Boot Camp For Women
        "Exercise Can Be Fun!"

Since Shawn has been helping me, I have noticed my energy levels skyrocket, my husband even comments on how I can never sit still anymore. Shawn has helped me to realize that exercise can be fun and he has opened my eyes to the fact that I actually LOVE to exercise, and without that push of Boot Camp and Shawn's motivation, I'm not sure I would have found that. Shawn has been more than willing to take the time to help me get down the right path, whether it be with nutrition or just that extra push. Since I have been working with Shawn I have lost 10lbs, and feel the best I have in a very long time. Everyone asks me what is all this hype about Boot Camp, I proudly tell them how Shawn is changing my life and countless others. Thanks Shawn!!

"In My First Month I Lost 19 Pounds!"

Hello my name is Karissa Schandorff I recently joined this all womens bootcamp after seeing it on the kttc news one night! I am so proud of myself for getting off the couch and calling Shawn. In my 1st month  I lost 19 pounds. When I started I was always tired and never had a ounce of energy, now that i have done this bootcamp for 2 months my energy is through the roof, I have a more positive attitude and feel like a new WOMEN! My fitness level was about a 0 when I started and its now at a 8.5. I feel GREAT! I even sleep better and get to workout all my stress from the day at bootcamp.  If I have questions on nutrition or exercise, Shawn goes the extra mile to make sure you have all the information you need to be successful!  I get to make new friends each month. I love this bootcamp!  This bootcamp alos has a EAT seminar which also gives you tools to eat healthier and what to eat! I have changed my eating habitis and am now eating healthier and eating foods that also help give me energy and not take it away! I would recommend this bootcamp to every women I meet! You will be amazed! And the last great thing about this bootcamp is its offered more than one time a day, there is a morning class and an evening class which is great also so that you can choose which one fits better in your schedule! Il look forward to meeting you when you join!

"I've Started Getting Up Early On My Off Days To Work Out!"

6:00-7:00 in the morning!  You’ve got to be kidding me.  I am not a morning person, but after having two children and falling out of any type of normal exercise routine, I desperately needed something to get me moving again.  When a friend brought Shawn’s boot camp for women to my attention I knew this was exactly what I needed to get back in the swing of things.  After two weeks of getting my butt kicked I feel great and don’t think twice about getting out of bed in time to make it to class. (I’ve even started getting up early on my off days to work out on my own at home)  I’ve noticed my clothes are fitting a little more loosely and my energy level is much higher than what it was previously.  Thanks for helping me get back into shape.

"The Women In Boot Camp Are Real People Just Like Me!"

Because of health issues and a knee injury, I slid out of the exercise groove.  I needed the opportunity to get rid of the excuses and get off the couch and start something for ME.   The camp time it perfect and the women in it are real, just like me.  I was skeptical at first to commit to a "Boot Camp", because I'm not the cheerleader or yelling type.   I go at my own pace, there is no shame involved and it is very rewarding to my esteem that in just two short weeks I have: 1) more energy, 2) sleep better and 3) my jeans already fit better.   This camp is a no-brainer.   The hour goes by quickly and I appreciate the new challenges and lack of boredom.

"The Trainers Are Great Instructors!"

I can’t even begin to tell you how great I feel after just two shorts weeks of boot camp. I am definitely getting the workout I expected.  Every day is different and more fun than the last.  The trainers have been really great instructors and have given us the push we all need to get in shape.  You are always willing to take the time to answer our questions and give us advice, whether it is diet, exercise, or just that emotional lift we all need.  There is nothing better than waking up early in the morning and going to meet with all your newfound friends to exercise and be energized the rest of the day.  I never thought working out could be so much fun!  I have joined many health clubs over the years only to be disappointed with the results.  This boot camp idea is exploding and there’s a good reason why – because it flat out works!

"I Feel Energized As Well As Less Stressed!"

After 2 weeks of boot camp I have seen a HUGE difference in my stress level, attitude, and physical appearance. I feel so healthy after I leave boot camp its like I have to eat healthy the rest of the day.  I feel energized as well as less stressed.  My body has been getting stronger and has been trimming down.  My stomach has lost an inch in two weeks.  I feel fantastic.  I have had so much fun during boot camp I barely notice I'm working out.  It is money well spent!!!

