"I love boot camp. I look forward to it even though it is hard. The effort I put in was so worth it. I only attended 2x per week, run regularly and work out regularly and this 2 hours per week helped me to avoid injuries and made me feel stronger and fitter than I have in years. I felt like I was at recess with my buddies, we laughed, we encouraged each other...just when I thought I could not give any more...somebody would get me to keep on moving. When I could no longer attend I went thought worse withdrawal than I do when I do not have a cup of coffee in the morning. It was great to watch so many different people with a range of fitness levels interact together, support each other, and improve together. Karin did an amazing job of providing a challenge to everyone no matter what their fitness level!"
