My
weight was continuing to climb and I could see that I needed
to take an aggressive step to lose some weight. I committed
to myself that I would start the boot camp as soon as school
ended in June 2011. I went out the first time and I was amazed
at what we did. I was also very excited. My goal was to lose
between 25 & 30 pounds. I continued to go out and my fellow
boot campers helped a lot. I met my goal weight by October.
I lost 25 pounds and 32 inches. I lost 2 pant sizes and I feel
great. Now I continue to come because I enjoy the feeling that
pushing my body gives me and I enjoy Casey and my fellow boot
campers. My biggest tip is that you HAVE to follow the meal
plan because I feel like that really gets the weight off.
Step
one: sign up and report. You won’t regret it!!!

I
weighted 325 lbs before I started my diet. I slept with a C-pap
machine because I would stop breathing at night. After finding
my grade school friends on Facebook, we all decided to put together
a 35th reunion; that was in May of 2010. Then is when I decided
to get back into shape. I changed my eating habits; I cut out
the soda and fast foods.
I
started to walk and then joined the YMCA where I saw Casey’s
Fitness Boot camp program. I wanted to join it but knew I would
not survive 3 minutes in the shape I was in. I hadn’t
worked out in over 20 years. I started with Zumba to get my
body used to moving again. Did that for a few months, and then
moved on to a cycling and core classes for another few months
to get my body use to exercising again.
I
lost 60 lbs my own. Now you’d say that’s good, right?
Well yes it was, but everything was sagging and there was no
toning up. So I decided to join Casey’s FitnessBootCamp4U
on February 1st. That first day, after just one hour, I sat
on the bench in the Y and I could not move for an hour-in-a-half.
Mind you, I worked out on my own for 7 months previously to
get into shape for this camp.
I
went home and soaked in the tub for 2 days with Advil becoming
my best friend. I worked hard 3 days a week with Casey and went
to the gym on the other 2 days. Casey taught me how to eat better
by eating the right foods for losing weight and gaining energy.
Casey is funny and firm, at the same time he has the patience
of a saint, and cares about his clients by taking the time to
explain things. Most of all he knows how to motivate you to
push yourself. When you think you can’t go on he gives
you the encouragement to do so without yelling and screaming.
Three
months later (February to April), I lost 15 lbs and 11 inches
over my body, (a total of 85Lbs); dropped from a 52” waist
to a 40” waist. I toned up and have cuts in my arms that
I NEVER had before. I increased my cardio, I feel better, I
look better, I’m stronger, and don’t need my C-Pap
machine to breath at night. It took me a year ~ to go from looking
like this (on left), to this (on right). Unfortunately I’m
moving and unable to continue with Casey. He has set the bar
very high to find another instructer to replace him where I‘m
going. If you want to get into shape and tone up Casey’s
FitnessBootCamp4U is the way to go! Thanks Casey!!

After
the first 10 minutes of boot camp I uttered the words, “What
was I thinking?”, and panted to my boot camp instructor,
“I can’t breathe.” But I survived that first
day, showed up two days later and made it through another boot
camp again. With the aid of the instructor and an awesome supporter
who herself had lost over 70 lbs. within the camp and was back
for maintenance, I was motivated thru cheers and sometimes even
the punishment of mountain climbers and up-downs. Don’t
even try to eat a kid’s Whataburger meal, it won’t
be tolerated on your food diary and you will have to pay the
consequences! Over the 9 months I attended FitnessBootCamp4U,
thru rain and even snow, I developed friendships, self-confidence,
established good eating habits and instilled a self-motivation
to keep pushing forward on my fitness and health routine. The
hardest step to improving my fitness was making that first move
and signing up. I am so proud of myself for the individual I
have become and owe it all to Casey and the other Fitness Boot
Camp instructors. They are there for life and I know that I
will go back soon to continue on my path of reaching both my
goal weight and personal goal of running a half-marathon within
the next year.

