It’s not politically correct for me to point out the short-comings of my competition, but I’ll do it anyway because I don’t like seeing honest consumers wasting their hard-earned money on poor quality exercise programs.

The reason why practically 100% of personal trainers think boot camp programs are a joke is because nearly 100% of boot camp programs are currently being run by uncertified instructors who have no business teaching people about fitness.

The franchised boot camp company promotes their program as producing “accelerated results”. Great, but accelerated results towards what, exactly? Certainly not fat loss. Here’s what they claim you will be doing during their program:

• Strength Training
• Drills
• Agility Training
• Calisthenics
• Obstacle Courses
• Yoga
• Pilates
• Circuit Training
• Ultimate
• Jogging
• Power Walking

That’s a big list, with lots of activities that have absolutely no business being in a program marketed as producing “accelerated results”, unless the result is mastery of random activities that will NOT produce fat loss.

I’ll revise the list, eliminating the activities that aren’t very conducive towards fat loss:

• Strength Training
• Calisthenics
• Circuit Training

Add high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to the list, and you have yourself an accelerated fat loss program.

Do your homework before you spend a dime on a boot camp program in Vancouver. Most programs are a complete waste of your time, effort, and money; and many of them will put your safety at risk by sticking you in a ridiculously large group (30 to 40+ people per class) led by an uncertified and unqualified instructor.

For more tips on how to avoid being taken to the cleaners by a boot camp company that’s only interested in your wallet, sign up for my free report on the top six questions you should ask before handing over any of your hard-earned cash.

In my free report on the top 6 questions you should ask before you hand over your hard-earned cash to a boot camp program in Vancouver, I answered the following questions:

• How many participants should there be per class to ensure everyone receives maximum attention from the instructor?
• What are the most credible fitness certifications? (And why is “certified boot camp instructor” NOT a credible certification?)
• What qualities should you look for in a boot camp instructor?
• What is a fair price for a boot camp program in Vancouver?
• Why do the most popular boot camp programs in Vancouver provide the least value?
• How can you be sure that you will be 100% satisfied and get your money’s worth from whichever group fitness program you choose?

As a bonus to that series, here’s another question that you should ask:

Are participants required to bring all of their own equipment to each class?

If the answer to that question is “yes”, then the boot camp program in question only sees DOLLAR SIGNS in your eyes, and is not concerned with ensuring that you receive maximum RESULTS from your boot camp workouts.

The reason most boot camp companies require participants to bring their own equipment to each class is that it makes the classes very SIMPLE to run, and those companies can pack extremely LARGE NUMBERS into their classes without having to worry about equipment. These two things benefit the boot camp company, NOT the participant.

Not to mention that only the most DECONDITIONED of people who have never exercised before in their life would see much results from a workout done with the ultra-light dumbbells participants are required to bring to those aerobic boot camp programs.

Remember, if those boot camp companies were primarily concerned with helping you achieve RESULTS, they’d supply ALL of the equipment for each workout, and design workouts based on utilizing all of that exercise equipment to the MAX. This would mean more money spent on running the business, more time spent designing and planning workouts, and it would require more expertise from the instructor. But having you bring ultra-light dumbbells to each workout is a business decision designed to maximize their PROFITS, and in particular it is a formula that lends itself to franchising, and allowing every Tom, Dick, and Sally to be able to call themselves boot camp instructors and take your money.

So if you’re considering joining a boot camp program in Vancouver, and the program you’re considering requires you to bring your own little “hand weights” to each workout, unless you’ve never exercised before in your entire life, DON’T waste your money on such a low quality workout.
