LiveFit Boot Camp

I have participated in LiveFit for over a year now and I would without a doubt recommend it to all — no matter your fitness level or age. I attend the Healdsburg 9am class with Jeff most often and he is very knowledgable and friendly. The other trainers… Jaron, Mark, and everyone are all awesome as well.
I was a college athlete and boot camp has provided me with better, smarter workouts. I have a bad back injury as well and because of the trainers’ experience, lead, and core exercises I don’t have the normal pain.
The exercises change daily and new ones are added often. I would highly recommend LiveFit over a gym membership, not only is it more enjoyable to be outside but it is social, fun, and more result-​driven. The price is right too, and no matter what the class size is there is always 1 on 1 coaching… it is like having a personal trainer.

Update.
Much has changed in barely over a year since I wrote that review. When I wrote my initial review, I meant the entire thing. Mainly because of the trainer I had at the time, who is no longer with LiveFit.
Although I personally didn’t experience any significant backlash from quitting LiveFit and «breaking» a «contract», there were a number of people who did experience an incredibly unprofessional side of the company when attempting to quit.

My wife and I tried out LFBC after seeing a Groupon deal. We did the Santa Rosa camp for about a year and only stopped because we moved out of the area, otherwise we loved the program and have not found another one like it.
The highlights:
— Trainers who are very real/​down to earth. Each one was different, but the approach of tailoring the workouts to my wife’s and my individual abilities was the same.
— Variety: never got board with the workouts and different equipment (provided)
— Convenience: lots of different times/​places for when we had a schedule change in our normal routine.
— Pacing: breaks between sessions was really nice, not a constant grind, felt balanced.
— Motivation between classes via Facebook, at least with the trainers we had.
There is no perfect bootcamp, just the perfect one for you. LFBC is definitely worth a shot.

This program is awesome! I wasn’t sure what to expect when I signed up, I thought it might be some big scary man yelling at you in a gym, but it’s so much better.
I love that the work out is outside, I overheat way too fast inside and it’s been perfect at 5:30 am. Mark is awesome, rolls with the punches and won’t push you past your breaking point. He makes a point of learning everyone’s names and uses them throughout the hour. I like that every workout isn’t the same and the hour seems to fly by. The group also has something to do with that, a lot of banter and camaraderie. Great people to work out alongside.
I’ve only done a week, but I can tell that my cardio and strength has improved. We did a benchmark to compare our fitness to the last week of the session. I really like that idea that you can look at a tangible number of how much you improve.
I highly recommend at least trying it for a month. I am by no means a morning person and I drag my lazy ass out of bed (almost) every morning, might even start going in the evenings!

