Workout #18 - Boot Camp
Saturday morning's workout was a 30-minute boot camp class. From reading their blog, I found they are focused on the afterburn effect and tailor their exercises around that philosophy. They do higher intensity, shorter workouts with the idea that you go home and continue to burn calories for hours afterwards.
The building was not impressive at all... when you walk in it's just a small open space with industrial carpeting that has snags and pieces lifting up everywhere. ** They really need workout flooring** They had some dumbbells along one wall and a couple of ropes.
The trainer for the class was nice and in good shape, but not super motivating during the workout.
We started with a warm up of jumping jacks, push ups and burpees. Then we went through a circuit at our own pace for a set time - I think 30min. I can't remember all the exercises, but they were the type that if you push yourself and go at a good pace you can get your heart rate up quickly and get a good workout. I definitely felt like I got a good workout, but there was just something about the environment that I just wasn't feeling.
I love to push myself and workout really hard, but I have to be interested and motivated with the workout... that's why running never works for me. Running is hard enough that I have to push myself, but so stinking boring that I'm grumpy the whole time. That is kinda how I felt with this workout.
I actually really like the boot camp classes at LA Fitness, but the energy level is way better and the instructor is much more motivating - the class is an hour but it goes by quickly.
So the nitty gritty:
You can get a good workout
Short classes
Low energy
The place needs flooring and fun paint
Need a more motivating instructor
Offer meal plans and nutrition
Would I recommend this gym? Na... for the money there are a lot of much better options.
