There were two 'trigger points' that opened my eyes & initiated a desire to take control of my health by joining The Camp Transformation Center. Last November 2016, I was diagnosed with Hypertension (high-blood pressure) and put on medication. My BP was averaging 145/95. At 5'1" I was about 180 lbs. at that time. A month later, a 50-y/o Teacher co-worker who loved to eat Mexican food for lunch daily had a sudden heart attack while on a morning walk. He died. I was on a taco binge at the time and prided myself in finding the best ones in town. After the 2016 holidays were over, I reached a point of absolute dissatisfaction with my physical self, and knew I had to change. It was affecting me mentally, physically, emotionally, financially, spiritually, and I was exhausted. I picked up the phone & called Edward Lucero to whine about my personal dissatisfaction. Edward encouraged me to look-up The Camp on Facebook. Edward just completed a 20-lb Challenge successfully, and was on his way to becoming a TC Trainer. I refused, and was not up for joining 'another gym.' Two days later, I attended an Orientation at The Camp - Chula Vista (Eastlake) and was oriented by Celina Valencia, who shared her personal testimony and instilled a sense of Hope in Me. I signed up on the spot. My Journey with The Camp began on 2/27/17 with a 6-Week 20-lb Challenge. I struggled with cooking, meal-prepping, eating foods that were new to me, eating on a schedule, drinking lots of water, and dealing with mood swings while trying to be a mama, work, and make it to all the workout sessions required by the challenge. It was a vertical climb of a learning process... but I stuck it through... and learned a lot about myself - tolerance, patience, persistence, discipline, will, desire, choices, habits, past eating habits, cultural impacts, and more. I lost 17.6 lbs in 6 weeks. I signed up for a 5-Week 15-lb Alumni Challenge immediately after and lost another 17.6 lbs. I am now a Member of The Camp and am challenging myself on the last 20-lbs. I have to lose. This is my 1st Week and I am down another 2.4 lbs. It's a process, and there are sooo many victories BEYOND what's presenting on the scale. The Camp Transformation Center has made me stronger than I started... in every way imaginable. I am down 27.2 lbs as of today, I no longer have Hypertension so no more meds, I have an incredible amount of Energy, I am wearing jeans I hadn't fit in since 2011, and I am a HAPPIER person!!! The Camp Transformation Center has *transformed* my Life and I am FOREVER THANKFUL to God for giving me the Will, Strength, and Courage, my children for putting up with my changes in foods and moods, Edward, Celina, the Directors, the Trainers, the friends I have made at various Camp locations, my family, friends, and co-workers who witnessed and supported me along the way. If YOU are ready to Change Your Life, The Camp Transformation Center's system will get you to your goals! You just have to be a Coachable Student with a Will to Win for Yourself & Your Family!!! read more

I want to start by giving God all the honor and glory for giving me the strength in these past 6 weeks of my first challenge. This journey started On super bowl Sunday when my cousins Brianna and Emily Sanchez invited me to visit the Moreno Valley camp early Sunday morning and I was so impressed by the way the trainer that day conducted the session and motivated the class. To be honest I was not able to watch the super bowl comfortably because my body was beat up but I was determined to investigate if there was a similar camp in San Diego. To my surprise there was one in Chula Vista so I decided to email the camp and find out more about the program. I went and signed up and started my first 6 week challenge on February 29th. I was so impressed with the atmosphere and the welcome to the camp I got during sign up. They make you feel like you are starting to be part of a new family. I want to thank the camp director Tanya the camp Sites for being so patient and answering my 1000 questions I had every time. I was so unsure if I really wanted to do this but let me tell you I don't regret it at all. Into my first week I was about to throw in the towel on Thursday but the trainer that day Andrew gave me words of encouragement and convinced me to not leave and stay and just continue with my progress. I only got to say that if it wouldn't have been for him taking the time to talk to me that afternoon I wouldn't have been writing this review. The Camp has started to change my life and more certainly will be a lot healthier in the near future. During my first 6 week challenge I have melted 34 lbs and I feel great and motivated to start my second 6 week challenge. The director, staff, trainers and members there are very supportive and motivate you to keep going as we are all there to meet our goal of getting healthier and transforming our health. The Camp is definitely the place to go if you are looking to change your life style. I also want to thank my wife for all her meal prepping and her support through this journey and can't forget about my friend and co worker Arianda who motivated me as well to join the camp. To all my Fb friends and family who continually have to see my check ins and my progress. I pray to God that he gives me the strength and will power to continue I this path of a healthier life style. Lastly I want to thank you all for all your support during this journey. God bless! #Join the movement read more

