What is Fitness Revolution, and What Does It Have To Do With Me?

Just wanted to update you all on some news that we at Get Fit NH Bootcamp are very excited about!

You may have seen a press release in the last couple days that talks about Nancy and I signing on as franchisees with Fitness Revolution, and a number of you have asked us what it’s all about.

First and foremost I assure you that Nancy and I (or CJ and Erin) are not going anywhere. All the things that make Get Fit NH Bootcamp what it is will remain intact – a fun, supportive atmosphere, top notch coaching, an integrative training system designed to keep your body healthy and get results, and especially the best thing of all – our fantastic clients.

In fact the primary reason we agreed to sign on as franchisees is for the opportunity to join with some of the best minds in the fitness industry, in order to keep getting even better results for you our clients. We also have been brought on as regional coaches for the franchise, allowing us to share all that Get Fit NH Bootcamp goodness with the rest of the country!

We are grateful for the opportunity to serve our clients as Get Fit NH Bootcamp, and as a member of Fitness Revolution that will continue. Another reason we decided to sign on as franchisees is because within our industry “bootcamp” is becoming a very generic term that means a lot of different things – and a lot of them aren’t necessarily optimal.

When we first started Get Fit NH Bootcamp there were very few fitness programs in the country calling themselves a “bootcamp” and from the very start we differentiated ourselves. More than just “getting down and give me twenty”, our integrative training approach addresses more than just cardio with a few pushups thrown in.

Flexibility, mobility, joint health and postural awareness are critical parts of the fitness equation that are rarely addressed.  Injury prevention is huge, as we seek to keep our clients active  – “if you are injured you can’t train” – is a familiar refrain.

The way we actually train our clients is what we call “group personal training” – Not an instructor up in front of the class, but coaches down on the floor, instructing, correcting, encouraging and yes, pushing a little when necessary to make sure our training is safe and effective.

We feel that identifying ourselves solely as “bootcamp” does a disservice to who and what we actually are. As we have seen dozens of bootcamps spring up, we wanted to be proactive and begin that process of differentiating ourselves. Because Fitness Revolution has this “coach based” training philosophy, and because we know the caliber and character of those involved, to us it was a win-win.

So there you go.

Get Fit NH Bootcamp – a proud member of the Fitness Revolution nation!

Keep Making It Happen,

Coach Dean

“I had the privilege of going to Get Fit NH for most of my second pregnancy. Staying active and being healthy was VERY important to me because I wanted to be able to be able to keep up with my two year old and all my other responsibilities without being in pain at the end of the day.

Nancy was awesome about keeping tabs on me throughout the workouts and making sure that I didn’t do anything that would compromise my health or the baby. My labor and delivery was an hour from start to finish. My body was in great shape for delivering a baby!

It’s important to have someone who can make sure you are doing a workout that is safe for you and your baby and Get Fit NH is suited perfectly to the needs of a pregnant mom!” – Katie Uy

Thanks Katie, and congratulations to you and Andre!

Meet Dexter!

Welcome Back Meghan

Meghan, from the 6pm crew, is back this week after her six week break when Dexter was born.

Here’s what Meghan had to say about how training at Get Fit NH Bootcamp kept her healthy during her pregnancy, made for an easier delivery, and kept her at an ideal weight throughout her pregnancy (and apparently afterward :)

“Not only has bootcamp helped me to maintain a healthy weight throughout pregnancy but it also enable me to have a quick and easy delivery. I have no stretch marks, I fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans (yes, many of us are groaning right now – Coach Nancy) And I have a happy healthy baby! Thank-you Dean and Nancy”

Congratulations Meghan and Mike, and welcome Dexter!

Award Winning Fitness Bootcamp Announces “Sizzlin’ Summer Slimdown 2011″

Get Fit NH Bootcamp, awarded “Best Gym in Concord” in 2010, is excited to announce the start of Sizzlin’ Summer Slimdown 2011 (S32). Last years “Sizzlin’ Summer Slimdown” winner Melissa Tyler lost 10.9% of her bodyweight and took home a prize package worth over $1000. We are looking forward to seeing the amazing transformation of the winner of S32!

Everybody knows that it’s difficult to find the motivation to both get and stay in shape. Friendly competition is a powerful incentive to push people to achieve things far beyond their wildest fitness aspirations. Nancy Carlson, co-owner of Get Fit NH Bootcamp says “It’s great to get a group of motivated people together to work diligently to achieve something extraordinary. Entering the Sizzlin’ Summer Slimdown contest essentially puts you in a position for success. The built-in social support and accountability plus coaches who really know how to help you succeed keeps you focused on the task at hand. People love to win stuff! Nothing beats a little extra incentive to keep your eyes on the prize.

Besides just seeing who loses the most weight, the Sizzlin’ Summer Slimdown awards participants for actions taken toward their ultimate goal. The coaches at Get Fit NH Bootcamp know the clients who progress most quickly have common traits; they are accountable to their goals, to their training, and to their nutrition plan. The contests top prize will go to the participant who proves best at staying focused on those tasks.

Get Fit NH Bootcamp loves giving things away and recognizing client achievement. Nancy claims: “A transformation contest provides that extra incentive that many people need to push out of their comfort zone to finally make the complete commitment to change their bodies, and to change their lives. The fact of the matter is that the group as a whole achieves better results than they would have without the friendly competition that constantly pushed them to get better. And that’s what it’s all about – a total team effort to achieve one objective!”

The Sizzlin’ Summer Slimdown’s total contest package is offering over $1,000 in prizes. The contest period will run 8 weeks, from March 14th 2011 to May 6th, 2011.

Keep up the great work Jim!

Lesa sees incredible progress in only 3 weeks!

Good Morning,

Thank you, thank you, thank you!  When I started this program nearly 3 weeks ago I never would have imagined the results that I would see so soon!  This is the best thing I have done for myself. I have always put everyone else in my life first and have never really taken the time that I need.  Now that my children are older and don’t really need mom around as much :(   I have set a goal to be in the best physical shape that I have ever been in by time I am 40.  (I turn the Big 40 in September!)   This program is just what I need to achieve this goal.  I am not a runner, but would like to start training to possibly participate in some of the road races that may be held locally.  (I don’t think I am ready for the Warrior Dash quite yet!) lol

Again, thank you for all that you do.  This is an awesome program that I brag about to all my friends!

See you tonight!

Lesa

Thank-you for choosing to train with us Lesa!
