Frequently Asked Questions

Who should join boot camp?

Our four week Boot Camp programs are available in two popular formats. For women only, we offer our highly effective "Mission Possible Boot Camp" designed to help drop inches and tone muscle. So that the men don't feel left out, we offer a co-ed fitness camp that features the latest fitness craze to hit the province (TRX Co-ed Boot Camp). TRX Boot Camp delivers a cutting edge fitness program that has no equal in the fitness industry and delivers results quickly as it utilizes metabolic fitness training through the use of TRX Suspension Training and cardio drills. Whether you choose "Mission Possible Boot Camp for Women" or "TRX Co-ed Boot Camp", all programs are designed for healthy people of all ages and fitness levels. Both formats tests your mettle in a fun and challenging group atmosphere. Our professionally trained and certified trainers will provide modifications to any exercise for those who need to be careful of injuries or for those who need an even tougher challenge. Please inform your trainer of any and all limitations or injuries prior to starting a class
