As an avid cyclist, I get the benefit of having strong legs and good cardiovascular capacity from my time on the bike.  Cycling, however, is very repetitive activity that does not promote whole body fitness and promotes stress on particular body areas.  My participation in Get Fit Bootcamp helped me to address my whole body fitness, release the stress of body areas affected by repetitive cycling and complement the cycling exercise that I enjoy in a social environment.

Every Get Fit Bootcamp session begins with stretching. Get Fit Bootcamp staffers were quick to identify my limited hip flexibility.  Common amongst cyclist, my “tight” hips were addressed with a series of stretching positions that I performed at the beginning of each session.  Staff also demonstrated additional stretching positions that I could perform on my own.

Strength exercises focusing on the arms, both biceps and triceps areas, and the core, abs and back, are a regular part of every Bootcamp session.  Both of these areas, arms and core, are not exercised enough in my cycling.  My participation in Get Fit Bootcamp improved the strength in both my arms and core after long rides.  This relief is certainly a result of the strength gained in exercises focusing on core strength.

Camaraderie of the participants in Get Fit Bootcamp is high.  Staff promotes peer support by placing participants of similar ability in groups, so that your boot camper’s partners are very near your fitness capacity.  Staff can then feel to choose exercises and drills that will appropriately challenge the boot campers in your group.

I highly recommend Get Fit Bootcamp to anyone interested in a fun and meaningful exercise experience.    – Jeff A. .
