Mr. America’s Santa Monica Boot Camp

I purchased twoLivingSocials one has been used the other has not yet been used, as it has been said «you get what you pay for». Not only was I not provided with instructions, a waiver, guidance, directions to even the location, but also I had little to no communication with Jason and Ruben. I had contacted Ruben my direct instructor regarding training for a mud run, I emailed 3x and finally got a response he would try to get a team together — nothing. Ruben spent more time working with two other girls Olga and her friend and gave them guidance and instructions while the rest of us were left to our own devices with minimal attention. Having done other bootcamps in the area including «Feel The Burn» and «Valley Boot Camp» I am aware of what attention and guidance is needed to ensure not only results but SAFE results. The Monday camp was the only one I was able to attend as I never had an address to go to for the Thursday locations (It is on a hill in Santa Monica) thanks for your amazing navigation skills.
When I was emailed a survey and completed it and made these notations Jason Kozma emailed me to say that my second LivingSocial had been rescinded because he didn’t like my comments. Well Mr. Kozma, here goes: if you don’t want people to say negative things about your BootCamp you should train your trainers to be efficient and professional so that people don’t have anything negative to say. It’s a pity that you take suggestions with such weakness and with lacking confidence in not only your own staff but apparently your boot camp.
I look forward to receiving my refund and getting to go to another location, which is what I would suggest anyone considering this bootcamp do anyway

I signed up for the 8 Week Intensive Fat Loss Bootcamp program. I have to tell you the results I experienced are by far the best I have achieved in comparison with weight loss attempts and diet plans I have tried in the past. I lost an average of 2 – 3 pounds per week over the course of the program, which is a healthy weight loss rate, and have noticeably increased my cardio capacity and energy level. Jason is very strict and even though you may not like it, he will tell you the truth on a weekly basis of what you are doing wrong with your diet and what you need to do in order to achieve results. The bootcamp classes with Ruben were both challenging and yes, even fun: the classes are different everyday of the week so the variety helps keep things from not being monotonous. Rueben is very approachable and offers both encouragement and support in helping you get through the classes even though, like me, you may not be able to keep up with some of the other students. Everyone is at a different fitness level and the classes are organized so everyone can work at their own pace. Having the personal touch and weekly accountability, in both diet and exercise, is something you won’t get from trying to follow diet programs from books — which are the diet programs I’ve attempted to do in the past. If you follow Jason’s Fat Loss Bootcamp program exactly as it is laid out, you will definitely achieve results. It won’t be easy in the beginning, but it gets easier as you go along, and eventually it becomes more a part of your daily routine. If you are serious about finally losing weight, I highly recommend the 8 Week Intensive Fat Loss program as an outstanding way to get you started.

I have been super pleased with this boot camp. I had been wanting to try one and saw some of the crazy rates for the others and then I saw a deal on
for this one. I loved that the workouts were so different that you couldn’t get bored with them because I tend to get bored very easily. Ruben was super encouraging and a pleasure to work with. You can tell he loves people and is passionate about helping people achiever their fitness goals. At the end of 3 months I was an athlete. My capabilities had grown exponentially and I did better in other sports because of the boot camp. You should try this boot camp if you’re looking for a great time, a great community, and want to build some serious muscle.

I’d lost the habit of working out regularly, and Mr. America Jason Kozma’s boot camp is just what I needed. It stays interesting because each day has different activities at a different location. Being out at the beach in the early morning is great. The coaches let me go at my own pace, and I challenge myself to do more every week. I love how I’m getting stronger and trimmer. And boxing is fun – who knew?
Thank you Ruben and Jason!

This is a great boot camp. Ruben is a great guy who keeps you motivated without yelling at you. There is a nice balance of hard work and a little joking in between. Everyday you’re outside running on the beach, boxing in a nice park or maybe hiking a trail. As I’m sure with most boot camps, it has mostly women, but the workouts are geared for everyone and they really do kick your butt.
One month and you will see some real difference.

I’ve been doing the SM boot camp with Rueben for almost the past month. I have to tell you that I love it. I think Rueben is a great instructor and he does a wonderful job getting everyone motivated. He’s made it extremely easy for me to get back into working out.

If you want results, get started now! I’ve been going to the indoor small group training and it has been great. Ruben is an awesome trainer. He definitely knows what he is talking about and is a great motivator. I never worked out like this before, even going in and out of the gym for years and playing sports. I saw results quickly. In two months, I lost about 8lbs. Not only will you get results, but you gain a lot of knowledge of how to workout correctly and effectively. :) SIGN UP NOW!

With summertime right around the corner, I had to do something to get rid of the extra flab. I found Jason Kozma’s outdoor boot camp with fun, motivating workouts at a great price. What a difference a few weeks make!!! I look better than ever, & have soo much energy! Boot camp has become a fun way to get outside, & enjoy the day. I’ve lost 10lbs in just 6 weeks! With Ruben as our trainer, I have support. He pushes me harder than I could do myself. There’s no room to be lazy, or put off the body you could have. Boot camp makes it happen!!!

If you want results that will make you proud this is the boot camp for you. Ruben runs the boot camps that I go to and he is hands down the best at motivating you and coaching people of all levels of fitness. I’ve done several «other» boot camps with minimal results but the first week I started Mr. America’s SMBC I saw quality results. The routines never get boring each day is different Ruben is not one of those Drill Sergeants that stands around and just tells you what to do, he actually does each boot camp with you which helps you learn proper form and encourages you. The fee is very reasonable and very much worth it. Do yourself a favor and try it out!
