The Bootcamp Express
I recently became a member of The Bootcamp Express fitness team (1515 W Berwyn, Chicago Il, in the Andersonville township) and wanted to write a few comments about the concept and program.
www.thebootcampexpress.com is the site for this new training facility run by two of the Chicago industry's top fitness professionals, Annette Kaptur and Shannon Helfrich.
During my first meeting with Kaptur and Helfrich, I was introduced to their concepts of fitness which I have adopted in my own personal training these last two weeks.
Kaptur and Helfrich designed a training concept catering to 3 levels of fitness advocates... The Beginner, which they call "Ready", the Intermediate, called "Set" and the Elite, referred to as "Go".
The program simultaneously runs all 3 levels of fitness participants through the same workout, but at their own pace and according fitness levels. This allows beginner participants to have the same intense workout as elite athletes and feel a part of the team, rather than they are the "newbies" of the class.
Training runs an hour and is broken into intense 15 minute intervals split between cardiovascular and strength training (for more information on the breakdown visit www.thebootcampexpress.com).
Having a strong background in fitness, I was not skeptical as toward Kaptur and Helfrich's concept, however was leery as to if this particular concept would be applicable to MY fitness needs.
After adhering to their specific training regiment and training blocks, I will state that their concept is the most effective for immediate results.
Within two weeks I have lost 5 lbs and have felt my energy levels increase dramatically. My mental focus has also benefited due to the interval training. I no longer feel that workout time is dragging due to a break up of the hour. This concept I feel has attributed to my success the most, as it has allowed me to not only focus, but enjoy the workout itself.
Granted, this is only the initial two weeks of training, but it is easy to project the lasting effects of the their workouts on my fitness level and body composition. This form of training can be utilized primarily as a subject's means of fitness or incorporated into any athletic fitness program.
As for my personal training, it is a must for any martial arts practitioner, wrestler or MMA fighter to consider this training to aid in their endurance training, explosive power and weight management.
For more information call The Bootcamp Express 773-293-7103
I will be updating my progress with pictures in the near future.
