"The START fitness program trains the mind to push past its limitations no matter what obstacles are in the way." - Peter Gibbons


"I am hooked!!!!! The thought of becoming athletic is such a motivator. I have never pushed my body in this way before and it feels great (mostly that I can do it- I can do it!....I'm still in amazement). If you would have met me 4 months ago you would have not recognized me...I was a workaholic, 10 lbs heavier, that had not seen the gym for 2 years. I have worked so hard the past 3 months and this is exactly what I need to push me to the next level. Thanks again for the motivation and Boot Camp. Your energy is so contagious!!!! Hooah!" - V.


"Joining Start Fitness bootcamp has been the best thing I've done for myself in a long time. Though the exercises are intense, I keep coming back for more. The entire class gets behind you when you need it most and I have never before been so motivated to work out. The staff is highly invested in my athletic advancement and I am always getting awesome support. It is like having a personal trainer. Every day, I walk away knowing that I just did the best thing to start my day. " - CHRIS R.


"This is one of the strongest and best local programs that I've come across. The program involves all aspects of fitness: weight training, cardio, stamina, and even spirit building." - JESSICA B.


"I′m always looking for something new, exciting, and challenging. The first time I took this class, I knew that I had found all those things. Most importantly, the class is constantly changing and taking us to the next level. I′ve been attending this class for two months or so, but I already notice a huge change in my strength level." - LAUREN


"I′m a Chiropractor and would recommend this Boot Camp class to almost anyone... I feel it is safe. You seem to know just how hard to push each individual as you walk/talk around the class. Your MOTIVATION is incredibly amazing! I have been taking this class for 5 months now and feel it has been time tested. This class has accumulative constructive survival values both physically and mentally! Thanks again." - R.A.D, DC


"The word ′bootcamp′ has a lot of negative images - like yelling and calling people maggots, but Sgt Ken′s class is not like that at all! He gets me - how to motivate me - and that′s probably true for the other people in his class as well. I′ve already noticed changes in my body, my stomach already feels tighter and I′ve only gone a couple times. I was already working out on my own, but wasn′t pushing myself hard enough. I love the way I feel when I go. I can tell I have more energy when I go. And it′s also great having my workout already done with in the morning. AND I can tell that my metabolism has jumped considerably. Definitely I saw some immediate changes to my body after going to Sgt Ken′s bootcamp class." - MARYA S.


"Never in my life have I left a workout class feeling so mentally and physically strong, confident, and fit! When I lived in Southern California, I used to take Billy Blanks tai-bo classes. Although I cannot deny it was a great workout, nothing compares to your Boot Camp class...Because you are so incredibly motivating, you can push your classes to the limit, and people want to perform not only for you, but to prove to themselves that they have what it takes to be one of your soldiers. In all my years of workout classes at various gyms throughout the state of California, Boot Camp ranks number one. Thanks for everything...I′m now addicted to Boot Camp!" - MEGAN P.


"My husband and I did the trial week for this boot camp since it's very close to our home and thus convenient in the mornings. I really enjoyed being pushed to the edge and to experience what I can and cannot do. The trainers, especially Bianca, were really knowledgeable and helpful, also with general tips on how to best treat soreness and what to eat." - A.D. (Yelp Review)


"Simply the best. Sgt Ken's team - Nikki, Bianca and the rest - put you through the most intense, varied and stimulating work out on the planet. And I should know, since I've trained for the past 35 years all over the world. I've been doing Ken's Bootcamp for 8 years, and the core training is what I still use to help me compete in Triathlons, endurance races - and to keep up with my kids these days. Whilst the instruction is very focused it's never in your face; the motivation comes from the group and from yourself. I can not recommend this any more highly." - Julian (Yelp Review)


"The instructors are great!! People attending this bootcamp are at different levels (I consider myself a beginner especially when it comes to running) but as long as I know that I'm doing my best, I'm ok with being "the last one" or "almost last one" to arrive at destination on those running days. If you want a great workout without having to get stuck on the treadmill or being bored at the gym, try Start Fitness, it will kick your a**!!" - Pauline (Yelp Review)


"Amazing workouts. PERIOD. You won′t get bored, You will get in great shape (if you consistently attend). I′ve never been much of a runner, but after a few months of taking the Start Fitness classes, I′ve begun to appreciate the benefits of running, and in a sick sort of a way, look forward to the Tues & Thursday runs. The instructors are fantastic. To me, there′s nothing more de-motivating than seeing an instructor that is out of shape and apathetic. None of that going on at Start! The instructors are in incredible shape, and do a great job of motivating you, and pushing you to the next level without being intimidating. If you REALLY want to get into shape - this is the way to do it." - Kristin S. (Yelp Review)


"HOOAH! I've tried every kind of workout there is (and other bootcamps) and Start Fitness is, by far, the best there is. It's never easy...It's never monotonous, and the instructors are ridiculously in great shape (which is what makes you realize that this is for real). Everyone else in the class makes you want to keep going and give it your all...that is why you're waking up when its still dark outside to workout, isn't it?" - Tabatha


"A truly amazing program that helped me take my fitness to a higher level. The instructors have the ability to put people from all fitness and athletic levels into a position to "max out" their own personal goals and abilities. The classes are constantly challenging, fun, and leave me feeling a mix of completely exhausted and energized from the great workout. Instructors successfully walk the line of being very strong with the motivation techniques while always being positive and uplifting, never singling anyone out in a negative manner." - Sean
