Congratulations, Karyn! You're the Body Buster Fitness Feb-March 2015 Bootcamper of the Program!

"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

BOOTCAMPER OF THE PROGRAM

"I have gained new confidence in controlling my overall health, new friendships and Annette and I have gained the ability to be role models for our children."

---

I started attending Body Buster classes in the spring of 2009.  The aspect of the Body Buster program that I like most is that no class is exactly the same as the last.  Each workout (morning or evening) and each instructor is unique.  The instructors bring an individual style and flare to each workout.  I'm never bored during my time working out in a Body Buster class.  I also like the fact that the instructors get to know your strengths and weakness and push you to improve on a personal level. 

Even though I'm in a large group exercise class I feel that the workout is tailored to my abilities by the use of various modifications available in each exercise and how the instructors push me to keep the intensity in my routine.  By participating in the exercise program provided by Body Buster I have been able to maintain my healthy body weight and lose a few extra inches off my waist. 

My wife (Annette) and I have chosen to continue to be Body Buster members because of the flexibility the program, she and I alternate four week program so both of us can benefit from the program as we have a young family and the Body Buster staff have always been accommodating to our special needs.  We also continue to come back to Body Buster because the locations and times of the classes fit well with our busy lives balancing work, kids and personal time.   In terms of overall health, working with the Body Buster program has provided me the ability to regain a level of overall vitality that I had lost since my mid-twenties.  I'm in the best physical shape since then and I know I have the means and ability to maintain and improve my overall health looking to the future. 

I have gained many things from being a Body Buster member.  I have gained new confidence in controlling my overall health, new friendships and Annette and I have gained the ability to be role models for our children on how to maintain a health and active life in this age of sedentary lifestyles. 

Anyone thinking of becoming a new Body Buster member should know that taking part in this program can be life changing.  The Instructors care about your health and progress, there is a very personal touch to their training.  You will see results in your overall strength and endurance, even at the end of only one session and that like anything in life you get out what you put in.  The more you put into your Body Buster experience the more you will get out of it.

2012 Bootcamper Of The Year BootCamp

Congratulations Barb

BOOTCAMPER OF THE YEAR 2012

Barbara

Bootcamper of the YEAR 2012!

---

We would like to congratulate Barbara S. - Bootcamper of the YEAR 2012!

Barb has been with Body Buster since Feb 2011 making her a 2 year Bootcamper this coming February!

Barb not only has made every work out count - but she's done it with such a positive attitude and great spirit.

She proves every single class - that although it is not always easy we all have the ability to "get into our fitness zone" and kick butt!

Although we all want to look good, Barbara has expressed that her main goal is to work out NOW - before she "has to". She has been busting her body at 6am for the past 2 yrs to become stronger & healthier - and that she has.

Our bootcamper of the year is also an avid rower and has been rowing competitively for many years. After using the same muscles in the same ways for a long time, she decided that it would be a good idea to "change things up" and take some Body Buster Classes. And boy, was that a great idea. It was brought to Dani's (her instructor's) attention that she did absolutely AMAZING at her last test and shocked many others with her pace and accomplishments. 

We are so proud of Barb and her accomplishments with her fitness, nutrition and health. Barb has worked her way up to using 10Lb weights in the classes and pushes as hard as she can with every single repetition she does.

Barbara has made Body Buster, good health, good nutrition and well being a part of her life. She is a great role model and proves that with hard work and dedication - it is in fact possible to make positive changes in our body and mind.

Congratulations to Barb, the 2012 BODY BUSTER BOOTCAMPER OF THE YEAR!!

Bootcamper Of The Toronto Boot Camp Fitness Program

Bootcamper Of The Program!

Congratulations Kathleen "I tried several different workout programs before I found Body Buster and knew that this was the right program for me."

I have been a Body Buster member for over two years. The very first program I tried I was hooked on the great feeling I had as a result and have been sticking with it ever since.

Dani is one of the best motivators I have ever worked with. Body Buster seems to make a point of recognizing each individual's strengths and limitations and has worked with me to develop a program that fits my needs and has allowed me to progress. I have really felt the health benefits beyond just weight loss.

I have lost 3 dress sizes.

