Long Beach Boot Camp provides the best workouts I've ever had! Shannon and Caroline are very encouraging and motivating, but really demanding at the same time!!!!! I strongly recommend giving it a shot, and challenging yourself to keep up!!! It will be the hardest and greatest thing you can do for yourself!

Jo,

...There are a few things that I learned make a difference for me to lose weight...

1. Yes, journaling is a big deal! I committed to 100% not just the first part of the day.
2. I made my lunch everyday and measured everything!!!
3. I do better with whole grains that are NOT bread.
4. I really tried to break the mental barrier that exercise is hard. Blah blah blah... I just gotta DO it and stay POSITIVE while I'm at it!

This class is amazing. The trainers are so motivating and really push you at your individual level. When class is over you feel great, like you had an amazing workout and a positive experience. For anyone no matter what fitness level you are at you will love this class, the women who run it and the other boot campers.

Shannon,

My life has now changed and I owe it to your instruction and training. From regular exercising to nutrition to healthy living,

Shannon and all the gals who I talked to were so encouraging and understanding. I've enjoyed camp immensely.

Thanks to Shannon and Caroline I have lost 20+ pounds, lowered my cholesterol, and gotten STRONGER! They provide positive encouragement along with the tough but attainable fitness challenges!

With an "iron fist in a velvet glove" approach, Long Beach Adventure Boot Camp inspires even the most baked 'couch potato' (me!) into reaching their fitness goals - all while taking advantage of our wonderful California climate and local parks. Plus, there truly is NEVER a dull moment, as they are constantly adding new things to the workout and offering education 'beyond the exercise mat'. The camaraderie & commitment is amazing! Try it!

I wanted to touch base and let know how much Long Beach Adventure Boot Camp inspired B and I, and how much it turned our weight loss and lives around!

    I joined Long Beach Boot Camp in June 2008 and completed 2 sessions. Due to circumstances beyond my control I was unable to rejoin but everything I learned and did with Shannon and Caroline has stayed with me. I continue to stay healthy by using the advice and tools Caroline and Shannon gave me and I continue to lose weight. The motivation is key and we were given motivation throughout our grueling workouts! Long Beach Adventure Boot Camp rocks! I can't wait to rejoin this October 13th!

Wonderful program. Everyone's individual needs are taken into account. Everyone is treated with dignity and respect and encouraged to do their personal best. I have lost 30 lbs and 5 inches off my waist. My cholesterol dropped 50 points in the first 4 to 6 weeks.

I joined Long Beach Boot Camp 18 months ago while I was in the midst of chaos in my personal life. I was going through three different extremely stressful life processes involving my home life and marriage, in addition to dealing with considerable work stress. Fortunately, I have good friends who invited me to join. It turns out that all they needed to do was get me "in the door"... the rest was up to me!

I rocked Surf City Half Marathon !!! Without training! Four months after my baby was born! That's right, I never did a single long run to prepare as I did not plan to do this race ... thought it was too soon ... but the day before the race I got a complimentary official race entry from one of my friends who worked her media contacts with race officials and I knew I had to do it, crazy or not.

I had not run in over 20 years. After several sessions of LBBC I was challenged by a friend to run the Disneyland Half Marathon in 2007. It turned out to be the hottest day of the year but I was prepared and psyched to do it. I ran the race and finished 2:55:43.

I have gone on to run the LB Full Marathon last year and 2 other half marathons most recently with the Surf City Half Marathon beating my PB by 17 minutes... I am hooked on the marathons now and have 4 more Half Marathons scheduled for 2009.

Dedicated women with a great work out regimen for every kind of person at every level of fitness. They make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. Everyone leaves feeling empowered, stronger, and proud.

Hi Shannon,

I just wanted to share the good news with you. 
Ryan was born Oct 13th.  Weighing a huge 9lbs 12oz! 

My history with Long Beach Boot Camp made me strong during & after delivery.   With no help from family I had to be a mom of 3 kids.  It's been non stop running around.  My tummy is shrinking faster than with the other deliveries & I have Long Beach Boot Camp to thank.

