	"BCX changed the way I think -- about exercise, food, and myself!" Nadine Armstrong, Longevity Fitness Club & Spa

	"As I approached the end of the program I thought: No, wait. I. Want. More! BCx Boot Camp was an awesome experience. I am a more confident, fit, muscular, energetic Sarah Kay Hoffman. Plus, I have a “no fear” frame-of-mind to match (goodbye, complacency!) And my journey won’t end here—I’ve linked in to a supportive community of BCxers . We’re a movement! Join us today!" Sarah Kay Hoffman, BCx at Home @ FitStudio.com
	"I lost 50 lbs, but the best part is that I've kept it off for over a year. I know there are bootcampers who’ve done the same. This program has pushed me to physical limits and has given me the confidence to believe I can accomplish anything I set my mind to! " Shanon, Max Fitness Club
	"I've been toying around with some other workouts. Basically some strength training with resistance bands and a little bit of cardio here and there, and not on a daily basis. But, I keep finding myself jumping back to this BCx stuff. Bonnie and Steve Pfiester have officially addicted me to their style of complete and total self-afflicted ass kicking. I am very proud to say that I have finally weighed in at under 200 lbs. this week! This is the first time in over 10 years that I have had a weight under that mark. MAJOR GOAL achieved." Nick Collins, BCx at Home @ FitStudio.com
	"Thanks to your program and your great advice and support; I've lost 38 pounds! (That's 10 more than since the last time I saw you.) Add to that, 4 inches off the waist and hips, and I'm a pretty happy girl! Actually, I'm not quite done, the pounds just keep coming off; 1 - 2 a week steadily. How can I ever thank you enough for getting me started?" Anita, Tallahassee, Florida - Weekend Boot Camp Retreat at Costa d' Este
	"You guys are so awesome and have made such an impact on so many lives. So many of them have seen that they can change the way their bodies look and how they feel! They bring that home and it impacts their families. You have started a quiet revolution." Kerrie Coleman, Max Fitness Club
	"Just thought I would tell you how my family has enjoyed the boot camp. By day 3 I did not think I could go back but I did - and now I am in my 4th week and love it. My husband is doing exercises I thought he would never do and he has lost 18 pounds and feel better than ever. Thanks!" Natalynn Cintron, Ultima Fitness
	"It has given me nice workout routine, what is doable at home. Perfect for times, when going to gym is not possible. Plus its doable in gym :)" Evelin Virnas - BCx at Home @ FitStudio.com
	BCx showed me that my body is capable of doing so much more than I ever thought possible and has given me an enthusiasm for fitness that has filtered down to my children as well!!! Sue Minuse, Max Fitness Club
	I loved all the trainers (they were very motivating). I also really liked the communication and ability to converse when ever needed with quick responses (Thx Lynette!). The program itself overall is wonderful. I liked when the Daily Missions repeated themselves…it was nice to know what you were in for. Andrea Ultima Fitness
	I am 44 years old. Four short weeks ago, I weighed 223 lbs. Today I weigh 211 pounds. It took 10 years to put on an extra 30 pounds, but it took only four weeks to shave nearly half of the weight off—and get stronger at the same time. I would recommend BCx to anyone interested in losing weight and getting in shape. Again, these missions are not easy, but they are worth it. Christopher Boders, BCx at Home @ FitStudio.com
	This has been a great experience and I just love the challenge and eager to see what the new session will bring. Thank you very much for bringing us these great opportunities!!! You are awesome!! Donna, Ultima Fitness
	" I lost over 20 lbs of fat in boot camp, and feel better then I have ever felt. I loved it! 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.” Deidre, Longevity Fitness Club & Spa
	Wow! That's the only way to describe the results of BCx Boot Camp. I've gained so much strength and endurance! Instead of going into the new year with a few pounds to lose, I've actually lost weight during the holiday season! Sarah Swenson, Ultima Fitness
	“I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed the pain! Some people have a job, but you all exude your love and happiness in what you do. Your ability to motivate, educate, and make people work hard has not been experienced by me in any other program. Thanks so much for all you are doing to make me (us) more healthy and happy” John E., Max Fitness Club
	When I did my first boot camp I was so worried I couldn't keep up with the younger girls. I'm 52. Even though I've been a member of Longevity for over 5 years I’d become complacent with my workouts. In boot camp I lost 9.6% body fat and almost 14 lbs. if I can do it anyone can! " Barb, Longevity Fitness Club & Spa
	I was on the eve of my 49th birthday when I saw the ads for boot camp. I was worried that I could not handle it. Would it make me stronger or defeat me? Make me feel older or give me a sense of power and purpose? After the first class, I knew the answers. Boot camp was awesome. It was fun, hard, exhausting and uplifting all at the same time. I could not wait for each class. It did not matter that we were all at different levels of fitness. Everyone wanted each person to do their best and improve their physical strength. After four weeks, I felt stronger and more determined than ever. Dr. Debra Weinstein, Ultima Fitness
	"WOW! I never thought working out could be this much fun! I’m so thankful for this experience. I feel great (after my ice packs and Motrin at night). Having so many people involved cheering you along is awesome! Heather, Max Fitness Club
	"Through the last two boot camps, I lost 63 pounds and gained a new self respect. The accountability and structure of the classes are one of the best features of the boot camp, as well as the instructor’s knowledge and input. 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 I realized that with hard work and commitment I could get results. You CAN DO IT TOO!" Alex, Longevity Fitness Club & Spa
	Doing BCx bootcamp as a family, we would leave, have dinner and just have fun conversations about what we did and what we accomplished. It has meant something different for each of us. For my husband it was getting him back into an exercise routine and losing weight. For me it was pushing myself out of my comfort zone. For Sydney it was to build endurance and muscle. We all completed our goals and are excited for the next one. Natalynn Cintron, Ultima Fitness

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.
