| As soon as I got married, my weight gain began. I was conscious of it, but always found a way to dismiss it. “What was 5 pounds? I will join the gym when I have more time” were things I often thought to myself.
Five pounds very quickly became 45 pounds, yet I still choose to ignore the change. I often tried dieting and exercise, but I only stuck with those for a month or so. I was not happy with the way my clothes fit and what I saw in the mirror. My weight finally steadied at its peak and stayed there for nearly 1 ½ years.
I knew I need to do something, but I also knew I would never make it on my own. That is when I heard a commercial for Auburn Adventure Boot camp. I quickly checked out their website and signed up as a birthday present to myself. This would be a new start for a healthier lifestyle I thought.
ABC was not at all what I expected it to be. It was so much more! It was a positive and encouraging environment where no one judged you for based on your size or physical fitness level. There was no yelling or negativity; no one forces you to do things outside your abilities. You are given great nutrition advice and learn things you can take with you for the rest of your life.
Since I began my ABC journey on January 24th, I have lost a total of 28 lbs and 10% of my body fat. I have gone down two pant sizes, and lost many inches. I still have a long way to go to reach my goals, but for the first time ever, I truly believe I will make it there.
I am now enrolled in the VIP program which is a commitment for 8 more camps. I look forward to going to boot camp everyday, not only for the exercise but for the friends and support system I have gained along the way.

This fitness and weight loss program is honestly the best gift I have given myself. It is motivating, stimulating and challenging…everything my old routine lacked. It jumpstarts my day and I have met a wonderful group of women from all walks of life. I receive dedicated personal instruction – I couldn’t ask for anything more in an exercise program. You need to do this for yourself.

I was completely bored with exercising. I have exercised my whole life and needed a change. It's great to be excited about my workout program again. I'm beginning my 3rd camp soon!

The Adventure Boot Camp is simply the best! I particularly like the variety of activities and the sense of fun that's built into the program. I really felt like I was getting the maximum benefit out of the program. I highly recommend the program to anyone wanting to improve their fitness and overall health.

I have to admit I was a little skeptical about something entitled "Boot Camp". I envisioned a lot of yelling and not the most nurturing environment. However, since day one of camp, I have been nothing but thrilled to wake up and hang out with my newly acquainted friends. After two camps, I have learned so many new exercises that have stirred muscles I didn't know I had! The biggest change for me has occurred in my arms, hips and abs. I feel so much leaner and firm. I'm into a size 4 and my energy level has seen a significant boost. So, whether it's interval training with weights or yoga and Pilates, I look forward to every morning's new adventure.Lisa M.
Wow! What can I say about Boot Camp. I can say so much I don't know where to begin. I am 32 years old and have tried many different things to try and get myself into shape. Including working out with a personal trainer that cost me ALOT of money and just ended up hurting my knees. When I thought about doing Boot Camp the idea of getting up to workout at 5:30 in the morning freaked me out a little. Well, I am currently involved in my second camp. After the first 4 week camp I noticed a difference in my body composition that I never had prior. I have never really had a weight problem, yet was never really toned either. My legs and butt were on the flabby side, and as I get older I noticed it getting worse. Right now I feel so good in my clothes - I can't believe it. People have noticed a change in my body. My hips had started getting little fat pockets on the sides and those are GONE! I am amazed at the results. Getting up and working out at 5:30 has been easy to adjust to and believe it or not, I have lots of energy throughout the day. I Love Camp. Thank you for the dedication to all of us! You are awesome!

I have been away from a fitness lifestyle for years. I replaced fitness for watching my bottom lines grow. I arrived at boot camp overweight and out of shape - a true couch potato who loved food and hated exercise. But, I knew it was time for a change and boot camp sounded like just the cure. What I was really looking for was something to jump start me into better fitness and eating habits. What could be better than four weeks of intense fitness training with other women under the guidance of an experienced trainer? And the classes were great! The variety of activities and pace of the class made the hour fly by each day. Don't get me wrong, it was a lot of hard work. I was pushed harder than I would ever push myself working out alone. But it also allowed for the individual abilities of each participant. It didn't matter that I was the slowest or the weakest. What matters is that I worked at and improved at everything. And the results are impressive. During the four weeks, I lost eight pounds. I lost two inches each around my chest, waist, and hips. I also lost over one inch on each arm and leg. I improved my one mile run time by 10%. Plus, I have more energy than ever. Best of all, it has given me just the boost I was looking to attain. I'm now eating better, sleeping better, and exercising regularly. I have the hope and belief that I can continue my new fitness habits and my journey to a leaner and healthier me. And I'm looking forward to returning to future boot camps to challenge myself again.
Thanks!