I
was at my heaviest just after having my second daughter in 2006
- I weighed 190 pounds, which was very depressing. I started
running to try and lose weight which showed results in the beginning,
but I soon plateaued as I was not consistent with my exercise.
I
was in the habit of taking 6 month's off before getting back
into the gym or running again, so my weight would yo-yo with
the exercise. I also found that running was uninteresting, although
my legs were trained, the rest of my body lacked the all round
exercise that I needed, especially around my mid-section and
arms.
At 140 lbs., late in the fall, I joined Casey's FitnessBootCamp4U;
I had heard that fitness boot camp gave your body a much better
all round workout, including weight/resistance training, cardio,
and lots of abdominal work – it sounded ideal! The first
camp I attended was agony, but with perseverance I began to
see the improvements. The classes were fun. Casey is always
changing the routine's so you never get bored or use to the
same drills. The classes are always challenging whatever level
of fitness you are, you are always being pushed to exceeded
your comfort zone.
I recently finished a half marathon after cross training with
FitnessBootCamp4U and running, I achieved my personal best time,
and I feel FIT, and stronger than ever before. I love the fact
that FitnessBootCamp4U has helped me be consistent with my training,
by going to camp 3 times a week.
Casey's nutritional program has made me much more conscious
of what I am buying and feeding my family and myself, I am more
aware of the importance of nutritional ingredients in foods,
and now look for healthier alternatives. I think being held
accountable of your meals has really helped me stop nibbling
on the kid's cookies! I have lost 10 lbs. and 13.5 total inches
within 3 month's. I am now the weight that I was as a teenager
again!

I
have lost 25lbs. and have been able to keep it off for over

a mother of two small children I decided it was finally time
to lose the “baby weight” once and for all! Casey’s
workout program is like no other I had ever done before. I was
not prepared for such intense workouts, but soon saw the results

Todd: WOW! is a
good place to start. Before beginning with Fitness Boot Camp
4U I had lost about 25 lbs. I have always struggled with my
weight up and down. So here is a quick play by play since starting
with FitnessBootCamp4U.
The
night before I started I got the worst night sleep ever. I was
just thinking about what was going to happen. After day one
it felt like I was wearing my lungs on the outside of my body
but, I did not die so all was ok. I seriously had to talk myself
into coming back to day two. My wife said, “you paid for
it, you’re going!”. I swore I was not coming back
for the second week. After that passed, I swore I was not coming
back after the first month was done. I've been going every month
since I started in late January this year, and I am addicted!
I know this is hard to believe that a 305 lb man can be addicted
to a fitness boot camp. As you can see in the pictures, my body
has changed. I am now down another 67 lbs! This totals 92 lbs
of fat gone and it’s not coming back - thanks to the nutritional
education I’ve received. I am now 238 lbs which is 10
lbs lighter than when I got married 12 years ago.

There
are a few things to remember. I was seriously obese (305
lbs, after 25 lbs down), with back problems, poor knees,
no cardio stamina and I am still alive. Yes, it hurts, but
it is so worth the initial aches and pain. The pain DOES
go away. Casey and the other instructors modify exercises
as needed; just keep moving. The nutrition information is
fabulous! Expect to be held accountable. Lastly, if you
want to lose weight, tone up, and increase your overall
health, for god sake get hooked up with FitnessBootcamp4U.com.
Thank
you to Casey for not giving up on me and pushing me beyond
my comfort zone.

One
night I was on the computer looking up FitnessBootCamp4U, because
I kept reading the flyers at the YMCA with pictures of people
who had participated in that boot camp. My husband read over
my shoulder and said, "If that's what you want to do, I
can support that."
I had finally arrived at a point in my life where I was tired
of feeling unhealthy, as well as just feeling tired and grouchy.
The next week I signed up. After the first session I was hooked.
Being pushed to my limits was something that hadn't happened
to me since I played sports as a teenager. I know this is working
for me because I feel great and have more energy. I've also
lost 14 of the 25 pounds I'm determined to lose. I have learned
how to pay more attention to food labels, portions and how to
make substitutions for healthier recipes. Now, I'm motivated
to maintain what I've worked so hard to achieve with Casey and
John's help. They are both supportive and willing to take the
time to answer questions and make sure exercises are being done
correctly.
I
would definitely recommend FitnessBootCamp4U to anyone looking
to get out of a rut and change up their lifestyle.

