What is FitCamp?
An outdoor Functional Interval Training program for people looking for a serious change to their workout program or for those needing a jump-start to their fitness program. We combine your cardio (walking, jogging, sprints, stairs), resistance training (bands, medicine balls, body weight exercises, calisthenics), core training and stretching into a challenging but fun fitness program. -
-
If you feel you need to be in shape before starting FitCamp - that’s not true. Our classes are designed so that you can participate at your own level and pace; no matter what your fitness level. During FitCamp, the workouts will progress to match your increase in strength and conditioning over the course of the weeks.

Why use Medicine Balls?
-
The unpredictable path of a medicine ball as it flies through the air forces the exerciser to use entire muscle groups instead of, say, just the biceps or deltoids. Continuous adaptation is the key to achieving a new level of fitness and continued results, and no two med-ball reps are the same.
This is no traditional resistance training, which isolates small areas of the body. All the muscle fibers in your body, from toes to fingertips, fire in rapid succession as you first balance, then propel the medicine ball into the air. Run to the ball and repeat this sequence for 50-100 yards and discover new muscles you never knew existed. Don't worry; you can do this workout! -
What to expect:
-
Participants will not be yelled at or humiliated, but, instead, encouraged and motivated. This is a combination of many aspects of fitness training that continually change and challenge you to reach your fitness goals. You will experience the most innovative workouts you've ever had with real results to show for it.
-
What will you do each day?
-
Each workout is so different it's hard to say, since variety is the key to continued results. But each day will consist of Active Isolated Stretching, running or walking, calisthenics, resistance training (using exercise bands, TRX Suspension Trainers and bodyweight: pushups, dips, etc.), plyometrics, balance discs, obstacles, stairs or hills and medicine ball exercises. We also incorporate core / abdominal training into all of our workouts.

Who can participate / Will I get left behind?
No matter what your current fitness level, exercise experience, coordination, fitness goals or expectations you will be able to participate and complete each and every workout. Each daily workout is designed to allow you to exercise at your own level and pace. -
