True Fitness Boot Camp

I have visited a handful of outdoor bootcamps over the years as well as compared this camp to ones my friends have attended and by far, True Fitness Bootcamp is the real deal comprehensive program I’ve found and seen results from– which has kept me coming back!
I started this camp last year in preparation for my wedding and to drop a serious amount of weight and to improve my overall health as I embarked on a new step in my life. I was optimistic I would achieve my goals here based on some unique approaches I didn’t receive elsewhere:
— pre/​post camp evaluations: body measurements, body fat, and weight.
— consultation: about ANYTHING! Terrence and Nicole do their research and can answer any health and fitness question you have and make it specific to whatever your needs are. I have found this to be true both in my pre-​wedding weight loss and fitness goals as well as currently returning post baby and still being a nursing mom.
–genuine interest/​investment: the staff at this camp genuinely care about their campers and want to see you meet your goals– this investment to meet my individual needs was not found anywhere else.
— diversity: both the campers and the workouts– campers in each camp I attended were varying fitness levels so it keeps you motivated and gives you comfort at the same time if you’re a beginner in your fitness journey. The routines are ever changing weekly and each month– and are definitely tough and rigorous!
— nutrition challenge: customized menus and support to further assist your health goals. I just enrolled in this and will update my review with results at the end of the challenge.
I could go on and on about this camp and why I’ve stayed and returned, but hopefully if you’re looking for a challenging, yet supportive environment that will help you meet realistic sustainable health goals you’ll just come check it out yourself!

I loved True Fitness Boot Camp. I found it to be efficient and challenging. The instructor is nice and knowledgeable and I enjoy the outdoors and darkness. I also like the the fact that there was not a lot of talk just work. I don’t need conversation at 5am, but I do need a good workout and that’s what I got.

I really wanted to like this class, but I just didn’t. I got the Groupon for two sessions per week for a month and signed up for the 6am class.
Each class begins with a run followed by Terrence taking attendance. He then will do about 30 – 40 minutes of group exercising, and then wrap the class up with another run. Everyone is to bring with them a yoga mat, water, weights, and a towel.
What I liked:
* The workouts were things I could do on my own outside of a gym
* Terrence took the time to demonstrate each move
* It was nice getting outside of the gym and working out at the park
* Workouts were a challenge
What I didn’t like:
* The same class was offered for an entire week. I don’t know about you, but if we spend a Monday session doing planks, one legged burpies, and squats, I definitely don’t want to do the exact same workout on Wednesday. I wish they varied between routines session to session and not week to week.
* Terrence very rarely showed modifications unless he saw you completely struggling. I would have liked a modification to be demonstrated for beginners, especially for 1 legged burpies.
* Terrence was very nice, but not at all motivating
* There was zero focus on your form, unless you hurt yourself. Again, this could probably be solved by providing modifications.
* You spend 20 minutes of the hour you paid for running. Which you can do on your own.
After a couple of sessions, I decided to cut my losses and went back to my morning Body Pump classes. This is perfect for some people, but just wasn’t for me.

True fitness boot camp rocks! i have a great trainer! he offers one on one training as well as the class and nutrition advise. he answers all questions and is very supportive. i ran a 5k and true fitness was right there to encourage me. because of this support it helps me continue my fitness goals. his drills are challenging and fun at the same time. each week we have a different work out. i have lost weight and inches and got some good muscles from this class. i highly recommended you try this boot camp you wont be dissapointed!!!

I expected bootcamp to be more motivating. The exercise was hard enough but the trainer, although nice, was not as motivating as I’d expect a bootcamp instructor to be. I don’t know I needed someone to yell at me or something. Lol the class was way too quiet for a bootcamp. Also it was not exactly an hour it was more like 45 minutes of which we spent 15 min running (which I don’t like). All in all it was meh! I was looking for motivation and I honestly did not get it and that’s what was most disappointing about this bootcamp.

