When I spoke with Dave from Outright Fitness, my intention was to shoot a video of the bootcamp for his Facebook account. He said "Maybe you should take the class to see what it's like". My first though was that I don't need to be kicked in the head to know it hurts!! I decided to take him up on his offer. After all, he made it in front of two ladies who also were about to take the course. We started with a short run. I was sucking wind already. After that we did a circuit of jumping rope and push ups. I was able to gut that out but it was still early. I'm not sure what the next drill was but it hurt. You lift your body off the ground supported by your toes and elbows. Not so bad UNTIL Dave tells you to lift you right leg off the ground, OK,I survived that!
Nothing I have done prepared my for the next exercise. It was not that hard just long. We paired up and my partner throw a 8 pound muscle ball at me while I was on the ground THEN I had to lean back, raise up and throw it back. That was cool for a minute or so. But then I had to lift one leg, and do the same thing. After lifting the other leg, I had to put my feet together. The finale was a circuit that featured a thick rope that we did a move like the "Double Dutch". More pain but this time all over my body. My out of shape 41 year old body started asking me questions like "WTF", and "Why Are We Here?"
Dave with Outright is a great, motivating type of trainer. He encourages each person based on where they are at. There motto is: Don't be intimidated, we're here to build you up, not break you down!
Not like some "BOOTCAMP" instructors who get a hard on out of making you puke. In fact, he may consider changing the name but I guess "Bootcamp" is what everyone understands.
