or the serious results these bootcampers are seeing (even the mayor’s going).

FGP cannot lie and say she loved every minute of the exercises at bootcamp, but she enjoyed the company and the camaraderie this group seems to have. If you’re like FGP, you’re maybe not so likely to spend Saturday mornings doing repeated sets of dips, squats, pushups, sprints and lunges. So signing up for something like this might shame you into going because everyone will know if you punk out.

Accountability is a good thing. They can’t promise you’ll love every minute (or the sore muscles after), but they do promise that if you show up for your three sessions a week, you’ll get results. And a cool T-shirt.
