Train­ers

BC4C vol­un­teer Train­ers are boot camp vet­er­ans and have an aver­age of five years expe­ri­ence guid­ing boot campers to ful­fill their max­i­mum potential.

Andrew Whit­ney

Andrew has been doing boot camp for 10 years and he really hates it. Boot camp made him quit smok­ing and watch what he eats. He has no idea why he’s here.

Lau­ren Mross

Lau­ren has been play­ing in the park since spring ’06. After tak­ing a break dur­ing ’08 and part of ’09 to kick Thy­roid Can­cer in the booty, she is back and ready to make a dif­fer­ence! Get­ting the chance to make new friends — and see them shine — moti­vate her daily.

Andy Abend

A 7 year boot camp vet­eran, Andy’s favorite thing about boot camp is get­ting to work out out­doors with great peo­ple.  Plus, he’s a morn­ing person.

Bran­don Floyd

Ask Bran­don about his bio.

Daniel Sweeney

This feisty Libra enjoys long sprints through the park, the feel of dirt in his shorts, and work­outs that take his breath away. A reg­u­lar at boot camp since April ’08, Daniel is always look­ing for chal­lenge and some­one to play with. He can be found early morn­ings break­ing a sweat and mak­ing a dif­fer­ence with BC4C.

Kara Land

Kara rocks. Enough said.

Kath­leen Gosden

Kath­leen also rocks. More to come!

Leigh Farr

Leigh first came out to the park in ’08. As a recre­ational run­ner boot camp has helped him set PRs at all dis­tances he has raced. He looks for­ward to see­ing sim­i­lar improve­ments in the campers, even if it means run­ning their first 5k.

Mary Cromer

Mary (AKA: MC or Thun­der n’ Lightin’) is a vet­eran Trainer known for her con­ta­gious enthu­si­asm and her bound­less celebrity gos­sip! She enjoys encour­ag­ing oth­ers and hav­ing a good time while get­ting a great workout.

Mary Ellen Gordon

Mary Ellen became one of those “boot camp peo­ple” in Spring ’08 and just can’t quit it. She loves that ‘fit’ feel­ing. And the cama­raderie. And see­ing peo­ple trans­form. And…

Robin Yamakawa

Bored with solo jogs and strug­gling to find moti­va­tion to work­out, Robin joined boot camp in July ’08. Since then she’s got­ten fit­ter, faster and found there’s no bet­ter way to start the day than sweat­ing and shar­ing laughs along­side friends.

Susan Kel­ley

Although she was never a morn­ing per­son, Susan started boot camp on Hal­loween ’06 and never looked back! Becom­ing a Trainer in April ’08 was a thrill that has never dimin­ished. Susan believes that work­ing out with this amaz­ing group of Train­ers and campers in beau­ti­ful Pied­mont Park con­tin­ues to be a blast!

Work­outs

Our work­outs are built on a the­ory called muscle-confusion, designed for you to get the most out of your work­out because your body doesn’t get into a routine.

Work­outs are the right com­bi­na­tion of tough and fun, and are scal­able to your level of fit­ness. There is never a work­out you can’t accomplish.

And if you have an injury or pre-existing con­di­tion that pre­vents you from doing a cer­tain type of exer­cise, just let us know and we offer alter­na­tives to make sure you get a great workout.

Nutri­tion

Eat­ing well is crit­i­cal to your over­all well­ness. We help you make sure you are fuel­ing your body prop­erly to reach your fit­ness goals.

There’s def­i­nitely truth to the old say­ing, “you are what you eat.” If you stick to a meal plan full of vit­a­mins and min­er­als your body will reflect it. If your diet con­sists of junk food and is void of the basic prin­ci­ples of good nutri­tion, the result may be fatigue and poor health. Under­stand­ing the con­nec­tion between your health, your active­ness, and your diet will help you make bet­ter dietary choices every day.

At BC4C, we real­ize that there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to spe­cific diet plans; how­ever, basic prin­ci­ples of healthy eat­ing remain con­sis­tent regard­less of how they are “pack­aged” within a book, blog or lat­est fad diet. Basic nutri­tion guide­lines from the U.S. Depart­ment of Agri­cul­ture (USDA) can be used as your frame­work for healthy eating.

When you first join BC4C, you will receive a fit­ness jour­nal with nutri­tional advice and space to log your daily meals. When you put pen to paper, you turn your thoughts into some­thing tan­gi­ble. That’s why we strongly encour­age you to track your diet and fit­ness goals by writ­ing them down. You will quickly see how the act of writ­ing these things down helps keep you moti­vated. Here’s a handy PDF that you can print to track your meals, goals and progress (print page 11 to track your meals)…