True Fitness is awesome. I have tried other boot camps and gyms, and videos – but at True Fitness you really have an opportunity to participate in a comprehensive training program – between going to bootcamp three times a week and participating in the nutrition challenge. It is also a very comfortable environment, it is a team and everyone is very encouraging with our health and fitness goals. I have been doing boot camp three times and week and doing the nutrition challenge for 8 weeks, I lost 26 lbs., am down 14.5 inches, and I dropped 6% body fat! True Fitness is great!

So, I wish I could give 2.5 stars, but True Fitness just didn’t do it for me. I loved the idea of different workouts each session to avoid hitting a plateau and the weigh in before classes start so you can track your progress, but something didn’t sit well with me on day 1. While at the weigh in I noticed there wasn’t much interaction between Terrance and us students. While he was taking my measurements I attempted to engage in conversation as to what my goals were and what I had been doing so far and didn’t receive much feedback in return. I almost felt like he didn’t want to be there. I pushed the feeling aside and went to the first class the following Monday. Ten minutes into class I knew it wasn’t for me. Not because the workouts were hard, but because Terrance isn’t motivating. He’s speaks in the same monotonous voice the whole class and some things you can barely hear because the music is playing. If you watch any workout video, take a group class, or go to an actual bootcamp you’ll notice the instructors are constantly motivating to their students. Sadly that was my last class and I decided not to return… at least I used a Groupon

I hate to give a bad review but this Bootcamp was horrible. First off, you are working out in the dark, I know it was winter and freezing but there were no lights except this cheap lanterns Terrance brought out. Terrance means well but isn’t a very good trainer. He doesn’t give you any instruction on proper form, but how can he when you can’t see yourself in the dark. Half the class felt like we were just running, which I can do anywhere. Plus, you have to wait for everyone to get back from running the mile, and when everyone runs/​walks at a different pace, if you run fast then you end up waiting for 8−10mins, just sitting there, doing nothing. The exercises were not very challenging and there tended to be a lot of down time between exercises so I felt I wasn’t taking advantage of all my time. I would only recommend this class to someone who hasn’t been working out at all and wants to ease back into working out. The only cool thing is they take before and after measurements.

I started with True Fitness Boot Camp in May 2012 as a referral from a co-​worker. Terence has helped me transform my body and my outlook on living fit using different workout techniques. In almost a year I have NEVER done the same exercise twice. He consistently mixes things up, keeps me on my toes and always manages to find a new muscle to «feel the burn» each week. Since beginning my adventure with True Fitness Boot Camp, I have lost 6.5 inches, my body fat perce ntage dropped to a low lean 17% and I gain about an average 2 lbs of muscle each month. The improvement I have in my health shows up at work, at home with family and whenever I look in the mirror. The workouts aren’t easy, but each completed workout is a positive affirmation of my decision to take better care of myself. I’m so grateful to have found Terence and True Fitness.”

I am 2 sessions away from a whole month of boot camp, and so far I have lost 5 pounds. My hubby says he has never seen me this motivated, and its true I usually workout at the gym but training outside is more fun and challenging.
Terrence is smart and has workouts that will literally have you in pain but the pain is good when you are loosing weight. He also has modified workouts for those who are not at his level of fitness. Be prepared for gasping in air and maybe even running in the rain, no excuses. The group setting makes the workout more bearable because it feels like a team, a crazy warrior team… a crazy boot camp warrior team.

True Fitness is the real thing. Not only will you obtain amazing results in your first month of camp, your confidence will soar to new heights, pushing you to do exercises you never thought were possible. From push-​ups, to plans, to sit-​ups, you name it, you will be able to do them.
For me, running was a big hurdle for me. I wanted to be good at it, but never wanted to push myself to be better at it. After joining True Fitness, mind you– I only started in May 2012, I’ve run my first 10k race, and am now averaging a 10 minute mile. That’s a big deal for me!
With True Fitness, I’ve been able to achieve fitness goals I’ve never imagined. I feel healthy, strong, and beautiful. I am addicted to the class and to the endorphins!
You will not be disappointed with the True Fitness Experience. If you thrive in a positive, team environment, and have the motivation to get healthy, this is the place for you.

