PERSONALIZED WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
We know how important good nutrition and proper eating can be to both your weight loss goals and overall good health. From the start of your four week session, we work one on one with participants who want to create balance and optimal health in their diet. If you've been longing for a nutritional overhaul, not just a diet, our program incorporates simple, yet powerful, weekly changes tailored to improve your specific nutritional challenges. Our process is interactive, fun and designed for long term weight loss.

WHY OUTDOORS?
Believe it or not, our bodies are at their fat burning best when enduring the out of doors. Irregular terrain, temperature and weather all do their part to keep the body on it's toes and the mind guessing. These irregularities force the senses to come alive and the body to stay focused on the present moment allowing the mind/body connection to come to the forefront of your workout for a more powerful experience than the typical gym program.

Imagine the fresh air around you, birds gliding overhead, a breeze in the trees and the sweat of another successful workout on your brow! For some busy people this will be the only time they spend out of doors all day. At Seattle Weight Loss Boot Camp we make that time count!

OK, SO WHAT IS THE MIND/BODY CONNECTION?
Put simply, the Mind/Body Connection is the powerful relationship between our thoughts, or mind focus, and our bodies. Because brain cells are found throughout the entire body and are not only isolated to the brain, where we focus our thoughts during exercise can have amazing benefit to health and vitality.

At Seattle Weight Loss Boot Camp, we want to optimize on this connection through focus on proper breathing and visualization of the muscles we are working. We call it "Putting Your Mind Where Your Booty Is".

"As a kid growing up in Seattle, my parents made sure outdoor events were a huge part of my experience. Ski trips, swimming and weekend camping were staples of my family dynamic, and those interests grew into surfing and trail running as an adult. With the life changes of my 30's I began to gain weight, A LOT of weight, and soon found myself topping out at over 200 pounds. With this rapid weight gain, my life as I knew it disappeared. No more bikini clad surf trips to Mexico, or trail running along the coast. Even backyard badminton was too much for my knees and joints to bear. All physical play screeched to a halt, while my love of life and self esteem plummeted. For me, as for many women, this was a process I had to experience in order to come to terms with my own beliefs about my body. And I learned to be thankful for that. When the time came to lose the weight it was terrifically hard to make such radical changes on my own, and during the process I would often fantasize about a community fitness program for overweight women that did not underestimate their abilities, or sell them fitness in 30 minutes 3 times a week. I wanted to feel like I could take on the world, not just make it up a flight of stairs! As I progressed on my journey, and became passionate about Holistic Fitness and Nutrition, I decided to make my idea of a Fitness Boot Camp for women a reality, and Seattle Weight Loss Boot camp was born. In the past two years my program has grown to accommodate the fitness aspirations of Seattle's more athletic women alongside the needs of those women new to daily fitness. It is in this merging of abilities that participants find true inspiration inside the group fitness dynamic. Everyday with the women in my classes, I bring my experience, education and resourcefulness to the play. Through Fitness, I want every woman to feel like she can take on the world!"
