I love this poem! Thanks for sharing Katrina!
“Dean, You always send us inspirational things,I want to share something that you may have heard, but when my son Kellen started at Bishop Brady High School this was sent to all of us in their newsletter. Kellen graduated in 2000 and to this day this is posted on my refrigerator. Especially since my husband and I are self employed when things seem like they couldn’t go more wrong, I read this and it gives me inspiration. It definitely helps me also in my workout as well, I reached my lowest weight and inches this morning since I started bootcamp in July. Big smile on my face today. Thank you bootcamp!! – Katrina G.”
When things go wrong, as they sometimes well,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest! if you must—but never quit.
Life is queer, with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won if he’d stuck it out;
Stick to your task, though the pace seems slow—
You may succeed with one more blow.
Success is failure turned inside out–
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt–
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when your’re hardest hit–
It’s when things seem worst that YOU MUSTN’T QUIT!!

Ever since Lori walked through the door she has attacked her training with passion and perseverance.
The results so far?
Check it out!
“Build it and they will come”
Seems like such a simple statement.
That’s what the voices said to Kevin Costner in Field of Dreams. Those around him thought he was crazy, but with faith and perseverance he made it happen. I felt like those naysayers. I was so uncomfortable in my own skin and so tired of feeling tired.
Lori after 14 weeks at Get Fit NH - Making It Happen!
But here I am after 14 weeks of Bootcamp down, 16 lbs with a lot of body re-composition! And what has it taken to get me here….perseverance, hard work and a whole lot of faith!! I wish I could say it was easy, but its not. But I can say it has gotten less daunting!! I so look forward to training days at 8:30. I do know that the ladies in my group are a great source of support, encouragement and inspiration.
We all have our “field of dreams ” that we striving toward and with the support of each other and Coach Dean and Coach Erin we are making it happen!!
I think the secrect to success is finding what works best for you. For me, it is the hard work at Bootcamp and staying away from extra carbs and overly processed foods. There is no magic pill to swallow, no magic potion or lotion to use.If you look deep enough you will find that the magic is inside of you and you have to have faith and willingness to do the hard work!! I am still a work in process and have a way to go but I will make it happen!
Thanks Get Fit NH, Coach Dean, Coach Erin and all the ladies at the 8:30 Ladies class in Concord!!

Got this note and pics from Epsom 4:00pm superstar Scott Decker last week. This guy works hard, and it shows! 23 pounds lost in the 16 weeks he has been training, he is totally transforming his body, and the posture is getting better too – well done Scott!
Hi Dean and Nancy,
In addition to being thankful for family and friends this Thanksgiving, I’m also very thankful to you guys for helping me get this 50-year old body back in shape.
Removing the extra carbs from your diet is probably the best advice I could give. I have not felt like I have “denied” myself from eating. Eating “smarter” is the key.
Also, giving 110 % during the workouts is key. Don’t shy away from doing that extra push-up or squat during the timed training routines, and above all don’t be afraid to sweat!!
Hope you don’t mind the “topless” photos.

Dave B. has been a bedrock member of the 6:30am Concord training time since January of this year. He sent me this side-by-side of a picture taken about 6 months before he started with us and now.
I asked Dave this morning how much weight he had lost before he started training with us, and to my surprise he said he was within 5 pounds of his June 2010 weight when he first walked through our doors.
What you are looking at is 40pounds of body re-composition. We did not have the Intelametrix Bodyfat Tester when Dave started with us, but it is very clear in this picture and in person that Dave has lost well over 40 pounds of fat and added significant muscle, and he is not done yet – Pretty Good Start Indeed!
While body composition and weight loss is certainly a significant part of the overall picture of training, there is another huge benefit to regular resistance exercise, and that is the effect on health markers such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, resting heart rate and more. The incredible Linda D. tells us what she found out at her last physical. Keep up the great work Linda! – Coach Dean
Yesterday I had my annual physical, and I felt very ambivalent going in. My recent birthday had a big Zero in it, and my cholesterol, etc. numbers have been getting as bad as the ones on the scale. Still, I have been at Boot Camp faithfully for 6 months (even though that is basically my first regular exercise in 40 years). I just bought smaller jeans, and I know I am a lot stronger than I was.
Results?
My blood pressure is now 126/70. My pulse is down from 80 to 72. My cholesterol numbers are lower than they have been since my kids were born, and my HDL (the good stuff) is so high that I now have “negative risk” for heart disease. And, oh yeah, I have lost 17 pounds, but no height. My doctor announced it was the best he has seen me in 20 years.
I still have a long way to go, but what has really changed is the way I look at it. When I started, I just wanted to lose weight. Then I realized I wanted to get strong. Now, I can taste what it is like to be healthy. I keep working toward better food choices, and this kind of feedback–along with all the friendly support from Dean, Erin, and the great people in my class–makes me believe I will make it happen.

