Amber I am a 49 years old (and holding) mother of two teenage children; I have always been fit however, after one year with Belinda (B) I cannot believe the improvement in my level of fitness. My reasons for joining "Be More Fitness" (BMF) boot camps were not to lose weight, although I have, or embark on a personal journey simply stated "I needed a fitness challenge". After more than 20 years of going to gyms, I was tired and bored of the limited services they had to offer. All those years sweating at gyms and all that money paid to trainers produced little results when compared to what I have attained with B in a very short period. I have a background in Nutrition and education so it's important that any fitness program offer basic nutritional advice and BMF offers this complementary service other boot camps charge a fee. Prior to joining BMF I audited a number of boot camps and was very disappointed with the level of instruction, or lack there of, I observed. Many of these trainers were not watching or correcting their participants, this can lead to injury. Although I can name a litany of factors that sold me on BMF boot camps the key items are B's level of competency, she knows her stuff, she's unrelenting with participants' safety and she is constantly introducing new equipment. We do not get bored each session is different and somehow she accommodates all levels of fitness. I look forward to turning 50, being fit and not simply fighting gravity! Why I think everyone should try at least one "Be More Fitness Bootcamp" If you do one thing for your health and fitness you should give Be More Fitness Boot Camps a chance. Be More Fitness is unlike any fitness program that I have tried before. Besides being great fitness trainers and motivators, Belinda and Colin and their staff of trainers, CARE. They don’t want you at their camps just going through the motions; they are concerned for your health and well-being. That’s why I think that everyone should try Be More Fitness and that is why I am going to continue to stick with them and show everyone that I can BE MORE. At 46 I realised that I would soon be 50 and if I did not get in shape now I could see myself having issues as I got older. I have enjoyed the training sessions because it is something different every lesson and I never get bored. I have just completed my first month and have signed up for another month. I find I have more energy and I now take my dogs for a walk every evening after dinner (my husband was the primary dog walker in the household!). My goal is to keep up the training sessions, lose weight, define my body and walk 3 times a week around the whole of Chaparral! I joined be more fitness because if you have ever been over weight. you know how uncomfortable it is. I was slim my whole life until I turned 25, my motivation, eating habits and energy level went down the tubes. I will be turning 30 in January and would like to start my 30's feeling better and looking better. I believe with my motivation and the motivation that Belinda gives, I will be able to achieve that!! MY WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY - PART I
Hi, my name is Shelley and I am on a journey - a journey towards a better me. For the longest time I did not think I could devote myself to anything other than my family’s needs and I felt fully justified. I gained a lot of weight. On December 26, 2008, I decided I needed to gain some control over my health. I haven’t reached my goal yet, but I am getting there. I have lost 59 lbs and 18 inches so far but that isn’t the change that has made the biggest difference; it is the energy, the confidence and the strength that I have gained that have made the biggest difference. My life is crazy busy with three teenage kids, working full time as a finishing carpenter and trying to be a good wife and mother. After only a few weeks of joining Be More Fitness, I noticed I sleep better, my mood is better and I can do my job more efficiently. I started working out 2 nights a week just to get used to it and now my routine is getting up “really early” in the morning and working out 5 mornings a week. Also, by attending the nutrition workshop, my eating habits have totally changed and I am learning how to eat properly. Be More Fitness has helped me to feel proud that I am making a change in my life. I will keep you posted on my continued success. "I’m a mother of 4 and for years have felt tired and run down. I had never done any exercise programs and hadn’t done any running type activities since highschool gym class. The morning fitness Bootcamp interested me because it’s offered early in the morning when kids are still snug in bed sleeping. I’m not much of a morning person, but thought it was worth giving a shot. "I have always been involved with sports throughout my life, but an injury had sidelined me for a couple of years. During that time, I gained a substantial amount of weight and have tried many things to try to get it off and keep it off. I had been mostly unsuccessful until I started the Be More Fitness boot camps. The program offers the ultimate balance of workouts, plus the information needed in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The trainers are all well-educated and very passionate about helping their clients succeed. I have never been pushed this hard before, yet they do it in a very encouraging manner and are actually pretty funny!
