"Since beginning boot camp both my blood pressure and my total cholesterol have dropped.

The other benefit is the flexibility I have.  Recently I was sitting reading on a couch in a store.  A woman came by with a shopping cart and there wasn't room for her to pass.  I didn't feel like getting up, so I just swung my legs up over the high arm of the couch so the woman could pass.  She was shaking her head and remarking that I was very flexible.

All these improvements are thanks to Boot Camp!  I am very grateful you are around and I am able to be in the class."

"Thank you for making a 'runner' out of me, without even trying! "

"Yesterday, I ran my very first 5K race (well, it was actually longer (3.88 miles), which threw me off)... BUT - my point is - with zero training (I meant to, but never did), and not having run any sort of distance in about two years, I was able to run the first 31 minutes without stopping.

It's definitely a testimony to what we do in bootcamp that allowed me to have that kind of endurance and speed (about a 10 minute mile pace).  So, thank you for making a 'runner' out of me, without even trying!"

"Even though I didn't quite like you this morning...lol this morning's workout was a good one!!!! I don't think I've sweat like that in a long time. Best part for sure was leaving early. Once again thanks for the ass kicking...I'm telling you it's a love/hate with this whole working out : ) "

"I recently bought jeans that fit and the best part was being able to purchase them in a size I haven't worn in easily 20 years! "

Thanks also for the super fun workout this morning - all the different activities made the time FLY - plus, the rope work was a really fun way to end!  I felt strong and empowered as I pulled... that's a priceless feeling.

p.s.  I was thinking about my beginnings with you and how a huge happy dance moment was losing inches around my waist and being able to wear jeans comfortably again.  Those were my "fat" jeans.  I've gone from being able to get into my fat jeans comfortably... to being able to wear my "skinny" jeans that had been collecting dust... to present day: where my skinny jeans are way too big!  I recently bought jeans that fit and the best part was being able to purchase them in a size I haven't worn in easily 20 years!  :)  And, I only bought one pair, because my plan is that they'll be too big for me soon.  Time will tell... :)  Thanks for making my transformation happen, Coop!

"I have lost 18 lbs of body weight. Mostly unwanted fat!!! "

"Hey Coop,
 
To-date, today's work out has been my favorite.

I really enjoyed the jump rope (as I have improved), the ball push ups, the dive bombs, and the TRX, it was just to damn sunny...and the plyometric jump slams were so much fun.

I am getting so much stronger, my stamina has improved. I have lost 18 lbs of body weight. Mostly unwanted fat!!! 
 
Thanks for the help."

"All in all I feel healthy and beautiful."

"...I also wanted to say how much I look forward to each Bootcamp day.  You always have great fun routines that are always different and never boring. The changes in my body are very evident especially to my husband and that also makes me very happy.  I also can see the progress I have made in my strength, dexterity, muscle tone and surprisingly my balance.  I can feel my progress and this has been good for my self esteem.

I also wanted to say that I have a condition called "Frozen shoulders" and have had to deal with chronic pain for over 6 years. There is no cure for it but exercise.  Since I have been at Bootcamp I have been almost pain free.  I have found that exercising in your program is not only challenging it is gentle and I have not had any injury or flare up due to over use of my shoulders.

All in all I feel healthy and beautiful.  Thank-you Stephen.  H."
