After years of working out at my old gym, I found it to be boring – nothing to challenge me or push myself. One day a friend told me about this new work out routine, he was going to at Piedmont Park, it was Boot Camp. I thought he was crazy for waking up so early, to be at the park at 5:45 am, but it still sparked my interest because it sounded so different. So I joined my friend for Friends And Family Day, and it was awesome. The following month, I joined boot camp and I have loved it since. The physical challenges! When I started I could only do 10 push ups in a minute. Now I’m up to 55. I could hardly run because I have asthma. Now I’m running my first Marathon in January which truly could not have happened without the help and training at BTB Boot Camp. Plus I lost about 30 pounds.

After three months into the Boot Camp program BTB asked me to become one of the instructors, of course I said yes. This whole experience has really helped me in every way, not just physically but mentally it has given me so much confidence in myself. I feel great, have lots of energy and getting up at 5:00am is easy now. The best part is working out with a great bunch of people who all feel the same way, ready to challenge themselves and their fellow Boot Campers.
