Review went from 2stars to 4 stars. WHY? Indoors met my expectations and exceeded them. I returned to Bootcamp in October. I rode my BCycle to the park thinking they were meeting outdoors & nope they moved inside. It wasn’t clear to me from the website that this had occurred. Anywhoo~ I emailed Dustin and got a quick response and detailed info along with an apology. Not required but most appreciated. Indoor classes meet my inner cheerleader needs as in individuals cheer each other along unlike the summer session. Yea~ it was kind of sterile. Nope. I’m not screaming for everyone but a keep it up Joyce is encouraging from folks that have struggled like I am. I don’t ever intend on writing, «I enjoy exercise;» however, I enjoy getting my money’s worth. It’s called VALUE. And this bootcamp has GREATVALUE. If I’m waking up at 5am and making it to class at 5:30am — you better work me like nobody’s business. And they do! WILL takes on Mondays — I call him Dr. Booty. Everything about this dude is work your butt & abs + mix in thighs & keep up your heart rate. ABBY steps in on Wednesdays. She’s a thin Drill Sergeant BUT she can actually do everything she demands of us. There’s only time for a quick breath and splash of water. AMBER — well I don’t have a nickname for her yet but when she’s not teaching she does the classes with us. Along the way, I forgot the diet plan included in the offer. Again another email goes out and within hours I get responses to each one. I love the fact that different ages/shapes/abilities and both sexes are represented but believe it or not… my arch-nemesis is the pregnant lady. SHEDOESN’T KNOWITBUT I COMPETEWITHHER. YEASHEMAYBEPREGNANTBUT I’M OUTOFSHAPE. Now what! Anywhoo, with the work I do I feel like I’ve earned the off days. I am consistently losing bigger numbers than I was doing on my own but for the last 3 weeks of my plan — I’m going daily to get my money’s worth. POINT — TRYITANDSEEWHATYOUTHINK. I still have my Y membership because we need it in this family. Conversely, outdoor locations are nice to have as its a change in scenery but I’m not crazy — I wasn’t going over to Elver Park because I figured they’d make me run that hill. Child… when I’m 40lbs lighter then I’ll jog it. 60lsb lighter… I’ll run it. Until then, I know what I will & won’t do. I undertook this whole let’s get fit with the mantra of «No Complaining.» I’m sure we all have some pregnant lady to keep us motivated & competitive.

The Mr. and I both bought the Groupon for 6 weeks of classes and are really enjoying it so far. We have two more weeks and are not certain we’ll continue, because as the previous reviewer mentioned, it’s very expensive for a group exercise class– about 450% more than my gym membership. The workouts are ‘real’ workouts, though, and while I haven’t lost a single pound, I can feel that I’m already much more muscular.