I have chosen to continue with Body Buster because I have found it to be a great source of motivation to be a healthier me. I have felt the benefits through better diet and eating habits.  Another great benefit was the stress relief it gave me. I was pleasantly surprised at how many benefits I felt at the cost of only one hour out of my day. Having gone through some very strenuous times juggling my full time job and a hectic study schedule and still trying to maintain a reasonable social life, I needed a workout that would not cost me any more time and would maximize the benefits I got. Body Buster delivered. Furthermore, I have met many great people through Body Buster who  provide me with the support and motivation I sometimes need after a stressful day.

My clothes fit me better and I have enjoyed buying a new wardrobe. My stress level is reduced. I have more endurance and as a result I enjoy spending my extra time doing more active things. I have noticed a significant improvement in my strength and flexibility. Overall I feel great inside and out and its All thanks to Body Buster!

I have learned better eating habits and found the motivation to stick to them. I have found it easier to continue on and strive to do better. My confidence level has increased and I find myself able to give advice to others on certain exercises they can do to suit their goals. I feel so much pride when my close friends and family members seek out advice from me regarding what they can do to better their health because they are so impressed with my dedication as well as the progress I have made. Body Buster has taught me that I am capable of far more than I ever gave myself credit for. As a result, I now strive to continue to challenge myself and look forward to reaching and surpassing all the goals I never would have imagined I would set for myself prior to succeeding at Body Buster. 

Everyone needs to do what is right for themselves. I tried several different workout programs before I found Body Buster and knew that this was the right program for me. I would tell anyone interested not to be afraid. Don't talk yourself out of it before you have had the chance to try it. You will like it and you will succeed. The program is geared toward your fitness level and can be adjusted as you become more used to it. Furthermore, you will meet so many great people who will provide you with the support and motivation you may need to become a healthier you.

At first I was attracted to the idea of Body Buster for the outdoors experience of it. It was an opportunity to gather with others while working outside enjoying the environment. I then found once the weather was no longer conducive to doing sit-ups in High Park, I was not looking forward to missing out on the fun, so I checked out what the indoor sessions were like and found that I enjoyed them just as much. Year round Body Buster is a great way to add variety in your activity and constantly be changing it up and working different muscles in different environments. A variety of exercises, proper form and technique are key to succeeding in reaching your goals in any workout program and Body Buster has guided me in such a way that when Body Buster takes its week long break and I am working out on my own I am confident that I am using the proper form and technique as well as doing a variety of exercises that will my maximize my workout and I can avoid injury. That being said I always look forward to when the next program begins because Body Buster has become a way of life for me.

Congratulations Nicole & Sam

"I have lost over 20lbs and several inches but what’s more important to me, is how I feel."
"Body Buster Fitness is a great way to commit to getting in shape and having a great time doing it."



Nicole:
I joined Body Buster Fitness with my best friend Sam in February of 2011. What I like most about the program is my instructor Kara. She has taken the time to get to know me and pushes me to do my best even when I think I have nothing left to give.  I also love the atmosphere and energy of Body Buster which helps me dig deeper and push harder.

I have lost over 20lbs and several inches but what’s more important to me, is how I feel. I feel more energetic and stronger than before. I am more flexible and have more stamina. Before Body Buster Fitness I was hiding behind an old knee injury and surgery thinking that I was never going to be active and healthy again. I now realize that I can’t hide behind that excuse and that I can make a change in my life. Body Buster has also helped me get serious about eating healthier foods because now I ask myself - why would I work so hard 3 times a week and not eat right? I stand up taller and walk with more confidence because of how this program makes me feel.

At the very beginning I signed up for 1 month, and then I signed up for 3 months, to then commit to 1 whole year because Body Buster Fitness works. I choose to continue to sweat with this program because of how flexible it is; the hardcore instructors; the variety of exercises; and the way I feel after I have given my all in a workout.

Joining Body Buster Fitness was one of the best decisions I’ve made because before it I was sluggish, grumpy and mad at myself for letting my body go. I used to be an athletic woman before my knee surgery and now after joining this program I feel like she is coming back. I have gained a drive to keep working hard and improving my health.

