We started our program in 2006 and used the word ‘bootcamp’ because it was catchy but we also wanted those who were interested to understand that this wasn’t going to be just a walk in the park.  However, we also weren’t going to adapt the unhealthy characteristics of the stereotypical bootcamp programs such as yelling and screaming, belittling, and elitist fitness training.  Since that time, bootcamp has intimidated some but helped countless others.

There is no doubt some controversy as to how ‘legit’ our program is, but only for those who have not been to bootcamp.  By ‘legit’ I mean the fact that it is the right fit for them.  Results speak for themselves and our program has walking, talking billboards all over the Northeast Kingdom and beyond.  It comes back to that word ‘bootcamp’ that stereotypically has people hesitant.

Oh, and the injuries, let me ask you something; when was the last time you saw a sports team with zero injuries?  Active people sometimes get hurt.  However, inactive people get hurt far more.  Our injury rate is extremely low in comparison to the individuals we have in our program and has gotten progressively lower since we have started.  I wish I could count how many injuries have been PREVENTED from our program because of better balance, stronger bones, ligaments, and muscles, and a harder focus on weaknesses.  I will bet that the prevention of injuries has surpassed the occasional injury of our clients 100 fold.

Do we do things in our program that promote injury? No, we do things in our program that promote results and push comfort zones so that our clients can get the best results possible.  You won’t see our clients balancing on one leg on a stability ball will performing an overhead press.  However you will see metabolic circuits using weights to challenge the individual.  You will see people who are pushing themselves to new levels of results by challenging their abilities, but in a safe manner.  And you will NOT see instructors yelling and screaming at clients because they are unable to perform an exercise.  Rather the instructor is coaching through the movement and/or offering a modification to a movement so the client is still able to perform the workout.

This is perhaps one of the biggest things that sets us apart from most bootcamp programs in the world (I can say this because I am a business coach for bootcamp business owners around the world).  The diversity of our program that allows for virtually all levels of fitness to participate in our program and achieve maximum results.  What else sets us apart is the family atmosphere all of our clients experience when they walk through our doors.  Every client is treated like an individual and is welcomed into our family with open arms.  These two things are not something someone would relate to a ‘bootcamp’ program.
