You can take many different roads on your fitness journey.
While they all reach the same destination — better health — some roads offer different benefits than others.
Over the past couple of decades, fitness boot camps have been on the rise, leaving many wondering, What is a workout boot camp?
At Fit Body Boot Camp, our signature Afterburn workout series takes the best elements of strength training, High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), and cardio sessions to give you the best workouts ever.
Want to learn what makes workouts at Fit Body Boot Camp special? Then read on to have your questions answered!
What Is a Workout Boot Camp, and Is It Effective?
Workout boot camps are special instructor-led workout programs designed to push your limits and help you get the most out of your exercise routines.
Many boot camp programs blend elements from strength training, cardio, and agility-based exercises to boost your strength and cardio. Most of these programs also use minimal equipment to make boot camp workouts accessible — even at home.
Because boot camp workouts focus on the entire body, every exercise session takes a holistic approach to fitness.
Many people feel boot camps are more effective than traditional strength training or cardio sessions in the gym.
3 Signs You May Prefer Afterburn Workouts to the Gym
Have you ever purchased a gym membership and never used it? Yeah, we have too.
That membership may not have gone unused because you weren’t motivated to work out — you might have been highly motivated at the time of purchase.
But the fact is that the gym just isn’t for everybody.
Here are some reasons your gym memberships failed in the past and why a boot camp is a better option for you:
You Have Trouble Building an Exercise Routine
Most gym routines are self-guided, meaning you must plan your routine by determining which muscle groups you need to exercise on what day and how often you need to show up.
Building an exercise routine is often the most daunting part of the experience (and you spend a lot more time on the treadmill than you originally intended).
Boot camp programs eliminate the anxiety of creating a routine because an instructor guides you and sets your fitness goals.
Whether you use virtual at-home boot camp videos or attend an exercise boot camp in person, you never need to worry about deciphering the ins and outs of your routine.
You Like Working Out With Other People
Going to a gym with a workout buddy is always great. Sometimes, having the accountability of just one other person is all you need to stay consistent in the gym.
Opting for in-person boot camp sessions comes with that accountability baked into the program.
When you choose a program like Fit Body Boot Camp, it’s a guarantee that you’ll exercise with others who will hold you accountable to make it to more workout sessions and achieve your fitness goals.
You’re Motivated by Other People’s Success
Seeing other people achieve their goals is great, isn’t it?
While you can check in with friends at the gym to see if they hit their exercise goals, there’s something about seeing someone succeed in a group workout that’s just better.
You actively work with everyone else during a boot camp session and watch them hit their daily target.
If you’re motivated to succeed when someone else triumphs, boot camp classes are an excellent choice!
Why Is Fit Body Boot Camp Unique Compared to Other Options?
At Fit Body Boot Camp, we offer group workouts similar to other programs, but we feel like our programs stand out above the crowd in three ways:
Our 30-Minute Afterburn Workouts Burn 2x the Calories
You read that right: Afterburn sessions leverage parts of HIIT, cardio, and strength training to help you double the calories of other workouts.
However, we amplify your results by incorporating our secret weapon — active rest sessions.
Rather than just taking a break between activities, we mix in activities that keep you moving while allowing your body to cool down before another round of intense activity.
We Include Nutrition Counseling in Our Boot Camp Membership
A focused wellness journey needs more than just exercise. You also require proper nutrition to build muscle and shed weight.
At Fit Body, we work with you to meet your nutritional goals.
Our nationally certified fitness coaches have a deep understanding of sports nutrition and will help you set calorie and nutrient targets that keep you on track.
Our Fitness Community Has an Unmatched Positive Vibe
“The vibe is great at Fit Body Boot Camp” is something you’ll tend to hear when you choose us for your boot camp experience.
Yes, we work hard during exercise sessions, and you’ll often push yourself to your physical limits.
But our supportive members will always give you encouragement that builds you up during every session, and our fitness coaches are here to drive you forward in a positive way — no negative reinforcement here.
