The Camp Transformation Center

Just finished Challenge #2 and am ready to start Challenge #3. My opinion has not changed from the last Challenge. In fact I may be even more grateful than last time. It feels great and it’s all because of the camp. Below is my initial review which gives and in depth review of The Camp.
The Camp Transformation Center is a great gym. The Camp gives you the tools, knowledge and the support needed to help get you to a desired weight, strength, and/​or shape. I, like most people have tried every fad diet technique out there, but The Camp’s way worked for US (my wife and I). The Camp has a 6 Week Challenge to get you started, which includes Meal Plans, Grocery store tour (shows what you can or can’t purchase), and a workout schedule. The workouts are what are best about the program. The workouts are 45 minutes. 45 minutes of intense and hard, but doable station workouts (doable for everyone). During these workouts you are not alone, you had other gym members doing the same drills and you would cheer each other on, which made for a great atmosphere. The other person that was there during the station drills was the trainer who would show, teach, modify and encourage everyone. The trainers are great and if needed, gave you that attention or one-​on-​one needed to help you succeed.
Of course with anything you do, there is a cost. For the 6 Week Challenge it is a reasonable amount that you can get reimbursed or continue on to multiple challenges if desired or needed (subject to contract terms). The monthly membership seems a bit steep but if you consider the personal training, gym use, classes, motivation, atmosphere and results, it is worth it.
One of the items I wasn’t to happy about with The Camp & Challenge was the Facebook posting you have to do with every time you workout and reviewing The Camp on Unilocal & Facebook (at the end of the challenge). But of course this was another technique to help support The Camp and yourself. So this works, because The Camp gets the free advertisement and it keeps you on track and keeps you honest.
Like I had mentioned before this works for ME and I would recommend it to family, friends, and everyone who is looking to get in shape.

I was skeptical at first thinking this would be like any other camp I have heard of from friends and on t.v. From the orientation, the realization that you/​I was there for my well being because I failed at self motivation and every other method that I found myself watching on t. v instead taking action. The staff from the very beginning not only were there EVERY step of the way but I was part of a family/​community of people that was there with me to help motivate each other. Nothing but love from EVERY member of our AFF!
Staying FTDI was a challenge within a challenge especially the first 3 weeks. The first week was all about the preparation and setting yourself up for success for the week preparing your meal plans. The next hard part is the temptation from others and missing all the foods that put you in the place of misery. The change I would make is creating more variety of meals to keep things more ambiguous.
The most difficult part of the Challenge was definitely the food at the beginning. The first week was the hardest trying to resist cheating and overcoming temptation from others. Seeing and feeling the results during and after the second week made it all worth it! FTDI… FTDI…FTDI! The results will come only will come as fast as you FTDI! The next difficult part was when I was in rhythm during FTDI, I tried to increase the amount of food to try and build muscle faster… uuhhh no! This is a fat loss plan… not a muscle building plan! FTDI people! TRUST the process!
I would like to personally thank the Corona staff for the tremendous support and encouragement. The team truly cared about everyones progress and well being. Big shout out to Omar for the personal touch he puts on every single individual to get the very best out of them. Omar definitely knows his stuff! Callie… what can I say… this lady takes it to another level of motivation and success. Callie can get 1 to 2 additional levels out of you to reach your goals as long as you give it your all. There is more people to thank but I want to give a huge thanks to Alyssa! Alyssa has taken the pride to literally remember every members name… Thats next level motivation and support! Your amazing Alyssa!
Thank you Camp Corona & AFF!

I’ve tried a lot of different gyms and diets but nothing gave me the results like The Camp Transformation Center Corona. With the help of The Camp Transformation Center Corona I was finally able to lose the weight I gained while I was pregnant with my daughter.
The staff is very friendly and supportive most especially Angela.
Alyssa at the front desk made me feel so welcome. I appreciated that she took the time to know everyone’s name by their second workout.
All the trainers are amazing. I like that there are a variety of trainers and each has their own style of teaching and different types of music to motivate you during class.
Rosemary, the director at The Camp Transformation Center Corona has great energy. Every time I see her while I’m working out, she turns off the lights, puts on the strobe lights, turns on the A/​C, and increases the volume of the music making you feel like you are in a club rather than a gym. Her enthusiasm is contagious.
The Camp Transformation Center Corona is smaller than the other locations however it has air conditioning unlike the bigger warehouse locations.
The program FTDI (Follow the Damn Instructions) is simple; exercise and eat healthy. The accountability of the weekly weigh-​ins and check-​ins is part of what makes the program successful. I learned that I actually enjoy waking up at 4:30 am to make it to the 5:00am class. It’s a great way to start the day. The biggest obstacle for me was not deviating from the meal plan. I love bread and desserts. During the challenge I watched as my friends and family ate my favorite dishes. After my final weigh in, I ate the foods that I was craving while on the challenge. Come to find out, I really wasn’t missing much. The processed foods hurt my stomach. The next day, I was pleasantly surprised that my tastebuds were looking forward to FTDI meal plan/​clean healthy eating.
My only regret is not joining The Camp Transformation Center Corona challenge earlier. I just wish they had a kids club/​child care so that I can work out every day.