This program is truly for anybody who wants to get on track to a healthy lifestyle. There is no reason to be intimidated because they modify the exercises to correspond to any fitness level and even to injuries. Also, the other people in the class are very welcoming and friendly. The best part is that you will definitely see results! After my first boot camp, the numbers went down on the scale, but most importantly, I lost inches all over my body. I feel stronger, I have more energy, and my posture has even improved! I will soon be signing up for my 5th month of boot camp and this is the longest I’ve consistently worked out and I’m still seeing great results. As a coach, I can finally run drills with my players without getting out of breath. I can now even keep up with teenage boys in a pick-up game of basketball! In short, I have nothing but praise for the program that Be More Fitness has set up for their clients. If you want a fun, informative, and productive way to be successful in your fitness routine, and even life in general, Be More Fitness is the way to go! "It's a great workout with great trainers. I love the group atmosphere but appreciate that I can work to my level. The variety of different training sessions makes it never dull and always challenging. I definitely tell my friends and will keep signing up for more. It's fun to see you continually incorporate new equipment and exercises. Keep up the great work(outs)! "I have never been very athletic and really had no interest in exercising at all, but when I had my baby and had gained quite a bit of weight, I knew I had to do something. My fiancé talked me in to trying Bootcamp for one month. I really did not think that I was fit enough to be doing a Bootcamp but he asked me to just try it. At first, it was very intimidating for me knowing that I was not fit at all but I did end up finishing my first month and was very proud of myself. The class was great because we were able to work at our own pace, with a little push and direction from the trainer, which is what I needed. I also like having other people in the class. We all try and help each to push ourselves even more. I am now participating in my third month of Bootcamp and I really have noticed a huge difference, not only in my appearance, but also in my fitness level. I now look forward to working out and the feeling of accomplishment I get when I am done. Everyone I know has been commenting on how well I look and how much more energy I have. Bootcamp is great because it allows me to push myself more and more each time I go. I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking of getting back into an exercise program or even thinking of switching theirs up a bit. “I would highly recommend Belinda's outdoor bootcamp. It is a great way to get into shape, have fun and enjoy being outdoors. I have been doing the bootcamps since April 2007 and have noticed a significant difference in my fitness level. Belinda is extremely motivating, and makes each work-out a challenge. Each session is different and offers a variety of exercises for everyone no matter what your fitness level. It is the best one hour work-out I have ever had! ” "My initial goal for joining bootcamp was varied. I'd been hit by a car while crossing the street years ago, resulting in hip pain that would chronically flare up if I wasn't active enough. I also was hoping to trim a few inches and lose a few pounds. But the key factor? In exactly 10 days from today, I'm turning 40. And before I signed up, I just didn't have the energy to face it! By 3pm each day, I'd be so tired I'd usually have to take a nap. Ridiculous. Luckily, we just happened to move into Chaparral this summer, and found out about Belinda's 5:30 am bootcamp. I love that it doesn't interfere with my work schedule. Yes it's hard and tiring. Yes you get a little soggy some days. But in only 2-1/2 weeks, I'm more energetic, stronger, and more confident than I've ever been. If I feel this great now, I can't wait to see how I feel once I do turn 40. Thanks Belinda. Hope you keep your camps running through the winter and for as long as you can. I'll be there!" "I have always been active, however going almost 2 years without a workout program, I realized I was not reaching my potential. I highly recommend Belinda's Bootcamp for anyone that wants to get into shape and feel the results quickly. I like the variation of exercises and being outdoors. It's the most effective one hour workout that I have experienced, and plan to make this a regular part of my life. "Within the last 3 months l have been able to see my body actually lose inches and gain muscle, not only have l become stronger l feel so much better about myself. For the first time that I can remember I have actually seen results, not only that, I feel great. When I walk, I walk tall and proud. You see she has taught me to not only to believe in myself, but to go at my own pace, and to keep going, keep moving, keep focused!
Oh, yes don't get me wrong it is a struggle day by day to get up, but every class is different so you never get bored, and knowing how to do the exercises properly is of utmost importance and feeling the muscles working is awesome.
Trying to keep exercise as part of my life is a difficult task and always will be, with working full time and raising 2 full grown up girls and becoming a grandma soon, staying healthy is number one on my list and Belinda you make it just a little bit easier for me!
I would like to thank you Belinda Morrison of Be More Fitness for without your dedication and hard work and never boring us with training sessions, l would have quit like l have every other program! You see Belinda you taught me to believe in myself, to go at my own pace, and to keep going, keep moving, and keep focused!
YES, exercise will always be a struggle like it has been in the past, but today l stand a bit taller, prouder, and feel much better about myself within this world around us that revolves around images!
Thank you Belinda, I wouldn't know what to do without you in the morning, your training sessions are great!" "Belinda is an 'excellent trainer', she strives to make you work hard, paying attention to work each body part and muscle which is 'great'.Belinda's boot camps are always 'interactive', 'upbeat', never dull and always something 'new' each time you 'hit' her boot camp as well you are in the 'great outdoors' what more could you ask for in a workout! I have seen wonderful results in the shape and tone of my body." "My main reason for joining Be More Fitness Boot Camps was to find a workout regime that I did not have to go to a gym for and pay for a membership that I would never use. Belinda incorporates variety, fun, new techniques, all at the same time pushing you further than you think you can go. After having two children, my body has never been the same. I have gained energy, self-esteem, inches (down one size so far), and love of working out. If I had a gym membership, I would be lost and never go. I look forward getting up early, attending Belinda’s boot-camp and working out with her. She never prejudged me and only encouraged me to go further. From these boot camps, I have increased my endurance, strength, and balance. I even enjoy breaking a sweat. But....the best think that I have gained is the friendships that have gained and the respect I have for myself. I love attending Belinda’s Boot-Camps with Be More Fitness." "5:30 A.M. is an ungodly hour of the morning, and it is dark outside at this time of the year. But somehow, I have managed to not miss a class, and within five minutes of being there, I am actually enjoying myself. Even though I am the oldest person at the boot camp, the instructors have found ways to adjust the exercises for me. I am sitting straighter and standing taller. I have more flexibility and am slowly developing more strength. It is has been most beneficial for me.
Your program and instructors are awesome!" "This is my first experience with a bootcamp! I am new to the experience but I am loving the workout. I find I am being pushed to my full potential and I feel gratified once I am done the workout. The instructor Jess is motivating and keeps you going through it all. Theres nothing better than being fit and getting that way with a group of great people! " "I would have never thought I could wake up at 5:00 am, workout for an hour and function during the rest of the day, but surprisingly I have more energy and feel so much better. The best thing about the program is the variety it provides. No more boring exercise routines! We never know what is in store for us, but we know it will be a good, hard workout. Belinda is very motivating and really puts you in a mood to workout even at the awful hour of 5:30 AM!"
"The Airdrie Bantam AA hockey team was looking for an
off-ice program that was specific to our sport. I
contacted Belinda at Be More Fitness Inc. and discussed
with her how she could provide this service. Belinda
assured me that she could design a hockey specific
program that would improve the player’s fitness. |