I recommend this program to anyone who is looking for a fun but challenging experience. Body Buster Fitness is for everyone because you chose your level of intensity and you set your own goals. The instructors are there to help motivate you and push you at every class and there are always modifications available depending on if you wish to challenge yourself more or if you need to dial it back a bit. But remember – NO PAIN, NO GAIN and they teach you how to listen to your body so you know if it’s just a mental struggle or your body struggling.

Thanks Body Buster Fitness!!

Sam:
I have been a Body Buster Fitness member for about a year and a half.

 I got hooked on Body Buster Fitness right from the beginning. The class is always set up differently and there is always a variety of exercises; class is never repetitive or boring.

I started Body Busters to increase my physical fitness and to tone up.  I have done just that.

I continue to choose Body Buster Fitness because of how it makes me feel after each and every one hour class. The feeling of having nothing left in the tank, being hot, sweaty, and exhausted but feeling unbelievable because I accomplished another challenging class and pushed myself harder than last class.

Body Buster has made a substantial improvement to my overall health.  It has motivated me to be healthier outside of the program by eating better and running on our days off. My endurance and cardio has significantly improved which helps me be better at the sports I participate in.

Being a Body Buster Fitness member has made me much more confident in myself and in my physical abilities.  I have gained an addiction to Body Buster Fitness, working out, and being healthy.

Body Buster Fitness is great for any fitness level.  There are always modifications to every exercise to accommodate everyone.  Body Buster Fitness is a great way to commit to getting in shape and having a great time doing it.

Body Buster Fitness is very accommodating and flexible with the other things that go on in your life. The Body Buster instructors are amazing motivating people, especially my instructor Kara who gets the class through the hour workout with her jokes and her encouraging words.

Congratulations Erica!

Bootcamper Of The Program

I started with Body Buster Fitness Bootcamp in March 2011. After hibernating all winter and packing on the pounds I knew it was time for a change.

When I first attended orientation, the Body Buster team took us through a short introduction to some of the exercises we would be doing regularly, and I thought, what have I got myself into?  But after surviving my first class I knew I loved it. I am a big fan of variety and Body Buster classes are always different. I had no idea there were so many different ways to do a push up! I enjoy the camaraderie of the class and how welcoming they are to new members.  
I am very happy with my results, I have lost over 40lbs and 18 inches!
Body Buster has become part of my life. I have just enrolled for another 10 programs as I can’t imagine my week without my Body Buster classes. The program is so flexible it can accommodate any changes I have with my schedule.  I also find it helps me keep my stress level down. There is nothing quite like having a stressful day and going to a bootcamp class and giving it your all. It can be exhilarating and exhausting.
My overall health has improved immensely with boot camp. I have more energy, I am stronger and my cardiovascular endurance has improved.  I also find I sleep better.  Heart disease runs in my family and I know how important lifestyle choices are in prevention. I finally feel like I am making a lot of the right choices.  It is easier to commit to a nutrition plan when you are working out regularly. It is easier to work out regularly when you join Body Buster.
The gains from boot camp are both physical and mental. When I was finally able to complete push ups from my toes I was proud of myself. The physical capabilities lead to increased confidence. I achieve a great sense of accomplishment at every class. Some nights it is simply about making it through the class (yes they can be that hard) but other nights it is about the small personal victories (my 1km run time was better). I am a very competitive person and at boot camp you only ever compete with yourself. There are people of all ages and capabilities in each class and the exercises are always easily modified to suit everyone’s needs.  It really is great to see everyone push themselves at the coaxing of the instructors. Kara has that special touch of knowing just when to give you that extra push, (right about the time that you have nothing left). And for that I am grateful.  By taking time to take care of myself I am a better person to those around me. 
Body Buster is a great program with great people. It is worth a try. That’s what I thought over a year ago...
I would like to thank the Body Buster Team and especially my instructor Kara. She is always there to greet the class with a smile, whether it is pouring rain or sunny and 40 degrees. You know how to push us to achieve more and to support us when we are trying. I am so glad that I joined Body Buster and as you know, the real reason I continue with Bootcamp is so I can eat ice cream!!!  Thanks!

Congratulations Robin - Bootcamper of the Program for January, 2012!

Congratulations to Robin - from the HP location!

I have been a member of Body Buster since March 2011.  Since then, I have lost 30 lbs. and gone from a size 12 to a 6. I feel much stronger and have found a fun and healthy way to manage stress.

