BOOTCAMP TESTIMONALS

 

I started Bootcamp 6 weeks post partum and within 4 months, I had lost all my baby weight and more.
I have tried a variety of workouts (cycling, weightlifting, aerobics classes) and nothing got me the results like Bootcamp did.
The workout was fun and motivating, rather than something I dreaded doing.
At one point, I lost so much weight and was so fit that I could no longer rely on the scale for measuring results, but rather, had to move to body fat analyses as a motivator.
I am pregnant again and felt so fit and healthy entering this pregnancy. While I am anxious about all the weight that I’ll put on during the pregnancy, I am relieved to know that I have a program to turn to in order for me to get back in the shape of my life.

 

I would definately recommend Boot Camp to anyone who wants to feel better about themselves and get their bodies in better physical condition!
Boot Camp is fun.
JC gives you a variety of exercises, so it’s not the same old boring thing every day you work out. All the exercises, even though odd sometimes, really work out every part of your body. This “different” type of workout makes it fun to get into shape and stay in shape!

 

The word Boot Camp is enough to scare some people.

They hear the word and think pain and abuse. Well, they don’t know the Method Evolution Boot Camp!

When I think of Boot Camp, I think of friends, camaraderie, challenges and SUCCESS!
Sure, there’s sweat and some pain, but you can look around and see that we are all working to towards the same thing – our goals. Everyone has a different reason for joining. My reason was that I had been running and training for marathons for the past 4 years and really not getting anywhere. What I mean by that is that I ran and ran and ran and could not beat a 5 hour 40 minute marathon time. It was pitiful. I thought I was
getting better and stronger, but really, I had reached my peak or so I thoughtI decided that I needed to really kick it up a notch and add some core training to my schedule, so I joined a gym and started going three times a week. I never felt like I got a good workout. I’d be there for an hour or more and would end up spending most of the time on the treadmill because I’d have to wait for the machines (and I hate running on a
treadmill!). By the time it was my turn, I had pretty much cooled down.

I had done a Boot Camp session with Chad in the summer of ‘04, so when I found out that Chad was doing Boot Camp again; I knew this was exactly what I needed. It was outside, with a group of people, and early in the morning. Anyway, let’s just say, I’m addicted to Boot Camp now. I haven’t missed a session since. AND yes, I broke that 5 hour 40 minute barrier and beyond. I did the Texas Marathon Challenge this year. Some
of the times worth mentioning are: San Antonio Marathon in November in 4 hours 48 minutes. Dallas White Rock in December in 4 hours and 36 minutes. Austin Marathon in February in 4:28!!! That’s more than an hour off my best time! I was hoping for a 5:30 or
a 5:15, but a 4:28, not in my wildest dreams!!  I could not have done it without Boot Camp and the support group I had in my fellow Boot Campers and friends. Something about pushing yourself to your limits at 5:00 a.m. creates a great connection. We are all
lost when a Boot Camp session ends;wondering, waiting for the next round. Crazy challenges are thrown at us and we all jump at the chance to do it.
Does the word Boot Camp scare me?

NO, bring it on!
If I can’t do it today, I know I WILL be able to do it one day.

Thank you, Chad! Thank you, Boot Campers!

I have been doing Bootcamp for almost a year and a half and I have seen improvements after each session. I have set physical goals for each session and with Chad’s help, I have achieved most of them. He has been supportive throughout all of the sessions which has really helped.  Don’t get me wrong, there have been days that I haven’t felt like getting up to exercise at 5:00 in the morning. However, the thought that my old
body might return has kept me motivated to stick with the program.

BootCamp has been a social outlet as well as a fitness program for me. I have made new friends who share the same enthusiasm for exercise. As a completive person, I have been challenged by the other BootCampers. I have also seen the importance of teamwork since some of our drills are done in groups.Chad’s style of training is incredibly motivational because of his positive style. He encourages BootCampers to strive for the best and to push themselves. Just when BootCampers think their bodies are unable to stand another set or another lap, Chad is able to encourage us to keep on going. Despite the fact that BootCamp is patterned after military programs, Chad is not a stereotypical “drill sergeant”. One of the things I most appreciate about Chad training techniques is that he does not use derogatory comments as “motivation”.

I plan to continue BootCamp with Chad because I am so happy with what the program has done for me. I have seen dramatic changes in my body due to hard work and Chad’s motivational style. I have more self-confidence because I know I have achieved so much physically and emotionally. I love the camaraderie of my fellow BootCampers and I am inspired by them each day. All of these reasons make it easy for me to recommend Chad’s BootCamp Method Evolution to anyone who is dedicated to improving their body and spirit.

I like that you push me to do things that I would not do if working out alone.  I like that it is not the same ole boring workout – you keep it interesting.
Running is getting easier.  My diet is so much better now.  I have lost all of my baby weight and more.  My clothes (pre-pregnancy) are finally starting to fit!

