“Bootcamp” style workouts are everywhere these days, but the truth is that not all boot camps are built the same. When you’re comparing fitness programs, the real question to ask is: are people actually getting results? That’s where the gap usually shows.
At Fit Body Boot Camp, our sessions aren’t just another group “class.” They’re fast-paced, results-driven workouts designed to help you burn fat, sculpt muscle, and build confidence with every session.
Why choose Fit Body Boot Camp in Columbia, IL? Because everything we do is built around helping real people get real results, without disrupting the rhythm of your day. Whether you’re squeezing in a session before a morning walk along the GM&O Rail Trail, training after spending time outdoors at Columbia Bottom Conservation Area, or fitting in a quick workout before evening plans near Historic Main Street, our fast, efficient sessions make it easy to stay consistent no matter how full your schedule feels.
At Fit Body Boot Camp, every workout is designed for real people at every fitness level. Whether you're just getting started or picking things back up, our certified coaches and uplifting community make sure you feel supported, motivated, and excited to show up.

The benefits of our bootcamp in Columbia, IL, reach far beyond what you’ll experience in a traditional workout class. Our signature Afterburn method blends High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) with purposeful Active Rest, creating fast-paced 30-minute sessions that elevate your heart rate, challenge your muscles, and keep your metabolism revved long after the workout ends. While most classes run close to an hour, Afterburn is built for efficiency. You get powerful, results-driven training in half the time, without sacrificing intensity or effectiveness. Thanks to the extended calorie-burning effect, your body continues torching fat for up to 36 hours, allowing you to see steady progress without marathon workouts.
Every session is coached by certified professionals who lead 20-30 members through focused, high-intensity workouts. You’ll get personalized adjustments, clear guidance, and consistent encouragement, without the pressure or price tag of 1-on-1 training. And the energy of the group helps you stay motivated, push harder, and show up even on the days you don’t feel like it. When people consider why to choose Fit Body Boot Camp in Columbia, IL, it usually comes down to three things: knowledgeable coaches, an uplifting community, and results that are both visible and sustainable. Each class moves you closer to your goals while giving you the support system you need to thrive.
At Fit Body Boot Camp, accountability is at the heart of your success. Our coaches go far beyond guiding workouts; they become true partners in your health journey. By learning your goals, identifying your challenges, and understanding what motivates you, they create a personalized path that keeps you moving forward with confidence. Their support doesn’t stop when class ends. From thoughtful email check-ins to quick encouragement inside our Facebook community, to small but meaningful adjustments to your plan, our team makes sure you have the structure and motivation you need to stay consistent. One of the biggest benefits of our bootcamp in Columbia, IL, is this level of ongoing accountability. When you step into our studio, you’re stepping into a community that celebrates your wins, helps you overcome obstacles, and guides you toward long-term, sustainable results, both inside the gym and in everyday life.
While many fitness classes operate outdoors, we recognized early on that this leaves your workout open to way too many interruptions. An outdoor fitness class can be shut down at any moment by anything from bad weather to city restrictions on public spaces.
When we took the boot camp fitness class indoors, we took it one step further. We realized we had an opportunity to create a welcoming space and community — a home away from home.
We recognize the courage it takes to commit to a fitness journey. That’s why we’re committed to maintaining a trendy, clean, modern space where you can bond with others on that same journey.
When you walk into a Fit Body Boot Camp, you’ll recognize in an instant that it’s more than just a fitness class. It’s a place where we recognize and celebrate each other’s victories. It’s a place where we donate to the causes that matter most to us.
It’s YOUR place to meet positive, like-minded people who will hold you accountable to your dreams and motivate you every step of the way.
When you first walk into a Fit Body Boot Camp, you’ll notice right away that it’s a completely different setup than any other gym or fitness class. There’s no confusing heavy equipment. In fact, there’s not even any equipment that plugs into the wall.
All you see is simple, safe equipment that anyone can use. With the expert guidance of our fitness coaches, that’s all you need for a challenging,fat-torching workout!
See, our workouts are built around bodyweight and resistance training and specifically tailored to be “Low Risk, High Reward.” Unlike other fitness classes that borrow effective but potentially dangerous exercises from pro athletes and bodybuilders, we keep things simple and safe.
At Fit Body Boot Camp, we do one thing, and we do it better than anyone else: we deliver weight loss results. There are no gimmicks — just our science-backed Afterburn workouts led by passionate fitness coaches committed to your success!
One of the most important aspects of losing weight and unwanted fat outside of working out, is what you’re eating. We even say that the most important personal training happens in the kitchen, although not all gyms or personal trainers are ready to admit this! At Fit Body Boot Camp, we’re fully committed to your fat loss results, and that means we bring the same science-backed, lifestyle-friendly approach to your diet that we bring to our workouts.
We do NOT enforce calorie counting, restrictive dieting, crash dieting, or quick-fix “cleanses” that actually do the body more harm than good. It’s common for our members to eat more food after they sign up, not less. You might be asking yourself, “how is that possible?” Well, as it turns out, most problems relating to weight gain and poor health come from malnutrition which means you’re not getting enough REAL food. For that reason, we embrace a whole-food diet that gives you the power to express yourself and delight your family with a huge variety of tasty, fat-torching meals.
"Since my joining, my physical, mental and emotional health have improved. My recovery from having my third son was so much smoother than after my first two, which I attribute largely to Fit Body. My strength came back more quickly and for the first time, I had zero signs of postpartum depression. Wherever you are at in your fitness journey, I highly recommend giving MV Fit Body Boot Camp a try!"

“Berkley Fit Body is AWESOME. When the boot camp style gym I previously went to closed, I was devastated and never thought another gym would compare. Not only does Berkley Fit Body meet the expectations set by my previous gym, it significantly exceeds them and provides me things I never knew I needed!”

"At my heaviest point and most unhealthiest, I decided to give this gym a try after a recommendation. I am SO glad I did! We are all a family and support each other 110%. No judging. I've learned how to eat healthy, have gotten incredibly strong, lost over 55 pounds, and am happy to stay in the best shape of my adult life.”

“I was really hesitant when I signed up 2 months ago. I did not think I would enjoy the workouts and honestly had no clue if it would make a difference in my life. I was COMPLETELY wrong. Thanks to Fit Body, my body is slowly changing for the better and my confidence levels are growing. I honestly couldn't think of a better place/environment to help better your body and mind!”

“I am approaching my 2 years there at Fern Creek Fit Body. I have a BAD knee and thought I would try the place. I LOVE THIS PLACE. This place is for all people at all different levels of what each individual can do in a work out. I have lost some weight and I have built my confidence. Most of all I have a new extended family. Not only the staff but other members are always welcoming, helpful and encouraging.”

“When I first started in November of last year, I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and I was pre-diabetic. I constantly felt tired, suffered from headaches almost everyday, and absolutely hated doing anything active because my back and my joints always hurt. Now, at almost 40, my energy level is better than it was in my 20s, my blood pressure is in the normal range and I’m no longer pre-diabetic. I recommend Fit Body to anyone and everyone who’s looking to make a positive change in their lives!!”
