You will not only workout, but you will also be provided with tools to help you keep your commitment to an active lifestyle. Offered in Plano & Murphy.
* All Bootcamps occur outdoors and moved indoors in the event of rain and during the colder months when the class temperature is less than forty-two degrees. Some Group Trainings may take place indoors only, outdoors only or both indoors and outdoors - depending on the group and location.
* All Bootcamp Sessions are fitness-oriented for a vigorous/challenging workout and are packed with resistance/ weight training exercises and energizing activities such as agility drills, lunges, push-ups (modified or full), ball exercises, aerobic boxing, core technique and abdominal exercises with yoga & pilates inspired movement and more. Modifications are provided for many exercises.

You will be encouraged and challenged to work hard, but you will not be "pushed" beyond your personal limits. 100% effort is all you will be asked to give. It's not about being an elite athlete, it's about being the best you can be! Your stamina will increase, you'll become stronger and you'll lose weight and/or become leaner, you'll gain confidence and endurance. There is no competition. You will feel and see positive changes in cardiovascular endurance, body weight and composition, muscular strength and endurance, encouraging long-term lifestyle changes that can be maintained. Improvements will vary per individual.
The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the American Heart Association (AHA) updated physical activity guidelines for healthy adults under age 65 are as follows:
- Do moderately intense cardio 30 minutes a day, five days a week OR Do vigorously intense cardio 20 minutes a day, 3 days a week AND 8-10 strength training exercises, 8 to 12 repetitions of each exercise twice a week.
Moderate-intensity physical activity means working hard enough to raise your heart rate and break a sweat, yet still be able to carry on a conversation. It should be noted that to lose weight or maintain weight loss, 60 to 90 minutes of physical activity may be necessary. The 30-minute recommendation is for the average healthy adult to maintain health and reduce the risk for chronic disease.
