Operation Boot Camp Los Angeles

Loved Bootcamp over the summer! Thanks to Scott and team for the fun workouts! Hoping to join next camp!

Last summer I attended the free boot camp they offer once a week. I LOVED it. I ended up purchasing a month package after the free sessions ended. I high recommend this camp for anyone!

I first joined OBC at Grand Park LA in November of 2012 after realizing that years of yo-​yo dieting, lack of committment to any mode of exercise, late night snacking, and several failed attempts to keep to a workout regimen had gotten the best of me. It was time to make a complete 360 in my inactive lifestyle OBC started its DTLA camp just as I was looking into yet another gym membership.
I had researched several other competing bootcamps in the area but for one reason or another whether it was cost, class schedule none seemed to meet my needs. Then I met Scott Wells the lead instructor/​owner of the Los Angeles franchise (s) he explained their philosophy and approach to fitness and nutrition I was invited to check out a session during the next «Bring-​A-​Friend» day. I cannot explain how humbling it was to realize that a few jumping jacks during the warm up and I was pretty much already spent, how in the hell was I going to finish the next 50 minutes… but somehow I did! All I can say is that the motivation and support from the OBC instructors and the fellow Operation Boot Camp campers got me through it and it continued into the next week, month, year that I stuck with the program. There is no «militant» disposition, barking counts, or calling out of those of us that come in last sometimes for those that enjoy that type of environment OBC would probably not be for you, and thats fine we all thrive in different environments, but if you are a person who is just getting back into excerise after a long absence or very fit athletic individual or just a middle of the road excersicer looking for a new challenge then I would say that you should definately give OBC at GrandPark LA a try! I took a break earlier this year for about 4 months and not only did I gain some weight back but all that endurance and stamina I had built for myself the previous year were almost gone I was disappointed in myself and realized I needed to get back on the wagon and I’ve been back now since May and I feel great, my endurance has come back and I added more days to my work out regimen outside of my training days with OBC… can’t wait to see what my results will be like a year from now.
If you read the other reviews they all agree that it is a very motivational and supportive environment it is a great group of amazing individuals that are there to help and guide you especially on those days when the last thing you want to do is work out. So if you are thinking about joining a boot camp I would STRONGLY recommend you give Operation Boot Camp (OBC) a try you will be glad you did!

Love the workout style! Love all the positive energy.

Operation Boot Camp is awesome! If you think about going or signing up GO!!! It is totally worth it! I do not enjoy working out at all, or can not find the motivation to workout alone.
Operation Boot Camp is FREE every Tuesday night at GRAND PARK up until I believe September 10. Give it a shot, try it out to see if you like it, and if you do, which you will… sign up for the monthly boot camp!
I just got done with the monthly boot camp and I must say, I’ve had the best workouts! The trainers Scott and Allerga were both great instructors! They encourage you every step of the way and its never the same work out! They keep it fun and make sure you are getting the most out of your workouts and improving week after week. Its challenging however, doable for all and the time goes by quickly!
I like this more then the gym because
1. I do not know what I am doing at the gym
2. Its outdoors
3. You have trainers to motivate you
4. The trainers will correct you on your form and make sure you doing the exercises correctly
4. You’ll meet new people who wants to get in shape just like you !
It’s such a positive workout and I was able to hit my goals! :)

OBC transformed me. It’s that simple. It’s more than a bootcamp. And it’s not a bunch of yelling and negative motivation. And definitely for all skill levels. The nutrition and lifestyle advice, positive reinforcement and ever-​changing, interesting exercises make this one a great camp for everyone. Loved it.

I was looking for something that I could do outside and offered a workout that I wouldn’t get bored of and I found it with Operation Boot Camp. The trainers are great motivators and know how to challenge every person at all levels in order to hit their personal goals. I really didn’t know what to expect but I’ve been going to the evening workouts in Culver City now for over 8 months and I would never go back to a gym.

This boot camp is amazing. I don’t exercise — I had a gym membership for six months and maybe used it ten times, so when my friend suggested I join her for her second month of boot camp I guffawed. Wake up at 5 am to be at a workout by 5:45 am?! Well, I have to say, it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Surprisingly, the early hour isn’t that bad (OBC offers an evening workout if mornings are definitely not your thing) and with such a supportive group of instructors it’s really not that bad.
Scott, the team leader and instructor, is one of the warmest most supportive people you could ever meet, so having him lead boot camp actually makes it a wonderful experience. I was afraid he would get in our faces and yell, but he’s actually a great, positive motivator. I was always the last one all session, but he would workout next to me and motivate me to increase my productivity and speed and push past the mental barriers I was facing.
It may change with time, but there were four of us in class, with three instructors in training and Scott, so we basically got a person trainer each day. The other great perk is that you’re basically working out five days a week, so if you’re like me and not motivated to work out you’re getting personal instructing pretty much every day (there are usually optional free weekend classes where you can bring a friend and weekend homework assignments).
In an ideal world you would be able to stick with boot camp for a few months. My parents gifted a month of boot camp to me, so I was only able to do it for a month, but 30 days is a great period of time to develop better fitness and eating habits, so even if you only intend to do boot camp for a month this is still a great decision. I lost some weight as well as a couple of inches around my waist, hips, and legs; the real perk is being able to run up stairs without running out of breath and working towards my goal of running a 5k in four months.
This is a great deal no matter what your fitness goals because you’ll have the support and encouragement of the Operation Boot Camp staff with you every step of the way.
