THE WORKOUT YOU'LL LOVE
"Wow, that went by FAST!". This is the greatest compliment we can get from our participants after a booty kicking workout, and we hear it a lot! For us, the outdoor fitness phenomenon is not a passing fad, but a passionate lifestyle for daily health, and our unique, addictive class style is proof of our passion.

Each morning at Camp, after a comprehensive warm-up to open the spine, engage the core and support the low back (injury prevention at it's best!), we'll ramp up the play for a calorie dashing 55 minutes that alternates our signature short distance run/walk Agility Sprints, good mood inducing Double Power strength circuits and quadriceps lovin' Speedster Sets with super fun, non-competitive partner relay's. To keep it all fresh and exciting, we pull out active props, tricks and challenges along the way, ensuring your workout switches gears every 4 minutes. Add to this a bountiful supply of metabolism rocketing abdominal intervals to shrink and strengthen the core, and it's no wonder our daily workout's burn off 550-1000 calories in one go! Your trainer will keep you motivated, focused on your goals AND in a state of empowered learning. All you have to do is show up to the play!

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FUN
We know the best workout results come from using an ongoing variety of fitness challenges applied workout after workout; that's Cross Training! When brief periods of intensity are combined with short periods of recovery, a process scientifically proved to break through fitness plateau's to provide greater results in less time; that's Interval Training! At SWLB, we take these 2 powerful training modalities and combine them with our own test group developed strength and resistance technique's that generate powerful physiologic responses of decreased body fat and dramatically increased strength and tone.

SKI CONDITIONING HIGHLIGHTS OUR WINTER PROGRAMS
All of our four week winter sessions highlight winter sport specific exercises and cardio moves to accelerate fast motion core power and lower body strength. Using plyometrics, you'll twist, jump and crunch your way to your best winter sport season ever. Join us and get your slope on!

NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED RESULTS
It has been exciting to watch our members get results month after month, season after season, and it continues to be our pleasure to bring members the best of our education and ingenuity. Just as exciting has been the national press given to our small, local program. We knew we were onto something huge in the fitness community when the editors of nationally renowned Women's Health Magazine asked us to create an outdoor workout for their June 2008 issue. More recently, we were named one of the Top Bootcamp Programs in the nation by Fitness Magazine. As a small community program born of passion and enthusiasm for the Northwest lifestyle, both the creators and longtime members of Seattle Weight Loss Bootcamp appreciate this recognition of our commitment to the play!

PERSONALIZED WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
We know how important good nutrition and proper eating can be to both your weight loss goals and overall good health.

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!

"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!"
