"Knowing that my commitment and hard work with the program helped me achieve my weight loss goals and many other health benefits is amazing"

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!

"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 - 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.

Body Buster Bootcamp March 2014 Bootcamper of the Program!

Making a commitment to form a regular exercise routine is one of the most important things you can do for yourself.

I have been a Body Buster Fitness member for apx 1 year.

What I love about the Body Buster Fitness Program is I don't have to think.  I just need to show up and my instructor tells me what to do.  

I have lost Apx 5 pounds, not sure in inches but have lost 1 dress size

I have made Body Buster part of my regular routine.  The group atmosphere and my instructor Lily is very motivational. It is great to be among people with the same focus and fitness goals.

The Body Buster Program has made me feel fitter, stronger and generally more healthy.  I have more energy throughout the day.

Although it is a struggle to get up at 5:30am to go to bootcamp it sets the stage for the rest of the day.  I find I am more focused and effective at work after a good class.  By making exercise part of my regular routine I have more energy throughout the day.  With a 3 and 6 year old at home every ounce of energy is important.

The great thing about the Body Buster program is that there is always someone there to challenge you.  The instructors are there to ensure you are engaged and challenged for the full hour.  This is very hard to do on your own at the gym.

We all lead hectic work and family lives.  Making a commitment to form a regular exercise routine is one of the most important things you can do for yourself.  Focusing on personal health and fitness affects so many areas of your life. Not only does it improve your overall health it improves your entire mental state which affects everyone around you.

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.