I
have always longed to wear my shirts tucked in – but never
could due to the dreaded “muffin-top”. You know
what I am talking about – the flab of tummy that protrudes
over the top of your pants creating a not so flattering profile!
I would buy a bigger size top or loose, flowy tops to hide the
muffin. Well – I am glad to say I can finally wear my
t-shirts tucked in and can wear tighter fitting tops. I really
do not keep track of my weight – but I can tell Casey’s
program is working by the fact that I am leaner and more tone
and that I actually use a belt now! My arms are more toned and
my muffin-top is gone!
Most of my muffin figure came from eating whatever I wanted.
Food has always been my “hobby” – eating out
is a favorite pastime and eating big portions was the norm.
Casey will give you guidelines on how to eat and how much you
should be eating. I have modified my eating habits to what works
for me – keeping in mind what Casey drills into your head
about nutrition. I am not 100% there, but am happy with my progression
and hope to better my body week by week!
I worked out regularly but needed something challenging and
different than the usual routine I had. Casey’s FitnessBootCamp4U
was the answer! The workouts are challenging and the people
in the camp make it fun! Workouts change weekly, so you don’t
get bored and you will be surprised at how your overall stamina
and strength increase week by week. During a typical class-
you will have cardio drills, strength training and lots and
lots of ab workouts! It can be “painful” at times
– but you will survive and you will feel so good after
you finish! Casey pushes and motivates you to do things you
did not think your body could do!
If you are even considering the idea of signing up for FitnessBootCamp4U
- I would highly encourage it!

I have been with Casey and FitnessBootCamp4U on and off for
three years. I first started because a friend talked me into
it. It was the most difficult exercise program I have ever participated
in. I forced myself to stick with it and follow Casey's diet
plan. When it ended I had lost about 8 pounds, but vowed to
never do that again. You must be crazy to do that to yourself,
right? Well a few months later, even though I continued to go
to the gym, I had gained a few pounds back. I decided to try
it again and had great results.
I have stuck with it because it is the one exercise program
that will always challenge you no matter what your fitness level
is. Casey is constantly changing his workout routine keeping
it fresh. My body has never had a chance to plateau. I strongly
recommend FitnessBootCamp4U to anyone just starting out, someone
who needs a kick start or that person that needs a change in
their routine. It is the best program I have participated in.

FitnessBootCamp4U

a year since my first bootcamp and I am happy to say I have
continued to lose weight and tone because of what Casey has
taught me.
I was crazy enough to go along with my mother when she wanted
to join bootcamp last January. I hate cold weather, sweating
and getting dirty but thought I would be there to support my
mom... so I joined Fitness bootcamp.
Not only did I want to be there for my mom, I was also determined
to get back into the shape I was in before getting married :)
I had been a competitive cheerleader for 15 years so I thought
I could do it no problem. Boy was I wrong!! Not only have I
never been so sore in my life, I was also accountable for what
I ate - which meant my love for diet cokes and Mexican food
had to end.

I

"Y" was offering a special for FitnessBootCamp4U. Not
only was there was a discount for signing up before January 1st,
but also if you signed up a friend. I I thought that maybe this
is what I needed to get my life back on track. I went home and
called my daughter and told her that I had just signed us both
up for the fitness boot camp and that she better not back out
on me because I had already paid. I can still remember our first
class last January – it was the coldest, wettest night.
I decided if I stuck to the meal plan that Casey provided, and
I worked out 3 days a week that I would had to see a difference.
The results in the first month were so amazing I continued with
the boot camp and each month I continued to get amazing results!
Casey not only encourages, but motivates you in a way that if
you make the necessary changes, there is no way to NOT get results.
Being accountable for what you eat was a challenge in the beginning,
but now it is easy and is part of my daily routine. Thanks to

