WHY WE CREATED BEST BODY BOOTCAMP

We are Roger and Daniela Nahas, The Creators and Founders of Best Body Bootcamp. 

Our Mission is to educate, motivate & lead people to live healthy, balanced lives in which they enjoy daily physical activity, an organic, natural, healthy diet, good quality refreshing sleep and quiet meditative time.
 

As personal trainers we loved the idea of playing an integral role in helping our clients transform their bodies and ultimately their lives. Being in the fitness industry for a decade we realized that the focus of the traditional gym was no longer on what the client needed but rather how much money could be squeezed out of the client by selling them anything they would buy, whether they needed it or not.  We became disillusioned with the industry as a whole and in the Spring of 2007, we decided to create Best Body Bootcamp.

We had 3 goals in mind when we created Best Body Bootcamp:

1.  To create a program that would make quality personal training more affordable and more accessible to as many people as possible.
2.  To get people out of the gym and outside enjoying the beauty of our neighbourhood parks
3.  To make fitness FUN again.

We knew we were on to something when our very first Bootcamp sold out and we had people booking in advance for the second Bootcamp.

We had people calling us asking us when we were going to be moving into their neighbourhood park because their friends had participated in one of our Bootcamps and were raving about what a fun, effective workout they were getting with us. So we decided to grow and hire the best trainers.

Why our Instructors Care More

Trainers at a tradition gym are paid a very small hourly rate and therefore aren’t invested in going that extra mile for their client. We knew for sure that we only wanted to hire trainers who were passionate like us and who were committed to delivering an outstanding, fun, fitness experience.  We created a compensation package that directly tied the trainers pay to how well they instructed the class and to the experience they were providing.

As such, all of our “instructors” are much more than just ‘employees’. They share in the responsibility of creating an amazing experience for their bootcampers and are compensated via profit sharing.

In addition to our strict hiring policies and our rigourous and ongoing training, we ensure all our trainers are certified by a nationally recognized certifying body, and/or have a related University or College Degree, are CPR and First Aid certified, and are fully insured. We also continually get feedback from our bootcampers and have every one of our locations secret shopped to ensure that everyone has the same outstanding experience

Our Core Values

As we continue to grow we strive to ensure that everyone in our organization adheres to our core values
Our three core values are:

1.  Fit/Healthy: I eat and exercise in a manner consistent with our own teachings, which means staying active, eating organically and healthfully, and getting sleep and rest.
2.  Balance: I love what I'm doing when I'm doing it.  I passionately ensure that I live a life in which I engage fully at work, I exercise regularly, I play enthusiastically and find restful time for myself.
3.  Team: I work in the best interests of the team even when I'm working individually.  I enjoy collaborating to see projects through to completion.  I find joy in the sharing of ideas and success.  I recognize that I win when the team wins.
4.  Confidence: I know that I can voice my opinions and provide feedback, knowing that I will be heard.  I understand and appreciate the value that I bring and the value that others on the team bring.  I continue to educate myself and seek out other options and opinions so that I can be seen as a trustworthy resource.
5.  Commitment: I believe that success comes when you 're willing to roll up your sleeves and do what needs to be done, when it needs to be done.  I will do the extra to ensure that the customer and the company achieve their objectives.  I appreciate the reward of producing results.  I do what I say I will do, and then some.
6.  Respect: I see myself and others as equals.  I acknowledge that I have the right and responsibility to make positive contributions while recognizing my role in the organization.
7.  Knowledge: I am constantly learning what is necessary to accomplish what I set out to do and to maximize enjoyment of life. It is important for me to be knowledgeable.
8.  Compassion: I am constantly treating all others as I wish to be treated myself.  I am working tirelessly to treat everybody, without exception, with absolute justice, equity and respect.
9.  Success: I acknowledge that success is achieved when I have money in the bank, when I am proud of my company and when I am happy with my personal and family life.

By adhering to our core values, we create an experience for our bootcampers that will allow them to

LOOK AMAZING, FEEL GREAT & HAVE A BLAST

We, and all the other bootcampers who are so happy they made the decision you are about to, look forward to seeing you at our next bootcamp
