If it’s a stroller friendly program you are interested in, we keep the strollers moving while you work out to keep baby happy too! This program is just as effective as our co-ed boot camp and you will be led by a certified & insured fitness professional to strengthen your core, tone your arms, buns, and legs!

The same is true for those that are currently members of other boot camps in Ontario that want to join our boot camp.

RESULTS! Even Faster!

2011-04-14T08:57:00.000-07:00

Okay recruits, so we've been looking for ages for an amazing product to go hand in hand with our boot camp program which will get our Boot Camp Ontario members weight loss results even faster! Working out and healthy calorie reduction go hand in hand. First and foremost cooking healthy, organically, and low cal is the best way to go. However, for most of us that is a hard commitment to make! So what about just replacing 1 meal a day for 1 month in conjuction with boot camp to really BOOST results! Well that is exactly what we set out to find, just the right product to do exactly that with all the right ingredients! We came up with the Body By Vi 90 Day Challenge and their product line because not only do they offer a 90 day challenge (which you can do for 1, 2 or 3 months while doing boot camp) but also they also offer all kinds of online support and counters, calculators, etc that you will need for your journey! The best part is...this is extremely affordable and costs less than $2 / day...same as what you would have spent on breakfast! You can even win prizes! We are proud to be able to provide such a quality, affordable product to coincide with our toning and shaping Boot Camp Program!! Just click above to check out the many reasons why... YOU SHOULD JOIN THE CHALLENGE!

Remember to talk to your trainer

2011-04-13T03:02:00.000-07:00

Hey recruits,

Most of you have either just started your camp or are half way through your first outdoor session of the season. Have you taken some time out to talk to your trainer?

Make sure you let the trainer know how difficult you felt the first class was on a scale of 1 to 10, and what you expected it to be.

Also, let us know how difficult you find the class now, and what your favourite parts of the program are.

We use this information to continue to tweek and change our program as we go. It is really important information for us to have, and your trainer will appreciate your honest feedback!

Please take a moment if you haven't already to chat to your trainer about how you are feeling, and about the program, we look forward to your contributions!

Keep Fit on the Go and Join Our Challenge!!!

2011-04-08T12:56:00.000-07:00

Being a working mom myself, I know how difficult it can be to commit to keeping active and healthy, especially if you have little ones. So I’ve put together a list of things you can do to keep moving throughout your day, without taking any real “extra” time out of your regular schedule to do it! You will be surprised how easy it can be.

Here are a few things you can do even with the little one(s) at home with you....just think how many extra calories you can burn so simply!

1. Whenever you are counting, reciting the alphabet, or singing to your little one in the high chair, do some wide and narrow legged squats to the tune! They think it’s pretty funny! Jumping jacks work well too!

2. Do walking lunges instead of just walking when going from one room to another. (Your knee should never extend beyond a 90 deg angle).

3. If you are busy in the kitchen, take a couple cans of food and work your biceps, shoulders and waistline by doing simple bicep curls, shoulder press and then drop side to side bringing your arm to your knee (from the side) to work the waist – back and forth like a pendulum.

4. Waiting for a bottle to warm up in the microwave for 1 min? Take that minute to hold a squat against a wall (start with 30 sec and continue to work your way up to 1 min)

5. Sitting down burping the baby, or checking emails can be a great time to sit nice and erect and squeeze & release those gluts for 3 sets of 20!

6. Taking your little one out in the stroller? Get on those running shoes and push yourself to do a brisk walk (or 30 sec run if you have a running stroller) every couple of minutes –you can also purchase ankle weights or a walking “toning” running shoe.

7. While your little one is having carpet time, get on the carpet with them and hold yourself in the plank position for 1 min to work your core! Start with 30 sec and work your way up to 1 and even 2 minutes! (Remember to keep that bum down and make sure your spine is as straight as possible while you hold this pose).

8. Drink a large glass of water as soon as you wake up, and before every snack or meal throughout the day.

9. One of the simplest things you can do to achieve amazing results is to just add a simple delicious protein shake to your daily routine or join a challenge such as the Body By Vi 90 day challenge. Really boost your weight loss and wellness results with some easy, and delicious options! Email us for more info or visit https://bootcampontario.myvi.net/products.html to get started on your challenge today!!!