When
I originally signed up for 10 personal training sessions with
Casey, I had no idea how drastically my life would change for
the better. I had previously been exercising at the gym daily
on my own and couldn't understand why I was unable to meet my
fitness goals. One month later and 13 pounds lighter, I have learned
the importance of following a disciplined nutrition plan and challenging
myself during my daily workout sessions. Working with Casey has
completely changed my attitude towards food and nutrition. I am
a busy mother of a kindergartener and a preschooler, and this
is the most rewarding thing I've ever done just for me! My training
sessions with Casey have ended, but I still follow his nutrition
plan and exercise regimen and continue to lose weight and inches
at a steady rate. I have more energy throughout the day and am
so grateful for all of Casey's encouragement and support. He is
a great (and tough!) accountability partner, and I highly encourage
you to contact Casey for information about one-on-one training

had lost some weight last February when I got married by seriously
cutting back on the amount of food I was eating. I was rarely
working out. After seeing a picture of myself from the beginning
of the summer, I thought “UGH, I’ve got to do something
about those arms!” I had gained the weight I had lost for
the wedding and then some.
I decided I needed to stop the whining and crying about my recent
weight gain and do something about it. I started working out at
the YMCA in June where I saw a Fitness Boot Camp testimonial stapled
on the wall. I decided to grab an information sheet and check
it out. A friend of mine from work, Maria, teaches a class. I
talked my sister into joining with me.
I was scared to death about going to my first class. I knew it
would be tough, but really did not know what to expect. It was
definitely the toughest thing I have ever put my body (and mind)
through. Maria pushed me to MY personal limit. She is so incredibly
motivating and never lets me even think about giving up. She has
become my own personal cheerleader!
I am on my 4th month and have lost 20 pounds! I have to say I
am truly addicted. This has been the best thing I have ever done
for ME! I never would have thought I would have been capable of
sticking with it for this long. I never would have thought I was

I finally made a commitment to losing weight in January 2009.
After being frustrated with my weight over the past 5 years, I
finally decided that I had to do something about it. I came across
the FitnessBootCamp4U website and knew that this bootcamp was
exactly what I needed to do. I didn't really believe that I would
ever be 115 pounds again, but Casey told me he could help me get
there. I was terrified to go to that first class, and it was so
hard... but Casey motivated me to continue with the program.
At the end of the first month, I had already lost 9.5 pounds and
my clothes were already too big. After seeing these results, I
decided to continue with the program. I just finished my sixth
month, and am proud to say, "I AM 115 POUNDS AGAIN!!"
Casey
taught me how to eat healthy and keep my body healthy. He has
a wonderful nutritional plan that helped to teach me how to evaluate
the food choices that I make. His nutritional plan is not some
crazy diet to lose weight, and then to gain it all back when you
quit dieting. He teaches you how to eat nutritionally everyday
for the rest of your life! He held me accountable for everything
I ate every day.
The
group setting of FitnessBootCamp4U is fantastic! The other campers
are supportive of each other and motivate each other to meet their
goals. Casey always give everyone his undivided attention and
ensures that you are doing the exercises correctly to prevent
any injuries. He is truly there to help you meet your goals! He
does not give up on any of his boot camp participants. He has
a wonderful way of motivating you. Casey taught me to push myself
to the fullest. I have done things that I never believed were
possible. I have lost 38 pounds and my body fat has decreased
16.6%! In addition to that, I have lost a total of 33 inches!!
Nothing
is impossible with Casey and FitnessBootCamp4U. I would recommend
this boot camp to anyone who wants to lose weight or just stay
in shape. It is hard to have to commit yourself fully, but is
well worth it! I have decided to continue with this program just

I could never thank Casey enough for what he has done for me.

am on my 3rd month and I am TRULY ADDICTED! There is no way that
I could even come close to achieving my goals if it were not for
the HEART, TIME, MOTIVATION and PUSH from Kenneth “Kenny”.
He is by FAR the best instructor that I have worked with; he instructs
from his SOUL.
It
has been amazing to see the difference from when I started to
where I am now. I have always been athletic but truly needed
to shed a few pounds. I am down 10 pounds safely and have lost
inches, and I LOVE muscle memory (big smile).
I
have become friends with the “giant tire” which
was truly my enemy. The workouts are changed around each time
you go so that you are not doing the same thing over and over.
If theres ever a question about an exercise or you're not sure
of the exercise, Kenneth will be sure to demonstrate. He is
very good about critiquing arm and leg placement to make sure
that you are doing your work out correctly and safely.
Thank

