Congratulations, Maureen! You're the Body Buster Fitness Bootcamper of the May 2015 Program!



Maureen

"I came to realize that a healthy fitness plan necessitated a change to my diet. That combined with my Body Buster Fitness classes, has helped me maintain my weight loss and also gain a healthier self-image."

Thank you to Body Buster Fitness for choosing me as Bootcamper of the program. I feel like I have very tough competition for this spot. 

I’ve been a Body Buster Fitness member for over 4 years. When I joined my weight was at an all time high and my self image was low. Group fitness classes work for me and knowing that my Body Buster family, which includes the instructors and my fellow bootcampers, are paying attention to me and my goals, as well as when I am absent from classes, helps motivate me to go to class even when I don’t feel like going. I know that I can’t do this on my own – I need Body Buster to help keep me active and motivated. Every class is different and every class is a challenge – even after four years. 

I’ve had a very positive experience with Body Buster fitness. From my first class I was made to feel welcome and part of the team. The instructors keep an eye on all of us to make sure we are not feeling overwhelmed and offer solutions and modifications if we are struggling or if we are finding it too easy. The first few classes were really tough as I hadn’t been active for a few years and getting back into it was difficult. I began to see results right away and it made me want to come back. Overall, I’ve lost over 20 pounds (I’ve lost the last 5 pounds several times!) and dropped two jeans sizes (hello skinny jeans!) 

More important than the external changes, I feel healthier and have more energy. Also, I came to realize that a healthy fitness plan necessitated a change to my diet. That combined with my Body Buster Fitness classes, has helped me maintain my weight loss and also gain a healthier self-image. Good health is an incredible gift and I’m doing everything I can to make sure that my family and I continue to enjoy good health. My family sees how important these classes are to me – it is part of our routine and I have their support to continue my fitness plan and keep working toward my goals. We are all active and more fit than before and I credit much of that to Body Buster Fitness. 

Thank you to Jamie who has always been helpful and accommodating of my requests. Also a huge thank you to all of my instructors, most notably Kara, Dani and Huy. They know when to push me and when to leave me alone and I appreciate all of it, even if sometimes it doesn’t look like I do. 

Thank you as well to my Body Buster Fitness colleagues who make every class fun. And the fact that we watch out for each other, cheer each other on, laugh together and commiserate helps very much. Melanie is my hero and I hope I can attend classes and run as fast as she can for many years to come. 

I highly recommend Body Buster Fitness to anyone of any fitness level. The classes are hard work but worth it. You’ll see changes in both your mind and body and you’ll have fun and make new friends. Make time for you and make time for fitness – you won’t regret it and you might love it! It is always so easy to find an excuse not to exercise. Make it part of your routine and your Body Buster instructors will help you with new challenges to allow you to meet your goals and then set new goals. 

I can do so much more than when I started. The first class, I couldn’t do a sit-up and ball pass seemed impossible. I’ll never enjoy burpees and I really wish Huy wouldn’t lie when he’s counting us down, but I do enjoy classes and I never thought I would admit to that. 

Thank you again, it is an honour to be recognized. Thanks to everyone for their ongoing support – I literally could not do it without you.

Body Buster Fitness - May 2014 Bootcamper of the Program

Noel
"Results will come if you put your mind to it."
We at Body Buster would like to send a big congratulations to Noel. Noel has seen very significant increases in both his muscular and cardiovascular endurance since beginning with the Body Buster program in January. He gives his all each and every classs and pushes past mental blocks and barriers when given tough exercises to complete. He definitely practices the "mind over matter" technique in the classes and has truly come a long way in all aspects of his health over the course of his Body Buster experience.

Noel is also a great classmate to have in the program. He is a positive and encouraging model for all the members in his class and has proven that with hard work and dedication to the program and his health, anything is possible. In fact, for the first time in Body Buster history - we had members writing in to nominate a fellow member for Bootcamper of the program! Not only do we at Body Buster think he is deserving of this honour, so do many of the members in his class.

Noel has made Body Buster a new part of his lifestyle and we are very proud of him and all he has accomplished in the program. Congrats Noel!

I have been a body buster since January 2014. What I like most about body buster is how motivated and focused I get during these workouts. I have lost about 4 pounds since Xmas. I am continuing with body buster as I am seeing a vast improvement in fitness levels. But I don't want to stop at that. I know I can reach a higher fitness level if I stay at it. In terms of overall health I personally think I am far more healthier than prior to joining body buster. Everything has changed. Eating loads of healthy food, drinking less alcohol, sleeping very well and I have lots of energy. 

What I have gained since joining body buster is learning how to lead a more healthy lifestyle, developing strength and how to maintain this. My advice to people who never took the program is to try it out.
You will get fit and knock of unwanted pounds if you listen and follow instructors advice and that bit of commitment from yourself and patience.  You have to make an effort to see results. Results will come if you put your mind to it and the trainers are extremely helpful to help you achieve your targets.

Successful RUN FOR THE CURE Performance

Successful RUN FOR THE CURE Performance

On Sunday morning (October 6th, 2013) Team Body Buster members were decked out in their best pink gear and ready to run/walk in the fight against breast cancer! Our team had a strong turnout on run day even with poor weather – because as the Body Buster Fitness motto goes – we workout outdoors ‘rain or shine’!
