8) Can’t I just go to my aerobic class?

This tends to be a common question for individuals not familiar with our program. We are not an aerobic class – we’re actually far from it.

As you may know, aerobic classes exploded on the scene in the 1980’s. They are often disguised under names such as “body sculpting” or “core toning” classes. Here are some of the major differences between aerobic classes and Just for Her Boot Camps:

1. Nutrition!
   

   Nutrition is the #1 component in every fitness program. If you’re not eating healthy, you’re not getting results. Aerobic classes miss the most important part of weight loss program, which is always nutrition.

   We will hand you a complete shopping list and sample meal plans the day you become a member to ensure your success.

2. Assessment
   

   To design a quality fitness program you must assess the individual’s core, strength, and flexibility. By doing so you can create a specific plan and goals. Aerobic classes do not offer any type of fitness assessment.

   Each workout our members are assessed and shown several variations of each exercise to ensure their safety and progress.

3. Accountability
   

   There’s no accountability or on-going support in an aerobic class.

   You can come and go as you wish in an aerobic class. It doesn’t matter if you go every day, randomly, or stop completely. Most aerobic participants stop completely or go randomly throughout the year, which ends up being a complete waste of time of far as results go.

   We offer both weekly accountability and unlimited support for your entire journey. You are welcomed to call or email your trainer at any time if you have questions or just need a little pick me up.

4. High Intensity
   

   The Truth: most aerobic classes are not intense enough to change your body and increase your metabolism. If you want to shed fat and build long lean muscle tissue you need to work at a much higher intensity.

   We’ll teach how to safely progress to higher intensities that will ultimately change your body.

9) Why shouldn’t I just go join a gym for 20-80 dollars per month? Wouldn’t that do the trick?

We know that you have endless amounts of options to choose from to lose weight, get in shape, and get healthy, but it is a lot easier said than done. Recent studies have shown that 65% of people that join a gym stop going within the first 30 days of joining, and 89% stop going within the first 90 days. That same study concluded that weight-loss seekers who had some sort of social support and accountability lost 50% more body fat than the test group that attempted to lose the weight on their own. 
Losing weight and getting in shape is about motivation, accountability, AND knowing the right way to reach your goals. It’s also about establishing an entire lifestyle change. Just for Her Boot Camps is not a quick-fix program—it is a complete and comprehensive lifestyle program that incorporates strength, cardio, nutrition, accountability, willpower, education, motivation, and social support. It’s a no-fail way to lose unwanted body fat so you have more energy to play with your kids, be able to walk into a store and fit into any piece of clothing, and feel as confident and happy as you deserve. Period.

10) What do you mean by “boot camp”?

Just for Her Boot Camps is not one of those military-style boot camps that new recruits endure when they join the army. In fact, we aren’t military style at all! We use the word boot camp, because that’s it is the word that everyone recognizes for group fitness training. There’s no yelling involved, you are trained by some of Pittsburgh’s top Personal Trainers not an over the top “drill sergeant”.

Our group personal training classes are 45-minutes of the most effective strength and cardio combinations possible—in fact we use interval-type training that is scientifically proven to be the most effective type of exercise for losing body fat and building that long, lean sexy muscle mass.

11) What does your typical 45-minute workout look like?

This is NOT your typical group fitness class. We have taken our exclusive one-on-one training model and integrated it into our group personal training program.

This is how our workout breaks down:

• 10 Minutes Self-Massage Techniques – Each class begins with a complete, state-of-the-art warm-up to best prevent unwanted injury and to allow for a more effective workout. You will use tennis balls or foam rollers to massage your tight areas – learning these techniques will make a major difference in your overall performance.

• 10 Minutes Dynamic Stretching/Muscle Activation - This is the time to stretch and prepare your body for the workout.

• 20 Minutes Full Body Strength-Cardio Routine – We utilize the most effective strength and cardio combinations possible—in fact we use interval-type training that is scientifically proven to be the most effective type of exercise for losing body fat and toning your body.

• 5 Minutes High Intensity Cardio – We often end our workout with a 4-5 minute high intensity cardio routine. It is the icing on the cake. We will also teach you how to utilize these 4-5 minute workouts on your own to maximize your results.

• Daily Bonus:
  

  10-15 Minute If you can stay for an additional 15 minutes we’ll work on stretching and self-massage again to best prevent nagging aches and pains and reduce soreness between workouts.

12) The word "boot camp" sounds intense and scares me. What if I’m not very physically fit, can I do it?

Yes you can! One of the main reasons we differ from other fitness boot camps out there is that we cater to the individual and don’t just have one set workout for everyone. Instead we show modifications, progressions, regressions, and low and high impact options so that every single person can work out to her own fitness level. We know that all of our members are at different fitness levels and different points in their long-term goals. That is why we cater every workout-- every single exercise to the INDIVIDUAL.

Whether you have five or fifty pounds to lose, or just those stubborn ten, you'll find that Just for Her Boot Camps is just the program for you.