Dropped in for two trial classes and loved the:
–Extremely knowledgeable instructor
–Superior responsiveness to all questions
–Efficient workout to get my day started
**One note: Intensity varies which makes this bootcamp inviting for many, but try out the different times to find your best fit.
If you’re on the fence, I definitely recommend trying a class or two. I plan on going back.

True Fitness Boot Camp is a great way to get in shape, lose weight and increase your endurance. Terence is an amazing trainer that is very knowledgeable about health and fitness and makes each session a fun yet challenging workout. I started my fitness journey with Terrence when he was a trainer at California Family Fitness. When I first came to bootcamp, I was at the heaviest I had ever been, I hadn’t set foot in a gym in YEARS, and was completely unmotivated. I was intimidated and scared I wasn’t going to be able to do any of the workouts or be able to keep up with the rest of the class. My sister was getting married in a couple of months and I was a bridesmaid so I needed results QUICKLY. In the first 8 weeks, I lost 22 lbs and lost inches all over but especially in my waist and my hips. So far I have lost 27lbs and with Terence’s guidance and training I have no doubt I’ll achieve my fitness goal. Terence is encouraging and he pushes us out of our comfort zones so that we can achieve maximum results. He always creates an inviting and comfortable space for everyone and the workouts are constantly changing and challenging your body. I love the fact that we do combinations of exercises to work out various muscle groups in one exercise. Our groups are small and Terence modifies exercises to accommodate personal fitness levels. He’s very approachable and really wants to help each individual achieve their fitness goals. I have seen such amazing results and am very grateful for all the knowledge and information Terence has given us because it has totally made me change the way I see exercise and nutrition and what it means to take care of my body and my health. I highly recommend True Fitness Bootcamp to anyone who is serious about becoming a more healthier individual. Thanks Terence!

A few months ago, I got a great deal from True Fitness so there was no way I could pass it up. It was about time I did something about weight loss. I’ve been wanting to do something with a trainer for awhile, but have always put it on the back burner. I have had a gym membership for years and never use it becasue I find it extremely hard for me to motivate myself. True Fitness is great because it’s with a group and an experienced trainer, and it’s such great motivation. I went from dreading working out to now enjoying to work out and I look forward to the boot camp sessions. In the first month, I lost over 12 lbs. and this boot camp is a great tool for the long run if you want to succeed at whatever you want, whether it’s fat loss or just getting fit, either way you will be pleased. Terence will keep you moving and keep you on your toes, and I recommend this boot camp to anyone.

After have my baby I decided I wanted to finally start getting into shape. I have always said that in the past and had a gym membership and barely used it. I needed someone to show me exactly what I needed to do to help me lose weight on the parts of my body that I needed. I found True Fitness Boot Camp and was soooo impressed! Terence will guide you and push you to better yourself. The price is very reasonable and will being signing up again for the Jan 9^th class. I am super excited!

I decided that I wanted to make a big change for my 40^th birthday and set off on personal weight loss journey. After losing about 40 pounds by walking and watching what I ate I decided to try True Fitness Boot Camp because I had hit a plateau and knew I needed to add some strength training into my routine. Since then I have spent 12 weeks with Terence and have lost another 30 pounds.
Terence is an awesome trainer with a wealth of knowledge that he shares with his students. I really enjoy the small group format, I have made friends and we keep each other motivated! I was expecting weights and boring repetitions but what I have learned from Terence has been invaluable. I LOVE strength training and cardio workouts now and what he has taught me I am able to do at the gym, at home, or even when I am traveling. Seeing my body transform through his guidance has been so rewarding.
When I started with Terence he had us jogging for warm ups which was difficult for me and after 12 weeks of training I was confident enough to run a 5K. I receive so many compliments now and I am even starting a small training group at work. Thanks to Terence I am more confident and I look and feel better. He communicates with us and keeps us accountable to our weight loss goals. I am signed up for another 6 weeks and hope to hit my final weight loss goal of 80 pounds by my 40^th birthday. I highly recommend Terence as a partner and teacher for those trying to lose weight and become more fit!
