I saw the signs in my neighborhood in Fallbrook and decided to give N-10sive Boot Camp a try. I’ve been coming now for six weeks, and I’m amazed at the changes I’ve noticed — some even within the first two weeks.  I was working out at a gym — always the same old routine, but I didn’t feel like I gained anything. This is different. Working with other people challenges you. I feel i’ve doubled my gym workout. My clothes are fitting looser, and I’ve gained muscle. Before I didn’t feel I could run or jump rope. Now I’m running two and a half miles and jumping rope for five minutes! I wanted to be a spokesperson for Steve’s boot camps because I have benefited so much. You’re not just in and out here. Steve is always available and calls us to check on how we’re doing.  I’ve even brought three of my friends because I believe in it.” -Colette

I saw the signs advertising Steve’s boot camp too. This is actually my third N-10sive Boot Camp. I’m a runner — ran the Lincoln half marathon last year and in 2006. I had been working out with dumbbells in my apartment, and I play sand volleyball, but this is the hardest workout I’ve ever done. I like the commradrie — the friends I’ve made at the boot camp, and that I’m kept accountable. I now have much more endurance and strength and mental toughness. I would recommend it to anyone from beginners to athletes.” -Todd

Although I’ve worked out everyday for the past three years, this is the best workout I’ve done. It’s fun to be pushed. You don’t want the public humiliation of not doing something that others are doing, and it challenges you. I just like it!” -Tigh

Monday, March 23 was my first boot camp. I started running about a year and a half ago and run about ten miles a week, but I needed more strength training and ab work. I was scared to come when Tigh [above] told me about it, but I’ll definitely be back. I see there are all different skill levels, and I can do it. I kind of need to be told what to do. I certainly don’t want to be that one who crawls off in a corner and stops, so that’s a good motivator.” -Nikki
