Boot Camp Is In Full Swing

After a long drug out process of deciding where to take my outdoor boot camp program, it became obvious one day while driving down C.R. 17 in Elkhart. And after a couple of meetings with the owners of Sports Center, God provided me an opportunity to bring my boot camps indoors and to do so all year around.

Below is a little piece of what the ladies are doing in camp.



This new hybrid version of boot camp will allow me to have a greater impact on Michiana residents, and do so through year round boot camps. Now with having a permanent year round location I can take my boot camp game to the top level. Just as Malcolm Gladwell mentioned in the videos from a previous post, there is a phenomenon of success based around the 10,000 hour principal.

After much research he found out there was a common thread running through EVERY successful person. No matter if they were a high level athlete or a top level computer programmer, they all had the opportunity to practice and hone their craft(s) more than most of their peers.

And the magic number......10,000 hours of experience in what they mastered.

After reading this in his boot "Outliers", I put pen to paper and figured out after 4.5 years of coaching Boot Camps, CrossFit classes, personal training and nutrition classes I have racked up close to 4,000 hours as a Fitness Professional.

At first this looks to be a lot of time in my craft, but according to the success stories in Malcolm's book, I am not even half way to perfecting what I love to do for a living. And this takes me to my current position.

As of Tuesday the 14th we are 7 days into the 21 Day Rapid Fat Loss Boot Camp. We have 36 ladies combined in the 5:30 camp and 9:00 a.m. classes. All are working their butts off because they want to feel better, look better and simply be better.

And boot camp has been exactly the platform to make that happen!

In the above video clip, you can see some of what they are doing in week 1. Now I will have to apologize for the music. Apparently my HD Flip does not work with my movie maker editing software. So you will notice there is some cheesy music called "Bouncin" the camera uses when editing a movie on its own.

Nonetheless, here is a teaser of what the ladies are doing in boot camp.

As for the next round, the open to the public boot camps start October 4th. There will be a 5:30 & 9:00 a.m. class running 5 days a week. To register and to find out what about the program you can visit the boot camp site. The one thing to keep in mind is that, unlike in the past, there are no stopping dates here. Boot camp enrollment is ongoing and you can start at any time. The $97 21 Day Rapid Fat Loss Boot Camp is closed, but enrollment for the first "regular" camp is going on now.
