Boot Camp

Women's Health Magazine just came out with an article on boot camp, stating that it is the most effective way of working out. It makes your body function like a machine, efficient and fast. All the exercises in boot camps target the whole body, which is a much more efficient way of conditioning the body. Using your own resistance; focusing on cardio, strength, and agility.

Boot camp begins May 10th @ 9:30. Join me now!