Before starting the camp I weighed 220 pounds...I ALSO only stood 5'2 (not the best picture) I looked in the mirror and would ask..how did I get this way.... I felt broken and like I was barely keeping myself together..through a lot of self reflection I finally built the courage to do something about it. I had a goal in my head to loose weight but unfortunately had no real idea how to do it. I lost 10 lbs on my own in about 2 months. Then I heard of the camp and decided.."why not? I've tried everything else" 3 successful 20 lb challenges later I look back and smile with that decision. I have found one of my favorite places on earth. The Camp has changed my life in more ways than I can even imagine but I'll name the three most important ones. 1. Confidence I lacked SO HARD in self confidence. I remember for a while I would HIDE mirrors in my room just to avoid facing myself. Now, i look in the mirror and feel pride for my accomplishments and hard work I've dedicated for my health. 2. Strength I lacked in mental and physical strength. My willpower was so shattered that eating became my outlet and one of the only times I felt happy. Walking up my stairs in my house made me out of breathe. Now, I eat to fuel my body for energy to kill my workouts! I sprint up my stairs with ease. 3. LOVE I had lost so much love for myself. And The fear of rejection kept me from loving others. It pains my heart looking back and seeing how DARE I DID THAT! (: The Camp has helped me love myself SO much AND the people in it who have helped me along my journey. Iv built better friendships, a better relationship with my parents, and an amazing relationship with my boyfriend. All the love I have received from the camp filled up my heart and allowed me to open up more as a person . And now I love with no fear. The Camp has not only transformed my body, but my LIFE. read more

I have been an active member with The Camp Transformation Center for over a year now and have completed two Six Week challenges (20 Lbs. and Hardbody) successfully. For the 20 lbs. challenge, I lost a total of 24 lbs. in six weeks. For the Hard Body Challenge, I lost 10 lbs. and 5.8% body fat. Since the beginning, I have nothing but great experiences with the members and staff and the results have been overwhelmingly amazing! Recently, my wife also completed the Hard Body Challenge successfully and she too, became a member. We've learned to eat healthier and have gotten stronger mentally and physically and made new friends. The Camp is a positive and friendly atmosphere where everyone treats everyone as family. The trainers and staff are very supportive and always available to answer questions whether on messenger, Facebook or even a random visit in the office. The workouts may be difficult at first for those who have not experienced them but they do get easier as you progress. The trainers can and will provide modifications for each exercise for those who are not as experienced. The food plan may take some getting used to but eventually you will learn to adapt. There are several recipes available through the Facebook page and the support from all members and staff for you to be successful on your journey to a healthier lifestyle. As a successful challenger, I recommend The Camp Transformation Center to anyone who is ready to make a change for themselves. I encourage you to come by to check it out and sit in on one of the meetings to see what The Camp is all about... read more

The Camp Transformation center is an awesome place to learn how proper exercise and diet can result in weight and body fat loss. The trainers and camp staff are always welcoming and motivating you to try hard. The trainers there are awesome in how they take the time to show you how to properly do exercises and differentiate for different levels. Every time I attended a workout I felt I was challenged and given enough modeling and support to learn how to exercise properly. The workouts were definitely grueling but every time I finished I felt stronger and motivated to continue. One of the other great things about the camp is that everyone working out stays positive and helps to motivate you throughout. I never felt alone there, unlike other gyms, everyone there has either been through a challenge or is going through one and knows the value in positive energy and building a community. Two weeks in to the 6 week challenge I stopped feeling bloated all the time after eating and started realizing how horribly I was eating prior to the challenge. I learned so much from the diet about what my body needs to survive and what it can do without. The program they have at The Camp is definitely comprehensive with the diet and exercise plan and combined with the effort you put in to create results and really transform your health and body. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking to make a change in their lives and willing to put in the work to do so. read more

