"I am hooked!!!!! The thought of becoming athletic is such a motivator. I have never pushed my body in this way before and it feels great (mostly that I can do it- I can do it!....I'm still in amazement). If you would have met me 4 months ago you would have not recognized me...I was a workaholic, 10 lbs heavier, that had not seen the gym for 2 years. I have worked so hard the past 3 months and this is exactly what I need to push me to the next level. Thanks again for the motivation and Boot Camp. Your energy is so contagious!!!! Hooah!" - V.

"Joining Start Fitness bootcamp has been the best thing I've done for myself in a long time. Though the exercises are intense, I keep coming back for more. The entire class gets behind you when you need it most and I have never before been so motivated to work out. The staff is highly invested in my athletic advancement and I am always getting awesome support. It is like having a personal trainer. Every day, I walk away knowing that I just did the best thing to start my day. " -CHRIS R.

"Never in my life have I left a workout class feeling so mentally and physically strong, confident, and fit! When I lived in Southern California, I used to take Billy Blanks tai-bo classes. Although I cannot deny it was a great workout, nothing compares to your Boot Camp class...Because you are so incredibly motivating, you can push your classes to the limit, and people want to perform not only for you, but to prove to themselves that they have what it takes to be one of your soldiers. In all my years of workout classes at various gyms throughout the state of California, Boot Camp ranks number one. Thanks for everything...I'm now addicted to Boot Camp!" - MEGAN P.

"I definitely worked out harder and was stronger and in better shape working with Sgt Ken. Sgt Ken has a way about him that motivates you and pushes you in a way that you can't push yourself. His is the best workout I've ever done. I've worked out with trainers and done it all, and with Sgt Ken, I was in the best shape I've ever been in in my entire life." - KAREN K.

"The word 'bootcamp' has a lot of negative images - like yelling and calling people maggots, but Sgt Ken's class is not like that at all! He gets me - how to motivate me - and that's probably true for the other people in his class as well. I've already noticed changes in my body, my stomach already feels tighter and I've only gone a couple times. I was already working out on my own, but wasn't pushing myself hard enough. I absolutely love his energy. I love to go. I love the way I feel when I go. I can tell I have more energy when I go. And it's also great having my workout already done with in the morning. AND I can tell that my metabolism has jumped considerably. Definitely I saw some immediate changes to my body after going to Sgt Ken's bootcamp class." -MARYA S.

“It is his human side that is the difference. The fact that he really seems to enjoy being there and the enthusiasm he can generate helps get people excited about exercise even if they were asleep when they came in.” –-G.S.

“I 'm a Chiropractor and would recommend this Boot Camp class to almost anyone... I feel it is safe. You seem to know just how hard to push each individual as you walk/talk around the class. Your MOTIVATION is incredibly amazing! I have been taking this class for 5 months now and feel it has been time tested. This class has accumulative constructive survival values both physically and mentally! Thanks again.”--R.A.D, DC

"I’m always looking for something new, exciting, and challenging. The first time I took this class, I knew that I had found all those things. Most importantly, the class is constantly changing and taking us to the next level. I’ve been attending this class for two months or so, but I already notice a huge change in my strength level." --LAUREN

"Staying in shape has always been a chore for me. Now I work out regularly with Sergeant Ken. And how did an out-of-shape Twinkie-lover like me do it? Thanks to his enthusiasm, I’m more motivated than ever. I’m seeing results I never imagined and that’s keeping me coming back for me." --LIZ

"My company had signed us up for Corporate Boot Camp. Sgt. Ken pushed us all way beyond what we thought we could accomplish. ..(and) it was the most fun that I've ever had working out. In fact, upon finishing Corporate Boot Camp, I decided to continue working out with Sgt. Ken three days a week." -–PEGGY

"Like a lot of people, I’m just not motivated to get myself in shape. I agreed to let Sergeant Ken help me change my attitude and decided to sign up for a field event. I thought of giving up so many times that day, but the Sergeant seemed to sense it each time. He’d drop back to give me advice and encouragement. I was so glad I didn’t (quit). I felt a great sense of accomplishment after completing the hike. And even though I struggled at times, it really was fun the whole way. And if that doesn’t motivate you to exercise, I don’t know what will." --JESSICA W.

"This is one of the strongest and best local programs that I've come across. The program involves all aspects of fitness: weight training, cardio, stamina, and even spirit building." --JESSICA B.

"Sergeant Ken Weichert has a contagious enthusiasm and positive attitude. He also has a genuine talent with motivating everyone in the class and challenging us to constantly achieve a level beyond what we’d accomplish on our own." -–CARLA B.
