You have decided to enlist in a Toronto Boot Camp but the Internet is a minefield of boot camps of all shapes, sizes, prices and locations. Wherever you live or work in the Greater Toronto Area, there is a boot camp that will issue marching orders exactly to your specifications and requirements. Here are a few things to consider when choosing a boot camp for fun, exercise, and companionship.
The first and probably the most important criteria for many people anxious to participate in the boot camp experience is money. This is of prime importance, especially if you’re not sure you’re 100 per cent committed yet. To be honest, it’s a good chunk of change, but you’re paying for a professional fitness expert to lead you through the trenches to a new partnership with your body. Think of these experts as your General. If you want to get the most for your money, find a large class in a large space.
Boot camp is not personal training. You’re just a soldier in the army of out of shape people looking to improve themselves. The cost is also dependent on the length of your boot camp. Expect to pay between $300 and $500 for your camp, depending on whether it’s four, six or eight weeks in duration.
When deciding on how long you need your camp to run, ask yourself what you want at the end of it. Would a four-week boot camp get you revved up and pumped to carry on? Perhaps six-weeks would create the results you need to keep going or would eight-weeks help you shed that 10 to 15 pounds before a wedding or other special event?
The time of year is a key factor. Do your research and see if your Toronto boot camp has an indoor and outdoor component. When the winds sweep across Lake Ontario, you may not want to be sprinting up Yonge Street on a lovely February day, or slipping through snow first thing in the morning up in Newmarket before hopping on the train to come into the city.
Either way, a lot of professionals book space in church halls and school gyms – any space that’s large and warm. You don’t have to find a boot camp in a trendy facility. Boot camp is about discipline and hard work, not about being “seen”.
When researching your boot camp and the best time of day to enlist in one, take your personality into account. If you’re the type of person who hits the snooze button over and over again in the morning, choose a lunchtime or late afternoon boot camp. Don’t agonize about second-hand advice that says you shouldn’t exercise late in the day. What’s best for you is what works. Success is the key, so find a camp that works for you and your lifestyle. Some boot camps are set up for young mothers who can bring their children in their strollers. You just have to take the time to do some digging.
No matter where you are in the GTA, or even if you’re a commuter out there in Oshawa, or as far west as Hamilton, you’re sure to find a exercise boot camp that will offer you an increase in self-esteem and ultimately success. Enlist in a Toronto adult boot camp today. You’re well worth the investment.
