F.A.Q.

  • Is this Boot Camp just like in the military?

    Many people need a big push to get them jump started in fitness. This is why the military approach is successful. There are no put downs, ridicules or downgrading in this training, just encouragement and praise. The camaraderie, team building skills and obstacles make for a mentally and physically challenging program.

  • Why do we pay to do simple exercises?

    I wish to remind you that the exercise programs should respect biological principles since all physical effort has an internal effect (physiological, biochemical, morphologic and psychological). This is why we run a great risk. If we perform an incorrect dosage of exercises, they can negatively affect your body, health, and fitness.

    First, it’s a professional class because of the intelligent creation of a program composed of an innumerable variety of exercises guided to tone all the muscle mass that makes up your body and to reduce your body’s fat composition. The exercises have been chosen to form a routine that, from a biological point of view, provoke a positive effect, and gradually increases in each class making it possible to increase the resistance level and the resistance to force. In addition to that, our instructor, Alain, explains the correct form of performing each exercise, with the objective of accomplishing the best results and avoiding injuries. All of this is accompanied by his never-ending, motivating style that does not allow you to surrender to exhaustion. Secondly, we find that the important social-emotional aspect keeps you actively engaged with the group in a positive and healthy competition until the end of the class unlike when you are alone where tiredness, fatigue and boredom may determine in most cases the length of your exercise session.
