When did the program start?

START Fitness was launched in 1998 by Army National Guard Staff Sergeant and Master Fitness Trainer, Ken Weichert, and has never had a break in service. START Fitness is the longest running Boot Camp fitness program in America! Find out why Mike Shuman of ABC news calls START Fitness, "the best Boot Camp in the country!"

START Fitness is balanced with indoor and outdoor classes:

Indoor classes: START Fitness indoor training days focus on developing your muscular strength and stamina and overall aerobic conditioning. Exercises include body weight exercises such as push-ups, flutter kicks, vertical leg crunches, and partner-assisted exercises, all designed to create muscle definition.

Outdoor classes: START Fitness running days are focused on developing aerobic efficiency. Designed for individuals of all fitness levels, running days cater to first-time runners as well as marathoners. You will find yourself getting into shape, running faster and further, in a short period of time. Our runs are comprised of a mix of steady-paced endurance runs, interval training, hills, stairs and tempo runs all with boot camp flair!
