"Being physically active can be fun and rewarding and you will get more out of life by saying YES to a healthier you"

I have been a Body Buster Fitness member for over a year and a half. I registered in October 2013.

What I like most about the Body Buster Program is the variety that each class has to offer. In the past I have done workouts where I found that my body plateaued but with Body Buster Fitness every class is a challenge (in a good way!) I also love the Trainers Huy, Dan and Travis they are always coming up with new activities to make the classes different and FUN. They know everyone by name, correct you if you should be doing an exercise differently, encourage and challenge you because they know what you are capable of doing.

I do not know exact numbers in weight or inches that I have lost but one thing for sure is I have toned my body overall and maintained my ideal weight.

Initially I had signed up for one full year to Body Buster Fitness programs because I was getting married in a year. It was the perfect timeline for me to get in shape, after I got married I decided to continue with Body Buster because it had become part of my lifestyle. I love how I feel after a class, I love beating personal bests, setting new goals and I love giving something my all.

The Body Buster program has made me feel the fittest I have been in a long time. I have improved in my overall stamina when it comes to my strength, flexibility, speed and endurance. I have doubled my hand weights since I began the class. I started off at 4 lbs weight, even though the class recommendation was 5 lbs (because I did not think I could handle it) I now can comfortably lift 8 lbs. I feel happy and healthy and I have Body Buster to thank for it!

By being a Body Buster Member I have gained overall a healthier lifestyle. I know the importance of working out and eating well and the benefits associated with it. I have also gained confidence while doing the classes with other Body Buster...They see you at your worst at 6AM with bed head, no makeup and sweating like a pig but we all show up, cheer each other on and commit to being fit, at the end of the class you're on a natural high and feel like you can take on the world. 

I feel it is important to lead an active and healthy lifestyle because you can only truly be your best self when those areas are taken care of. When you are being active and strive for a healthier lifestyle all those other aspects just seem to fall into place. You improve your longevity, vitality and your zest for life.

The Body Buster Program is a great place to start if you want to feel and look better about yourself. You do not need prior experience when it comes to exercising the Program and the Trainers will guide you in the right direction to better health and wellness. 

My advice to those who use every excuse in the book NOT to exercise is you only have one life to live and one body to take care of. While you are doing everything but exercising consider the negative effects you are creating for your body not only short term but more importantly long term. Being physically active can be fun and rewarding and you will get more out of life by saying YES to a healthier you instead of NO.

I think back to my first class and having self-doubt in myself after the class was over. However that doubt was also my inspiration and motivation to continuing with the Body Buster program because I did not like having those feelings that I was not able or good enough to do a Bootcamp class and I want to thank the Body Buster Team for encouraging and guiding me every step of the way! 

Thank you for choosing me for “Body Buster Bootcamper of the Program” it is definitely is the cherry on top and has given me new motivation to continue on this journey. 

XO, Karyn

Body Buster Fitness November 2014 Bootcamper of the Program!

"With the fast pace of life, it is often hard to commit yourself to a program like this. To those people I would say there is always time to do something for you"

I joined Body Buster Fitness in February of 2013. When I joined I was at the heaviest weight I had ever been and was so unhappy with my appearance and fitness level. When I joined Body Buster, I had no idea what to expect except what I had seen on TV. I was so happy to meet Dani! She welcomed me to the group and quickly got to know my goals and what obstacles I might face. I have asthma and low back pain and they have not hindered my progress with bootcamp one bit. No matter which instructor is teaching the class, they are always able to help me modify the exercises so that I can complete them comfortably and effectively. There is never-ending encouragement and support from the BBF team. It is so wonderful that Dani checks in from time to time to see how I’m feeling and evaluate if my goals have changed. In addition to fitness support, the instructors also have a wealth of knowledge on nutrition. I always knew that nutrition and exercise lead to a healthier body but was never able to really commit to both of them. Since starting with Body Buster, I have lost 14 pounds and 22 inches! It has been a total body transformation.

 

I continue with the Body Buster program because I feel stronger (I can’t stop flexing in the mirror) and am so much happier. My energy is through the roof and I am learning how to love exercise. I have even joined Team Body Buster for the last two years at the CIBC Run for the Cure. When I started bootcamp, I could barely run 1km, now I can run 5km with ease. Body Buster has become a big part of my life. I attend classes twice a week and really enjoy the variety of exercises we do. No class is ever the same. It is also a really great group of people. My fellow die hard members are a great support system. You can really feel the camaraderie as we push through the last 10 (insert exercise here). Whether its pushups on the ball or burpees, we push each other and, speaking for myself, enjoy every minute of it.

