OUR BOOTCAMPERS

Do I have to already be fit to join Best Body Bootcamp?

Men & Women of all fitness levels are welcome to join the Best Body Bootcamp. We are here to support you and to ensure that everyone feels they are part of the team. Our initial assessment will allow us to gauge your fitness level and customize your exercise program to ensure each and every workout is challenging and safe. The instructors will show variations of most of the exercises to make sure that you are always pushing yourself, but within your own level of fitness. As the program progresses and you build strength you may find that you are able to move on to more difficult variations and level of intensity. Members are encouraged to listen to their bodies and work at their personal level and pace, allowing even members with minor injuries to participate.

GIMME ALL THE DETAILS!

What do I need to bring with me?

You will need a medium strength resistance band and a yoga mat, which you can purchase directly from us. You will also need to wear comfortable workout gear and appropriate running shoes. We strongly recommend that you bring a water bottle and a small towel.

What does the initial assessment include?

You will record your measurements so that you can track where you have lost inches and gained muscle. We have steered away from weight and body fat percentages because they are usually not true measure of your results and tend to discourage many people. We stress that numbers are not as important as your improved energy levels, strength, confidence and overall health are much more important! You will also be put through a fit test, made up of several timed exercises, which you will record so you have something tangible to measure your improvement by the end of the four weeks..

What is a typical day like at Best Body Bootcamp?

* Every day is different. So you never know what to expect and you never get bored of the same routine. Major muscle groups are divided up: one day of the week the main focus is legs, and on the other two days we divide up upper body muscles. Each day incorporates a cardiovascular component to get your heart rate up, as well as a focus on the core and abdominals. * Our workouts Think Outside the Gym of your typical and sometimes tedious routine. Each day is challenging in a different way, so come prepared to have fun and do some serious sweating!

Will I be sore sometimes?

LET’S TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER

What happens if it rains?

Best Body Bootcamp runs rain or shine! hot or cold! So please dress appropriately for the weather (waterproof outerwear, layers for warmth/cool, hat, gloves, etc…).

But what if it’s REALLY raining?

If the rain is extremely heavy, in conjunction with lightning which may threaten bodily harm, we will make the call to cancel class and set up an alternate make up class. This make-up class will most likely be held on the adjacent Tuesday or Thursday of that week.

How will I know if the class is cancelled??

The decision to cancel class will not happen until at least a half hour prior to the start of class, due to the unpredictability of the weather. You will be contacted by your instructor via email or phone with any changes or cancellations on the date of the session. Any cancellations will also be posted on our facebook page. GENERAL POLICIES

CHANGES TO BOOTCAMP SCHEDULE

Is there a minimum number required to hold the class??

On the rare occasion that the minimum requirement is not met by noon on the Friday prior to the session start date, we may have to cancel that class. Should this occur, every effort will be made to accommodate the registrants in another timeslot or location. If a satisfactory resolution cannot be made, a refund will be promptly issued.

What happens if Bootcamp falls on a holiday?

In the event that one of your regularly scheduled classes falls on a statutory holiday, the class will not be held on that date. An alternate make up date will be arranged prior to the start of the session, of which you will be notified of via email. The general rule is that it will happen on the day adjacent to the holiday.

Do you ever have to change locations? ?

On rare occasions, due to circumstance beyond our control, we may have to change the location of your session with very little notice (garbage strike, structural damage, permit conflicts, etc…) We will do everything in our power to find an alternate location in close proximity to the original location and notification will be made via email and phone notifications. We will not issue any refunds based on location changes within 5km.