We hope these quick and easy tips keep your little ones smiling and you moving! Have fun, and “BE CREATIVE”!

There's only one sure way to meet those fitness goals and become a success story...you have to stick with it! Remember to check out some great success stories to help you GET INSPIRED: http://bootcampontario.com/recruit.html

Is Boot Camp Ontario the right FIT for you?

2010-06-21T17:07:00.000-07:00

Our fitness boot camp program is organized in groups with a certified personal trainer, and we choose really nice park settings and we challenge you just the right amount, so regardless of your current fitness level you are always guaranteed an amazing workout. You challenge yourself and do the best you can and we help you along the way! A great benefit of group fitness is seeing how others are doing and always pushing yourself just that much harder. If you are looking to lose some weight, tone, or a way to boost your metabolism then our program is right for you. If you’ve been stuck at your weight, have stopped getting results, or feel you have reached a fitness plateau with your current fitness routine, then our outdoor group fitness bootcamp program is a perfect fit for you.

Our trainers instruct boot camp using metabolic training which means we combine upper and lower body strength training along with upper and lower body cardio training. This means that every muscle gets worked from both the aerobic and strength aspects of exercise. This method is proven to be the most effective and efficient form of exercise for weight loss. Why spend 45 minutes focused on one muscle group when you could be working out two or three muscle groups at a time and burn even more calories. Stop wasting extra time in the gym and get more value for your dollar and join a program that will get you outdoors, get you healthy and fit and quite frankly, get you addicted to a fun bootcamp program!

We are honoured to have helped many recruits find their way to success! We love to honour these recruits and invite you to view our "recruit of the month" page on our website and check out our many testimonials on our website testimonial page. We are about to post many more so check back for more inspiring stories and new before and after photos!

Your leaders in fitness bootcamp!

OAKVILLE BOOT CAMP ONTARIO SUCCESS STORY!!

2010-04-25T09:51:00.000-07:00

With turning 40 just around the corner, and discovering that colon cancer was a new member to our family, I decided that enough was enough. I needed to lose weight. With a new diet, just cutting out the fat and junk, I was able to lose 40 pounds! My doctor told me that it was the best gift that I could give myself. Now that I had lost this weight, I needed to lose the flab. This is where Angela and Basic Training Fitness and their Boot Camp Ontario program stepped in. I began this program in April of 2009 and within just two months I lost another 10 pounds and began to feel so much firmer. Everyone noticed the change, and my clothes fit much better. Today I am less tired, look great, and thoroughly enjoy the time I spend with Angela and the rest of the class. Angela makes each class interesting, and I can honestly say that no two classes are ever the same. I’m still in pain after every class, a pain that I love!! Means that Angela is still finding muscles in us we didn’t know we had!

Your first bootcamp class - how do you feel?

2010-04-17T15:00:00.001-07:00

So we've had many questions come in after our first couple of weeks of the new bootcamp season beginning in Ontario. A lot of those questions have to do with feeling very sore the day after the workout, or sometimes even 2 days after the workout. You can be sure that this delayed onset of muscle soreness is normal.

Fitness bootcamp should, technically, make you feel more energized, toned and fit -- not tired or sore. And while a little bit of fatigue and aches are normal, if you feel awful after you workout it's a surefire way to quickly give up your routine. Here are 14 simple tips that you can use before, during and after your next workout to make sure you feel the way our bootcamp is intended to make you feel: great!

1.Make sure your body has fuel. Eat a small snack about an hour before your workout to help give you energy.

2.Get enough sleep. If your body is truly tried, your workout will only make this feeling worse.

3.When you start our bootcamp for the first time, or you begin to increase intensity/duration of the exercises in our classes, do so gradually.

4.Show up on time, to ensure you get that very important warm-up in before your workout.

5.After you workout, stretch your muscles with us, don't rush away half way through, completing the stretch will help relieve delayed soreness.

