Yun Fitness Bootcamps-Hilliard

I bought a Groupon, as I have for a few boot camps in Columbus, and this was easily the most difficult to activate. Once I deciphered what time classes were and filled out all of the pre-​class paperwork, I got a phone call and emails to confirm I was coming. I was warned that I might need to bring a towel or yoga mat but I decided to tough it out since I was wearing pants. Big mistake, this «gym» is a large room with green turf carpet like the Brady Bunch back yard. My knees were scraped by the time I left.
A bunch of people were there, there was no hello or welcome, no direction to get started, just get in, find a spot and start doing what everyone else was doing.
The instructor gave us a long set of drills to do for like 20 minutes straight and as we were doing it he talked about how awesome he was because he was Brutus the mascot when he went to Ohio State. It was entertaining, but he wasn’t watching anyone for form and didn’t seem to care about anything but impressing people.
I went again a couple of days later, despite tweaking my knee on the first day, and the owner was there to run the class. Not much was different, except that he did seem to notice people were there to work out and not learn more about him. He gave us a big long set of stuff to do, turned up the music and off we went. I officially hurt myself after that class and spent the next two months in physical therapy and trying to get off his email list. I want to encourage people to work out but based on my experience at this place, it is hard for me to suggest doing so at this location.

I’ve been going to bootcamp 3 days a week for 14 months and am still hooked. Jason Yun, the trainer, is very good at what he does. It’s always different, always fun, and you never know where you will be sore the next day (but you will be!). He also spices it up with newsletters that provide fitness and nutrition tips, charity bootcamp events, online workout and supplemental DVD’s. There’s a free 2-​week trial and no strings attached… just go for 2 weeks and if you like it, sign up. (also — Unilocal is asking if it’s good for kids. It is not. But Jason also runs Athletic Revolution, a children’s boot camp.)
