For a long time I’ve been considering getting back into shape because as I mourned the fact that my children have lost their baby-fat I came to the stark realization that I had not lost mine. But let me be real–I just didn’t feel like expending all that energy when there’s so much good, bad food to be had! But I had to admit that I lost any ability I thought I had to “suck-it-in” at the pool, so I was at the “considering” stage and asking friends about the merits of their gyms when I found out about GET FIT Boot camps in Ramsey NJ.
What attracted me to a fitness boot camp in Ramsey is that unlike other personal training programs that require 5 days a week, they offer three 45 minute workouts a week in a small group setting. All the benefits of having a personal trainer less the cost! Three 45 minute workouts seemed manageable, but could they really change the look of my body and improve the way I feel?
Now I used to be active. Then came kids. And snacks. I think it was the “Goldfish” Crackers that put me over the edge. Those little cheddar fish are notoriously deceiving–they look tiny and harmless, but they’re really sharks and I hold them responsible for at least 10 pounds!
I arrived at the gym and was greeted by an extremely fit and muscular trainer young enough to be my son if I had drank one too many Jell-O shots in college. But there were also other people there who, like me, were looking to get fit, so I was not intimidated and we encouraged each other along the way. We lifted weights; we ran; we did jumping jacks; we pulled tension bands; we squatted; we crunched; we kick boxed. But you know something? When the session was over I felt great. I mean really great.
I’m happy to report that I just finished my third week with at Get Fit Boot Camp and I feel great and actually look forward to the three nights I get to spend in Ramsey with my trainer and my fellow Get Fit boot campers. I’ve lost more than 6 pounds and I’ve dropped a full size. My arms and my abs are beginning to show definition and, most importantly, I feel better than I have in a long time.
I’ve wasted hours doing nothing—so what’s 45 minutes? GET FIT Boot camps has not only changed the way I look, but it has changed the way I feel! And I love the people I’ve met!