6.Don't exhaust yourself. If you're feeling completely out of breath or extremely fatigued, decrease the intensity of your workout. Our bootcamps are designed for all levels of fitness, so we don't expect everyone to do all of it right away or you would have nothing to work up to!

7.Give yourself time to recover. Avoid training the same muscle groups two days in a row. So although we do encourage additoinal workouts through the week, perhaps stick to some cardio machines or walking on the off days until your initial pain goes away after the first couple of classes.

8.Drink plenty of water. Dehydration can lead to fatigue. 8-10 glasses of water is recommended daily, plus additional water before, during and after bootcamp! Don't be shy, stop and drink water whenever you feel you need to during the class!

9.Eat something after your workout. Eating a mixture of protein and complex carbs within 90 minutes of working out will help repair your muscles and give you energy. Some great snack ideas include nuts and fruit, yogurt or cheese and whole-grain crackers or a tuna sandwich on whole-wheat bread.

If you've already worked out and now feel sore, here's what you can do to soothe your achy muscles:

10.Massage the area well.

11. Apply a cold pack to the area that is particularly sore.

12.You can use topical muscle pain gels and creams (talk to your pharmacist). These creams and gels can often relieve your pain in minutes.

13.Give it time. Muscle soreness should go away on its own in a few days. You just have to work out through it, you will be glad you did!!

14.Do some low-impact exercise. This increases blood flow to your muscles and can help to relieve soreness. (Walking on those non bootcamp days, etc)

We hope you will continue to stay encouraged, and know that it is normal to go through this for 1 to 2 classes, and it is only temporary!!

There's only one way to become a success story...you have to come to class!!

We look forward to your continuing participation in our Boot Camp Ontario Programs!!

What is STOLLER FRIENDLY BOOTCAMP?

2010-04-11T07:21:00.000-07:00

Thanks for visiting our blog. We have had a lot of people ask us lately "What is a stroller friendly bootcamp"? Well the simple answer to that is that we do all the same things you will find in a regular bootcamp class, but we adapt it so that if you have a stroller to push you can do that as well as get a full body workout. For example, in our regular non stroller programs we move around the park area less and tend to find one area of green space to mostly workout in. If it rains and we want to stay off the ground or to mix it up once in a while, we will continue to travel on a park path stopping in various areas to do various exercises, sometimes using benches, bikeracks, walls, etc. With our stroller friendly bootcamps we are always working out using the travelling around the park or path format. This way the baby stays happy moving in the stroller while you stay happy working out! We also have a few other tricks up our sleeves to make it extra fun like having you recite the alphabet instead of counting reps for some exercises, or we choose a nursery rhyme that has the same number of repetitions we want to do and the moms with strollers can say the nursery rhyme to the baby instead of counting like the non stroller folks. It's great for those of you with strollers and great for those of you without that prefer a daytime bootcamp. Also, we almost always cancel for rain with stroller classes where as our no stroller programs run rain or shine.

Our stroller clients absolutely LOVE these classes and we get tons of giggles from the babies so don't be shy come give it a try.

If you are not sure if this will be suitable for you, let us know and we can schedule a free trial for you by emailing us at Info@BootCampOntario.com

6 Things Clients LOVE About OUR Outdoor Bootcamp Classes!

2010-03-28T20:45:00.000-07:00

With all the hype about outdoor fitness bootcamp programs, for those of you who have not tried it, it must leave you wondering - what's so great about it? Well, here's a few things that our clients generally love about our Basic Training Fitness - Boot Camp Ontario Program.

1. Scenic Outdoors! It's April thru October so the weather is nice outside. Most people don't want to work indoors all day and then go workout in yet another "indoor" gym setting when it's beautiful outside! They feel like they are getting that opportunity to be outdoors enjoying the warm weather, sunshine, fresh air, and get that workout they need all at the same time!

2. Different! It's not just another cardio fitness class. Bootcamp is different than a fitness class because it really gives you a chance to cross train by having the trainer mix things up each week with different drills, format, etc rather than doing the same class day after day or week after week. You also get a lot more strength training focus in a bootcamp class.