The thing I enjoy most about boot camp is how good I feel after.  It gives me a great start to my day and I feel a real sense of accomplishment when I am able to push through and complete a really tough workout. I feel so much stronger.  I’m particularly proud of the fact that when I started, I couldn’t do a burpee to save my life and now, when Huy or Kara call out “10 more burpees!”, I can do it. I find myself really missing the workouts during our week off and am eager to get started with the next program. I also love working out in High Park during the warmer months.

Regular consistent workouts have made me realize the importance of a healthy diet. To sustain my workouts and see better results, I needed to clean up my diet. Although I still fall off the clean diet “wagon” from time to time, regular workouts help me to maintain a healthy body weight and get back on track quickly so that I don’t slide back into old bad habits. Overall, I’ve seen a huge improvement in my eating habits and feel much better.

Body Buster instructors are fantastic. They have really helped me make progress by keeping the workouts challenging and fun. My instructor, Huy, has helped me improve my endurance and push past the mental barriers that could have hindered me from realizing my own strength and fitness potential.  I never feel like I’ve wasted my time. Body Buster has really helped me achieve maximum results in a minimum amount of time. That’s probably the single biggest reason I keep coming back.  I recently went from 2 to 3 mornings a week and I look forward to taking my workouts to the next level and seeing more progress in my strength and endurance in the months to come.

Thanks Body Buster!

Body Buster would like to congratulate you on your accomplishment!

Congratulations Sandy - Bootcamper of the Program for November, 2011!

Congratulations to Sandy - from the EW location!

 

I have been a Body Buster member since August 2010. I initially joined for a month to see if I would even be able to do this. The first month was very challenging but with the encouragement of other members, who looked great and where long-time members I took the plunge and signed up for the full year. Sept 2011 rolled around and I did it again and signed up for another year!  Joining Body Buster is one of the best things I’ve done for myself in a very long time!

What I really enjoy most about the program is that there is someone there to encourage and motivate me, as I really need this.  Huy, our instructor ensures we are doing our exercises correctly so as not to have injuries and pushes us when he knows we are able to give more. I am really surprised by my own abilities, especially when you hear that little bit of encouragement to not give up, just hearing that makes you push ahead to give that extra and fight through to complete those “Last Ten”. 

I am very happy with my results.  I am much more toned and have seen a dramatic improvement in my overall strength, endurance and flexibility.

I have chosen to continue with Body Buster as I do work better with a schedule and having weekly scheduled classes’ keeps me committed, engaged and on track. I do my best to ensure I  schedule my make up classes otherwise I feel guilty and disappointed that I didn’t get in my 2 weekly workouts.  Becoming more active and physically fit has made a huge difference in my life. I am much more energetic, sleep better and am able to handle day to day stressful situations in a much more clear and constructive manner. Although I am hot, tired and sweaty at the end of each class, I still have that great feeling of accomplishment and that makes you want more. The different fitness levels of the individuals in our class is a benefit as well. It is great to have someone who is stronger than you in certain areas as this motivates me to continually push myself. It is also nice to encourage others that may not be at your level and to eventually see them succeed and celebrate their success with them.  I do appreciate the encouragement, support and motivation I get from my instructor Huy.  He is always available before or after class to discuss personal concerns with us or just give us some advice on how to build upon the progress we have seen so far. 

In terms of my overall health, I feel stronger both mentally and physically.  Not only do I see the results others have noticed as well. I have gained more confidence in myself, am more energetic and stronger than ever before.  I am proud of what I have accomplished over the last 15 months.  My health was starting to impact my ability to participate in some of those winter activities that I love, especially skiing. I can hardly wait to put on my skis to see the effect of these positive changes.

Since becoming a member of Body Buster I have been reminded of the importance of an active lifestyle for overall well-being and that you must take the time yourself to ensure this happens. I find I now have a more positive attitude to working out and getting into shape.  At times it is difficult to drag my butt to class especially when I am not feeling 100%, but by the end of class I am sure glad I did. The motivation and support from both my instructor and my class members have made the difference for me as I am not always able to do this on my own and would definitely not push myself to the level that I do. 

Thank you Body Buster for keeping me motivated and my body challenged with a variety of interesting and fun workouts. 

