Bootcamp: You can keep up on the schedule and reserve a spot through an app, which also lists the workout of the day– it’s different everyday. A username and password will be provided to you. You can rack up points to apply to a variety of things like a private session.
You come in and sign in into their computer where you can enter results and it’ll track your progress. You warm up and workout, cool down and you’re out. It’s a great workout and I gauge this by the fact that i always leave drenched in my own sweat and I feel great when I’m sore because it’s from some hard work I’ve put in. If you need a modified workout, the trainers are happy to provide alternative moves for you.
I like having a plan made and just having to come in and do my best without having to keep and purchase my own equipment for my own home. And the others that attend are trying to get a workout in and are so encouraging and helpful as well as the trainers. My favorite is Brian!
People are good about sanitizing what they use after they use it. There’s a water dispenser to fill your water bottle if needed.
I wish I could attend more often. Fuckin’ job. But if you can, they have an unlimited bootcamp option and you can attend as many as you want/​can. It’s a hard workout but you do what you can so it’s for any fitness level.

I LOVE these boot camp classes! I had to back off my running a year ago due to back and foot problems, and was in a workout rut before starting these classes. These classes are amazing because I feel challenged each and every time, in the same way I felt when running, and modifications are offered for those of us with concerns. Also, these classes are perfect for a busy schedule because you are in and out in under an hour. As if all of this wasn’t awesome enough, every instructor I have had has been amazing! I have transitioned from a Grouponer to a member (no small feat!) and am fully intending on staying for the long haul.

I bought this deal from groupon and I have to say the workouts are great ! I I am definitely going to continue after my deal is up.

I am so fortunate to have been introduced to this fitness family! Amazing workouts with amazing people. Sham and Christina are genuinely caring and encouraging! I leave there feeling accomplished each and every time!

I went to my first class today at 6 am! I was kind of nervous and a little scared that it would be too much for me, But I had a blast. Christina is very sweet. I felt very comfortable in the class never felt like I had to do more than what I could handle. I loved it! Looking forward to my next classes!

Inspired Wellness has seriously changed my life! Before coming here I was at my worst! I worked out but I wasn’t seeing results. Not only do they kick your butt in Boot Camps but they also teach you the value of a healthy diet. I recently completed their Cleanse 30 program and lost 11lbs in 30 days… The healthy way! I never thought I could do that! I’ve been going here for over a year now and I have never looked/​felt better! If you want results come to Inspired wellness… You will seriously not regret it. It could be the best decision you ever make.

I really enjoy this studio, the atmosphere is so much better than a gym and I get twice the workout in half the time. Not to mention Christina and Sham are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I am really hoping to continue going here once I graduate college!

This place is just the best.
After struggling for years with unhealthy eating habits, lack of exercise, weight gain, and anxiety, Sham and Christina taught me how to make health a priority in my life and gave me the tools to really make a lifestyle change — no fads, no suspicious pills, just clean eating, exercise, and the support of a community.
In less than one month of boot camps and eating clean I lost 6 pounds, 3.5 inches, and 3% body fat. It has now been two months and the numbers keep getting better. I am significantly stronger, have more energy, my anxiety has almost entirely disappeared, and I can see the physical changes in my body. Inspired Wellness’ holistic approach to health is exactly what I needed to take control of mine.
I also really like that this fits into my busy schedule. Boot camps last about 30 – 45 minutes and are offered multiple times per day. It’s not a lot of time but you definitely work your butt off. Every day is different so the workouts are always new and challenging. Some people are understandably scared of boot camps especially if they are just starting out with exercise, but the classes here allow you to go at your own pace, and the instructors always provide modifications for those who have injuries or are just starting out. It’s an extremely motivating, comfortable, positive environment for people of all fitness levels.
In addition to boot camps, they also offer various dance classes which I have not attended. I believe they have Zumba and Belly-​dancing (and perhaps others), and are adding Yoga classes starting this month.
I’ve tried a lot of gyms and at-​home workout programs and this far surpasses all of them. It’s sustainable. It’s fun. It’s good for you. I really can’t thank Inspired Wellness enough for changing my life and getting me healthy!

I have been attending boot camps for almost a year now. I have seen a huge improvement in my fitness and health.
I usually attend the 6am work out class with Christina and she is incredibly motivating, even at that time, and trust me I am still half asleep (I yawn a lot) and she gets me going! Classes are always different and I never find them boring. Since I have been attending for awhile, I have records of my stamina and strength increasing. I tend to improve my times and can lift heavier weights now. YAY me! The morning workout classes consist mainly of woman (not surprised), different age groups, and fitness levels. Over the class experience is very empowering and positive. I have even purchased my own kettle ball for home use!
I have also completed their 30 day cleanse program. I lost a few pounds and inches but most importantly felt amazing and developed a new relationship with food. My food knowledge has widened and I care about what I put in my body.
I am very pleased with my fitness results and thank Inspired Wellness (IW) for enriching my fitness journey.