3. Camaraderie! You see all the same people each class for 4 weeks (or longer) rather than a couple familiar faces. All these people are committed to the program for the duration of it just like you! So you get to know each other, you sweat together, you notice each others progress and results, and ultimately, you cheer each other on and support each other. That is the true Bootcamp spirit that you don't find in many other fitness classes or fitness programs.

4. Results! 4-8 weeks of bootcamp can make a significant dent in your fitness goals! It really packs a punch in 1 hour (no pun intended) twice each week. You can increase your strength, build muscle, increase endurance, improve overall health, reduce stress, improve sleep patterns, even give you confidence! The list goes on and on...

5. FUN! FUN! FUN! You may not think 60 minutes of exercise is fun, but then you must not have tried our program yet! 60% of our customers return for additional programs throughout the year, and many of them come all season long! Simple fact is that having a gym membership doesn't mean you will go, you need something motivating, and what's more motivating than something you actually enjoy?! Our clients love the classes so much that they wake up on bootcamp days looking forward to it!!

6. Affordable prices! Many bootcamps are very expensive ranging from $159 a month up to more than $200 a month for the same number of classes as our program offers. We keep the prices low, and that is yet another reason why we have a high percentage of clients coming back time and again! Our bootcamp prices are only $129 for 4 weeks, 8 classes the first time through, then your price drops to $99 for every additional 4 week program in 2010! That's a significant savings compared to other bootcamps. Every program includes before and after physical assessments so you know you are on track! All new members receive an eco-friendly thank you gift!

We can go on and on, but why not experience for yourself why our bootcamp classes are superior to other fitness programs in Ontario. We're so sure you'll love them, we even offer free trials!

Just email us to find out more: Info@BootCampOntario.com Remember to check us out on the web if you haven't already http://www.BootCampOntario.com Programs begin in April!

Boot Camp Ontario Success Stories!

2010-03-23T17:32:00.001-07:00

I loved the drills, social atmosphere and routine. The first day of boot camp was amazing. We did squats, lunges, worked out on our arms and core. We also did running drills. I couldn't believe how quickly the hour passed. As each class passed I could feel myself getting stronger. The program was always interesting comprised of a variety of drills. Since December I have lost 16 pounds and 10 inches around my mid section. I highly recommend boot camp to anyone who wants to improve their health and well being.

Christine Stanyon, Oakville Bootcamp
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the first time in a very long time, I got dressed up last night. I was able to wear clothes that did not fit me a month ago, and although I know I still have a LONG way to go, it felt so good to look a little like the old me. Thank you SO MUCH for helping me transform my body. Last night was the first time I actually believed that it isn't too late to get myself "back" again. It felt so good...so much better than cheesecake.

Giota Curriti, Oakville Bootcamp
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I love the program and I can notice a difference in my energy level and my body! I was really worried about joining since I was sooo out of shape, but the program is wonderful and it really does let everyone work at their own pace, yet challenges us all individually. I am so happy that I made the decision to join.

Rita Atkinson, Cambridge Bootcamp
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...After the first four weeks of working out I lost almost 6 inches and have never felt better! .....I had a Gym membership last year, and I never went. Boot Camp is a ton of fun and a full body work-out every time.

Alexis Duncan, Burlington Bootcamp
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...This was the first thing that I have done for ME. Being a single mom with Fibromyalgia, for over 7 years and working 2 jobs to make ends meet, who has time. Being just over 40 now, quitting smoking 1.5 years ago, my struggle with weight has begun. I have now lost 7 lbs, my physical strength, endurance and flexibility has increased substantially. I had been going to the gym for 6 months and hit a plateau that I couldn't seem to get past, this program got me there, and I am continuing to lose weight. I had very bad knees and now I can jog 1 - 2 minute bursts. This program is definitely something I will continue...Thank you so much for everything. This has truly been a gift.

Inta Maciel, Waterloo Bootcamp
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And it's not just the women! We have had several men with amazing results as well! Gilles Bock had an awesome first month with our Boot Camp Ontario fitness Program in March and lost 10 lbs in 4 short weeks, several inches, and enjoyed a 4.3% body composition improvement. Way to go Gilles!! Also Mark, who trained one on one with one of our certified personal trainers lost a significant amount of weight, and sculpted his body! Check out his photos on our website testimonial page! Congratulations Mark on your amazing transformation!

