BTB Fitness strikes a balance. With backgrounds in a wide variety of sports (skateboarding, BMX biking, weight lifting, softball, volleyball, track, ballet) BTB Fitness founders, Jeff and Melissa Hayes, are primarily interested in fitness programs that are fun, varied, challenging and ever-evolving. It was this interest in finding an extraordinary kind of workout that first led them to try a boot camp routine for themselves. Melissa says, "After gaining a little more than the usual freshman 15 in college, I dragged Jeff to boot camp. The first day, he almost passed out, but, by the end of the program, he lost 4 inches from his waist. I dropped an entire dress size. Nothing like that had ever happened to us before, and we were hooked."
The boot camp concept originated on the west coast and the Hayes had the opportunity to develop one of Atlanta's original boot camp programs. Today, BTB Boot Camp™ continues to be the finest outdoor fitness program in Georgia. Jeff and Melissa work hard to vary the workouts and integrate new and emerging fitness information into the program. With graduate work complete in nutrition, Melissa also ensures that BTB Boot Camp teaches common-sense diet and health principles.
BTB Fitness evolved out of Jeff and Melissa's desire to build on the boot camp concept. With the 2007 acquisition of their Poncey-Highland gym, BTB Fitness is now able to offer BTB CrossFit classes and BTB Personal Training services in addition to BTB Boot Camp. Each discipline complements the others, giving BTB Fitness clients unparalleled access to an endless variety of fitness opportunities.