When my husband first told me that he wanted to try this program out I was a little skeptical. I was unsure if I could realistically hit the goal weight for the initial challenge. What made me even more doubtful was that I needed to hit my BMI weight to fully complete the challenge, which meant multiple challenges. This was something that my husband felt confident that we could both achieve and wanted it to be something we succeeded in together. So, I signed the contract and it was the best choice I could have made. I could not be any happier to say that I completed my first challenge with a 24.2 loss and look forward to my second challenge. The Eastlake camp center is filled with amazing staff and members that fill the air with positivity and meaningful purpose to help each person achieve their goal. I do need to mention FTDI. If you put out all the negativity then staying true to FTDI really isn't that difficult. I will admit that it does require a lot of time and dedication but, it is all worth it in the end. I enjoy cooking and I started creating my own recipes and preparing the foods differently. I am very proud of the variations I was able to incorporate into our meals. Also, being a part of the group page on FB was extremely helpful because there were many like minded individuals and I was able to ask questions and learn from them. When people ask if it's worth it, "Yes, a million times, Yes". This is the place to be to transform. read more

This place has completely changed my life for the better in many ways. I started at the camp on July 25 taking on the 20 in 42 challenge. I remember walking in for my first class thinking can I really do this? is this even for me?since I have shoulder injuries on both shoulders. As I was doing my first workouts there were a lot of things I couldn't do and all the trainers were very understanding to my situation and helped me with a lot of modifications but I was able to get through it. It was hard but let's face it nothing that comes easy is worth having right? I was surprised because it's not like your average gym where u go and workout and feel like everyone is judging you. They make you feel like family there were times where I wanted to give up but my fellow campers pushed me through a lot of my workouts. They really do make you feel like your family and I love that because you start getting more comfortable and start pushing even harder. That camp has also made me look at "Diets" differently it's not a "diet" it's a lifestyle change. They make it easy for you to be successful in the long run not just 20 pounds I totally see food differently now before I would look at it as comport now I see it as ok I need to fuel my body which is the way we should all see it I think. I would recommend the camp to anyone who is tired of being tired and are looking for a life changing experience. Love the read more

About 18 weeks ago I saw my friend complete her second challenge. During the first challenge I saw all of her posts about working out at the Camp in Chula Vista and the pictures with the trainer's. I was skeptical but I supported her and liked her posts and cheered her on. At the end of her second challenge she posted before and after pictures. There was a dramatic difference and she looked great. She was fit, her arms were toned, she was 40lbs lighter and she was happy. I we want skeptical anymore. I watched her transformation and that was proof it works. She told me I just needed to make the decision to do it and stick with it. I signed up that week and went to orientation. I didnt even need to listen to the introduction. I knew I wanted this. I met a really great group of trainers that cared about my fitness and my goals. They whooped my butt into shape and never let me give up when things got tough. They offered a tremendous support group which helped me my entire 6 weeks. The best decision I ever made for myself was joining the Camp in Chula Vista and becoming apart of the AFF. I hope my transformation inspires others just like my friend inspired me. Thank you to all the staff at the Camp. You guys are amazing! read more

The camp has been amazing for me! I have never thought of myself as a strong or athletic person. I struggled with weight management, especially in the last couple of years. It got to the point that I had literally no energy and the one 'sporty' thing I did enjoy (snow-skiing), I couldn't even do because I was so out of shape. I now work out 5 days a week and love it. I always hated going to the gym and jogging or running more than a 1/2 hour on a regular basis was never happening for me. I love that I can just show up to the classes with these awesome friendly instructors that are encouraging me and all of the people in the class are just like me, out of shape and just working on themselves. None of the weird 'gym' vibes I get at a regular gym. The diet itself was tough those 6 weeks but it was very specific and there was no ambiguity so I knew exactly what to eat and when to eat it. It taught me some good habits about meal planning and prepping as well so I now don't just go out to eat 2 or 3 times a week. Which cost me a fortune! I'm so glad for the experience and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to make a lifestyle change for the better! read more

