Ashley Lost 70lbs in Boot Camp!

 

 

 

 

Alex lost A WHOPPING 63 POUNDS!

"Through the last two boot camps, I lost 63 pounds and gained a new self respect that I CAN make a change in a few short weeks. The accountability and structure of the classes are one of the best features of the boot camp, as well as the instructors knowledge and input. I want to tell you all that I huffed and puffed, and even felt embarrassed at times, but each day that I went back I got a little stronger, a little thinner and realized that with hard work and commitment I could get results. You CAN DO IT TOO!" Alex

Kerrie lost 40lbs in Longevity Boot Camp

You guys are so awesome and have made such an impact on so many lives...just look around the gym. There is a new feeling there...so many ladies are empowered to build strong bodies and feel good about themselves. So many of them have seen that they can change the way their bodies look and how they feel! Then they bring that home and it impacts their families. You have started a quiet revolution...the ripple effect is kicking in. Love you guys!   Kerrie
 

 

 

 

 

Robin lost 45lbs in Boot Camp

I have been through the first two rounds of boot camp and it was the best thing I have ever done! I have lost 31 lbs since the very beginning, have lowered my blood pressure and feel amazing. When we started, I could not run from the front door to first corner of the building. I would cry all the way around my laps, but the trainers and other team members encouraged me and literally held me up some of the time! I kept giving it all I had, and now I can run 2.5 miles without stopping, among other things I never thought I could ever do. Thank you for all your encouragement and guidance. I have no plans to stop now.  Robin

Patty lost 33lbs - a whopping 13.8% body fat

I never thought I good have so much fun having my butt kicked. If it wasn't for this boot camp program I would still be OVER weight! Exercise alone doesn't work. You have to have diet and exercise together. Size 12 to a size 6 - I never dreamed I could do it. I would do the Boot camp again and again if I could. LOVED IT! Longevity's team of instructors are tops. They say milk does the body good. I say Boot Camp does a body GOOD!   Patty

She is one of the hardest trainers I had, but she has the sweetest heart - what a great combination!Thanks for having a gym where the people really truly care about the success of your members. You don't realize how much you've changed my lifestyle. Lots of love."  Bambi

 

 

 

 

 

Vivian lost 30lbs in Boot Camp

I always wanted to lose the weight from my children and I went to the gym to go. I thought I was doing good but I knew that I needed a swift kick in the right direction. I went through boot camp and got my kick right where I needed it. I feel more confident and can look in the mirror again. The support through boot camp was amazing and all the ladies where there to help each other. I can proudly say I went from a size 16 to a 10. Not only does that feel good but I now can go to the beach with my little ones and not be embarrassed. Thanks Longevity! Vivian

Julie shows what losing what losing 8lbs of fat & gaining 6lbs of muscle can do for your physique.

After Julie lost quite a bit of weight, she took boot camp to tone her new body up, dropping 2 dress sizes.

"Boot Camp had a profound and lasting effect on my life. Having always struggled with self-confidence and weight, pushing myself in the program showed me that I was the one limiting myself. The sky is the limit for what we can do if we challenge ourselves! The family environment that Boot Camp provides as well as the lasting friendships that are made are additional benefits that I did not expect. I highly recommend Longevity's Boot Camp program to everyone!"

Gretchen Jones lost 28lbs

"Every time I see someone for the first time in a few months, they are amazed at how great I look! I would say at least twice a week on average someone tells me that I look amazing and want to know how I did it. I always tell them it was Longevity Boot Camp! I am so grateful for what you have done for me. I actually like my body again! You all are AWESOME!

 

 

More feedback from our Boot Campers:

 

"I just finished up the 6 week class. I loved it! I net lost over 20 lbs of fat, and feel better then I have ever felt. Get ready to cry, be sore, and be to tired to even pick up the phone at work...But I guarantee you will see results, if you just TRY to keep up...take it from the Queen of Modification! Just ask Banjo!!" Deidre

 

"I did the first boot camp. I was so worried I couldn't keep up w/ the younger girls-I'm 52. Even though I've been a member of Longevity for over 5 years I had become complacent w/ my workouts. Yes, I would show up but I needed boot camp get a "jump-start". I started my fitness journey all those years ago close to 200 lbs and today I'm in the 130's. In boot camp I lost 9.6% body fat and almost 14 lbs. You all will be fine. I won't tell you it was easy but it was worth every sore muscle. I know you will roll your eyes when I say this but; if I can do it anyone can! Just keep showing up! Let me know if I can help any of you. See you at the gym" Barb

 