The amazing Carol Hawkins shared with me this morning that she hit her goal, and in the last year she has lost 66 pounds!
If you have not read Carol’s inspirational story about her fight with cancer, click here and prepare to be motivated! (You can also get a sneak peak of what Carol looked like partway through her journey compared to now)
Carol promised me she would share a little bit more about her journey after I posted her pic – so let’s have it Carol! 
Dinner/drinks for 2=$100 (4 times per month=$400); Bootcamp- (16 times per month= $159! You do the math…its a no brainer for this Einstein.
Healthy living, better body, more energy, never boring or mundane, plus an added boost for the mind, body & soul= PRICELESS! When you are done whining about how nothing you do and all the gyms you’ve tried don’t work… Make it Happen with Get Fit NH Bootcamp!!
LOVE IT!
I hate the gym. The gym was always a vicious cycle for me. First, I would commit to going everyday and working out. I would do really well for week one. I’d skip a day on week two. I’d go one day on week three. I needed to see other people by week four. I’d sit at home alone with Ben and Jerry. They would console me at first, but eventually they’d tell me to get my tubby butt off the couch. And then my bank statement would guilt trip me into making something of that $60 a month I’d already spent in my 12-month contract. So back to the gym I went…and the cycle continued.
It’s not that I don’t want to be healthy. I want to be active and fit into pants that don’t stretch. But it was all those machines. There were the endless rows of treadmills, begging me to be a part of the machine. “Be a good little hamster and run on our wheel.” And the outfits. The gym membership machine dictates that you look good while you work out. Perfect hair. Expensive, color-coordinated outfit of awesomeness. And the latest iPod. Oh, and I can tan at the same time too? Because we all know that is real health right there.
It’s all too much for me. I don’t need more guilt and expectations in my life, I’ve got plenty on my own. I don’t want a machine, or to be a part of one. What I need is a community. I need Gretchen and Claudia and Lisa… I need people who will cheer me on. What I need is something new to challenge me everyday. What I need is Nancy (and Dean by proxy).
Thanks guys. You’re stuck with me now.

Right before recovery week Scott received his “I Survived Get Fit NH” gray T- shirt. Scott made a simple comment to the 4pm “Happy Hour” that everyone needs to hear.
“10 Pounds and 1 Pant size”. Short but oh so sweet!
I asked Scott to write down a bit of the story behind his fantastic accomplishment.
“I broke my ankle really bad in a fall from a ladder about 13 years ago and have lost full range of motion in my ankle joint. This has led to bio-mechanical issues in my hip joint which suffers from arthritis today.
However, this has not prevented me from committing to staying fit and active since turning 50 earlier this year.
With the help of Nancy and Get Fit NH Bootcamp, I’ve lost 10 pounds and a pant size in 6 weeks. The workouts and stretching we do at Bootcamp have actually reduced the pain and stiffness in my hip. So don’t let an old injury prevent you from “making it happen.” If I can do it, you can too!” – Scott Decker
Each of our individual goals are met with support at times and difficulties at others. It is the constant day to day activities over the course of time that form habits which lead us to meeting our goals.
Great work Scott. Keep making it happen!
