Testimonials

“Before Melrose Boot Camp (MBC), my exercise routine consisted of walking my dog. I wanted to improve my fitness, so I tried to run with her. I could not do it!! She was way too fast, and I had to stop only after a few minutes. So I gave up on that idea. Then one of my friends suggested we try MBC. I wasn’t expecting anything from the program other than just another way to get my daily workout in, but I can honestly say I my fitness has improved sooooo much. MBC always changes around the workouts and is such a fun atmosphere that you actually WANT to get up early in the AM and exercise. I think it has been about 6 months since I’ve started, and now I can run faster than my dog ”

“I LOVE MELROSE BOOT CAMP. Waking up at 5:30am is tough but Joy makes it worth it. My bff and I have gone for the past 4 or 5 months and I look forward to a different routine everyday. I even think it has turned us into Melrose townies a bit. I would definitely tell anyone who likes to do their routine outside, have fun, and have it be different every time to contact them. It’s GREAT!”

“Boot camp has really inspired us to get out and get involved. It’s funny, we were even talking about how much we missed it while we were on vacation. It’s easy to get excited about it when you make it so much fun to be a part of. ”

“Just wanted to give you a quick email that after 2 days……I can already tell I love your bootcamp.
I have done a couple others before……you are very organized, encouraging, and run a great class.
You will probably see me for many more sessions to come.”

“I just wanted to thank you so much for my first MBC session! I loved it so much, and I just wanted you to know that. I think that the effort you put into making every class new and different, and sending emails to inspire us, and making people feel comfortable with and proud of what they do is so great! I was nervous about joining, but I shouldn’t have been – everyone was awesome, and I have noticed a difference so quickly. I am even getting into running because now I know I can do it.”

“Just wanted to let you know that today’s work out was amazing! What a way to start the day. I really enjoyed the location. The birds, the water, beautiful sunny blue sky. I feel bad for anyone that wasn’t us today.”

“I truly enjoy the program. I like the camaraderie, having the exercise behind me and the variety. I also enjoy the inspiring e-mails especially when they mention the nutritional piece of losing or maintaining a healthy weight. ”

“I still can’t believe some of the things I’ve done since I started, things that if I saw on paper, I never would have thought I was capable of or probably ever attempted — getting up at 4:45 was only the beginning! I’m so thankful that I made the leap!!! I hope that you get to hear this sort of stuff from all your boot campers, because you deserve to know how great you are and how much it means to people!”

“Thank you. You have changed my whole outlook on working out and making myself healthier.”

“You and your sneaky little tricks are solely responsible for my athletic transformation and I hold you fully responsible ”

“Thank you! Thank You! Thank You! I am sore, but in good mind shape…I am not sure if I had to wait till August if I would have come…I have put this off for months. This is a great group…the people are very motivating and supportive. I am really excited for much more pain and results….. (Who would have ever thought I would be saying that)”

“It is a group of fun and enthusiastic people. The whole experience has been very fun for me so far. I put off joining for so long because the name of it intimidated me and now I really like the atmosphere and feel good about what I accomplish there. The emails you send are very encouraging as well. A sincere Thank you to you and everyone else involved in coordinating the program.”

“Thanks for all the thought and work you put into boot camp. You make it a pleasure….and thanks for all of your individual attention.”

“I really like the unique combination of a great work out that doesn’t interrupt my family’s daily routine. Thanks!”

“Even though I wake up at the crack of dawn – it feels so good to have exercise, lunches and a shower done before the kids wake up – just a few weeks ago I was waking up with them and rushing around! My mornings are so much more organized.”

“I love it. I really look forward to boot camp! You conduct it with such humor that although it’s grueling it actually seems like a good time! I have been thinking about signing up for July as well and am trying to recruit others to join as well! I gotta tell ya- my stomach muscles are sore today and it’s been a really long time since those muscles have been sore! I actually didn’t think I had them anymore….! It feels good!”

“I am trying to push myself to do a little more each time…this has been a great experience for me, it is certainly keeping me focused!”

“The boot camp has been inspirational . . . this morning I woke up and ran up and down my hill several times, something I could not have down a few months ago. GO MBC!!”

“It was great! I had a blast!”

“I just wanted you both to know that this has been one of the most positive and rewarding things I’ve ever done in my life. You are amazing leaders and, motivators but more than that, you are wonderful friends. I’ve gained so much in the time I’ve spent with you both.”

“Thanks, it was fun! I couldn’t believe how fast my heart was beating in just the first few minutes and how out of breath I was too. I’m looking forward to Wednesday.”

“It was a great session of boot camp and you guys really made a super team!!! It is amazing how this group activity was so individualized and personalized. Thanks for your positive energy, enthusiasm and personal touches that made getting up at 5 am so fulfilling and almost even fun!!”

“I really enjoy the program! I have more energy and less stress already. You all do a great job and I could not be happier.”

“On a non boot camp morning I go through my routine without even as much as a chuckle. On a boot camp morning I’m laughing out loud by 5:15 and it sets the tone for my entire day. I’m so glad I found you guys. Thanks for everything!”

“I really love boot camp. Looking forward to the great outdoors Wednesday!”

“I very much enjoyed Boot camp and am looking forward to future sessions! You guys were terrific – motivating in a playful, fun way. Thank you!”

“WOW! Life is GOOD!! So glad I picked up the phone last year when I read your People feature in the Melrose Free Press and joined MBC!! I am finding sides of me I never thought existed or felt could ever be possible in me ”

“I wanted to let you know that I completed my first three mile run in (4) years on Sunday. I felt pretty strong and probably could have done more but didn’t want to push it. I owe it all to MBC…..Thanks so much to you and Dana.”

“I feel fantastic…I love it…not really sore, I just feel my body more. I feel like I’m making some improvements and I have a lot more energy throughout the day. I never really thought I’d want to run, but after a few more weeks I may want to try! Thanks a lot. This has been fantastic!”

“It’s just awesome getting a good workout in and not having it interrupt my day, and I am having fun. Everyone seems really nice and that keeps the mood light.”

“I’m enjoying every minute of boot camp! I’m not a big socializer at 5am (haha) but it’s been so great so far. I’ve noticed a difference in my body as well as my energy level. You sure have a funny and energetic group. It takes a dedicated person to participate and lead this program!”
