Question - Why do I have to take the introductory class?

Answer - These classes are two 1-hour lessons that will teach you the basic exercises required to safely participate in our boot camp. We are not teaching you how to use Cybex machines at the local gym. You are getting specific training from our instructors.

EVERYONE who joins our boot camp is required to take the introductory classes. This is for several reasons. The first reason is SAFETY. Peak Fitness Boot Camp uses complex movements and we want to make sure you are able to perform them properly before you join our boot camp.

The second reason is that if you join our boot camp and cannot perform the basic exercises properly, then our trainers will have to spend a majority of the class working with you and will not be able to give proper attention to the other boot campers. This isn't fair to our other participants as our goal is to provide supervision for ALL boot campers.

The final reason is YOU! We know that starting a new activity is not easy. We want you to feel comfortable with the basic exercises and equipment in our facility so that when you start our boot camp, you will not feel overwhelmed or frustrated.

Question - When do the introductory classes take place?

Answer - These classes take place the last 2 Saturdays of every month at 8:30am.

Question - Can I still join if I missed the introductory classes?

Answer - Unfortunately no. You must wait until the next session. Due to our full schedule, there is no time to make up the class and as stated above, the class is required for your safety and the benefit of the other boot camp members.

Question - What do I need to do to get started?

Answer - All you’ll need is a hand towel, a water bottle (we also have bottled water available for $1), running shoes, loose & comfortable clothing, and a great attitude! No need to spend extra money on your own weights or tubing because we supply everything for you!

Question - What’s a typical boot camp session like?

Answer - This is not a cookie cutter workout! We do not repeat any workouts during your 4 week boot camp session. We change the duration, number of exercises and resistance to keep your interest and curiosity levels high in anticipation of the workouts. We start with a dynamic warm up using total body flexibility exercises to prepare your body for the upcoming session. Our boot camp consists of exercises performed at 6 stations which focus on both cardiovascular and strength training and then we finish with stretches to cool the body down. In addition, you will enjoy the combination of personal attention and social interaction that our partner format allows.

Question - I have not exercised in a long time and am looking to get back into shape. Will Peak Fitness Boot Camp be too much for me?

Answer - While it may be challenging for you, we pride ourselves in helping each and every individual complete the bootcamp safely! Our emphasis has always been and always will be getting people fit and healthy as safely as possible. We understand that every individual is different (we have participants from age 17 - 72 in our boot camp!) and will tailor the workouts to fit each scenario. It may take you 4-6 weeks to become acclimated to our format, but you will be successful if you stick with it!

Question - I am recovering from a recent injury. Is Peak Fitness Boot Camp going to be safe for me to participate in?

Answer - We are licensed Physical Therapists and Physical Therapist Assistants. Rehabilitating injured people is what we do for a living! We will find a way for you to complete each exercise safely and progress each individual at their own pace. If we feel it is unsafe for you to participate in our bootcamp, we will be honest with you and recommend either returning to physical therapy or looking into one-on-one training.

Question - What if I physically can’t perform a certain exercise?

Answer - We will give you a modified version of the exercise as an alternative to strengthen your body so that you will be able to progress towards performing the actual movement. Our knowledge as physical therapists gives us the ability to allow you to complete the workout without increasing any pain you may have due to painful joints or limited range of motion. In most cases, people experience a decrease in pain as strength increases and weight decreases!

Question - If I miss a class, am I allowed to make it up?

Answer - We are one of the few boot camps that allow make ups, but only during the week it occurs and only if we have available openings in other classes. For example, if you can't make a Monday class but would like to come on Tuesday instead, that would be ok unless our Tuesday class is full. If you can't make it to another available class by the end of the week, then you forfeit the missed class.
