Description

Specialties

Our Boot Camp philosophy has evolved beyond military-​type drills and teamwork. The point is still to get a great workout with lots of intensity, but your coach will modify the workouts as needed for your fitness level, skill, and needs — individual attention even in a group program. Our coaches educate, motivate, and create a team environment that brings success to every participant. We welcome all ages and fitness levels, and promise you’ll have a blast while getting in great shape. The daily emphasis alternates between total body and core/​cardio. A week may be set up like this, or may be the opposite to provide variety: Mon/​Wed/​Fri: Total body challenge; Tue/​Thu: Core and cardio emphasis. If you want to see what we’re all about, come to a class and check it out (Try a class for FREE). Come on over, see our instructors in action and try a class at no charge! Regardless, the Saturday morning class is ALWAYS FREE.

I was really impressed with Menlo Fit Brien Shamp’s coaching and expertise. He took extra time to show me modified poses, self massage, breathing, and other critical techniques that have already greatly helped relieve some long standing chronic shoulder/​back pain and associated headaches. This will allow me to continue my workout routine safely and effectively once again – something I have been trying to figure out for a long time. I am also grateful for the ART therapist he recommended as a further way to supplement my treatment. I highly recommend this program. Thanks Brien!

This exercise class is great — Brien knows what he’s doing when he develops the exercise routines and they do a great job quickly increasing your strength and aerobic capacity. The classes are small enough to give you the feeling of having your own trainer without having someone breathing down your neck. As you’re going through the exercises (different selection for every class), Brien or Kevin make sure that you’ve got the right form and take the time to offer correction or encouragement, or just catch up. The camaraderie of the group and the diversity of exercises makes it fun. I’ve belonged to a lot of gyms and never liked the group exercise classes at all — Brien’s approach combines the benefits of a personal trainer with the fun of a group activity, and, this is not a case where everyone in the whole class does everything at the same time while the cheerleader at the front perkily barks out commands. the class breaks into groups and goes through a set of usually interesting exercises.

Menlo Fit is an awesome workout and I can’t say enough good things about the instructors. They are very helpful and knowledgeable, even if you are a beginner or an athelete. Each workout is different and I love the results. The people that I work out with are a lot of fun and this bootcamp is good for everyone. I really enjoy Saturdays since they are open to anyone, so you get a variety of people to workout with! I look forward to every workout! Brien is great at helping you achieve your individual goals, both physically and through good nutrition.

The pros:
* Instructors were very nice and managed to be enthusiastic and encouraging without being either militaristic or overly peppy.
* I attended every weekday for 1 month and every workout was different. Individual exercises might be repeated, but never a whole routine.
* I was definitely stronger and fitter after completing the program (I had never done any bootcamp type workout before).
I might have continued… but:
* The price. I did it through a Groupon at a price I could afford, but the usual $ 150/​month is way beyond what I can justify.
* To be clear, I had absolutely NO ISSUE with recurring billing during my experience, however, the fact that their normal program does have automatic renewal so far in advance would scare me away from signing up. If the service were $ 30/​month then no worries, but it would suck to lose $ 150 because you didn’t cancel 2 weeks before the next month.

Menlo Fit Boot Camp is phenomenal. The personality, support and encouragement the instructors offer is sincere. They are knowledgeable, supportive and motivating.
Physically this program makes you feel amazing! My muscles ached quite a bit during the first week but since then, the recovery time has become much shorter. My sense of strength and confidence increased quickly. Always changing it up, your body never gets used to the same old routine and you never get bored.
I’m continually motivated to achieve and excel with the thoughtful and varied workouts. I have more stamina. I’m more alert, stronger and more agile. I have gained strength, cut weight, and increased flexibility and endurance. You get one heck of a good workout time and time again and it’s never the same old routine. The trainers are great and they keep you motivated and appropriately challenged.
All ages, shapes and sizes are there and everyone is very friendly. They accommodate people from beginners to athletes, newcomers, old timers and people with injuries. There are folks in great shape who do a very tough work out, and those injured or getting back into shape can modify the exercises… so it’s perfect for anyone at any fitness level.
I honestly can’t say enough good things about this program. Come give it a try and you’ll be back again for more… that’s a promise!

I’ve been doing the Menlo Fit Boot Camp twice a week since early Jan 2011 and I love the results. I’ve clearly gotten stronger and leaner. Every day is a different workout with different focus — — no two days have ever been the same. It’s a nice group of people and there are four times to choose from 6, 7, 8, or 9 am.
The Menlo Fit Boot Camp (weight bearing workout) compliments my Menlo Masters swim workouts (which are not weight bearing). I have found a routine that works great for me and would never give up either workout.

Nothing really inventive or groundbreaking here– all the generic boot camp exercises in a class model that is cliché. I don’t really understand the claim that this is the best in MP/​PA for losing fat, etc for…$ 149 a month?! Are you kidding me??? I know it’s supposed to be a bargain with all of the options for class times, but it’s impossible to attend all of these classes to make the price worth it AND I want variety. It’s more expensive than Equinox (which has nicer showers, Kiehl’s products in the locker rooms and dozens of different classes including really innovative programming), the JCC (brand new facility, huge class list that includes more than just boot camp and many of the instructors also teach at Equinox), or even the YMCA (which is less expensive and still offers variety). If you compare your options nearby, you’ll see that there is better value and innovation for your money.

Outstanding workout program… different circuit program each day so it never gets boring. Well-​educated instructors who are fun and knowledgeable.
As a former athlete, I can be pretty particular about workouts and I have REALLY enjoyed these and feel that I am getting a lot out of them. I am a «healthy sore» for a day or two after each workout.
Also, the schedule is so flexible there is really no excuse to not make 2 – 3 classes a week — definitely a built in «guilt-​factor» that helps get me to the gym!
Since this is a community program, a benefit that I did not think about before I signed up was that I am meeting other local folks who are so nice and help «share the pain» of the workouts… this part has been a particularly nice surprise.

This is a great way to get an excellent workout. Each class is different and challenging. The trainers are very helpful and make the class fun. I highly recommend it!

Menlo Fit Boot Camp is a great work out experience! I’ve tried a few other programs in the area and although the classes themselves were good, the people weren’t nearly as welcoming as at Menlo Fit! Another great plus is that the classes are indoors and there are many times to choose from. Every day is a different workout which keeps things interesting. I’ve definitely noticed a big difference in myself since I joined.
