Staying Healthy during the flu season

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Staying healthy, especially during this time of the year is a hard thing to do. A lot of our campers have missed a lot of days this month because of the flu and sinus infections. It has even hurt our trainers.  The one thing we want to do for our campers is remind them that if they miss camp sessions, they can always be made up another week. We will not penalize you boot camp days because you are sick.  Staying healthy and fit is our business and helping our campers stay healthy and reach their fitness goals is our number 1 priority.  Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help you out.  Below are some tips to help you stay healthy during this rough flu season.
