If you want to know what BASIC TRAINING is really like, and what it could do for you, listen to what our Boot Campers have to say:
 

 

"Vanna: The Journey from Sedentary to Athletic"
 

"Taking a BASIC TRAINING class changed

the person I was into the active person I am today. Before BASIC TRAINING, I couldn't run at all! I always thought that I just wasn't made to run. The first day of class I couldn't even make it a quarter mile, and by the end of the very first week I ran a mile in 11:31 during our first PT Test. I was amazed! That was the beginning of my journey into becoming a runner. Today, I run 6 days per week with an average run of 5 miles. I have even run a half-marathon! Now I enter races and have even placed in some! Colin is a terrific instructor and motivates you to do more than you thought you could!"

 

                                        


 

"Raybo: Physical Transformation at Any Age"

 

"In Oct. 2010 I had been out of the gym routine 6 mo due to an accident and procrastination. I signed up for a single 6 wk session of BASIC TRAINING to motivate me back into the Y. The first day I came home with aches & pains in places I didn't know existed, and the realization that I couldn't even run 1/8 mi before I would have to walk & catch my breath. I also left that day determined to return and try to improve. I had been in group exercise @ other Y's with enjoyable success but something was VERY different. This format centered around a common theme-MOTIVATION, which energized everyone at any level! Because of the continuous kind words and encouragement of the instructor and everyone in the class I have gone beyond a level I never thought was possible. Thanks to BASIC TRAINING I have trimmed 30 lbs, 4" off my waist plus 10% of body fat. I've improved from that first 1/8 mile to a record of ten miles on a run. I never (before this class) ran or did anything outside the gym and now do a monthly 5K race, speed intervals @ a track, beach yoga, spin, etc. etc. The combination of the indoor exercises and the outdoor running were a great way to get to my target weight. Once there I realized I still needed to pursue a higher level of fitness due to the military statistics the instructor has posted on the wall, for push ups, sit ups, and a 2mi run if I wanted to be fit for my age (58). Another plus are the friendships I've made with truly wonderful people who simply want to live life and be happy and put a smile on my face while I work at being fit. Thank you Colin and everyone for all you do to make BASIC TRAINING a success and to make my life more enjoyable than it's ever been!"            

 

 

 


 

"Brando: Learning to Love Running"

 

"BASIC TRAINING can work for anyone at any fitness level. I love the fact that there is accountability to be there. The people I have met in class are great; we support and encourage each other to do the best...I was not much of a runner and since BT I have really come to enjoy running. I have been involved in 5k's, 8k's, 10k's and have ran two half marathons...I really enjoy the class so exercise has become fun for me and I have support and knowledge to lose weight. BT is like a second family to me and has become a part of my life."
 


 

"Playah: Getting Fit with the Family"

 

"I joined BASIC TRAINING in November of 2010...I was so nervous on the first day and so embarrassed to realize that I could only do ONE sit-up, just a few good push-ups, and my mile run was nearly 14 minutes! One year and 7 sessions later, I average 65 sit-ups and push-ups, and have finally gotten my mile under 10 minutes! Colin and everyone in the class are so encouraging, helpful and motivating! The energy is contagious and eventually I was able to inspire my daughter (Tutu) and my husband (Skillet) to join me for the early morning torture. It has been great to get fit as a family. So far I have lost 40 pounds, and though I haven't reached my goals yet, I am closer than I was yesterday. Thank you BASIC TRAINING! This program has truly changed my life!"