Where to start??? Well I started my journey 6 weeks ago and I can honestly say it is the best decision I made in my life. I gained so much but most of all I gained a family, my Awesome Fit Family! The Camp Transformation Corona is the best all the trainers are amazing and so is the staff they encourage you do always give it your all and are always there to help you no matter what your going through. I have gained so much confidence in knowing that there is nothing that I can’t do. The trainers are amazing and they help you every bit of the way always there pushing you but in the right way as well teaching you how to properly lift weights do squats and Burpees. They want to see you succeed your success is there success because the proof is in the pudding I lost a total of 21.8 pounds in 6 weeks with a lot of hard work, dedication and determination but most of all because The Camp transformation Center Corona gave me the right tools to be successful and give me hope to know that if I Stay fit and don’t Quit I can do anything. So I say challenge yourself and commit to gaining so much than just losing wiegt but gaining a family for life and meeting awesome people who will be there on the same journey as yourself. #TheCampMovement#StayFitDontQuit#JoinTheMovement!

I’ve tried lots of different weight loss programs through the years but nothing has worked like the 6 week challenge TCTC offers. I just completed my 3^rd six week challenge successfully and have lost a total of 68 pounds. My blood pressure has also dropped from ¹⁶⁰⁄₉₀ (last year) to ¹¹³⁄₆₇ (this year)! Who wouldn’t love those results???
The Camps 6 wk challenge is pretty simple. Don’t get me wrong, you need to put in the work at the gym and in the kitchen but it’s a pretty straight forward, no nonsense approach to losing weight through diet & exercise. The Camp staff provides the gym, trainers & food plan. It’s up to you to show up and do the work for those 6 weeks! If you follow the instructions The Camp’s staff provides you will not fail.

Two challenges later and I am 46 pounds lighter. It was a love hate relationship because I hated not cheating on my food but loved the results I got after I completed the challenge. I can honestly tell you that it works as long as you Follow «The Damn Instructions» or FTDI. It’s not going to be easy because all around you there are temptations to eat all kinds of junk food but if you trust the process and you are guaranteed to see amazing results. I highly recommend it to anyone how is tired of being unhealthy and is ready to make a change in their life.

I finished my 3^rd and final challenge at the camp and I could not be more pleased with my results. Down over 70 pounds. This was a true life changing experience. I will be forever grateful to what I have learned here. I would highly recommend this program to anybody looking for a way to learn about getting healthy and staying that way. I love the trainers, the lessons learned and the program itself. I love it so much that even though I have reached my goal weight I am continuing on to the hard body challenge. The camp has something for everyone! I am so happy I hafound it!

Best place where they truly care about your Heath I recommend the 6 week challenge to everyone!!!

I remember my first experience with the Camp Transformation center a few years back it was at the Chino location and it was amazing. Its not one of those boot camps where you are yelled at military style I mean unless you like that haha. It has always been positive energy. I also remember I wanted to do the 20 lbs in 42 challenge and the owner Sam told me absolutely not, he didn’t think I needed to lose 20lbs and they are not about setting you up for failure and taking your money. He instead kept me updated and involved in other fun classes like the booty boot camp. Well back then the camp was a little out of the way and I kind of let the lbs creep up on me. When I found out there was a camp that opened up literally 2 miles from my place I went and signed up for the challenge! Let me tell you I did it I lost 22.8lbs in 6 weeks and feel amazing. Every time I come in they know me by name and greet me with a huge smile like you’re visiting with your best friends. The trainers are all so good, helpful and really push you to be your best. I mean they make the classes so fun but definitely you’re torching calories and getting stronger. Also they all become your friends, I mean what other trainers check up on you, write encouraging messages on your fb and overall truely care. All the other members become your AFF (awesome fit family) and provide incredible support. I finished my challenge but I can’t walk away I’m already planning on doing another challenge!

Just finished my first challenge and came in down 21.8lb! I have tried many different programs and this one is by far superior! When I started I thought it was similar to others but then as time went by I realized there was a different feeling here. The family atmosphere and support from everyone is amazing! It may sound silly but I love the name tags when you check in and the intro to each other after the warm up. It just adds to the feeling support from everyone. I can’t wait for challenge 2!

