Melissa Burroughs
I started to see results almost right away! The more weight I was losing the more it drove me to work harder. I’d set realistic goal weights, work hard and hit it! My husband hugged me one day and said ‘where did you go?!’ Those were the best words I had heard in a very long time! Read Melissa’s Story

So in these almost three months I have lost 30 lbs and a few inches (I don’t know total inches). Like I said I don’t regret any of it one bit…. And to be honest it’s the easiest/simplest program ever.

Ray Cybaluk
After just 7 months I have lost about 26 lbs. I attend 2-3 Boot Camps a week and have watched steady improvement both in my cardio conditioning as well as my strength conditioning. The thing that has encouraged me the most is the efficiency of my exercising. What used to take 2-2.5 hrs 3 times a week has been compressed to 1 hour 3 times per week. Not to mention the more aggressive results than I had EVER experienced previously. Read Ray’s story…

On June 10th of 2011 I suffered a stroke which required emergency brain surgery and was hospitalized until August the 1st.

Why do I keep on getting up at 5 am for 5:30 boot camp?

Why do I keep putting one foot in front of the other when my body is so tired that all I can think of is the couch???? Sometimes I wonder that myself. Read more..
