Testimonials:
"The Trainers were the perfect
mix of tough, encouraging, funny and motivational to
make every class challenging and fun. This definitely
helped me to break out of a training rut and I know
that I am stronger and more fit than I was four weeks
ago. My expectations have been exceeded!" ~ Tracey,
Charlestown
"I have participated
in 5 sessions and have lost over 50 pounds and improved
my overall health. I feel great and I look forward to
participating in future classes" ~ Kathy
"The group/team
aspect of bootcamp is what keeps me coming back. Everyone
is cheering you on, pushing you to try harder, and congratulating
you when it's over. I've never had better more consistent
work outs. Bootcamp is THE BEST!"~Carrie
As
any bride, visions of satin, and tulle danced in my
head, as soon as my Fiance’ proposed. I knew I
would have a hard time finding a gown, but I didn't
expect it to impossible. At an astronomical weight,
a size 22, and low self esteem, running crying from
bridal shops with tiny samples was devastating.
Finally, I found IT! The consultant told me that I'd
have to order a size 28,costing $2,500 more for the
fabric. The manager took pity on me, and granted me
a rush order for free if I came back in 2 months able
to fit a size that didn't house enough lace to curtain
each windows in the White House.
I took on this mountain, knowing it would be impossible
to climb alone. I wanted to join bootcamp, but I couldn’t
keep up. I promised myself I’d be ready by the
April session. When my friend Sheana joined the March
session, she asked about me. I was IN! Three weeks in,
I'm down 15lbs, 2 sizes, and SO thankful that this is
my new lifestyle. It's not only working, but I love
it. The trainers, the group and Sheana, have all kept
me going further than I ever thought I was capable of.
I’ve never been happier, felt healthier, or felt
positive that THIS is my new life. It's not just about
my dress anymore, it's about LIVING. It's about feeling
the best that I can feel each and every day. ~Kara
"Ultimate Bootcamp
has great programs! They hire excellent instructors who provide
a positive environment for all skill levels, while pushing
everyone to test themselves. While it's hard work, they always
make it fun!!" ~JJordan
"Ultimate Bootcamp was one of the
best experiences of my life. I was able to push myself to
limits that I had never explored both physically and mentally.
" ~ Patrick
"Much better
than a lonely gym at 5:45AM. Motivates me to get out
of bed every day... the most important part of any workout
is actually doing it, and this one I do." ~ George
I
have a love-hate relationship with Ultimate Bootcamp.
I hate working out, but love the results, and now am
a full-on junkie. Though I still keep four alarm clocks
by my bed to get there in the morning, I actually want
to get there (despite the pain that I know is coming).
There have been a lot of changes in my life after Bootcamp
-- my running shoes no longer get dusty, water is my
favorite drink, and a drawer stuffed with “graduation”
T-shirts representing my Bootcamp badges of honor: full
pushups (I used to stay on my knees); squat thrusts
(I can’t do a lot, but I couldn’t do any
before); and nightmares I have when someone whips out
a copy of Green Eggs & Ham (take a class with Sandi
and you’ll understand). Those shirts also represent
new muscle definition, 6 triathlons (each faster than
the one before), and the fact that I now look forward
to working out and can’t skip more than 2 days
in a row.
I am not “ripped” and haven’t lost
a ton of weight, but I am in the best shape of my life,
and I know I can do any exercise for an hour because
I made it through Bootcamp with the toughest trainers
around. The clichés are true – work harder
and you feel better both mentally and physically. Bootcamp
trainers say the hardest thing is showing up. They lie.
The smartest thing is showing up. ~ Julie
"Ultimate
Bootcamp has been one of the best workouts that I could
have signed up for. This is the second time that I do
it and it gets better and better! I feel great and I
work harder than I would have alone. The instructors
are wonderful, supportive, and energetic and we're never
bored! If you've never tried it...you need to check
it out. " ~ Jennie
I decided to rejoin with the Ultipass
in the spring ...All in all, I have lost 35 lbs, increased
my muscle tone, my stamina is the highest it has ever
been, I can run with ease which I never ever did, and
I feel great. ~Matt
A lethargic post-college
grad to training for a marathon: My 2 year journey with Ultimate
Bootcamp
It
was April 2007 when I had my first experience with
Ultimate Bootcamp. I was a college graduate, transitioning
into corporate America and my personal health, life
balance and exercise regime was being compromised
in the process. April ’07 was my first four
week bootcamp and my life has not been the same since.
Not only did I get in amazing shape, but the fundamental
workouts taught me about exercise and my body’s
potential. Most importantly, I had fun. The workouts
were tough don’t get me wrong, but the trainers
integrated games, partner and team activities that
made the mornings enjoyable. I looked forward to them.
I have since participated in other 4 week bootcamps
and many Saturday blasts. This past fall, I considered
becoming a certified trainer so I could teach the
bootcamp for Peter and Jill. I have since put that
vision aside to pursue my own personal dreams. Bootcamp
trained, taught and challenged me. Since April ’07
I have participated in many charity walks, races,
and even a woman’s triathlon. October ’09
I will be running the Chicago Marathon. I can’t
help but think if I didn’t learn exercise could
be so fun from UB, I doubt I would be training for
a marathon right now. Ultimate Bootcamp transformed
me from an out of shape lost college graduate to motivated
young professional with health and fitness goals and
I hope it does the same for your other students. ~Natalie
As
a child I was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS),
a loose connective tissue disorder that increases the elasticity
of my ligaments and causes frequent joint dislocations. This
disorder limited my ability to play organized sports and caused
me to prematurely end what had been a successful dance career.
It prevented me from fully engaging in many activities...until
last summer.
Looking to shed a few pounds before my wedding, I enrolled
in Ultimate Bootcamp. I was nervous about potentially injuring
myself or not being able to fully participate in all of the
activities. After working with the instructors for just a
few days, those worries were put to rest. The trainers were
mindful of any setbacks that I endured, but also encouraged
me to push on in whatever capacity I could. The continuous
exercise strengthened my muscles and ligaments, which proved
beneficial for my joints.
I have now set my sights on the finish line of the 2009 Boston
Marathon, something I had never considered doing. Before last
summer, I had never run more than two miles at once! The momentum
that began less than a year ago in Arsenal Park has given
me the stronger body and stronger belief in my physical abilities
that has carried me through the past few months of training.
Ultimate Bootcamp taught me that with a good pair of sneakers
and some determination, I can accomplish way more with my
body than I ever thought possible.