Boot camp!!! Best boot camp workout! I’ve been a member of a few gyms where I’ve walked around trying to motivate myself into a kick butt workout. They have never held my ADHD attention, so my son recommended Inspired Wellness. It was exactly what I needed! I show up, they have the routine and they motivate me all the way through the most intense kick butt routine ever!
The staff is friendly and you instantly feel like family. They know your name and your workout limitations. I’m usually the oldest person there and I may not be able to keep up with the youth, but I DON“T HAVE TO because everybody works at their own pace. I have the same routine they do and it may take me a little longer to complete, but I get the same kick-​butt workout that everybody else does!
So, if you really want to get into shape, check out Inspired Wellness! They also have lifestyle coaching where you will learn to eat healthy. I’ve started to change some of my diet, but I haven’t done the 30 Cleanse yet. I’ve only been there one month and I have trimmed some fat and I FEEL GREAT!

Love Inspired Wellness! Joined in April this year and it’s been life changing. I’m a single mom of two children and love that I can get an amazing workout in a short time period! Join Inspired Wellness and you will be inspired!!!

I currently take the bootcamp classes here and LOVE them! I have been attending for the last two months and have already seen some great results… down pounds, inches, and body fat %! I could not be happier! The bootcamps are such a good workout and the owners, Sham and Christina, are great! Both are very motivating and I always leave feeling great and ready to tackle the day :)
I highly recommend this studio!

My husband and I went through Sham’s lifestyle transformation program back in 2011. It might sound funny, but we learned how to eat, drink, walk and sleep correctly! We did the 30 day cleanse and I lost 14 lbs and 11 inches.
Then we started working out with Sham and I lost 10 more pounds. My husband had similar results. It wasn’t easy, it took time and persistence; but as Sham likes to point out, you didn’t get to your unhealthy state in one or two months, so don’t expect to reach all your fitness goals in that amount of time. But I am proof that you can see real results working with Sham.
We still do bootcamp classes. They are an excellent workout and keep you accountable. The workouts are constantly changing so you rarely do the same routine. And they are scalable so that you can show improvement by increasing your weight or repetitions during exercise.
If you are unsure of what boot camp means — I like to describe it as a brief, intense work out. It is circuit training, similar to cross-​fit but without the extreme weights.
I highly recommend Inspired Wellness if you are looking to make a shift towards healthy living and making your body look its best.

Just came back home from a free one hour class, Belly Dancing with Edemia this evening from 6:30pm-7:30pm @ Inspired Wellness and I have to say, I had a wonderful time :)
I learned so much in one class. The first thing you need to know like Edemia said, is to do the shimmy and smile! I didn’t know how much of a workout it was! I definitely felt the burn!!! I was pretty sweaty after the class burning lots of calories! I have met nice, friendly people. There were some Unilocalers in there too! heeeeey!
Edemia is very helpful, funny, and charismatic. I look forward to taking more classes!!!
The Inspired Wellness Building is located in a very nice area. It’s pretty laid back and chill. There is a market store across the street and a coffee shop in the area as well. I feel at peace. The building itself is a good size. It could fit maybe around 30 – 40 people. They also have a huge fan so when it gets real hot we can cool right back down.
I have met Sham before the belly dancing class started. There was a boot camp class going on and he approached me asking if I was there for the belly dancing class and said feel free to sit, it will start about 10 – 15 minutes. He was very polite and he also wrote down on a piece of paper the day and time of the free boot camp for me!

Be prepared to work hard and sweat!
I’ve been attending the 6:15am boot camp for the last month. I even surprise myself by saying that I love it! The instructor, Christina is awesome and motivating. She describes everything you need to do in detail and will provide modifications for those that need it. This is a great program and I am excited to continue doing it. At first, I was unsure if I would be able to do it and was even a little bit afraid. All my anxiety quickly disappeared by day 2.
I have also done 1 on 1 training with Sham Sanghera (owner). He is truly amazing! He helps you with all the aspects of being healthy, not just the work-​out part. He is very knowledgeable and helpful.