So get ready because I will be back in January so that you can kick me back into shape!

Long Beach Adventure Boot Camp is Awesome!!! They are great instructors and motivators who keep the classes challenging and fun, while everybody works out at their own pace. No matter what your current fitness level may be there is always plenty of motivational support and encouragement from other LB Boot Campers as well. Never expect the same old exercise routine in this class. The emphasis in this class is on core strength and overall conditioning. I started seeing improvements in myself the very first week. I've tried personal trainers, gyms, etc...

My name is Irene Lewis. I was 51 years old when I started Boot Camp in February of 2006. I weighed 192 pounds and wore an 18-dress size. After 5 months of Long Beach Boot Camp 5 days a week I lost 20 pounds and FIVE DRESS SIZES!!!

Long Beach Adventure Boot Camp is the best!! Shannon & Caroline are so awesome! They have created a great program for men & women of any age and any ability! I know first hand as I was a 43-year-old mother who walked in wide eyed & out-of-shape. Within about four months I had lost 25 pounds. Better than the weight loss was the encouragement and the confidence that Shannon & Caroline gave to me! Do yourself a favor and if you live in Long Beach or the surrounding areas, give them a call NOW! You will not be sorry!

These amazing women taught me how to reclaim something in me that I thought I had lost, something that goes way beyond reclaiming my inner athlete. They helped me to remember who I am and I cannot recommend their program enough!

Long Beach Adventure Boot Camp is the most effective and fun workout that I've ever experienced. In just a few short weeks, my confidence, energy, and fitness levels have increased, and I've been able to achieve far more than I had imagined in terms of my workout. What makes Long Beach Adventure Boot Camp even more special is the expertise and motivation provided by the fabulous trainers, who take a personal interest in helping all Boot Campers achieve their goals.

Shannon and Caroline are so very skilled in their chosen profession. They each are truly results oriented with both the education and experience to make an individual successful despite injuries (or excuses) in an environment of genuine care and concern. Money and time well spent...again and again!

I look forward to every class and the new challenges Caroline has in store for us. She and Shannon motivate every one of us to do our best without intimidation, but through inspiration. Working out with the group is fun, in part because we face the same challenges together every morning. The venue is perfect (Wilson High), and every Friday we have the "pleasure" of running up and down Signal Hill, which I never thought I could do.

I have been blessed with a good physique, genes, and metabolism. I have never had to be concerned with my weight nor have I been the least bit interested in a regular fitness program.

But after college life, bad eating habits, a cholesterol test of 265 and then the birth of my 2 wonderful kids, I was pretty unhappy about how my body looked. Not to mention, I felt sluggish most of the time. I realized that I'd actually have to make some changes and work at being in the kind of shape I knew I wanted to be.

This Boot Camp has changed my life! For many years I have struggled with my weight until I discovered Long Beach Boot Camp. The coaches keep me moving and motivated to do my very best. Everyday is a different workout; there is no way of getting bored. I have lost over 60lbs since joining. I receive complements everyday on how fit and healthy I am now. I proudly say it's because of "Long Beach Boot Camp!" I would recommend this program to everyone on all sorts of fitness levels.

I am 53 years old and my exercise program had given way to romance, wedding preparation and settling into married life.  My hair dresser gave me a post card advertising your camp.  While she had participated in a camp located in another area, she sold me on trying it because of her success stories and the fact that she is a little older than I.  Fast forwarding to my first day, I could not believe what I was being asked to do!  Run!! With each class, I could go a little farther than the class before.  Success #1; I can now run the 3/4 lap.

I am my own worst critic. A skill perfected by millions of women before me. Through the fine art of psychological projection most women also have the skill of putting each other down. However, there is hope for all of us if we resolve to evolve. Boot Camp is a place where women can come together, free of worries and image standards. At 5:30 in the morning we are all beautiful. Deep inside we all know we’re capable of great things and you help us remove the road blocks to achieve our goals.
