| How
is the class formatted? |
| |
Ultimate Bootcamp BLAST classes
are designed to give you a total body workout. We'll be hitting
all the major muscle groups in the 90 minute class while mixing
it up with fun group drills, cardio challenges and relays. |
| I missed
the class, can I get a refund? |
| |
You must give us 3 days notice if you are
not able to attend the class in order to receive a refund. |
| I'm not
a runner, do we have to run in class? |
| |
Ultimate Bootcamp isn't a running club.
Ask a class of 30 bootcampers if they LOVE to run, and only
a few will raise their hands! We utilize jogging in our daily
warm-ups and in some drills to get your body warm and heart
rate up. Also be prepared to keep your heart-rate up by doing
high knees, jumping jacks, side shuffles and other cardio drills. |
| How many
people are in each class? |
| |
Classes are limited to 30 persons, signing
up early for a session is always a good idea. Many of our popular
class locations and times fill up 2 weeks before the class begins.
Registration for classes close at Friday noon before a new session
begins. |
| Is Ultimate
Bootcamp BLAST for me? |
| |
Bootcampers must have a minimal aerobic
base and be able to quickly walk one mile comfortably. If you
have prior injuries or conditions that you think might limit
your participation, speak to your physician to see if becoming
more physically active by attending Ultimate Bootcamp is right
for you. Let them know that you'll be doing aerobic and anaerobic
drills mixed with medium to high impact exercises and muscle
conditioning. |
| Who participates
in Ultimate Bootcamp BLAST classes? |
| |
Ultimate Bootcamp BLAST is a great way
to sample the Ultimate Bootcamp workout, change up your regular
fitness routine, or to continue your bootcamp training after
you've completed a 4-week session. Athletes and fitness novices
alike will reap the benefits from this full-body conditioning
class. Participants must have a minimal aerobic base and be
able to walk one mile comfortably. |
| Can
I just show up on Saturday? |
| |
Sorry, no. You must
register online and fill out the health history forms
to participate in the class by noon Friday
before the class begins. |
| Ultimate
Bootcamp sounds great, but I'm still nervous! |
| |
We understand the thought of boot camp can
be scary...but ULTIMATE Bootcamp, yikes! You can be sure most
new bootcampers like you are anxious during the first day of
class but trust us, the "Ultimate" is the best part...
ultimate fun, ultimate results, and ultimate motivitation from
some of the best Trainers in the business. |

| I forgot
to send in my health history forms, do you have a web link to
them online? |
| |
Click
here to download the forms. |
| Where
in the park do we meet? |
| |
Click
here to check out directions on our Location page. |
| Is
there a place to leave my bags while we workout? |
| |
We travel throughout the parks and cannot
guarantee the safety of your belongings. Some of our Fitness
Trainers do have vehicles where you can store your belongings;
some of our Fitness Trainers do not. Please bring as little
as possible with you to class. |
| What
do I need to bring? |
| |
Your health history forms should already
have been sent to Ultimate Bootcamp. If you have not downloaded
the forms, please see question above. Bring water, a positive
attitude and a towel for your car or the train for after class...you're
gonna get dirty! |
| What
should I wear to class? |
| |
Dress in layers. While working out in the
summer or winter months, you will sweat a great deal. If you
wear a moisture-wicking shirt as your first layer, you’ll
be a lot
more comfortable. Given that you’ll be working out outdoors
you might be asked to
lie on your back on the grass or be rolling around in agony-
just kidding! So don’t come dressed in your Sunday best! |
| What
kind of shoes should I wear? |
| |
You should be in a newer pair of athletic
shoes that are made specifically for your feet and the way you
walk/run. It all starts from the ground up, so being in the
appropriate pair of shoes will help protect your knees, shins,
and back from injury. Go to a knowledgeable shoe store where
they observe your stride and foot type before fitting you in
a pair of shoes. |
| I
just finished a class and 3 days later, I'm sore! Is this normal? |
| |
Your muscles don't care whether you've run
marathons, climbed mountains, or haven't worked out in 6 months,
Ultimate Bootcamp workouts are simply an activity your body
is not accustom to. Soreness can last up to 10 days after you
complete a Blast class. |
| How
much water sould I be drinking? |
| |
You’d be surprised how easy it is
to dehydrate. Sweating during sleep (especially during the humid
months), drinking caffeinated liquids such as coffee, alcohol,
etc., and exercising are just some of the ways in which you
lower the body’s level of hydration. Make sure you’re
drinking at LEAST 65-70 fl. oz. of water throughout the day.
Try to remember the 40/40 rule – 40 oz. of water per 40
minutes of exercise; at least 8 before, 24 during, and 8 afterwards.
Sports drinks with electrolytes can be a good addition to your
water intake to help replenish potassium and calcium in your
body. If you’re unsure about your level of hydration,
check your urine – the darker it is, the more dehydrated
you are. |
