COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT BOOT CAMP
How do I sign up now?
Go to the registration page and fill out the registration form. At the end of the registration process, please follow the payment instructions to set up your EasyPay option using your VISA, MASTERCARD, DISCOVER, or Paypal account. Once we've received your registration information, you will receive an automatic email with additional information. Please check your BULK or SPAM folder as it sometimes lands there.
What is the Pre Camp Evaluation?
The Pre-Camp Evaluation includes the following:
- We will give you an introduction to Boot Camp and answer any questions you may have. We will also review your medical history.
- We will take a few simple measurements to see where you are prior to beginning camp. We don't care what the measurements show. It's strictly for a post-camp comparison. These numbers and all other information will be held in the strictest confidence. Remember, the more consistent you are the better your results will be!
- We will make sure you know how to get to camp in the morning so you don’t have any excuses!
- See you at camp!
What if your camp is already in session, can I still join?
If the camp session is not already full, then absolutely. Plus, our camps are ongoing so you may join anytime! Many people are so excited about the boot camp program, they want to start right away and not wait for the next day or week. When you are ready, you are READY.
If you find that the currently offered sessions are already full (which definitely happens), you may have to be put on a waiting list. But don't wait to sign up - you don't want to be left behind again!
What do I need to bring to camp?
You will need to bring one set of 5 - 8 lb. hand weights and any type of exercise mat (You can get both of these at any local Target, Walmart, Ross, or any sporting goods store such as Big 5). You will also want to bring water to keep yourself hydrated during camp. Optional items are a towel to dry off with and workout gloves or mittens in the winter. Dress in layers and even if it is chilly don’t worry - you will get warm very fast! And always bring a positive attitude!
What if I sign up for the 3 month option and then want to upgrade to the 6 or 12 month option, can I do that?
After starting camp, many women realize how fun, convenient and results oriented it is so they request to sign up for an upgraded option. In addition, they realize that the more months they commit to, the greater the results. In these situations, just let your trainer know and we will set you up on the new plan of your choice.
Will I be sore sometimes?
Most people feel some soreness for the first 2-3 days. After that point, it is slight to moderate. It's part of the process that lets you improve! We recommend soaking in Epsom Salt and doing some extra stretching at home. We also suggest that you purchase a foam roller.
What kinds of people go to camp?
They are people just like you. They range in age from 15 - 65+. Some have never exercised, and some are competitive runners looking to train for the next race. Some have over 100 pounds to lose, and some need to gain weight or simply tone up. Some have had surgeries, injuries or recent multiple births. Some have husbands overseas, some have eating disorders, some have handicap children waiting for them at home. They are a group of women who want something better for themselves. They want results, they want to feel great, they want to reclaim their energy, feel attractive and be the very best they can be. These women are looking to jump start their fitness and get fast results. They are determined and committed and many admit they were scared to sign up and get started, but later were SO glad they did!
Is there a refund policy?
If you are unable to attend camp due to circumstances out of your control, we can offer you a refund if you notify us prior to you start the program. However we will charge a $50.00 cancellation fee. If we are notified after your session begins, please see the early cancellation policy under the Program tab (payment options).
What is a typical day like at camp?
That's difficult to say since each day is intentionally different to alleviate boredom and fitness plateaus. You can expect mat work, some running (less than 1 mile), weight training, obstacle courses, H.I.I.T. (high intensity interval training), tabata training, functional training and jumping rope. On special days, we will go hiking and play sports-related games. It's always an adventure, and you'll always have fun! Ahwatukee Adventure Boot Camp coaches teach you a great deal about proper form and "core stability."
How soon will I see results?
Performance improvement can take place in as little as three days. You will feel less bloated and more energetic in the first week. "Visual Improvement" can take from two to four weeks depending on your effort level and complimenting your workouts with healthful eating. It's becoming common to see a camper go down 1-2 dress sizes within the first 4 weeks. Remember, everyone is different!
Do you have a nutrition plan that you recommend?
Yes, please visit our Nutrition page to learn about our partners, who provide some very valuable services in this extremely important area. You will also be provided with additional nutritional information once you register.
What will I do after camp is over?
This is a lifestyle change so it's never over, the camps are now ongoing. Once you have your initial measurments, you may get re-measured at anytime. It is completely up to you when you think you need a check up to see how you doing. Most people can tell by their clothes how they are doing. Many (up to 80%) of the campers enjoy the program so much, they never leave.