With the fast pace of life, it is often hard to commit yourself to a program like this. To those people I would say there is always time to do something for you. It is as little as two hours a week to focus on yourself and I promise, you will feel so good for doing it. Even sweaty, sore and exhausted, it a great feeling finishing each class. Body Buster has allowed me to re-focus myself and concentrate on my weight loss and fitness goals. I plan to be a Body Buster for many years to come! Thank you BBF team!

Body Buster Fitness Bootcamp - August 2014 Bootcamper of the Program

Jill

"Despite being a member for 2 years, I still feel challenged each class and continue to see results."

This August program marks my 2nd year with Body Buster Fitness.

I like the variety of the classes - no two are the same and there is always something new. I also really appreciate the attention of the trainers - getting that extra push and encouragement during the workout makes all the difference!

I have chosen to continue with the program because I truly enjoy it!  I look forward to the classes each week and working out with those in the class.

I think I am in the best shape I’ve ever been. Despite being a member for 2 years, I still feel challenged each class (thanks Dani!) and continue to see results. The program has motivated me to make other changes in my life as well; I walk everywhere, make healthier food choices, and have never slept so well!

I've played soccer most of my life and it's the way I used to keep fit.  When I stopped playing I struggled to find something new that would interest me long term.  One of my friends suggested the Body Buster program so I signed up for a month to give it a try and haven't looked back.  I am stronger, fitter and more confident than I’ve ever been!

It’s often difficult to fit in time for exercise - I find the Body Buster class times and locations make it very easy for me to attend.  After a long day sometimes the last thing you think you want to do is workout - no matter what my energy level is before class I always feel a sense of accomplishment after knowing I had a great work out, burned a ton of calories, and worked out the stress of the day!

February 2014 Body Buster Fitness Bootcampers of the Program

Linda & Mary

Linda and Mary are what we like to call "Diehard Body Buster Members".

Both ladies have seen major successes in the Body Buster program including huge increases in both their cardiovascular and muscular endurance. What is so great about both Mary and Linda is that they are in this together - and motivate/encourage each other during the process. Their positive attitudes and willingness to have fun while really pushing themselves in the classes is why they are perfect candidates for " Body Buster Bootcampers of the program". 

Rarely do we nominate two people together  - however this awesome pair of ladies were equally deserving. They have come a long way with their fitness since beginning with Body Buster and continue to push past barriers and do better and better every class.

Congrats Mary and Linda on all of your fitness accomplishments in the Body Buster Program. Here is what they have to say:

Linda:

I have been a Body Buster Member for at least 3 years.

What I like most about the Body Buster program is classes are always different.  There is never a repeat of exercises. The instructors are so nice and very helpful with any questions I may have.

I have lost in one year 22 lbs. 

I have chosen to continue with Body Buster because I like the instructors and I like the challenge.

I have a lot more energy.  I feel better about myself because I am exercising. I never thought I could do the exercises that I am doing.  I feel better about myself because my body has changed for the better.

Try it, you'll like it.  Body Buster is great because the instructors will modify any exercise to fit your fitness level.

As you get older, if you want to stay healthy, you'd better make time for exercise.

I've really enjoyed my time going to Body Buster Fitness.  The people are great.  The instructors always try and make the sessions fun.  I always feel good after a workout.

Mary:

We first started with Body Buster Fitness in April 2009. We started with Body Buster Fitness, we had a short sabbatical and returned in 2011.  I use “we” because Linda and I join together, we support each other and have a great time at Body Buster Fitness.

What I like most about Body Buster Fitness program is the ability to work at my own fitness level without feeling the need to compete with the other members (aka Linda).  I enjoy the different routines/exercises from cardio to circuit training, not knowing what to expect week to week.

I did not join Body Buster Fitness to lose weight or inches, I joined to increase my overall well being.

I have continued with Body Buster Fitness because I like how I feel, energized, mentally alert, the program works my entire body.  The trainers/instructors are passionate, engaged, friendly/fun, pushing each member at their own fitness level: teaching us mind over matter, learning how to breathe, changing the way we think about exercise.

In terms of my overall health, I feel as I have achieved and maintained a well balanced lifestyle, by reducing my stress and tension and increasing my strength and endurance level. I really feel good, and as much as I dislike the word exercise, I love going to my Tuesday and Thursday class.

Being a member of Body Buster Fitness has motivated and challenged me to be my personal best. I’ve learned many different fitness tips/stretching/extending my body/limbs, learn proper techniques for various drills and circuits. The thought of exercising makes me cringe, after every class I’m exhausted, but I love how I feel in the morning.  Body Buster Fitness is part of my weekly routine, like picking up/dropping off the kids, grocery shopping, meeting, etc.

I’m always telling my family, friends, co-works…and myself, stop using time as an excuse for not changing/making time for yourself in turn making good healthy choices.

At Body Buster Fitness I feel like I have a personal trainer in a group environment, I’m motivated, challenged and never bored.

