"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.

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.