Absolutely loved my 2 challenges I’ve done at this location. I learned discipline, self control, focus, and learned I’m a lot stronger than I thought I was. While this is BY NO MEANS an easy challenge, the group and family you come to know is something you will never forget. Enjoyed my experience here so much I am now a member.

I was inspired to join The Camp’s 6-​week challenge because I was impressed the results of some of my friends who successfully completed the challenge. Although I am pleased with my weight loss and fitness goals after doing the challenge, I was not successful according the terms of their contract. I decided to post this review to explain how that happened and why I attribute my failing the challenge to their unethical and unprofessional business practices. This post is not intended to spew any hate or negativity, but only to give an honest report from my personal experience. Hopefully, it will benefit anyone considering joining so that a decision can be made with eyes wide opened.
I just completed my 6-​week challenge a week ago and lost a total of 17.4 lbs. I worked out 36 times in 42 days, faithfully followed the meal plan (including the carb-​cycling and «Talapigus» plan structured to speed up weight loss toward the end of the challenge) and I still failed to lose 20 lbs. Sure, most of the other challengers in my challenge cycle met their goal, however, most that did had much more weight to lose than I did. I initially weighed in at 187 and needed to weigh 167 or less to met the challenge. At the end of 6 weeks, I weighed in at 170. All and all I am happy that I lost weight, that I am more fit to continue towards my fitness goals, and that I made a lot of great connections with people that I plan to keep in contact with. But, for me, I cannot continue to support a business that I have experienced to be unethical and unprofessional.
What makes the program unethical? The false advertisement that the program is «free» and only requires you lose 20 lbs to be successful. The other piece that I believe makes it unethical is the false claim that they have a 97% success rate. I followed the program to the tee and did not succeed. I was not alone and know this is an inaccurate statistic. The other unethical issue is that the trainers consistently encourage gym members to use heavy weights during circuit training. This builds muscle that will reflect heavy on the scale. Skilled trainers know that encouraging high reps with low weight, coupled with cardio, would be better suited for faster weight loss. Only two trainers at my gym that followed this training style. I would guess this approach to training is encouraged by the owners who are financially vested in people not successfully completing the challenge.
What makes The Camp unprofessional? I was unfortunate enough to have experienced being kicked out of The Camp’s support group on Facebook which connects you with other challengers and offers a wide range of support. I was not alone in being kicked out. Apparently Sam, part owner of The Camp, has a reputation (as confirmed by several staff members) of being rude, quick and sharp with his tongue towards customers. Apparently, he did not like a comment I made on a thread and kicked me out of the group 2 weeks before the end of my challenge. My comment was in response to him making a comment in all caps, starting with the statement «LOOK PEOPLE», where he goes on to belittle and humiliate someone who in his view asked a stupid question about what was allowed to eat. In my response, I mimicked another member (who was also kicked out of the group) stating that this forum should be a place to feel safe to ask dumb questions and to seek support. He shot back that if I didn’t like it, I could get out. I didn’t even have a chance because he kicked me and the other member out of the group. When I brought this issue to the attention to the director, I was told that this is how he is and that it was unlikely they would be able to get me back in the group because Sam was the sole administrator. I was told that Sam is fully aware of his tendency to be rude towards customers to the point that he advises managers and directors not speak to customers the way he does because of the negative impact it has on business. Needless to say, this left a very sour taste in my mouth and upset me that I had even given his company my money.

I just finished the 6 week challenge with my wife, Christy. Beyond words, we are so thankful to our friends who previously did the challenge and most importantly to the trainers and staff at The Camp. The owner and founder has found a unique and successful way to help people, like ourselves, to truly transform their bodies, and more importantly their minds and habits. Great habits were established and bad habits were discarded. I lost 29.2 pounds in 6 weeks. I often reflect on the amount of energy I wasted for years «thinking about» wanting to lose weight and getting back into better physical shape. With The Camp it is actually pretty easy to put those thoughts into action. Robert Thompson

«Within these walls your life will change»
I walked into the front door at the camp in Corona honestly didn’t know what to expect but I was NOT disappointed. My wife and partner turned me on to this challenge and we decided to do this exactly 6 weeks ago. As I continued to go to the process of hearing the front desk pitch the challenge I honestly didn’t believe I would benefit much from it. I went to my first session when I walked into the gym extra thick foam padding throughout the entire floor the walls were painted with graffiti style comic book strip. Tag on the wall was a quote «within these walls your life will change» I weighed in and went through the process and at first realized I couldn’t do it in six weeks but sticking with it and being motivated through other people in the process and amazing staff at the camp help me achieve what I thought was impossible. Through it all my life is changed for the better new outlook on my health my relationship and the possibilities of a better lifestyle. I tell myself it’s only six weeks it’s only six weeks but now I tell myself this is a lifestyle change and I don’t think I’ll ever stop…
Thank you camp corona and wifey Jnet!!!