I’m a 18 year old female. I took the Groupon Deal $ 45 for a month. It was discounted from $ 219. The trainer was Sheli @ Howarth Park at 9am. She is great and everyone is very friendly. She taught me a lot about form. I joined so I don’t have to workout alone at home or get distracted and learn to wake up early. Which worked. Because I would always sleep in! I can say my form is much better and everyone was friendly. But I would also have to agree with one of the people below saying that at $ 219 a month, it is way too much for me to afford. Especially since I’m only a student. I also have been recently been taking yoga classes, so I will end up paying to almost $ 400 a month if I decided to stay with both! I just recently signed up for a gym. And I love it and it is A LOT cheaper. I would recommend LiveFit for middle age people looking to have good workouts with groups of people who are friendly. And who wants to start and have a little push when it comes to working out. As for me, I have done Insanity and although im sweating at bootcamp, I feel like crying in Insanity sometimes because Shaun T, the creator can be tough! If you don’t know what Insanity is, it is a 63 home workout high intensity program with no weights. I love the program, but it is tough and I can’t do that for the rest of my life! But you do get results which I love. And my face gets RED in Insanity. Which I can do for free at home at any time compare to $ 219 a month for LiveFit bootcamp. It was decently good workouts, especially since running was involve which I HATE! It just was not the results I been looking for. I give this a decent rating of at least 3.5 stars.
CONS
Few reasons is because of
–price range, where I can pay $ 10-​$ 40 for a gym membership and go on my own time and make my own routine.
Another reason is because the
–program does off-​week. Which basically is every 4 weeks there is off-​week. I was finished with my second week and then all of a sudden it was off-​week. Which is making me lose my consisty to working out everyday and makes me feel lazy! I joined so I can be consistent and c’mon it is «LiveFit BOOTCAMP». If anything, I have learned from completing Insanity is that Shaun T. have taught me
to DIG DEEPER. You will be surprised what your body can do. Bootcamp is for you to workout hard. The only break we should get is rest days! Not a whole week!
–I always had to carry my own weights and bring my mat which was annoying. And depending on what workouts we’re doing, I would need 5 pound dumbells or 8 pound dumbells. So bringing my own mat and weights was a hassle compare to the gym where it is already provided. Tip & Update-​I have been going to the gym now, and gosh those 5 pounds and 8 pounds dumbbells feel like nothing anymore! I am now using 20s ;). The gym has all the dumbbells you need. If you stick with this, you are just going to have to keep on buying new dumbbells.
–I had to do an orientation which took me awhile to get a hold of Rick, not too long but not quickly either.
–The workouts routine was similar to Insanity/​Focus T25 combines minus the running from Shaun T. So honestly, I don’t need to pay to do the same workouts.
PROS
–Live Trainers to help you on form. Form is VERY important! You don’t want to injure yourself. These trainers will teach and show you the right way :)
–They prepare your workouts.
(Then again you can always look online or workout DVDs)
–You workout with a group, so you won’t be working out alone.
–People are friendly and don’t judge
–Outdoor. Not in a stuffy gym. (However, it can get really cold sometimes)
Sorry this is a long review, but I want to be honest and give details to people looking to join. Because I would have appreciated if someone did the same. My experience wasn’t bad nor was it what I was looking for. And I’m sure people have gotten some great results. But of course you are if you barely started working out and been doing it for awhile. I was reading other reviews and saw someone said they lost 10 pounds and been doing it for a year. Hmm… if you add it up, it is thousands of dollar. Where you can do home workouts for much much cheaper or go to the gym and lose just as much or more! However I did really love getting a thank you card for trying bootcamp. I thought it was really sweet and made me feel welcome. However, at 18, lifting weights at the gym is where I think I should be. DIG DIPPER! ;’)

LiveFit Boot Camp was one of the most horrible experiences I have ever had with a company. The owners and trainers have no common courtesy to return phone calls, texts, or FaceBook messages for weeks. Yes, I tried them all in hopes that they would get back to me. Took my money after my very trusting trainer canceled my contract. He would always post on FaceBook when I was or wasn’t at camp. Was motivating at first but then a bit annoying. He was very good about keeping his own agenda could never get back to me for some reason. When things weren’t working out for my baby son, he said that everything was fine and that my contract was cancelled. I finally got communication from one of the owners after my account was incorrectly charged for two months when I did NOT attend bootcamp. I was not refunded even after terminating my contract. I do not recommend them. Plenty of gyms out there that offer the same kind of training for half the price – if that!

These guys are amazing. The entire staff is friendly, and I felt no judgments for not being as in-​shape as I would like. In addition, my friend was in better shape, and she found a great workout with them as well. Good for all ranges of fit.

Its ok if your a beginner and havent done any Calisthetics but I felt it was expensive and I do the work out at home. Didnt even break a sweat.

I’m not clueless about working out, but my gym routine had become exactly that, routine. I had plateaued and wasn’t seeing any progress in my results.
It has been a long time since I’ve been so sore with that hurt so good feeling you used to get back during high school sports. Jeff and Jarron of Santa Rosa Boot Camp are really great at kicking your butt into shape. A hills and valleys approach, with some days being a lighter challenge, but they are much appreciated after a rough day.
I never though I’d say this, but I’ve started to enjoy waking up for the 5:30AM work outs. Even in the 2^nd week I’m seeing results and feeling great. The motivation you receive goes beyond your workout session and carries throughout the day, assisted by those sore little muscles reminding you of how well you are doing.
I’m very glad I signed up for this and recommend it to anyone who is bored at the gym or just doesn’t know how to start achieving their fitness goals. Boot Camp rocks!