I learned about The Camp Transformation Center from a friend's Facebook posts. I started my challenge on April 17, 2017. I was the heaviest I'd ever been and was feeling unhealthy. My clothes were getting tight and for the first time in my life, I had to buy new jeans because the ones I'd been wearing for years didn't fit anymore. I signed up for the Hardbody Challenge. During my six week challenge, I was able to lose 5.5% body fat and 25 pounds! Not only do I feel way healthier, but I also learned that eating healthy is not as hard as I thought. So many times, I have failed to plan my day and ended up in a drive thru line at a fast food restaurant. The Camp taught me the importance of meal planning and planning to succeed. The trainers were also amazing! The workouts were always different. I didn't know how I would like the group workout session, but it actually worked out great. Whether you have never worked out a day in your life, or you are used to working out, the trainers will push you and you will get in a good workout. I highly recommend the Camp Transformation Center to anyone who's looking for that extra push to live a healthy lifestyle. read more

04SEPT2017: Final weigh in day and I lost exactly 15lbs (2 dress sizes and 4-5 inches) in 6 weeks. I didn't win over the target weight but I have more gains than loosing this challenge. I HAVE TRANSFORMED! The most important complement I had is when my hubby said I look slimmer & healthier than when I first started, that itself is a WIN for me I have gained an Awesome Fit Family at The Camp Eastlake. New found friends having the same fitness goals and of course good old friends that has supported me along the way. The challenge has helped me start on my lifestyle change & good eating habits. I have more energy now & complain less of my usual backaches. I feel stronger! This is not the end I'm just getting started with my journey to good health & wellness. Being fit and healthy is priceless! Thank you to my hubby & twin daughters for keeping me #FTDI when we eat, Eastlake Trainers & my #AFF at #Beastlake I'll see you all on our usual 5AM grind!

I just finished my 6 week challenge almost a week ago. I have always been a pretty active, high adrenalin, type of girl. However, gyms just weren't my thing. I did STEP aerobics at home and tons of hiking and trail running. However, a little over a year ago, I got into an accident and could not workout for almost a year. Once I did start back, I had a hard time staying focused and was really bored. Needing to lose the 10lbs I had gained and my wedding fast approaching, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and give The Camp a try. It's a gym like no other. Everyone is from all ages, all levels of fitness, and on their own journey. The support of highly motivating and knowledgeable trainers and the support of one another, makes it feel like family and that makes it work. When one succeeds, all succeed. The victory of accomplishing a full round of wall walks is only made sweeter by those around me, that cheered me on and understood my tears of hard work. I was successful in my Hardbody challenge and am completely addicted. The Camp is changing lives in a positive direction. To be a part of that, would be a blessing. read more

Joining THE CAMP has been one of the best decisions I have ever made!! I am a BIG TIME procrastinator!! I love getting involved in projects and then get bore and move on...The camp wasn't one of these "projects" ... Six weeks and I continue looking forward to a class every morning! Yes, the money is a big deal... BUT it certainly wasn't what motivated me every morning...my motivation was ME, the feeling I got after completing each class, after struggling to do a push up or a wall walk!! Tomorrow is my last weigh in for the 6 week challenge...did I loose the 20lbs? I have no idea, but as of last Monday I was 8lbs short but i don't care because instead of loosing 20lbs I have gained soooo much more... I am a different person and not because I lost 13lbs and I look a little different but because something has finally clicked inside of me... Big thank you to the coaches and the people that like me woke up at 4:00am to make it to a 5:00am class... It's been Awesome!! Looking forward to the next couple of weeks, months or years at the camp because the camp is no more a challenge...it's part of my new lifestyle (: read more