In
April 2009 I decided once again I needed an organized fitness
class that incorporated accountability. I signed up for boot camp
and will likely never forget my first class. I was thinking, "why
didn't I watch a class before I enrolled, what am I thinking?
These folks are decades younger than me." I persevered. I
had paid my money and I would see the four week session through
and be thankful if I am alive after each class. The countdown
was on, only 7 more classes, only 6 more classes and so on. During
the last week I began to think that I could keep this up and I
was seeing incredible results. I had lost 10 pounds in four weeks.
By the second four week session, the inches melted away. I lost
more than 10 inches overall and 4 inches disappeared from my waist.
I am about to start my 4th session and in addition to the physical
results the confidence I have found within myself, to push myself
to keep trying each night, is amazing.
Maria holds us all accountable and encourages us to keep pushing.
If you adhere to the program, attend each session and be completely
honest with yourself you will see the results you never dreamed
were possible. All you need to do is try.

After
the birth of our second child, I needed help getting rid of 15
pounds of “baby fat”. My first bootcamp was February
2nd, 2009. It was tough. I wanted to quit after the first day,
but there is NO REFUND and NO QUITTING. I forced myself to hang
in there and get through the 4 week session.
Casey runs a disciplined camp. The exercises are tough and the
nutrition rules are very strict. He told the group class is only
cancelled when thunder and lightning are present. I prayed for
thunder storms the first 2 weeks of camp. I persevered and followed
the nutrition rules religiously.
During the first 4 week session I lost 10 lbs. I joined for a
second session and lost another 10 pounds and weigh less now than
my pre-pregnancy weight. I have lost a total of 20 pounds, and
originally joined to lose 15 pounds. YIPPIE!
Tomorrow I will be starting my 6th session. Funny, at the start
I didn’t think I could get through the first 4 weeks and
here I am, joining for my 6th month. These bootcamps are definitely
the toughest exercise I have ever done. My goals are changing
every session, as I build my strength and endurance. I feel a
sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that I can do anything
if I put my mind to it! I recommend this class to anyone that

my figure, back fat rolls and all! I had even purchased new
clothes to get “fatter” and “grow” into.
As a single mom, full time student and employee, my excuse for
losing control and not working out was lack of time and accountability.
After talking to a friend when I moved to the Katy area, I started
FitnessBootCamp4U in April. I got lots of warning saying it
is hard but worth it.
That first Tuesday 5am morning was the hardest work out I had
ever done. I left there feeling every muscle in my body ache
and screaming, “what the heck was that?!” I was
shocked when in the second week, my clothes started feeling
looser! Then I thought the scale was broken after week 3 saying
I had lost 12 pounds! Here I am 8 weeks into FitnessBootcCamp4U
and have lost 20 pounds, 4.7% body fat, 20 inches all over,
and YES, my back fat is gone!! I look forward to my workouts
now and have made new friends with other boot campers.
I know I could not have ever achieved any results near this
without Casey! He held me accountable for what I was eating
and made sure I was there for boot camp. Now, I do not crave
the junk I used to eat and my “cheat stash” from
the beginning is still sitting uneaten. I feel so much better
now when I’m in public and love being in the pictures
rather than taking them!
I would recommend FitnessBootCamp4U to anyone that feels they
have ANY excuse to not be able to work out or lose weight! Casey
will help you see there is time to fit your schedule, he will
make you pay for what you ate, he will make sure you are pushed
farther, he will show you the way to meet your goals, and he
will support your effort to reach your goals!

The birthday gift to myself in Oct 2007 for my 44th birthday;
the commitment to get fit, lose weight, and improve my overall
quality of life.
Sometimes that is easier said then done. At 5’5”,
203 lbs, it seemed like a truly daunting task, it seemed unattainable.
I can say now that all of the hard work and sacrifice was well
worth it. I feel fantastic, my overall health has improved, my
blood pressure has returned to normal and I look good too. At
least that’s what my husband says.
Due to my dedication to diet and exercise I have lost more then
70 pounds. I went from a size 16 to a size 4. While that transformation
took more then a year, and required a complete lifestyle change,
thanks to Casey and FitnessBootCamp4U, I lost 10% body fat in
the past 8 weeks.
Casey, Holli and Jorge have made exercise fun again. Yes, you
sweat. Yes, it’s hard. Yes, the accomplishment makes you
feel great inside and out.
The boot camp experience has truly changed my life for the better.