So I started at the camp transformation center on November 2^nd, and I just finished my finish challenge. Let me tell you that this place has changed my way of thinking when it comes to working out and eating right! I completed my first challenge losing a total of 22.5 pounds in 6 weeks, and I’m not stopping. January I will start a 2^nd challenge and I will also be continuing to go during this break. I love love everything that I have learned here at the camp, and everyone who works there and attends have always been great motivation and support along the way. Thanks camp!
So this is my review for after my 2^nd challenge. No I didn’t lose another 20 lbs, but I still love the camp and everything they have to offer. I love the classes and the trainers and I now joined as a monthly member so I can continue to go workout there!

What a great experience this has been. The camp has given me the tools and mind to be a better me. I can’t even imagine where I would be if a friend had not invited me here 6 months ago. I feel great, I look good and the biggest part of all is my new sense of belonging. Life is hard and things always things get in the way of our goals, my father passed last year and this camp kept my mind off everything surrounding this event. It helped me take a breather off life’s toughest choices, and making better ones. I started at 237lbs and no I’m 202.7, my knees don’t hurt, I don’t get heartburn my life is better. Thanks to all the camp trainers and staff for helping me take reign of my life.

Well… I just got done completing my 2^nd challenge. I lost 22lbs this time around. A total of 46lbs lost in 12 weeks! I’m telling you folks, if you need help losing weight, try The Camp Transformation Center near you. The journey was the same as the 1^st challenge. You just had to be focused and determined. Workouts are great with great instructors. They focus on form and injury prevention.
The Camp works people. If you follow their instructions and give your best physically and mentally, you will lose more than 20lbs in 6 weeks. 6 weeks may sound long but the high morale and the wonderful people you will meet with the same goal makes it so easy.

I just completed my 2^nd Challenge and I lost another 21.2lbs in 6 weeks!!! Since my husband had to do a 2^nd challenge, I decided to take on another challenge as well to help support him even though I didn’t need to lose another 20lbs. This 2^nd challenge was so much tougher than the 1^st, but I dug deeper and fought harder because I knew it was going to take more work to shed the weight.
The Camp gives you all of the resources to meet your healthy goal. I believe I am a walking billboard for the camp because even though I didn’t need to lose another 20lbs, I was still able to do it by FTDI (Following The Damn Instructions). I went from a size 10 at the beginning of my first challenge to a size 4 after completing my 2^nd challenge. Never in my life have I ever been able to fit into a SIZE 4!!! My relatives and friends still can’t believe how much weight I was able to shed in only 12 weeks!!!
I’ve also inspired some friends to sign up for the next challenge. If you’re ready to get healthy, if you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired, The Camp WILL change your LIFE!!!

This started as another «diet workout thingy» I was going to try. I asked the wifey if she wanted to do this Camp thing with me. She said sure.
47.4 lbs 6 weeks later with the wife and I, we see this as a start of a new lifestyle for us.
So here are my 3 main takeaways:
1. I can do things well in 6 week increments — I don’t know what my 1 year or 5 year plan is, but in 6 weeks I can see/​feel/​smell what that looks like. So this time frame is perfect for how my brain works.
2. There are other fattys there besides just me, and it’s all good. I’m with a set of other individuals with the EXACT same goal as me. Nobody is judging, everybody is supporting each other and consequently, we WIN together.
3. I don’t have to plan out a workout. I’m a professional and I need to workout, but the set up and planning of what I need to do, frankly I’m not good at. I can take a swing at it, but my time is valuable, and I’d rather have a professional trainer tell me exactly what to do and how to do it.
There are some strict rules to adhere to, as there should be. They have a lot of people to track and they know what works… so just do what they say and Follow The Darn Instructions (FTDI).
The new you is just 6 weeks away, and I highly recommend you use the Camp to get there.

Talk about life changing! I took the six week challenge and not only did I loose the 20lbs I wanted to loose but I also had a huge none scale victory… Before I began this challenge I was a completely insulin dependent diabetic. I was not extremely over weight but big enough to cause some major health concerns. During the challenge… I was slowly able to lower my dosage (with the guidance of my dr of course) and now I am completely off insulin, 20 lbs lighter, my bmi is in the healthy range and I feel amazing!!! The trainers are amazing… So encouraging… The staff is phenomenal… The program as a whole is just the best. Words can’t express my gratitude and icing on the cake… are the people I have met along the way. Thank you The Camp Transformation Center of Corona… you have changed my life for the better!!!