Inspired Wellness has truly changed my life mentally, emotionally and physically. I remember being a slave to the big box gyms (24 Hour Fitness to be a little more specific) and always having to wait for a fitness machine, arrive an hour early just to be put on a waiting list for spin or bootcamp classes, and being annoyed by all the meatheads at the gym staring at themselves in the mirror. This past spring, a friend told me about Inspired Wellness and suggested I give it a try. I’m all about supporting small businesses and thought, what is there to lose?
I love the Inspired Wellness location in Curtis Park. If you are driving down 24^th Street off Broadway, it will be past the Crepeville to your right. Plenty of parking on the street. The studio is medium sized with lots of open space with mirrors on one side of the wall and a desk to your left when you walk in. I’ve taken Sham’s bootcamp 3x so far and Christina’s bootcamp 1x. I like that the workouts don’t necessarily last an hour, in fact, it’s not about how long the workout is but rather the intensity.
A workout with Sham varies each time but he is good about prefacing the workouts, demonstrating each activity and making sure we are clear about what we are doing before do it. He stresses time in terms of how quickly we can do the work out in a safe and productive way. The other day, our workout included three parts. The first part included 50 thrusters, 100 lunges, 40 thrusters, 75 air squats (let me tell you it BURNED), 75 lunges and another 30 thrusters. After that, I was beat but excited that I finished first at 11 minutes. The second part included partner work (my favorite) that included ball throws to the wall and kettle ball swings starting with 10 each and decreasing each activity by 1 until you were completely done. It was fun and it kept me competitive with the other groups. The third and last part were 100 Russian twists (as fast as you could go) along with a three minute plank. Overall this WOD was physically and mentally challenging experience. Just when you think you can’t do anymore, Sham pushes you to another level. So imagine taking this class with Sham on a regular basis, but having him switch up the workouts, the weights and the intensity. It will hurt so good and leave you wanting more.
I took one of Christina’s bootcamp classes on a holiday at 8 AM in the morning. I was thankful that they offered this class because I knew that I would likely succumb to the holiday BBQ later that day. Also, most gyms are either closed on holidays or the classes are limited. I knew that if I worked out the morning of the holiday, I wouldn’t feel too bad for being a gluten later. Christina’s bootcamp was fun and I especially loved that she incorporated team work. She also plays the best music (top 40 and fast beats). The workout included going around with our team of 3 in intervals doing squats, ball slams, push ups (ugh, I have a love and hate relationship with push-​ups), kettle ball swings and step ups. We did 5 rotations timed and as usual, my team finished first at 24 minutes! After that, we did a group exercise of 3 sets of jumping jacks and high knees to keep our heart rates going. The next part of the workout included two laps around the block (at your own pace) and pilates inspired crunches and plank. A good indication that I worked out hard is when my entire back is sweaty… trust me… I was drenched.
I have yet to try the lifestyle coaching or the meal recommendations. I know that a some of it incorporates paleo-​like recommendations. I did win the e-​book at a raffle and hope to read it soon. I am thinking of doing the cleanse that everyone talks about before my wedding in November. There are tons of success stories on the Inspired Wellness website so I hope to be one of those success stories.
Another great thing about Inspired Wellness is that they recently began incorporating other classes including hip-​hop, zumba, and Brazilian classes. The prices for the dance and zumba classes are pretty reasonable compared to other studios downtown.
To sum it up, a great place to workout with lots of motivating people to help you reach your fitness goals. I always leave feeling like I pushed myself to the limit and I love that I’m never bored with the workouts. I recommend this place for anyone looking for new and exciting workouts and who want to try something that could possibly change their lives forever.

I’ve been attending both one on one training sessions and the group boot camp sessions since mid March.
The one on one is with the owner Sham Sanghera. It’s been a great experience and not only just for the workout, but for what I have learned about myself. Meaning what are my weaknesses, strengths, and what needed work. Flexibility is a big problem of mine so we have really focused on stretching, rolling out, and improving in that regard. It’s great since these sessions are private without anyone else involved and you really focus on what you need the most.
Boot camps are, for lack of a better word, challenging. They might be 15 minutes or they might be 30. Regardless, I never leave with a dry spot anywhere on my shirt. They will kick your butt! The exercises will hit the entire body and Sham does a great job of advising and helping along the way.
If anyone is considering a healthier lifestyle or just wanting a good workout, I would definitely get in touch with Sham to get more details.

I came to Inspired Wellness to check out the location and take a Zumba class. The facility is basically a room (former dance studio) where the primary function is Boot Camp classes run by the owner. Upon arriving, I asked the owner if I could ask a few questions about the Zumba class. He seemed disinterested and told me to direct my questions to the teacher. I was put off by this because he did seem very passionate about his work, but maybe just not Zumba?
Zumba was wonderful, however. The instructor, Kia, was very good – knows her moves and has great energy. It was $ 5 for a drop-​in and she offered the students water. she was very sweet!
Overall, the studio seems set up for boot camp in a mostly residential area. I’m not sure what the other ‘wellness’ services they offer, and I certainly scanned the room to find info. Looking forward to giving it another chance.

If you want to work hard, get results, have a really cool low key person helping you along. This is the place to go. The owner/​instructor takes the time to get to know you, show you how to do each exercise, and will even provide really good modifications for you if you have injuries/​body issues.
I really would suggest you give it a try. I was intimidated coming in the first time thinking it would be full of super buff, meat markety people. What I found was very welcoming class mates, full of team work, and camaraderie.
Come in, you will be glad you did. They also offer Zumba, and other really cool dance classes.
