dasBütt

Looks like the number is no longer in use (got a really upset woman on the phone). PJ if you are still doing bootcamps, let us know!
Best!

I first got introduced to PJ at 24 hour fitness when I decided to hire on a personal trainer for a couple of sessions. When the manager was asking me what my goals were so he could pair me up with the right trainer, I said: I’m training for a marathon in October, and cross training is going to be the key to my success. I need someone who will kick my ass! I need a trainer who can push me beyond my limits, make me do those exercises I see in my Oxygen magazine but never do on my own.
Here came PJ. As I am writing this review, entire body is sore from our last workout. It’s a GOOD sore though… the sore that means ITS WORKING! Now that PJ is a free agent, I followed him out of the gym and into his studios. Thanks PJ!

Ok, so I’ve never been to dasButt but I hired PJ as my personal trainer. Throughout the years I have done the yo-​yo of fitness but was never able to make the changes necessary. PJ pushed me harder than I imagined and got me past that wall of «almost» fit and into the land of «high school» weight. I have dropped 3 pant sizes, increased indurance, and gained muscular form that makes me proud to wear sleeveless shirts. Thanks PJ! You’ve finally gotten me to live a healthy life :) If you want to take life by the horns PJ is your guy!

I have been with a lot of trainers and he is the best. He is the only one who will not cut me any slack. If you are look for a real challenge and are serious about getting into shape he is the one for you. I use to be 240lbs now i am 169lbs. I have been training with him for 2 years and i will fallow him everywhere, I would be 300lbs if it was not for him. I am going to stay with him and with his help i have a perfect body.

Boot Camp is great and PJ is great! PJ keeps you moving the entire time. He always has something new so there is no way to get bored. I am in the best shape of my life! PJ knows what he is doing and is very motivating. Anyone who goes to boot camp will love it and get a great work out!

I HATE bootcamp, but, I LOVE Das Bütt.
I work downtown. I have one of those jobs where I sit on my ass, all day. Frankly, don’t even get up to get coffee any more. I just deal with it, and sleep at my desk. But, when I’m not sleeping at my desk, in the morning and afternoon, I see this insane GAGGLE of poor souls doing jumping jacks outside of my window, with three random instructors blowing whistles and wearing «army» like gear, yelling at them. Jumping jacks? Really? Who does jumping jacks anymore? And why do all of you continue to look out of shape, every time I see you flailing outside my window?
THIS IS NOT THAT BOOTCAMP.
I actually found PJ first as a personal trainer. It was then that I knew, he was the one. The one guy who could make me lose weight and get my fat ass in shape. He totally knew what he was doing, and was not some high school kid looking for a side job (like the rest of the trainers). Moreover, he was cool. Chill. Laid back. And he knew exactly what would motivate me.
Anyway, after training with him (which I still do and highly recommend), I started going to his bootcamps– Das Bütt. Das Bütt is once a week, typically a Saturday morning (start time 9 or 10 am). It’s always in an amazing part of the city, that is an organic obstacle course. His toys are insane — and they work you out completely differently than any machine you’d encounter in a gym.
PJ knows what he is doing and DasBütt will kick your ass, no matter how fit or unfit you are. Also, have an injury or need to modify something? PJ is an expert on that too. Think you are the strongest man alive with a ripped 6 pack a la The Situation? PJ with stand on your back while you do push ups and make you cry like a lobster in a boiling pot.
More importantly, if you’re out of shape (like me), he’ll get you in it. I’m 5’4″, and since working out with him, have dropped 20 pounds and 3 dress sizes. I actually have a core. I’m much stronger than even my old glory H.S. days.
Plus, DasBütt is cheap. First timers are free — and every time after that is 20 bucks to have your ass kicked for 1 – 2 hours and have PJ there to guide you. If you are a consistent goer, there are package deals. I like this much better than the «pay 600 bucks for 6 am work outs every day» method.
Seriously, PJ is a rockstar. Secretly, I hope you don’t come because I don’t know you yet and I’m not sure I want you all up in my grill while I’m enjoying the best boot camp in the city.

Definitely a kickass workout. Never liked bootcamps much due to the thought of someone screaming in my face. But this is different… this is how a bootcamp should run.
You get to the location that is disclosed that week, and «toys» are spread out everywhere (TRX bands, resistance tubes, kettle bells, sand balls, sand bats, tractor tires, yoga mats) and it looks like it’s just gonna be painful fun. An hour and a half goes by pretty quick and is well worth the 20 bucks.
PJ knows his stuff as a certified personal trainer and has retained a great group of people that are hooked to his style. He guides you in a motivational way to complete the exercises with good form, and encourages that you go at your own pace, yet push yourself to ensure you are getting a great workout.
You sweat, you grunt, you squeal, you feel the burn… all necessary components for a bootcamp. dasButt is a must do bootcamp if you are in the Bay Area and will help you reach your fitness goals to keep you healthy and strong.

This bootcamp is amazing. PJ is an incredible trainer that combines fun with fitness. DasButt delivers a full body workout that comes equipped with many laughs. PJ finds great locations throughout the city that encompass built in fitness challenges. Whether we’re dragging ropes across Chrissy Field, running the sand ladder at Baker Beach, or running the Lyon street stairs, fun fitness toys and camaraderie are always involved too. Anybody that comes out to join the group at DasButt won’t regret it.

I’ve been working out with PJ for almost a year now and I’m completely hooked! He’s an amazing trainer and motivator. I’m in the best shape of my life thanks to him, and I can honestly say I thoroughly enjoy our early morning ass kicking sessions. Especially the Saturday morning Bütt camps. The workouts are never boring or repetitive. PJ always has some new «toy» to torture us with. And he does it all with that cute little (evil) smile on his face. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. But most importantly, you’ll sweat! If you’re looking for a new fun way to get in shape — look no further than Das Bütt!

I give PJ and Das Butt 5 stars!!! because
A. i lost 40+ lbs and inches everywhere!
B. i am now totally comfortable and productive at the gym
C. i fear the wrath of his «toys»
don’t get me wrong, he can be a huge prick. but he’s a great guy, a great friend, a great supporter, and a great instigator for positive change in my life. but he’s still a prick :)
love you pj!

PJ is probably the best trainer I have ever had (out of the 3 for my entire life) — he not only helped me to move me toward achieving my goal, but led me to discover my own self motivator. If it weren’t for PJ and his amazing-​ness — I probably would never be motivated to jump on the highway and road to skinny…
I LOVE DAS BUTT!!!

I had bitch tits even when i was already ‘working out.’ Now I know what a REAL workout feels like and what a REAL diet looks like. In only my first 4 months training with PJ I went from 28% body fat at 208 lbs. down to 12% body fat at under 200 lbs. A year later I’m still under 10% body fat with a six pack.
