We are so confident that you will love our Boot Camps and that you will find that we have exceeded your expectations that we guarantee your satisfaction.(available for most camp locations - follow the preceding link for details). Last year we didn't have anyone take us up on our guarantee and we hope to continue our perfect record.

Our Trainers

Each of our trainers are certified Personal Trainers, but more importantly, they love what they do and are committed to having each Boot Camp participant have their expectations not just met - but exceeded.

They love instructing, and enjoy the challenge of creating inspiring classes that will push you to your limit in fun and rewarding ways. Equally important, they are great listeners and they want to hear how camp is going for you and how they can make your experience even better.

Other trainers or coaches I've had in the past cannot compare to Linzee. She has the perfect mix of tough love, motivation, and friendliness. She takes the time to focus and guide each one of us, and it's like she has eyes in the back of her head because you can't slack off when you think she's not watching because she will catch you! She pushes each one of us to work past the point we would have given up on our own. Plus she is funny which also makes Boot Camp more enjoyable!!

"Linzee was the best yoga instructor that I've ever had regarding her descriptions of what to do. As a novice, that's very nice so that I can listen instead of having to look at everything she's doing."
