Holy Smokes, the temp at the gym has been insane. I know by posting this I will probably turn people away, but I always believe in being up front with people about boot camp. I always tell them, we are not a pretty little gym with mirrors, music and towel service. We don’t have air conditioning or heat. It’s been 100 degrees inside in the summer and in the 30s during the winter. I find that there is a crazy group of people who get excited by that.

What I love most about our gym is that we are “old school, bare bones, your body is your machine” kind of place. Yeah, we throw in Russian Kettlebells, tires, telephone poles, TRX, sleds and some other equipment, but it’s mostly about using your own body to move better, get stronger and yes, burn some fat.

I was so proud to hear that 2 of our male clients each lost 20 pounds last month. That is 20 pounds in 4 weeks, coming just 3 times a week for 45 minutes! One of our female clients lost 10 and she only comes 2 times a week. Others dropped 2 sizes in the past 4 weeks.

The one thing I love to hear (and see) more than weight loss, is the increase in confidence, the friendships being formed, the healthy habits people are creating, the workouts planned on off days and most of all, people moving better and having less pain.

I love my “job” and I am blessed to be surrounded by some awesome clients and co-workers.
