About Boot Camp

It's the toughest Boot Camp you'll ever love!!!™

Since 1998, SGT Ken of START Fitness has led 5000+ civilians through military inspired fitness Boot Camp. "The fact is, discipline works. People pushed to the point of sweat-streaked exhaustion under the command of a hard-nosed commander get real, visible results" raves the SF Downtown Magazine.
The START Fitness program provides a real life answer to the bottom line question, "How do I get and then stay in shape?"

The philosophy of SGT Ken's Boot Camp is Strength, Stamina and Flexibility. The program combines cardiovascular and strength training exercises in a regimented, five-days-a-week program. All classes are 60 minutes and the program is on-going. The program is complete with a fitness test every six months to measure your progress!
