivation, consistency, and knowledge of the instructors is effective which allows you to see a difference in your body, in terms of form and shape. I haven't weighed myself since I started - but I have lost inches and I was able to get into my pre-pregnancy jeans one month ago. Five months into the program and still going strong - I would change nothing!

 

Bev says:

Boot camp is definitely challenging, but very worth it. Challenge is what life is all about. You not only feel great, you get to meet great people. As my instructor says: "It's mind over body." Thanks for the great advice and for showing us all that we can do much more than we think we can.

 

Shannon says:

This may sound dramatic, but bootcamp has changed my life! Right from when I started (Oct. 07), I was immediately hooked! I find the instructor so motivating, she really kicks my butt and the other members are really fun to work out with. One of my favourite parts of bootcamp is that every class is different and it is just as hard every single time.
I have lost inches everywhere, lost weight and I have gone down 2 dress sizes – none of my clothes fit right anymore and that is a good thing! The mental results are far more important to me than the physical. I feel so good after bootcamp and after each session, I feel stronger and just happier. I have more energy and I am very proud of what I have accomplished in the 10 months I have been a member.
I have signed up for a full year so I can't wait to see what I can do in 10 months from now!

 

Tanya says:

I'm pumped - physically and mentally - because I'm coming up to #200 in Body Buster bootcamp classes. No wonder I'm on my third pair of cross trainers! I have attended bootcamp religiously since its first bootcamp in August 2007, and no foolin', every single workout has been unique. While the exercises are repeated (those darn burpies!), the exercises have never been in the same pattern or sequence. The reason for that is the EXCEPTIONAL training and motivation provided by instructor. She is motivated, energizing, demanding and encouraging - the Body Buster Tasmanian devil she is. Boot camp is an integral part of my life now - it challenges me physically, it keeps me healthy and active, and to my delight, has grown my social network with terrific new friends. Love it!

 

Heidi says:

Body Busters is the most fun I've had working out. I have donated money to the gym for many years and the Body Busters classes make me want to work out. The fact that it's outdoors, in the fresh air, you work out with other people and the classes are always different is what keeps me coming back!

 

Marissa says:

Body Buster Fitness has given me the motivation I need to get back into shape again. I used to work out a lot, but over the past few years I haven't been very active. Ever since starting my boot camp classes I have felt a real change in my body (including muscle soreness so I know I have worked out hard). It's awesome because I feel like I am getting in shape again. It is making me want to workout even harder and get into even better shape. One of the things I like the most about the class is the environment. There is something refreshing about exercising outdoors and the positive class environment makes me feel comfortable working out. Plus I really like that the exercises are catered to my own fitness level. Thanks for offering such motivating classes!!

 

Jane says:

My fitness goals were simple, lose inches / weight and increase my energy level. I am happy with the results!

 

 

Jennifer says:

My friend introduced me to Body Busters and after reading up on it, I decided to join together with her and another friend. The work-outs have been great and challenging and I loved it because it is a lot of fun and I see results. I enjoyed the fact that each workout is unique and you don't know what to expect at each class. The instructor also helped me a lot she was not only pushing us to reach our max but encouraging us at the same time. After 4 weeks of joining Body Busters my energy level has increased and I have lost 4 pounds. I am so glad I joined and will recommend it to anyone.

 

Sanjana says:

 

I found joining BBF a great motivation for an overall better perspective on my new healthier lifestyle. I think it really helped that I had 2 other friends who joined with me as we held each other accountable. What I enjoyed most about the classes was the variety. You never knew what you were going to get next and so it kept the workout fun and exciting.

 

 

Annette says:

My first night of Boot Camp, I was nervous - I knew it would be a great program to get me in shape but I was intimidated that I wouldn't be "fit" enough to keep up with the class - was I wrong! The best thing about Boot Camp is the fact that YOU are in control of how hard or how easy the class is - the instructors are extremely positive and there's no doubt that they try and push you but it's never forced. If you do not feel you can complete a specific move, they always have an alternative move so you're still working the muscles. And, when you do accomplish the more difficult exercise, the instructors are the first to congratulate you and make you feel like you've really accomplished something (for those who know me - actually running the timed 1 km run is a prime example - and to think, before January, I NEVER ran!). Body Buster Fitness has been such a positive influence on my life - I have more strength, stamina and cardio endurance which let's me enjoy life more with my husband and two kids and I really enjoy the classes (which are never the same) with both the friends I joined with (yes, we're all still doing it together since January!) as well as the friends I've made in class. I LOVE my new body shape - since I joined in January 2007, I've lost a total of 19.5 INCHES - and it's great getting compliments from friends and family! There is one down side to Body Buster Fitness - you end up having to shop more for smaller sizes in clothes!! Thank you Body Buster Fitness - you've helped me improve my fitness life!

 

Gemma says:

 

Body Buster Fitness is the perfect combination of challenge and fun.

 

I always exciting anticipated what will we be doing in class.

 

No class was ever the same.

 

 

Chala says:

The instructor enthusiasm and keen sense of humour keep us coming back for more torture. As a result, I've never felt so strong (I have muscles in my ears!) or fit in my life. By changing up the routine of exercises every day, my instructor is constantly ensuring that our bodies don't get used to the workout. It is truly a pleasure to feel a sense of accomplishment from having already done my daily workout by 7am and having so much fun doing it.
