I can honestly say, it was love at first work-out. I've been an loyal Fit body Bootcamp member a few years back (shout-out to West Covina Fit Body Bootcamp). I was in the best shape of my life at that point. Unfortunately, I took a couple years off and decide to join your typical commercial games (24 hour, Planet Fitness, etc.) and found that it wasn't working for me. I would just go in, run on the treadmill for 30 minutes, and sit in the sauna. I've noticed that I started to gain weight and felt quite unhealthy. I kept making excuses due to my busy schedule (I'm a teacher and was going to grad-school full time). So, when I moved to Alhambra, I searched for a boot-camp near me and East Pasadena Fit Body Bootcamp popped up. It was a no-brainer. I signed up to be a member immediately because I knew I was going to LOVE it.
I have nothing but WONDERFUL things to say about this bootcamp. First and foremost, I have to praise the way the staff/members build a sense of community. There are Facebook community pages that provide you with your daily motivation (the staff is on there all time and are responding to any questions/concerns/comments you may have), they encourage you to meet one another during work-outs, every single set ends with a high-five/positive praise, and the coaches are texting you every other day to motivate, encourage or answer any questions you may have. This "community" that they build is different than any other gym or bootcamp I've been to! :)
Finally, let's talk about Coach Jess. You can absolutely tell that she is passionate about what she does. She is down to earth, genuine, and truly cares for every single member that walks through the doors. She is POSITIVE, motivating, and will push you harder than you think you could (in a nice way of course :)). She makes an effort to get to know each of the members and their goals. One thing I definitely appreciate is the fact that she takes the time to monitor every one during their work out and model the correct form so that we are getting the best work out possible.
Thanks, Coach Jess! YOU ARE AWESOME!
I continue to come to better myself, but I STAY because of the community that has been built here at FBBC.
