Frequently Asked Questions??
What if I'm not very physically fit?

Participants will meet every Monday Wednesday and Friday for one hour.
What if I can’t attend three days a week?

What if I’m too busy and don’t have time to come?
Professionally speaking…after working with hundred's of clients over the years I have found that “I don’t have time” really means “I’d like to procrastinate a little longer.” The truth of the matter is that you can make time if you really want to change the way you look and feel. Ask yourself this: I’m I finally ready?
Ok, you make a good point… what do I need to bring?
Just bring an exercise yoga mat and 5lb dumb bells, a water bottle and a sense of adventure! Oh, and make sure NOT to come on an empty stomach. We don’t want you to get light headed during our fun and energizing workouts! We’ll provide all the motivation, and accountability you’ll need.
What can I expect to achieve?
You can expect to drop inches and pounds while becoming more fit and toned. On average you’ll drop 4-8 pounds, 1-2 dress sizes, and 2-5% body fat every 30 days. The program includes exercises designed to firm your butt and thighs, flatten your stomach, reduce body fat and “bloat” and increase confidence.
How is this different than the local health club?
Slim Down my Body Women's Boot Camp is a program designed to get you in the best shape of your life in a fun and motivating atmosphere. Unlike a traditional health club you won’t encounter intimidation, overcrowding, and broken down equipment. And best of all we are the ONLY fitness and weight loss program in the area to offer a “see results or get your money back” guarantee!
What does it cost to join?
As little as $12 a class. You’re investment includes a personalized 30 day meal plan. You can save even more if you decide to go on a long term membership. Did I mention that you’re guaranteed to lose weight and see results. Now how much is that worth to you?
How often can I attend?
The boot camps run three days week, Monday – Friday, rain or shine. We suggest that you attend all three days to see results.
Can I pay per workout or just when I come?
No. The fact of the matter is that you need and want to exercise consistently, right? We’ve found that the second best motivator is knowing that you are consistently paying for your boot camp. The best motivator is knowing that you’re going to have a ton of fun once you get to camp and meet your new friends for another life changing workout!
What is a typical day like at camp?
In one word – FUN! However, since each workout program is intentionally different to alleviate boredom and to give you maximum results in minimum time its difficult to describe a “typical day.” You can expect some light running, resistance training, obstacle courses, core, body weight, and team training. On wild card days, you will hike, crawl, lunge, and have a fun time while burning a ton of fat and meeting new people. It's always an adventure!
How soon will I see results?
Performance improvement can take place in as little as a couple of days. "Visual Improvement" can take from two to four weeks depending on your effort level. It's becoming common to see a camper go down 1-2 dresses sizes within the first 30 days.
What types of people go to camp?
They are people just like you. Whether you have a few vanity pounds to lose or 50 plus pounds you’ll find our boot camp the perfect program to help you achieve your fitness and weight loss goal! We have females attending that are in high school and we have ladies attending in their late sixties so you'll find you'll fit right in regardless of your current fitness level!
Does the camp ever end?
Slim Down my Body Women's Boot Camp is an ongoing program. After all it’s a lifestyle change. You’re welcome to join for a little as one month or stay onboard for the long haul like 85% of our members.

After many attempts at weight loss and very skeptical that anything can help her Cindy was able to find success losing 22 pounds in a few short months at the Women's Only Fitness Boot Camp. Cindy started off at 160 pounds and was only able to do 10 sit-ups and 10 push-ups. Through hard work Cindy was able to work her way up to 30 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. In addition, Cindy trimmed 2 inches off her chest, 5 inches off her waist and 4 inches off her hips for a total of 11 inches. Way to go Cindy!

Wendy's Testimonial
WOW!! BOOT CAMP REALY DOES WORK!! I have paid hundreds of dollars for a personal trainer and was not able to see any results..Boot Camp has given me the boost I need to become the person I know was inside. I have beat so many challeges I thought never possible and my self esteem is rising each day...I look forward to the BEST WORKOUT 3 TIMES A WEEK...When my body hurts I love it because I know I have done a great job! Thanks Chris for helping me get past what I thought was never possible. Wendy Wagner, City of Kitchener
Jenny's Testimonial
Boot camp has been great for me - in the first month I lost 7lbs, 4.5 inches and 2% body fat! The workouts are excellent and Chris always injects some humour to make things lighter. He has taught me how to eat properly. I am not a fitness freak but I have found a love/hate relationship with boot camp - it is hard but fun and it works! Jenny Floyd, Occupation Product Development Manager
Linda's Testimonial
Sincere thanks for guiding me through an amazing transformation! When we first met, I'd gained 40 lbs due to the onset of menopause and because I'd ended a 32-year smoking habit. I'd never exercised a day in my life. No one said it would be easy, but to date, I've trimmed off 17 lbs and 5½ inches, lost the belly fat, and rediscovered my hip bones! I now have strength I never knew was possible and, lo and behold, I have legs I can't help but show off! Chris, I owe it all to you and your never-ending motivation. Linda, City of Kitchener
Sarah's Testimonial
I'd been overweight and unhappy with myself for years when I saw a flyer about a bootcamp in KW and decided to take action to change my life. So it was, that I went to my first bootcamp class with Chris Walker on January 5th, 2009. I weighed in at over 200lbs and huffed and puffed my way through the exercises. I've enjoyed the pace increase from class to class and the resistence training. Above all, I've loved that Chris and his team create an environment where anybody in any shape can feel comfortable and confident making this type of change. Since starting the class, I've found myself to be more centred, balanced and motivated in all aspects of my life. I've more energy for my kids, my work and have even secured a promotion within my organization. With this program I see results that make me actually want to look in the mirror for the first time in about seven years, I've lost over 30 lbs, more than 10 percent body fat and I just feel good about myself. I'm not the size I'd like to be just yet but I can already tell that continuing to come and making this committment to myself that I will get there much more quickly than had I elected to join a gym or try it on my own. Thanks Chris, for my current success and for helping me to attain my goals. Sarah Pelletier, Regional Max Specialist, Kitchener

Terezinha's Testimonial
I've been telling all of my friends and co-workers about boot camp. I've also been showing off my new muscles at every opportunity :) Chris and his team make sure to work you hard and every class is different, so you never get bored. The girls you work out with are a great bunch and keep things exciting. I look good, I feel good. So stop making excuses about why you don’t have the time and try Chris' program, I guarantee you’ll see results. Terezinha Hignett, Kitchener
Lauren's Testimonial
The real lifestyle change happened when I joined Chris for his outdoor womens only bootcamp! Never have I pushed myself so far, and been so proud of what I could accomplish. Logging my daily meals really helped me to see where I had been going off course a bit, and so that was a big eye opener. I met a couple great friends who I hope to stay in touch with too, but the most invigorating part was running the 5km's at the end of the 4 week camp. I couldnt believe the strength and endurance I had built! Prior to joining Chris I could hardly run around in the backyard w the kids and not get winded. Accomplishing that goal made me realize the sky is the limit. I run 3.5km , 1-2 time a week now and love the burst of energy it gives me to kick start my day! Im now down 17lbs, 3% body fat and a total of about 7 inches lost in just over 4 months. Im half way to my goal, but feel like Ive already accomplished more than I ever expected in so many ways. I know I wouldnt have had these results just slugging away at the gym on my own like I had been for years with no drive. Thank you Chris, I've found myself again, and cant wait to come back in August or Sept!!! Lauren M, Kitchener
