I love SoCal Fitness Bootcamp. I have been coming for almost 10 years. The best part is being outdoors and the camaraderie of the women. Karen’s a pro who varies her workouts so we never know what’s coming. She does keep track of her exercises and makes sure we always get a thorough workout each week. She also modifies for different health issues. My advice to newcomers is to realize that it will get easier every week and you will see results.

I started Bootcamp 8 years ago after my first daughter was born. I have loved it ever since. Early morning Bootcamp makes me more productive during the day. Thank you Karen for the laughs and kicking my butt each week.

I joined SoCal Fitness Boot Camp because I was looking for an all female workout group where I could get a great workout in but didn’t feel intimidated. The variety of the class is great, you really get a full body workout. Karen works within your limitations but also pushes you to a level that she knows you can manage. The support of the other women in class is incredible, and it is great to have a group of women who keep me accountable to my fitness goals. I have… Read more »

“You got this. Lisa, you can do it!” These two simple phrases are constantly with me. I hear them in my head when exercising at home and I hear them out loud while at camp.

Melissa’s Story

I recently went through a personal change in my life that brought me down. After my life event change, I came face to face with how much weight I had actually gained over the years. I was comfortable in my life style. I was not eating healthy, not spending anytime to care for myself. The problem was that I didn’t know what to do. Mainly, it was that I didn’t have the accountability, discipline and motivation to do anything about it. The other problem is that I don’t like gyms…. Read more »

With So Cal Fitness Boot Camp for Women, I finally got some of the weight loss results I’ve been dreaming of for years! When my girlfriend asked me if I wanted to join a bootcamp class with her, my initial reaction was, “ya right, that sounds like fun!” But, after some convincing, I signed up and proceeded to be challenged and encouraged every single class I attended.

I loved this boot camp!! The instructor (Karen) was amazing – no matter what your exercise level is, she always made you seem equal to all. The results were amazing and they made it fun and a new routine every time you went. They took the time to correct your form so that you were doing it correctly and getting the most benefit from your workout. I would highly recommend this boot camp to anyone who wants to be challenged.
