The Fitness Boot Camp course is a 4-week program that meets 3 times per week. Each meeting is for 1 hour and we cover every fitness component from cardio endurance, strengthening, agility, balance and flexibility.

They are called “Boot Camps” primarily because it is an outdoor fitness program. Your drill instructor controls the group and dictates your activity. You will be pushed to ‘Your Limits’ in all the activities. All of the activities will be set up on a time system. You keep working until your drill instructor blows his whistle and yells stop.

The groups learn to work as a team and help each other out through the fitness course. We want all recruits to encourage each other as they push through those final seconds of each drill. You will build a nice sense of camaraderie with your boot camp peers that will help you make it to the next session.

The camp will run if there is rain! This means recruits should be equipped with a raincoat or a poncho for rainy days. Recruits should also bring a mat or a towel for floor exercises or be tough and get a little dirty. You will also want to bring a water bottle to keep you hydrated. We are out doors, so you may encounter a visit from some bugs flying around so spray if you’re sweet and attract them little mosquitoes.