First of all, I would like to thank the Chula Vista Transformation Center for making me a successful individual in my weight management! Thanks to my Elite Trainers Ezra, Maria, Cam, Shea, Brad and our Director Tanya for giving me all their support. Not only did I make friends but I've gained a family. Their positive attitudes make me feel welcomed. My workout buddies are always there for me. I am pleased to be 21.6 lbs. lighter in 6 weeks. I could not have done it without them. Through my journey, I have learned to eat healthy and stay fit. I still need more work but I'll give it my all. Although I went through some hard times the first two days, from having sore muscles, headaches and vomiting and wanting to quit because I thought it was hard. I realized that my body was going through some changes and that I was not a quitter. I learned it was a natural body reaction from the changes I had made. I used to be a real junk food eater and decided to be a healthy person. I'm ecstatic and hope that many of you decide to make the same healthy decision I made. Like we say at the camp "Can't stop, won't stop!" read more

I haven't really worked out at a gym much before (don't get me wrong I paid fees for months and never went). I just never knew what to do at the gym (elliptical usually). I was probably a little intimidated too, but my experience here was different. I did the 6 week challenge and the Camp admin provides a food plan & the trainers craft the circuit workouts. The thing I noticed about the Camp was that from the first day I went, I felt a camrodery from the folks there. In shape or not, it was like we were all just working hard toward our fitness goals - no shame. Also, I think the trainers make ALL the difference with their varying different styles. Soon I was eating differently and going to the gym most days. This wasn't easy and I felt so out of it the first couple of weeks, my body ached. I've since improved and I'm not struggling quite as much, but I must say it still isn't easy, but it's fun going. Also, I was fortunate to roll over into the next challenge, and I feel like this isn't just a challenge but a lifestyle I want to maintain. read more

I have been struggling with my weight all my life. I have always been active and eating what I thought was healthy. I came across The transformation camp from my friend that had taken the 6weeks challenge. I went to the orientation and asked so many questions and made sure I understood the rules and what they require you to do. I was hesitant at first because of how much work it would be but thought it was a great incentive to lose weight. It was the BEST decision I have ever made! I lost 21lbs in 6 weeks stayed true to eating healthy and working out. The trainers and front desk is so awesome! I noticed there was different ages, weight and limitations. Loved how they modified things for everyone to make sure everyone was safe and comfortable. The trainers push you and encourage you to keep trying. I feel so much cleaner, leaner and stronger than ever! This system works. I am so much happier. I am truly grateful to the transformation camp. Thank you Eastlake Camp! read more

I just completed my first 6 week challenge. I am very excited to announce I melted a total of 25.6 pounds. Doing this challenge has been the best decision I have made for myself. This isn't a diet, it's a lifestyle change. This is exactly what I needed to get on the right track to a healthy success. Before I made the decision of doing the 6 week challenge, I would see other peoples accomplishments on the challenge. I would tell myself that could be me! That's when I decided to do it. Boy am I glad I did!!!! The Camp Transformation have the most motivational and positive trainers and staff! The Directors Karlos,Tanya and Diane are very helpful and will answer any questions you may have. You also meet the greatest people that are doing the 6 week challenge or are members to the camp. I would highly recommend the 6 week challenge to anyone who is looking to lose weight and learn healthy eating. read more

The Camp Transformation Center kept coming up on my news feed on Facebook. I was tired of being overweight and was determined to do something about it! I was very skeptical at first!!! Well, I signed up for the 6 month challenge and lost 22.8Lbs!! It is definitely a lifestyle change! You need lots of determination and will power! I had 2 weddings and 2 retirement parties during these 6 weeks and I had to control myself and say no to foods that were not FTDI. The workouts are tough but do-able!!!!! I'm on to my 2nd challenge and I am so glad I made it!! I love they gym..the trainers are great, the people Ive met at the gym are amazing and super supportive, and I love that I feel so accomplished when I leave!!!!! My entire family has started eating differently! it has now become a part of our every day life!!! I definitely recommend the transformation center! You will not regret it! read more
