Popular: Why the Gym SUCKS!

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

Because this article was so popular, I thought it deserved another posting for the Spring season.

After thinking about it, I came up with Six Reasons the Gym SUCKS:

1.) Everyone else is going to the gym. And they suck.
Did you ever notice that when you look around the gym, everybody is doing the same thing? Like so many sheep, mindlessly plodding away with the misinformation from fitness magazines. People just go to the gym and do whatever everybody else is doing.

Have you ever noticed that when you walk into the gym and you see the same women on the same treadmills, doing the same 4 mile run, that they STILL look the same as they did 5 months ago.  

Make Fitness and Healthy Living A Priority

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Hello Campers…this article was sent out to you last year and I thought it was really inspiring that we need to post it on our new blog. Dana also writes a good paragraph at the end. As always, we truly thank you for choosing Epic Boot Camp and we are proud that we are able to help you live a healthy life and give you that “me” time. Keep up the great work!

When people ask me what I “do” and I tell them that I am a personal
trainer, they automatically start spewing excuses as to why they are
out of shape and unhappy with their bodies. I don’t have to ask a
thing. I am suddenly a shrink. Personal facts surface quickly and
without reserve. Mind you, all I have said is that I am a personal
trainer. Suddenly I’m their life long best friend. “I don’t have time…
I have kids… I go to school… my job wears me out… I just have no
energy… I used to workout…” I’ve heard every excuse in the book.  

Great results from boot camp! Losing inches and pounds!

Friday, October 9th, 2009

I just have to say that this week has been a great week for many campers with Epic Boot Camp.  It has also been a great month and I can’t believe another boot camp session has come to an end. Yes I know today is/was test day and most campers hate running the mile. But nothing makes the trainers happier than to see everyone out there giving it their best! Nothing makes me happier than seeing campers shed off an inch here or 2:00 minutes off of their mile time. What an accomplishment!!!  Today my campers really gave it their best effort when running the mile, during push ups, the plank, burpees, and sit ups. All of my campers improved on their times and that made me feel great because I am able to help them reach their fitness goals. Even with the measurements we saw a lot of campers lose inches! Such great results! This morning really made me excited for the day after seeing the results from all the hard work my campers put in this past month!

To all of our campers in Pittsburgh and Philly…the trainers are dedicated to you! They aren’t your typical gym trainer where they barely pay attention to you or don’t even know that much about you. They are dedicated staff that will respond to emails and focus on the campers at boot camp, and be excited when you see results.  We want to see every single person that comes to our camps succeed.  It is this day that reminds us why we do what we do.  So cheers to all of you for all your hard work and dedication to better health, your families, to us, and most importantly, yourself!

Epic Boot Camp – Week 2

For the 2nd week in a row, I actually worked out on a Monday morning. Which has like never happened, ever. Thanks again Chesco Moms ;) My husband had a scheduled business trip to New Orleans from Wednesday to Saturday this week, so in order to fulfill my 3 days a week at boot camp, I had to go THREE DAYS IN A ROW. Yes, there are many of you out there that exercise 7 days a week, I am not one of you. But this week I gave it my best shot!

She lost 65 pounds with the help of Pittsburgh Epic boot camp!

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Two weeks ago I received an email from my COO Brian in Pittsburgh.  He had shared with me a story with one of our campers and how she had lost a significant amount of weight.  One of our campers had joined Epic in Pittsburgh and made the commitment that she wanted to make a lifestyle change. For a year of coming to boot camp with Brian, she lost a total of 65lbs and followed her suggested diet plan that was designed by her trainer.  65lbs! That is amazing! I know it takes a lot of effort and dedication to lose that much weight, but it is possible and she proved it to herself over that year. What a great story.
