This is soooo important. You must kick you boot campers ass in a different way every time with combinations and exercises that they have never seen before. One of my favorite lines when I walk into my camp is this, "Hey ladies, I couldn't wait to get here today because I have an attitude problem and a lot of damn energy." Immediate response, "Ohhhh noooo!" Then I kick there ass and they tell me they don't like me...and then they show up with a friend the next day. It's happens to be the most beautiful love-hate relationship ever established. Thanks for the great content Steve. Donovan "DFitnessguy" Owens Steve,

Now through these sites I'm seeing Personal Trainers in England, Denmark, Sweden. That's awesome, hope you guys are killing it over there. (btw Ajax Amsterdam is #1) Steve, awesome post as usual - great reminder to keep the bootcamp sessions intense - Fitness Business Summit is gonna be CRAZY.

But in bootcamp, they are getting a personal trainer with more experience and skills on getting fat loss and fitness. As far as I see it, you've gotta use those PT skills and mix them in a BC environment so that you're effective but cannot be compared to your poorer cousin in the aerobics studio. Like Daniels comment about beingthe anti gym guy, that's one to use for sure. Laters <a href="http://www.thebodyplanner.com" rel="nofollow">Mike Bach</a> Nice post brother,

I had one of my brand new bootcampers go back to her mat pilates class at the gym (19/mo) and grab two of her friends to come workout with her tonight. She wore one of those calorie counters during her workout at pilates, and burned 120 calories. She wore it during a 50 min bootcamp and burned almost 700! (Don't know how accurate that is, but who cares!) This blog is the shiznit, and I can't wait for May 2! ~ The Lukester Steve, freakin’ awesome!

I totally agree with you on that. I already pride myself on not being the "typical" trainer and when I run my boot camps I make sure to throw the craziest shit at them. Hell I have a policy where if they ain't cursing me out half way through then I havn't done by job. Hey Steve
