Austin Boot Camp For Men Testimonials

Scott T., SW Austin

In June 2007, I stepped on the scales at a friend's house in Maine and found that I was at 207 lbs. I knew something had to be done. After talking with my niece about the boot camp she was going to, I decided I would give it a try. So, in July, the week of my 47th birthday, I began Austin Adventure Boot Camp. I ran my first mile in 10:23. After the first 3 weeks of camp, I was down to an 8:30 mile, and had already lost two pant sizes (from a 36 to a 34). I liked what was happening and joined the 2nd boot camp. After 6 weeks of camp, my mile was down to 8:00 minutes, I had lost 25 lbs & my pant size dropped to a 32. From September to December there was not a camp available for me, but I was now motivated to continue my success. So I continued to run and workout with various exercises that I had learned at boot camp. By the time boot camp started up in January '08, I had lost between 40 - 42 lbs and was now at a size 31 waist. My next boot camp was 4 weeks long. I ran my first mile in 7:34 and finished the camp with a 7:13 mile, 18.5% body fat, and now having to buy size 30 pants and shorts.

I am such a believer in this camp. I have not been to a McDonalds or a Wendy's since July; I am down to one Dr. Pepper a day, which is my morning caffeine, and if I decide to splurge during the day or on the weekends, I just go run a couple of miles to work it off. I am now in control of my body, and it has become fun to reach my goals, and break records I never thought possible.

Many thanks to Stephanie for creating this avenue and my trainers for working me hard, yet making it fun and interesting. Thank you all!

I just finished my 4th boot camp. I am addicted. I have lost over 10 lbs and I have turned a lot of fat into muscle. I knocked over a minute off my mile time: 7:55 to 6:40. I have increased my push up count by over 25 reps: 23 to 51. The results are great. I am getting results that I know I would not get in a gym.

I wanted to pass along a note about your southwest men's camp and our instructor. He's truly done an awesome job. In our four weeks, he's pushed and motivated the group. We are always doing new and challenging exercises and he keeps it fun. The results speak for themselves: I've dropped 15 pounds and improved my mile time by two minutes...

I just want to say thank you for the class. It has been quite motivating and given me the 'jump start' that I needed.

Patrick Y., SW Austin

I wasn't really sure what to expect, but I can honestly say the workout you put us through was more challenging than I expected. It made me realize how out of shape I really am, and I look forward to improving.

I have really enjoyed the workouts this week. I'm usually not a morning person, but I am amazed how much energy I have in the morning after these workouts.
