Boot camp gives me the motivation to do more than I ever would have at home, on my own.

Coach!
Camp is the very best thing I have EVER done for myself!
I have lost pounds and inches after many plateaus and failed attempts to do so on my own.
I have gained strength, endurance, and muscle! I had stopped running races because I thought I was slow and began to hate running. I ran my first 10K race because of BC and in an amazing time!
Boot Camp has been the challenge, the push and the change that I needed. Even after a year, it still challenges my body. I don't think of exercise and nutrition as a means to an end now. It's now my lifestyle!
But THE best part about my BC experience, is that I don't obsess over the scale like I used to. As you know, I threw it out. And this may not seem like a big deal to many but, it's a HUGE deal to me. I don't need to know how much the scale says I weigh, I feel great!

Coach Jim kept me motivated and made me believe that I could do it, when I did not initially believe that I could. I felt better about myself on my way there and on my way back each day because I knew that I was doing something great for myself.

As a mother of 3 children ages 7, 9, and 10 there's not much time for putting together a reasonable workout schedule. 5:30am boot camp a few miles down the road gave me a no excuse option. Jim gave an awesome class--very motivating, but also gave you the ability to work at your individual level. I felt great knowing that I had finished my workout for the day to my potential by 6:30AM, without disturbing the kids morning routine--out and ready for school by 7AM. My workout was much more rewarding than my usual run/walk at 5:30AM in the dark (mostly running scared!) The gang helped to motivate and push greater limits---All possible through Jim's program. THANKS JIM!!

I am at the end of the 2nd week of my 2nd camp. After seeing and feeling such dramatic changes from the 1st 4 weeks, I was not sure what the 2nd camp would bring. This 2nd camp, I am feeling even more energetic. My cardiovascular endurance is really improving. I am getting stronger. I feel better than I have felt in years. I am now seeing my body geting some muscle tone, and seeing a loss in cellulite. Most of all I feel great!! My reasons for beginning the boot camp was not to lose a lot of weight (even though I am over weight) I wanted to get control over my mind and body, and obtain balance in my life. I figured if I would get up at 4:30 in the morning 5 days a week, and train the way we train, I could discipline my mind to form new habits. I was right. The balance is better, my husband and I are spending more quality time together, productivity is up with my work, and my body is changing. Most of all I feel great!!! Boot camp rocks, as our coach would say. :-)

In three weeks of Boot Camp I lost a dress size, gained a ton of energy and made new friends, but the best thing I gained was a real sense of empowerment. It was great to be pushed to the limits. I would recommend this to everyone of all ages.

Boot camp has been a great way to jump start a lagging fitness routine. It pushes you to achieve what you think you could never do on your own...and it's fun!

I just finished three weeks of Boot Camp and loved it!!! It is extremely motivating and challenging! It is the best work-out I've ever done and the results are incredible! I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to improve their overall health and fitness.

I feel boot camp has challenged me in every aspect of my life..ie..physically, mentally and spiritually. I have learned alot about myself..my assets and my limitations. I have learned to find other avenues to get around my limitations. I also really enjoy the encouragement from everyone. The atmosphere is more encouraging than driven/competitive.

I have always been a fitness maniac, but I have been unable to motivate myself since the birth of my second child. Jim has helped me to break a very long plateau as well as manage my time much better. Working out in the morning allows me to have my evenings free to spend with my family. I have even started cooking! I love adventure boot camp and the friendships that come along with it.

Boot Camp has been a wonderful blessing for me. The first thing I noticed was an increase in the amount of energy I had. Then I realized my endurance had increased. I was thrilled the day I found myself running through the grocery store parking lot pushing my toddlers in the "racing car cart" and still had the energy and breath to unload the groceries. I have also decreased my body fat percentage by 10 % and had to buy new pants.

I lost almost 20% body fat, lost 20 lbs, and went from a size 16 to a size 12. I came to Coach Jim about three months ago to help me get into shape for my wedding. And he did. He would say I did it and it was my determination that moved me along even when it hurt and I didn't feel like doing another squat. But I say he doesn't give himself enough credit. Jim is the motivation behind Adventure Boot Camp that keeps us moving and working. He never gives up and, therefore, we never give up. He is a great teacher and believes in what he is teaching. He's awesome and I can't thank him enough for giving me the RIGHT TOOLS to be a fitness-loving maniac and for FEELING (and looking) beautiful on my wedding day.

Just to note a few:

- Firmer and slimmer arms
- More definition in biceps & triceps
- Firmer and better shaped Glutes
- Firmer thighs and more definition above the knee.
Wow...I am a walking advertisement for boot camp! :) "

"It's everything I paid for. I wanted to get in shape…I did. I wanted to be motivated…I was. I wanted results…I got them."

"I'm seeing results, which is what we all want.
I'm seeing good results...not like those you get with the diets that are out there where you lose the weight and then gain it right back.
Jim really motivates people to attend...he makes it a lot of fun. I really look forward to going again the next day."