100 pounds gone!!! I can’t believe how just a change of
mindset one day led me to my success. I was a junior in high school
when I was dangerously obese weighing 265lbs at 5’8. I had
the worst eating habits, but still my goal was to lose 100 pounds
before my senior year. One of my goals was to lose all the weight
by my senior year which was only 10 months away. I needed all
the professional help I could get, so that’s when I made
the decision to join FitnessBootCamp4u. The camp totally jump-started
my fitness activity to a higher level. As a beginner I knew it
was going to be tough in the beginning to get in shape, but with
the help of Casey and Jonathan I knew it could be done. Since
I really didn’t know much about healthy eating, the meal
plan I was given was helping me shred fat and inches in just weeks!
The trainers at FitnessBootCamp4u also taught me the importance
of keeping a positive attitude when striving for my goals. They
helped take all of those negative thoughts out of my head like
the “I don’t think I can", or "this is just
too hard.” I got rid of those negative thoughts and next
thing you know I lost 14lbs in just 4 weeks! I remember when people
doubted my 100 pound weight loss goal and tried to make me think
that I could never lose that much weight. But now I can say to
all of those people who doubted me, "I’ve lost 100
pounds!" At FitnessBootCamp4u you will get top notch training
on how to achieve your goals, even if it’s the last couple
of pounds, because sometimes those last few pounds can be the
hardest ones to lose. Motivation is definitely a major key to
any success, and I can’t think of a better place then FitnessBootCamp4u
to help you get started and get you closer to your goal.

Since the mid 90's I have really struggled
to keep active and eat healthy, fluctuating up and down in weight
with no real exercise plan to stick with. Too busy it seems for
any of it. This last August I was at 225 lbs. and clearly overweight
again and frustrated. Then in January this year, I managed to
drop 20 lbs., yet I was struggling and wanted to find something
that would help me find the physical exercise and healthy lifestyle
I wanted. I had a friend who suggested that I try a fitness boot
camp.
I
found Casey at the YMCA and decided to sign-up for 4 weeks of
Fitness Boot Camp 4U, I had no idea what I signed up to do. It
was 5am and I was in horrible shape, 5 minutes later I asked myself
“why did I pay for this?” By the end of the first
hour I had never felt better. I knew I found something special
that would work for me.
I
have tried the gym, treadmill, lifting weights, elliptical trainer
& running for exercise and nothing ever seemed to work for
me. There are a few important factors for me in why boot camp
works… the gym is boring, it’s indoors & not competitive,
a sure failure for me. The Fitness Boot Camp 4U regimen changes
regularly; it is outdoors - and with a group setting, creates
a sense of competition. The most important factor in being successful
at anything is having a good coach and someone who will hold you
accountable. Casey is a great coach and knows accountability.
Over
the past eight weeks I lost 20 lbs. and got my weight down to
185, reduced my body fat by 3% and reduced my waist size by 4
inches. I am in the best condition I have been in for the past
15 years. Casey helped me develop a nutrition plan and the intense
boot camp work outs have allowed me to change dramatically. Eating
a nutritional diet and exercising is what it takes to succeed.
The mental health benefits have been outstanding; I have more
energy, sleep better, feel stronger & feel more confident.
I love going to Fitness Boot Camp 4U with Casey, it is really
hard work but it is the best work you will ever do for yourself.
I
recommend this to all men & women who wan to change there
health and wellbeing, Casey won’t let anyone fail who has
the courage to sign-up and attend class.