Congratulations Effie - Bootcamper of the Program for October, 2011!

Congratulations to Effie - from the HP location!

 

I've been a member for six months. I originally thought I would join for one program only but I liked it so much I signed up for the rest of the summer and after the last outdoor program I signed up for the indoor program for the next six months.

There are three things I like most about the Body Buster Program. One is the great workout I get. Second are the other members who are fun, supportive and all working toward the same goals of a better fitness level and good health. Last and definitely not least our instructor Dani is amazing. She pushes us to work really hard but in a encouraging, engaging and fun way.

I have lost 12 pounds and approximately 15 inches.

I chose to continue with Body Buster because I want to maintain my fitness level. The program provides a convenient location,scheduled dates and times and a different workout every time.

I definitely feel better, leaner and stronger. At the same time I joined Body Buster I embarked on a vegan diet and I believe that both of those lifestyle choices helped me achieve the goals of losing weight, improving my overall health and challenging myself to do something that I wasn't sure I could do. I've always been an active person but Body Buster took my exercise workouts to another level which I really am enjoying. It also provides a good stress reliever after a busy day at work.

I've gained more intense workouts than I'm used to which was what my exercise workout needed. I developed new goals for myself that I never really thought about before I joined the program. I've met good people who are encouraging and inspiring. I found an instructor who has a great, warm spirit but still doesn't have a problem kicking our butts! I'm encouraged by other members who have been with Body Buster for a couple of years and look great and still feel sore after a Body Buster workout! I really appreciate the interest Dani takes in our goals and helping us by providing nutritional advice and information whether during class or through e-mail.

It's been a great experience and one that I plan to continue for a long time. I encourage anyone thinking about increasing their fitness level and improving their health to join Body Buster.

Congratulations Sandra - Bootcamper of the Program for September, 2011!

Congratulations to Sandra - from the EC location!

Thank you so much for selecting me as Bootcamper of the Program.

I have been a Body Buster member since February 2010.  I thought it would be interesting to try it for a month and signed up for a 1 year program the following session and I haven’t regretted it for a second.

There are so many things that I like about the Body Buster Program but I would have to say that the support and encouragement from being in a class has to be the best part.  Everyone in the EC 7:30pm class is so supportive of each other, especially our instructor Kara, she has a way of encouraging us to give that "little bit more" even when we feel we can't do any more and she's usually right.

I have been building up muscle (especially in my arms) since joining Body Busters and although this means I haven’t lost weight that doesn't bother me a bit.  The difference has really been in the way my clothes fit, look and feel which shows how my body has changed over the past year and a half.  It’s so nice to pull out my clothes for the next season and know that they will still fit and I don’t have to start looking for new things in a bigger size. 

The feeling of accomplishment you come away with from every single class makes me want to come back for more every class and every session.  I never thought that I would be doing push ups from my toes or running a full 1km but I can do both now and it just makes me feel good about myself.  I love the people in my class, they really are the best!! The encouragement we give to each other and the laughs we share really make me want to come to class even when it's so tempting to just stay home on the couch.

Throughout my time with Body Busters my cardio has improved tremendously and my stress has gone down as well. I feel so good and healthy overall because I'm more careful about what I eat now especially knowing what it takes to work it off.   After a busy day at work it's so great to know that I can look forward to Body Buster to get rid of my stress.  I sleep better now and have so much more energy, which as every working mom knows, you can never have enough of either. 

I have gained so much it's hard to know where to start but I would have to say that the most important thing that I have gained from Body Busters is self confidence.  I have been able to prove to myself that I can get better each week and each program.  The Body Buster Program has helped me to realize that I can do things I never thought I could before and it's made me less afraid to try new things.   I have learned that you really do get out of the class what you put into it and on the nights when I didn't give it my all I really felt like I let myself down.

I have to say that Body Buster has been and continues to be a great experience for me.  I really look forward to my classes and wonder what might be in store and Kara never fails to deliver new challenges and tons of encouragement and support.   

Body Buster would like to congratulate you on your accomplishment!

Congratulations Jessica - Bootcamper of the Program for August, 2011!

Congratulations to Jessica - from the HP location!

I have been a body buster member since January 2011 though it feels like I've been doing it forever. which is a very good thing.