Just wanted to let you know that my daughter made the greatest comment to me today as she was giving me a big bear hug around the waist.  She yelled out, "Mom, you're losing weight!"  Evidently, she used to just touch her fingers together and now she can hold one of her wrists during the hug.  So, yes, it does take some time, but it is worth it in the end:)

For years I had been waffling in my own unhappiness about my fitness level and look and shape of my body- I would begin a weight loss program and stop, I would get myself all mentally prepared to start "on Monday" and then push it to the next day, week or month- it was a pattern for me. I suffer from that well known illness some Mom's tend to get- “never put myself first disease.” Since I have started boot camp I have made myself a priority again. The workouts are hard but the ladies are supportive and the trainers give me the extra push and accountability I need to be there each day FOR ME! The early morning class times help me get myself to boot camp and get it out of the way for the day- I’m a busy working mother of 5- not only is my workout done, but since I have put that much effort into things it changes my choices from bad to good for the rest of the day. I am not where I want to be yet and I know I have a long road ahead of me- in fact directly before beginning this program I was considering weight loss surgery. Now I know I can do this on my own! I have lost weight but more importantly the shape of my body is changing and I have more energy than ever before! I’m not the only one that is noticing these changes either if you know what I mean! (Wink, wink)

All the time I wasted  sitting around thinking about doing something to change myself I dealt with body pain that I used as an excuse to keep me down- my feet hurt, my back hurt, I was too tired etc. Now that I have been working out for almost 6 weeks; I no longer have foot pain, I no longer have lower back pain and my knees don't ache. I have more energy, I'm not winded going up stairs and now I sleep like a newborn baby!
Stop making excuses and start. You don’t have to be great to start- you have to start to be great! You can do this! Take it from someone who has been there and is on the path to change…real and lasting change.

Boot Camp really has made a difference for me.  I was hesitant at first, just because of the unknown, but went full speed ahead into registering.  The first two days were very hard for me.  I saw ladies there who were already quite fit and here I was, having gained back 40 of the 50 pounds I had lost in recent years with a separate weight loss program.  My knees hurt, and I felt I couldn’t do the things as well as the others.  You see, my problem those first few days was in my head, not with the fitness program.  I had always been the "slow kid" in school, even getting D's and F's in physical fitness tests in Phy Ed. My fear of repeating this scenario almost made me quit. 
But, Shawn encouraged me with a smile and told me I was doing well and working hard.  Phy Ed teachers back  in school didn't do that for me.  Chris told me one day that he noticed that I "stepped it up" and "good job."  I sorely needed this encouragement both because of my fear of not performing well and because of things that were hard in my personal life.  My son was hospitalized the weekend before Boot Camp started.  I really had a "reason" to cancel out, at that point.  But, the exercise and kudos kept my stress level down.  After the second week or so, I had NO PAIN in my knees and I can get up off the floor much more quickly.  I can even play basketball in the backyard with my son, who's very active and always wants and partner to play.  My daughter started gymnastics class during Boot Camp.  She wanted to quit the first day after having a hard time. I was able to tell her my story of working through those emotions and she's now enjoying gymnastics.  Neither of us are quitters now!

"I'm Not A Quitter Anymore!"
Hi my name is Jane and I've struggled all my life with my weight.  After finally successfully losing 90 pounds on Weight Watchers over 7 years ago, I have always wanted to feel stronger and healthier with exercise and the right nutrition.  I have found both of these things thru Shawn and his wonderful boot camp.  Finding out that exercise alone is not always enough but adding good nutition and a positive attitude has put it all together.  I've never had so much energy and I love the way my clothes fit.  You deserve it Ladies!!!  Treat yourself and feel awesome.

"Join Boot Camp & Feel Awesome!"
I want to personally thank you for putting an ad in the Rochester Post- Bulletin. When I saw, Boot camp for Women, I said I need to sign up. I sent out an email to several of the teachers I work with and said...if you are looking for a new challenge join the Boot camp for Women this summer. I turned 40 in March and I have always been active- but I honestly have been getting bored with my usual workouts.  I thought the boot camp would be a perfect challenge for me. I didn't hesitate and I signed up for 3 months- without knowing what I was getting into to. I have not been disappointed yet. I feel energized and rejuvenated.  The camp has been challenging and motivating.  I haven't had a morning where I dreaded getting out of bed at 5am....I look forward to coming and to trying new exercises.  Thank you for helping me reach my goals and for the positive environment to feel good about myself.

“I’ve Lost 18 Pounds!”

“Since I’ve started boot camp I’ve lost 18 pounds and I feel great!  I have more energy to play with my kids and I’m not as tired as I use to be.  I enjoy having Shawn as my trainer and working with other ladies as we conquer out fitness goals together.  This is a great experience and I encourage any woman out there that is looking for a different exercise routine or a way to get motivate to try Boot Camp.  It's your first step to the finish line!