Photographs never lie! I knew it was time for a change after looking
at our vacation pictures. My weight had reached a high and I was
feeling horrible on a daily basis. I have been a member of the
YMCA for years but had lost my motivation for my regular exercise
routine. I had seen Casey several times on my way into the gym
and decided I wanted to try his class. I began boot camp in January
and after three months have seen amazing results. I have lost
17 pounds, 5.5 % body fat and 5.5 inches off my waist. My body
composition is the best it has been since I was a teenager. I
feel strong, capable and confident and know I can do anything
if I set my mind to it. Casey and Maria have changed my fitness
level and my life. They are excellent motivators and want to see
everyone succeed. You are accountable for your diet, your physical
performance and your attitude. The group setting does add a competitive
level that pushes you but also adds another level of support from
people that are struggling with the same issues you are. I have
the best group and cannot wait to go to class. This incredible
program is challenging but has been the most rewarding endeavor.
You will see results that are life altering. Failure is not an
option in FitnessBootCamp4U!

Lezlie:
I decided to try Fitness Bootcamp 4 U when I realized my lack
of commitment was my biggest obstacle to weight loss. I found
the motivation I was looking for with Casey & Christy at Fitness
Bootcamp 4 U. The 5am classes gave me an hour 3 times a week to
focus 100% on myself while my husband, 2 year old, and 9 month
old were still sleeping. I received helpful advice and accountability
regarding nutrition and exercise. While Casey & Christy encouraged
me through the bootcamp workouts, I gained confidence in my own
ability to go the extra mile when working out on my own. I learned
to change my focus from doing what I feel like doing to doing
what I know will make my life better. I now enjoy running several
times a week and know that I have the bootcamp workouts to thank
for my improved stamina.

I
have struggled with my weight since I was in Junior High School.
I have tried countless diets and exercise plans, but was never
able to stick to any of them long enough to see real results.
My goal was just to “get skinny” and when that didn’t
happen fast enough, I would just give up. After much prodding
from a friend, I reluctantly signed up for FitnessBootcamp4U.
When I showed up on the first day, I was scared – I was
so out of shape that when I went shopping, I would get winded
just walking from the parking lot to the door. Casey immediately
made me feel better about myself. He didn’t see my size
as a problem, just an obstacle that I needed to overcome. He
wouldn’t let me feel bad about what I could not do. Instead,
he encouraged me and helped me see how much I could do! At the
end of the first month, I had lost 20 pounds, and more importantly,
I found strength in myself that I never knew existed. My body
and my mind had changed – my goal was no longer just to
get skinny, but for the first time in my life, I really wanted
to “get fit.” I have now completed 5 months of BootCamp,
and I’m not finished yet! In November, I will be running
a half marathon – not bad for a girl who struggled to
walk from the parking lot! I’ve already lost 65 pounds,
and have gone from a size 22/24 to a size 12/14. I have no doubt
that I will reach my goal of losing at least 100 pounds. I know
that my life has forever changed, thanks to Casey and Fitness
Bootcamp. And, if I can do this – anyone can!

I
have been an athlete all my life. I was a cross country and
track runner in high school and college. I continued, with exercise
thru the birth of my children and stayed in shape. Ten years
ago, I lost my mom to cancer and also lost my desire to exercise
and take care of myself. After so long of being out of shape
and not eating right, you forget how to do it. Casey and Chris
and the boot camps helped me get back on track. I forgot how
great or ( as Casey likes to say, 'FANTASTIC') it is to feel
strong and healthy again. They really have enriched my life
and helped make me to become a stronger person both mentally
and physically. I have become addicted to the training and workouts.
Last
March when I started boot camp I was 165 pounds at 5 feet tall
and wore a size 12. Now I am 130 pounds and am in a size 6.
Casey, at the beginning of boot camp asks what your goals are
and I have achieved one of my goals, by getting back into a
size 6.. Without Casey and his team I don't know if I would
have met these goals in 4 months. They motivate you, as well
as create a meal plan for you to follow. I think anyone having
a hard time getting motivated should try boot camp; it is tough!
I don't think I have worked this hard since I ran in college,
but it makes you a better person inside and out.