I love the results that body buster gives me. it is a lot of work, but it really pays off. i also find dani to be the most encouraging teacher i have come across, and a good teacher makes all the difference, not only in encouraging you to do it, but making you want to do it.

I have lost the last 15 pounds of baby weight from my second child and enough inches that i am wearing smaller sizes than i have ever worn.

It has become part of my life style. at first it was to lose the baby weight, then to get out of the house to clear my head, and now it is something i truly look forward to every week. it is a complete adrenaline rush that compares to no other workout i have ever done.

I feel fantastic. i have never been been a runner at any point in my life and now i have the desire to run whenever possible - with my kids, down the street, just to get to the car, in runners or heels, wherever!

I have gained a clearer mind and a lot more energy.

This has been a fantastic experience and continues to be every time i attend a class. i tell everyone i know that this is the best thing i have ever done. if you want to enjoy a workout, and enjoy your body, then body bust it. cheesy maybe, but totally true.

Body Buster would like to congratulate you on your accomplishment!

Congratulations Vicenta - Bootcamper of the Program for July, 2011!

Congratulations to Vicenta - from the HP location!

I joined the program at the end of April 2011 and have been a Body Buster Fitness member for 3 months!

There are tons of things that I love about the Body Buster program. The thing I love MOST is being challenged!! I hate going to the gym and can’t motivate myself to work out at home so I know when I come to class that I will be working VERY hard and taking on many challenges.

In the last 3 months, I have lost almost 15 pounds and tons of inches.

I have chosen to continue with Body Buster because I have seen huge changes in my body (i.e. more toning) and love that I am getting faster and stronger. Also, I love the variety of each program and enjoy working out outdoors while meeting new people.

In spite of having asthma, I have seen great improvements in my cardiovascular abilities. I also have fewer food cravings and TONS of energy. I feel stronger and know that I can take on anything!

Before being a member of Body Buster, I didn’t really know what it was to push myself, but thanks to my peers and instructors, I know I CAN push myself every time and there are NO limitations.

I rave to everyone I know about working out with Body Buster. The instructors definitely kick butt and keep me on my toes!!! I love how much fun I have (except when doing the Dani famous burpee specials * ha ha*) and love feeling like a million dollars!!!

The experience has been challenging, but worthwhile with great mental and physical results. My body and mind crave the challenge and I know that it’s all up to ME and that I can push through it each time!!! Thanks to the great group at HP and Dani for challenging me to be the best I can be!

Body Buster would like to congratulate you on your accomplishment!

We would like to give a big congrats to Jonnie at the HP location!

I've been a Body Buster Fitness member since October of 2010 and have attended class regularly ever since.  I first signed up for a month, loved it!  I then signed up for three months, got hooked!  Now I'm doing a 6 month term and I don't know what I'd do without it!

My favourite aspect about Body Buster is that extra push from the instructors.  Everyone gets those moments where they doubt they can move their muscles another inch and that the tank has run dry.  With the "help" of the instructors I've been able to fight through it in a way that I was never able to before.  Now when I hear "LAST TEN!" I put the burn aside and give everything, it's been amazing.

In my case I didn't attend Body Buster for weight loss. I wanted to tone up and feel healthier.  It worked much better and faster than I had expected, I've gained around 10 pounds of muscle!  My twig legs.. well they're not so twiggy anymore... thanks squat jumps!

Continuing with Body Buster is not something I debate at all, it's a must. This is a lifestyle, and it's exactly what I was looking for.  I never want to miss a class, let alone an entire session.

The health benefits of Body Buster Fitness have been tremendous.  I really enjoy pushing myself as a stress reliever after a tough work day. I've been feeling lighter on my feet as every class goes by.  I'm stronger and more agile as well.  In the past I was starting to feel winded when climbing stairs and now I'm running up them 2 at a time.

Body Buster has given me the confidence to push past any of the limitations that I believed I had in the past. I was my own worst enemy, not believing that I could do certain things and just getting in my own way. Now I'm looking to better myself everyday. The amount of drive that I've gained from the program is incredible.. seems believing that you can is a much bigger step than actually doing, once the former comes.. the latter is a piece of cake.

