The Healthy Bride

I did the Healthy Bride Bootcamp in 2009 and I loved it. I signed up for the class because I had recently lost weight and was afraid that the stress of wedding planning was going to cause me to gain it back. The class was wonderful (and I did not gain any of the feared weight). There was a lot of running and circut training. Being an older and not overly fit bride I did find the class rather hard to keep up with. It may have just been the class I was in but everyone else seemed to have a background in running in addition to being 10 years younger than by 36 year old self. Still, the trainers were incredible and really got me to push myself. I learned a lot, got exercise, felt great, and had fun. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I have been thinking of signing up for (post wedding) another boot camp.

Christi and her team were awesome! I worked with them for 6 months before my wedding in June of 2009 and I really toned up for the big day! Plus, I started some great healthy habits of routine exercise and made friends that I continued to work out with on my own.

Christi is amazing! I never get bored since our workouts are always different and the group of women I work out with are encouraging and one of the best parts of my day. I’m gearing up to be a bridesmaid in my sister– in– law’s wedding this August and I know I’m in the best shape I’ve been in since highschool, maybe even better especially endurance wise. Thanks Christi for setting me on the right path!

I worked out with Christi Masi doing the bridal bootcamp for a few months in 2006 when I first got engaged. Work commitments kept me from being able to do it consistently, but Christi allowed me to transfer my payment to purchase her dvd and exercise equipment so I could workout at home. I still use the dvd sometimes.
While I was able to attend sessions, I really enjoyed it. We started with a fitness assesment, so we could evaluate our progress at the end. At the begining of each class we all said how we were doing that week, gave updates on our lives and weddings, and then did an hour of circuit training, working each major muscle group and doing short bursts of cardio in between.
The class was challenging, but not discouraging. We were each able to work at our own level and Christi was very motivating. We often worked in pairs as well.
The class won’t make you an Olympic athelete (though she now offers more advanced, hard core classes, and sessions not specifically geared at brides) but combined with additional workouts on your own, cardio and a healty diet, it will definately help you get in shape. The workout was hard enough to make a difference, but not so difficult that it wasn’t still fun.