2010-01-28T09:41:00.000-08:00

Recently, one of our bootcamp instructors attended a local gym for a fitness class, she wanted to share her experience with all of you so you could learn from what happened to her....here is her story....

On Thursday January 21st 2010 I attended a core fitness class at a local gym that one of my bootcamp recruits recommended I try out with her. I was willing to attend the class to support her and also to see what's out there in order to compare it with my boot camp class.

I met my recruit at her gyms front entrance and signed in as a guest. I was a little surprised that I wasn’t asked to sign a waiver or par-q. The class was to start at 7:00pm and my recruit informed me that a floor mat, stability ball and a 8 lb weighted ball was required for the class. OK. So I followed my recruit and disgustedly took all the tools required that were used by the previous class that were not wiped off at all. We waited for the instructor to turn on the music and the class began.

The instructor had us lay on the stability ball, hold the weighted ball in both our hands and have us extend our arms straight up to the ceiling and down (hyperextend over our head). I thought this was too strenuous of a warm up because I wasn’t warmed up at all. He had us in this position for a good 5 minutes and I was struggling because my stability ball was half full and my weighted ball was too heavy. I complained in class aloud that my ball wasn’t comfortable. The instructor brought me another stability ball that was too big for my body. Ok, so I continued to hyperextend the ball over my head and I commented aloud in class “this is a warm up?” (implying that this is not a proper warm-up). The instructor responded “oh this is just the beginning”. I felt too much strain in my neck and shoulders, but being a personal trainer, didn’t want to rule in someone else’s turf.

Another move the instructor had us do was lay on the mat and put the stability ball between our legs and alternately rotate our legs 180 degrees for a good 5 minutes while holding a weighted ball extended directly above our chest. I have to stop this a few times to rub my hip flexors because they were very sore from having a big stability ball between my petite legs. I commented again that the ball was too big for my legs and he said nothing to me.

At the end of the class, the instructor told us that we have to push ourselves to our limits and to stop whining and complaining (referring to me of course, since I was the only one commenting in class). The instructor also asked if anyone’s hip flexor were sore and I said “YES!’ The instructors’ feedback was, “your core is very week and you have to stop whining and push yourself to your limits”. Of course, I couldn’t keep my mouth shut and I replied “NO, it’s because the ball was too big between my legs, therefore hyper extending my hip flexors”.

Well, I didn’t leave the class as a happy camper and pumped from a great work out. I felt sad, embarrassed that I was a bother by complaining too much, plus I was in pain. (shoulders/neck and hip flexors).

That night, I was in excruciating pain. My head, neck, shoulders and hips got inflamed. I couldn’t sleep at all. I made an appointment the next morning with my message therapist and that alleviated my pain a little. The day after another sleepless night I went to see my Chiropractor. Again, it only helped me so much.

In conclusion, what I learned with my experience at the gym was:
1. A waiver and par-q should always be filled out before a class starts
2. Poor maintenance of the stability ball(not pumped up fully)
3. I do not like to use sweaty equipment that others have used
4. Instructor should always start the class with a dynamic warm up. If you do not feel properly warmed up, tell the instructor! If they ignore you or do not take your concerns seriously and respond appropriately, you should reconsider their ability to be a good personal trainer/instructor!
5. It’s ok if you feel muscle fatigue but never continue working out if you feel any strain/pain in a muscle/joint.
6. One having a fitness instructor/personal trainer certificate doesn’t always mean they are good. Shop around for trainers that do not make you feel intimidated. You want to look for a good guide, teacher and motivator that truly understands your needs.

For all of you currently participating in our program, if you haven't already had a "bring a friend to bootcamp day" ask your instructor when your location will be hosting it. Do you have a spouse, friend or co-worker that has been curious about what you've been up to at bootcamp? This is a great opportunity to show them what you've been working on and it's a time to bond and enjoy a workout outdoors together. This session is free for them to attend, so if you haven't already, think of someone to invite! We look forward to meeting your friends.