The instructors at Body Buster truly care that you're getting what you need out of the program. They're not just filling in time at their job.  Sometimes you wish they hadn't seen you when you dropped your aching arms, or couldn't hold your squat. But it's the fact that they did that helps to encourage you and keep you pushing on.  A BIG thank you gos out to Lisa and Dani!.. the kickers of my butt.

Body Buster would like to congratulate you on your accomplishment!

Congratulations Melissa and Donovan! Bootcampers of the Program for February, 2011!

We would like to give a big congrats to Melissa & Donovan at the ES location!

 

We have been with BBF since April 2009 and are coming up on our second anniversary!

We love that each class is different - keeping it interesting, keeping our bodies challenged and our muscles guessing which is really important. But we probably love our instructor Kara most - her approach is the right mix of tough love and kick your butt encouragement. She really understands how to make us motivate ourselves.

I (Melissa) have gained weight but it's been in muscle. I (Donovan) have also gained a little weight in muscle. My cardio is much closer to when I was younger and was playing soccer almost every day. Muscularly, bootcamp has made me the fittest I've ever been.

We've continued because of how it makes us feel. It's tough, sure, but we almost always come away from a class feeling better than we did going to it. It's a great combination of cardio and strength training and Kara always keeps us challenged. Even after a long day at work and we're tired and sitting on the couch would be really easy - we remind ourselves how great we feel after the class and that gets us up and out the door. 

The program makes us feel great about our overall health and fitness because we know we are taking care of it. Having someone like Kara who knows just the right thing to say and when to say it to get people like us (the 'not' newbies) to push it a little harder keeps the program challenging. We feel stronger and happier and know that at the end of each class - we've pushed it by working out hard. We also sleep a little better. :)

It's an activity we do together - which is remarkable considering the differences between us. It's also a form of exercise that works really well for us as a couple. People of different fitness levels, ages and background can workout together and we love the program is designed to suite everyone. We've met a lot of great people in the last 2 years and we genuinely miss our Bootcamp mates when they miss a class.  We just signed on for another full year - it's addictive and we highly recommend it!

Body Buster would like to congratulate both of you on your accomplishments!

Congratulations Margaret - Bootcamper of the Program for January, 2011!

Margaret - Well Done!   

You are our Bootcamper of the Program!

I cannot believe that almost two years have gone by since joining Body Buster.  My first class was in April of 2009.  My girlfriend and I decided we wanted to get into shape for the summer and had heard fantastic things about boot camp.  I thought it was worth a shot because I dreaded going to the gym.  We did an internet search and chose Body Buster because it was close to home.  I’ve been hooked ever since.

There is so much that I love about the Body Buster Program.  I have to start off with our fantastic instructor Kara.  She keeps all of us motivated and encourages us to do our personal best in a safe, friendly environment.  The classes she plans are engaging and fun.  It is always a complete workout and I leave feeling that I have accomplished something.  I also enjoy sharing the experience with my classmates.  Seeing all the friendly faces each week and sharing the experience with them inspires me to try my best.  It is nice to have others around to share a laugh with when you are in pain and who keep you motivated to push through it.

I’ve lost 13 pounds since joining Body Buster and have gone down three jean sizes.  However, I don’t focus on what I’ve lost.  I am most proud of the endurance and muscle strength that I am gaining!!   

Body Buster has become a part of my lifestyle.  I look forward to my Tuesday/Thursday workouts and the thought of not continuing doesn’t cross my mind.   

My overall health has improved and it has rippled into all aspects of my life.  Not only do I see the results but I feel much better about myself.   I’m stronger, happier and more energetic!!!

This is going to sound cliché but I feel that I have gained a new me.  Before Body Buster I despised running and wasn’t much for working out.  I still remember struggling to complete the one kilometer run my first class (it wasn’t really a run but more of a walk/jog combination).  I thought that I never would be able to run the full kilometer and envied the classmates that could.  But with the motivation of my instructor and the inspiration of my classmates I finally did complete the run and I continue to improve.  Now I enjoy running and sometimes catch myself doing it outside of class.  But most importantly I have gained confidence in myself.  I am proud of what I have achieved and happy that I am becoming a healthier person because of it.

Again, Congratulations Margaret! We are proud of you and your accomplishments!