PERSONAL TRAINING TESTIMONIALS

 

JC is completely dedicated to the success of his clients and I completely “get that” from each workout.  He loves what he does and has developed a program that he’s passionate about sharing with dedicated clients.  His enthusiasm is contagious.
- Debbie Emory, Pearland

 

FROM A PERSONAL LEVEL….You motivate clients to do their best without ever being demeaning or showing disappointment.  You stay positive with clients, you make us feel special, not because it is your job, but in my heart I know that you care about each of us as people first, then as clients.  It is like having your best friend as a trainer.  It is hard work but you make it fun!  I look forward to training because you are fun to be around and the results speak for themself!
- Mike Bonavita, Pearland

 

I will undoubtedbly continue to work with him in the future, particulary when it is time to return to the bikini after baby is born!!!
- Tracy V.G, Pearland

 

In a sentence, through the combination of JC’s programs, I was able to get in the best shape of my life!
I feel so empowered by the knowledge I have gained about nutrition and fitness.
This is something that will stay with me forever.
His program is unique and is unmatched by any gym/health club I have ever been a part of.
Thanks, JC!

TWO TIME “BIGGEST LOSER” WINNER
I used to always tell myself in college that if I were to cross the 200 lb mark, it would be because I was working out and gaining lots of lean muscle.  Eight years after I graduated, I found myself tipping the scales at 220 and it wasn’t because I was in shape.  
With a two year old daughter and a baby boy on the way, I decided it was time for a change.  

 

To help me stay motivated, I helped organize an office “Biggest Loser” competition.  The rules were simple…the person with the largest overall weight loss percentage won the pot which was around $400.  The money was a good incentive, but the competition was what really drove me to succeed.  My starting weight was 218 lbs and the weigh-ins were every Monday for 12 weeks.  
Mondays were purposely chosen to make sure we were “good” on the weekends.

I started my change by eating better foods and watching my portion control.  My two biggest weaknesses when it comes to eating are portion size and sweets.  I cut out sweets entirely from my diet, drank plenty of water throughout the day, ate five to six meals a day, and made sure to get plenty of vegetables and lean proteins at lunch and dinner.  My will power was tested many times with snacks or desserts, but I stayed true to my goal and continued on my path to success.  I tricked myself into thinking that if I slipped up a little, it would hinder my efforts even more in the long run.  I really believed that one dessert would cause more harm in reaching my goals than was worth the instant satisfaction.

While I was changing my eating habits, I also started running.  I started by running a mile.  Each day I would try to run that mile faster than the day before even if it was only by a few seconds.  By week two I had pushed myself to running two miles.  By week three, I was running a 5k at least twice a week and filling in the rest of the week with two mile runs around the neighborhood.  I made a commitment to myself to do everything I could to lose weight and made no excuse for running.  I ran if it was early, late, raining, or even if I was traveling for work.

By week four of the competition, I noticed that I had hit a small plateau with my weight loss.  I started looking for other workout options in addition to running to help push me over the edge.  This is when I came across Method Evolution BootCamp.  After the first early morning
session, I was hooked.  The hour long, high intensity workout is just what I needed.  I felt stronger, had more energy, and left each morning feeling good about myself and the results I was starting to see.  The best part about BootCamp is that you do everything at your own pace.  There are many different fitness levels and body types in the class, but everyone works out as hard as they can.  There is no yelling, profanity, or degrading comments like you might expect when you hear the word “BootCamp”.  Instead there is a meticulously thought out training session to maximize your body’s fat burning potential while at the same time toning and sculpting all of your muscles and problem areas.

At the end of twelve weeks, I weighed in at 184 lbs and won office “Biggest Loser” competition.  I lost 33 lbs in 12 weeks and by eating right and working out daily.  I could not have done it without JC Guidry and Method Evolution.

Several months later, my office wanted to start another “Biggest Loser” competition.  Since I got a lot of flak for winning the first competition, I decided to enter this one as well just to prove that the first time wasn’t a fluke.  I stopped working out and started eating bad again just to skew my starting weigh in so that I had a fighting chance at winning again.  I started this eight week competition at 200 lbs.  I knew this time I would need even more help than before to win, so I enrolled in BootCamp and Personal Training session with JC Guidry.

To make a long story short, I ended up losing 26 lbs to win my second straight competition.  I am now officially retired from weight loss competitions because I don’t plan on needing to lose weight ever again.  In all, I went from 218 lbs to 174 lbs for a total weight loss of 44 lbs.  Once again, I could  not have done it without the guidance, nutritional advice, and training sessions from JC Guidry.  My body has completely changed for the better.  I actually have definition in my arms, legs, and stomach.  The best part about it all is that I haven’t stopped working out.  I plan to get in even better shape by continuing to work out and eat well using the tools and advice that JC Guidry has given me.

You’re patient and kind but structured and serious at the same time.  You always offer encouragement during our workouts which motive me to want to complete my sets and I seriously believe you want us to look and feel our best even when it’s tough for us to think we can totally accomplish that.
My clothes are more comfortable, I’m stronger, my cholesterol has decreased, I’m more conscience of my body, I’ve lost inches, I feel better and my level of stress has decreased.