Thank you Body Buster Fitness.

"I feel that I have gained strength and endurance that I have not had in many years."

---

I have been a Body Buster Fitness member for about a year and a half.  I joined in July 2012 to try something new, get fit and get outdoors.

The thing I like most about the Body Buster Program is the variety of exercises.  You know you are likely to do squats at some point but the rest changes all the time.  It keeps the workout interesting.

In the past year, I have lost 8 lbs.  The weight took a long time and wasn’t really the part I noticed. I have gone down one, almost two, clothing sizes.  I saw this result faster and it is the one that people around me have noticed and for which they congratulate me.

I have chosen to continue with Body Buster because it is the only thing that I actually keep coming back to.  It may sound kind of funny but I am always well intentioned in my fitness.  With other types of activities, I would always sign up and intend on attending.  But, I could always convince myself to go ‘tomorrow’.  With Body Buster, the instructors have encouraged me to set personal goals and work toward those goals each time I come.  I know that the people I have met at Body Buster will notice if I miss and I look forward to seeing them too.

Since beginning at Body Buster, I have noticed my overall health improve.  I see it in small things like being able to run back to my house for something I have forgotten and not feeling out of breath.  I feel stronger, both physically and mentally.

I feel that I have gained strength and endurance that I have not had in many years.  I have gained new friends who have similar fitness goals as I do.  And, I have gained something that I do each week just for me.

I would tell people who have not taken Body Buster before they need to come and try it.  Everyone needs physical activity and many of us need someone to help us to figure out what activity works best for us.  I would tell people not to be scared off by the assumption that this is a ‘boot camp’ program.  The instructors help you to determine the level that is right for you and will give you challenges or modifications depending on your ability and goals.  Finally, I would say to come and try out Body Buster Fitness because you become part of a group that supports each other.

My advice to everyone who is busy is that the predictability of the Body Buster Program allows you to fit it in to your schedule.  For me, it forces me to NOT schedule meetings or work or other events during that time – my time.  But, if you must attend an event, there is flexibility in the contracts to change the date of a class or two.  With all of this support, there are no excuses NOT to exercise.

One of the best things about Body Buster for me is the accountability.  If I miss a class, I know some one will notice.  This helps to motivate me.  When I feel like I am too tiered to go for my workout, I think about the other people in the group, the instructors, and my goals and it motivates me to go.  Once I get there, I am always glad that I came and kept working towards my fitness goals.  And, the reward at the end of a 7:30pm class is getting to go home, shower, eat something and go to bed!

"I now have my set time for focusing on my health and relaxing from every day stress." & "I am definitely stronger physically and mentally."

Alexandra

I have been a Body Buster member for two years and a half. 

I love that at Body Buster every class is different and you never get bored. I also enjoy training with a group of people where we motivate each other. 

I lost 10 inches. 

I have chosen to continue with Body Buster because I constantly improve my fitness. The instructors are great at motivating me to push myself harder. 

Body Buster has helped me become stronger and meet various fitness goals. The program has especially improved my cardio endurance.  I also feel mentally stronger and ready to meet any challenge. I am more relaxed in my daily life even on the more stressful work days. 

I now have my set time for focusing on my health and relaxing from every day stress. I met a great group of people that help me motivate me to meet new fitness goals.  I have gained a new healthier way of life through exercise and better nutrition. 

Body Buster is for any fitness level because instructors modify the exercises to meet your needs. Even if you are already working out, Body Buster will help you pass any plateau and achieve new goals in a way that other programs will not.

Even though classes are tough sometimes, I love being part of Body Buster program. It has become a way of life for me. When I am away, I cannot wait to get back to challenging myself at Body Buster. 

Cristina 

I started Body Buster Bootcamp because my daughter Alex encouraged me to do so. She inspired me to push myself and get again fit. I've been a Body Buster member only since July 2012, but I feel like I am with BB since ever.

What I like most is that the trainers know how to get the best out of us and to make us a stronger person. I like that every class is different and when we workout in teams. Everyone is so supportive. We are like a family taking care of each other in hard times.

I lost about 5-6 kg and 4-5 cm in all the dimensions.

The Body Buster program makes me feel good about myself. While working out in the class I focus on pushing myself, therefore I forget about all the daily problems. After class I feel rejuvenated, stronger and more energetic. I feel stronger, less sick and whenever I get a cold I get well faster. I am definitely stronger physically and mentally, and I slimmed down and got a great body shape.

I would tell anyone who has not taken this program before that Body Buster will change their life in a positive way, and if they want to lose weight and get healthier, this is the right place to do so. They don't have to worry about starting in a bad body shape or at older age. The trainers give everyone lots of options to be able to adjust to your own fitness level.

I enjoy being a Body Buster member. I can't imagine my life without Body Buster Fitness.