I
started Casey's boot camp as support for my friend. After the
first month she quit, but I was hooked. I was an athlete earlier
in my life, but hadn't exercised consistently for over 20 years.
Training with Casey and Maria has been amazing. Their no-nonsense
approach and instruction has changed my view of fitness. I no
longer sit around and talk about exercising, but I actually get
up and do it. I am currently training for my first half marathon
and planning to do a triathlon in the near future. I am even reading
exercise magazines and trying different exercises. I have loved
being in Boot camp with Maria. When I started boot camp, I weighed
205 lbs and wore size 16/18. I have lost over 30lbs and now wear
size 8/10. My new goal is to obtain six pack abs and amazing arms.
I have never experienced someone so committed to helping others
get fit. I have made great strides and great friends. THANK YOU

the age of 40 I found myself 30pounds over weight and unhappy
with my personal apperance and fitness level. The years of bad
eatng habits,sitting in front of a computer during the day and
the television at night had take a toll on my health. Having
kids later in life, I knew I needed a life styl change if I
expected to see my kid's graduate college and one day have a
family of their own. At my wife's encouragement, I reluctantly
enrolled in Casey Castro's FitnessBootCamp4U! program. Casey
provided the support and encouragement I needed to make a change
in my life. I have now completed Casey's bootcamp twice and
I am 27 pounds lighter, and my energy level remains high through
out the day. I am self motivated to continue a healthy lifestyle.

I
had gained weight and gotten out of shape after a foot injury
and needed something more motivating than just going out for a
run. Also, I wanted to make sure that I was doing what I could
to keep myself healthy as I enter my 50’s in a couple of
years. I was inspired by the success of my wife Maria, who has
been a participant in Casey’s Boot camps for over a year
and is now becoming certified as one of his instructors. She looks
fantastic and loves the motivation and group camaraderie that
develops with a class. I started taking Maria’s classes
two nights a week and participate with her on Saturday mornings
and this has become a very important part of my lifestyle. Since
beginning Boot Camp, I have lost 16 lbs. and 7 inches in my waistline
and feel stronger and fit. There is such a high level of fitness
that can be achieved through dedicated attendance at these classes
that is so much better than self direction at your local gym.
If you follow Casey’s advice on eating habits and nutrition,
along with class participation, you will see dramatic effects
in your body and experience a positive boost in your mind and
spirit! Great job Casey and Maria!

FitnessBootCamp4U has changed my life forever. There is no way
I am ever going back to being so unhealthy! Boot camp is tough
but is well worth it. Not only do I enjoy working out now but
Casey has taught me to make better choices with food. I was a
fast food junkie when I signed up 4 months ago. I have not had
any junk food and I don't miss it at all. Casey really pushes
me hard to do my best and never give up but he is also very supportive.
I still have a lot of work to do but the hard part is over, I

As
a child I was always overweight, then at 17 I started working
out and got into shape. By the time I was 25 I had lost my motivation
to keep in shape and by 28 I was just plain unhappy with the way
I looked. I thought boot camp would never be for me, I took the
class on Friday (leg day) and it changed my life forever. It was
the hardest hour of my life and it made me feel incredible. I
wanted to give up many times during that hour but Casey kept pushing
me and when he says "pain is just a weakness leaving your
body" that is 100% right. Since being in boot camp over the
last four months I wake up every day feeling better than I ever
had before. Casey teaches you self discipline and small things
to change in your routine which will benefit you more than you
can imagine. I would recommend this camp to anyone who is unhappy
with their body or their self confidence. I will not lie it is
the hardest workouts you will ever do but as you progress it builds
you up both mentally and physically. As of today I have lost almost
40lbs and I feel better than I ever had and I want to thank Casey
and the training staff for helping me exceed my goals.
Kate:
I grew up playing various sports and was in relatively good shape
without having to actually go to the gym and work out. After having
two children I had a lingering 40 pounds that didn't just magically
go away! After trying to ignore it for a few years I finally got
sick of being unhappy with my body and decided to do something
about it. Signing up for Casey's boot camp was one of the best
choices I have ever made. I knew some intense workouts were coming,
but boot camp was more than just exercise. Casey and Christy also
gave me information on eating that seems like common sense now.
Having accountability to someone for what I ate and for being
at the workouts was exactly what I needed to jump start my healthy
new life! It was nice to get rid of that extra baby weight, but
even better to feel so strong, healthy, and energized! |