"I just want to let you know what a great job Paula & Banjo are doing for the green team.  It is exhausting but they keep motivating me to push a little further, without making me feel like a failure when I can't do it all.  My husband & daughters see such a difference in my appearance, my mood and my outlook on things.  My oldest daughter motivated me to get this temporary tattoo to remind me to keep pushing myself to the limit.  Each time I'm doing push ups I see it to remind me to keep on going. Thanks for doing the boot camp..."  Becky

 

"Thank you, thank you, thank you……this is the best program ever.  It is only the third day and I feel so optimistic about losing fat and gaining muscle.  The workouts are intense (Sharon killed us this morning) and I just love my group and trainer-GO GREEN!"  Barb

 

"WOW! I never thought working out could be this much fun! I am so thankful for this experience. I feel great (after my ice packs and Motrin at night). :-) Having so many people involved and cheering you along is awesome! That is what a TEAM is all about and boy...do we have an OUTSTANDING TEAM or what...GO GREEN!!" Heather M.

 

"BOOT CAMP IS AWESOME and so is my trainer Sharon .. I have never been pushed so hard and I love it I will get that Golden Ticket before its all over .. THE BLUE TEAM KNOWS WHAT THAT MEANS.. Thanks to Longevity and all the trainers involved .. GO BLUE!" Heather K.

 

"I just want to say this is the best thing to happen to me since jellybeans were invented LOL..not that I'm eating any. LOL... I love the team and group sessions. They are so much fun. I push myself more than I have in a long time. I can't wait until the next session..." Patty K.

 

"I just wanted to say Thank you to the trainers and everyone involved. I have been so bummed the last few months because I have only been losing about .2 pounds a week. After 1 week of boot camp I have lost 3 pounds. The workbook and the boot camp classes are really working."  Courtney

 

"WOW says it all! Thank you Sharon for pushing us to our limits. As excruciating as some of the exercises are, I love every minute of it! GO BLUE ANGELS!!!" Julie

 

"This experience has forced me to ask for help in areas that I normally would have just not dealt with. Last week I hit the place where I would normally have quit. I felt like I could not keep doing this. Everything hurt, and emotionally, I was just drained. I cried as I ran my laps around the building...not the first time either! I was able to finish that class and keep coming back BECAUSE my trainer and my team mates believe in me, even when I don't! That is what makes this program so special...we are working together, pushing each other, cheering each other on and celebrating our accomplishments!"  Kerrie   (pictured above)

Experience Freedom in a Structured Program, by Bonnie Pfiester from YourHub TCPalm

One of Austria’s premiere female authors, Marie Von Ebner-Eschenbach, once said “As far as your self-control goes, as far goes your freedom.”  We live in a world where self-control is probably one of our biggest issues – especially when it comes to food and fitness. We may be free to eat and live however we want, but eventually we are in bondage to our overweight, out of shape bodies.

Ironically, in the land of the free, millions of people are more than willing to give up their freedom at the chance of losing weight and getting in shape. Everyone who has seen Biggest Loser or Fat March knows ahead of time what to expect, yet it doesn’t stop people from trying out for weight loss reality TV.

I saw this kind of willingness at our Boot Camp kick off event. Eighty women showed up for a day of intense boot camp style training.  Clearly, it was training like they’ve never experienced before. From teens to seniors, everyone gave it their all. Several women exercised with tears flowing down their cheeks, a display of determination I had never seen before.  These women wanted a change and they were ready to do whatever it took to get rid of their ball and chain once and for all. 

Why is it people are so willing to go to such extreme measures? I believe everyone wants to lose weight. Everyone wants to be a success. Unfortunately, the same freedom we are given to succeed is also the same freedom that allows many of us to fail. This is why people look for opportunities to almost be “forced” to succeed.

We also need support structure. You may not need a program as extreme as boot camp, but you may need some kind of support system. It is too easy to get discouraged when you are alone. Hopelessness can set in and overshadow even the greatest success. However, when you have support, you have better chances of pulling through in the down times. It doesn’t matter how strong you are – we all have our down times.

I even need support. There are many times I wouldn’t run by myself if my mom didn’t run with me. There are numerous times I would get caught up in work and miss a workout if I didn’t have a workout partner I was accountable to. This is exactly why support groups, personal trainers and group programs are so effective.

Camaraderie is a powerful force. I’ve already seen it begin to grow in the beginning stages of our boot camp. People need each other more than we want to admit. Although you may have to give up a little of your freedom as you share your journey with others or follow someone’s lead, there is no better feeling than experiencing the freedom of healthy living.