Bootcamper of the Program for October - Congrats Lily!

Congratulations Lily!

We would like to give a big congrats to Lily at the ES location! 

HERE'S WHAT LILY HAS TO SAY: 

I have been a member of Body Buster Fitness since March of 2009. I love the variety of workouts. It is never the same thing twice. The best part of going to these classes is that it forces you to work out areas that you would not be normally working out.

I am way more toned, I have more energy and I feel much stronger. It is now a lifestyle for me. I don't think about whether I will continue or should I continue. I can't imagine NOT going to Body Buster. I have arthritis and building strength is very important. I also feel way more confident in how I feel and look.

I have total faith in my instructor Kara and trust her knowledge and judgment with all aspects of my participating in this program. I have learned a lot about what sort of exercises work best together in order to get the most from it. I look forward to coming to my Monday and Wednesday night classes with Kara. She works us hard, but she does it in a positive way. Her infectious smile and positive approach keeps us all enthralled.

I actually dread the weeks off -- and count the days til the next class. Body Buster would like to congratulate Lily on her accomplishments! Way to GO!

Bootcamper of the Program for September - Congrats Nana!

HERE'S WHAT NANA HAS TO SAY:

I have been a member since November 2008 almost 2 years!! I love that every class is unique. Every class is an opportunity to try different variations of familiar exercises. I love the comradery of working with a group of people - it keeps it fun! Expect the unexpected is what I always think when going into class.

I am about 30 pounds  lighter and have gone down four dress sizes. I just recently fit into my "skinny jeans" that were in the back of my closet - I love it!! 

Body Buster has become part of my regular exercise routine. My week does not feel complete unless I do my classes. The feeling of accomplishment that I experience after every class is something I have never felt with any other exercise routine I have tried. I am proud of myself after every class that I completed it and now I can't live without it!!

 

I have never felt so strong physically. This feeling has traversed into my everyday life. I have become much more flexible and agile, and it has encouraged me to make exercise part of my everyday life. I have increased energy, de -stresses me after a long day of work and has encouraged me to eat properly and respect my body. I feel l have less limitations of what I can't do and approach everything in class with "I can do this" attitude.

Body Buster is a wonderful network of people with positive attitudes and encouragement. There is nothing like working out with a group of people that are trying to accomplish the same goals as you are. I feel like I am part of a team - that we in this together. I look forward to class, to seeing everyone and how far they have come and how hard they work. It pushes me to be the best that I can be.

Body Buster has been a life changing experience for me. I want to thank the Etobicoke South crew who  rain or shine are out there with me, being so positive and keeping it fresh and fun.  I just wanted to give a special shout out to my girl Kara who always pushes me to challenge myself, work harder, increase my intensity and "bring it" to every class. Mind over Body become my motto !! it has been a privilege to learn from you and be part of your class..thank you!! 

Body Buster would like to congratulate Nana on her accomplishments! Way to GO!

Bootcamper of the Program for August - Congrats Mary!

We would like to give a big congrats to Mary at the EC location! Mary has been working hard at bootcamp for the past 2 years and her results have been amazing! In the past few programs, Mary has really "amped it up" with even more positive energy, more drive, motivation and hard work. Mary is a pleasure to have in class and is always encouraging her fellow bootcampers and cracking jokes!

 
We are very proud of Mary! She is a great example of a true "Bootcamper"!

HERE'S WHAT MARY HAS TO SAY:

I have been a boot camper for over two years.  What I like the most is the diversity of each class and, especially the outdoor classes.  Never a boring moment. 


To date I have lost about eight inches all around.  And I have found that my strength, flexibility and endurance have improved considerably throughout the program.  I have more energy (except immediately following class), and find that I push myself a bit more with each exercise. 
 

My Body Buster class is a mix of young, old, men and women.  We encourage each other and it's very motivating when I can do just as much or more than those much younger then me! 

Healthwise, I have seen a decrease in BMI and improvement in cholesterol levels - that's what burpees do for us.  And lower back pain has lessened!

I am glad now that I was convinced to join a class because I now look forward to coming to Boot Camp....even ball night.  Thank you, Kara and Dani!  And I signed up for another year of Body Buster.

Body Buster would like to congratulate
Mary on her accomplishments! Way to GO!
