Real results! Real fun! Real friendships! I joined in March 2021 and am hooked! In the 8 months I've participated no workout has been the same. I love the variety and the challenge. It's also incredible when activities like pushups or running a hill becomes easier. I felt such a difference from week 1 to week 6; less bloated, lighter, more flexible and stronger. The instructors Sue and Sharon are fitness experts! They are also very funny and kind people. Don't let your fear stop you from joining. This bootcamp welcomes all fitness levels and ages. The images below are from when i started and then taken 6 weeks apart wearing the same jeans. read more

Pinole Valley Boot Camp - Start of program and 6 weeks in between. Same jeans!! - Trainers Near Me

I've been attending PVBC 2xs each week since 2014. It is the best exercise program ever. It keeps me sane and physically fit at the same time! Francie Koehler read more

I just survived my first six week session at Pinole Valley Bootcamp -- and I am ready to go back. After coming out of a few months of mental health struggles and barely having any motivation to exercise, I needed something that would challenge me, get me into a routine, and hold me accountable. Plus, after two years of spending most of my time at home, I was craving something that involved being outdoors. PVBC is ALL of those things and more. Every week I really enjoyed and looked forward to getting to know everyone in the group, and I really surprised myself with how much my fitness improved in six weeks (I could barely hang on during the first session, but by the end I was really enjoying the challenge). Don't think so hard about it -- if you're in the area, just give it a try for six weeks and you'll be really glad you did. read more

When Brandi B. told me she was joining a boot camp I was jealous. I've been totally unmotivated by the gym, the lack of training I'm getting with other trainers and just working out on my own wasn't cutting it. It definitely wasn't helping me in the scale or muscle department either. Finally after her first 6 weeks she asked me to come with her and I was stoked!!!! This boot camp is NOT FOR SISSYS!!!! Don't think you're going to come to Sue and Sharon's class half ass-ing it!!! You have another thing coming if you think this class is easy. Boot camp is hard. Very hard! Blood, sweat and tears hard. We work out rain, sleet or snow. We get dirty, We sweat, and yes ladies and gentlemen we even cry! This by far is the BEST BEST BEST work out I've ever done! I've been to other glam boot camps and this is not one. Sue and Sharon love you. And because they love you, your behind will be doing a million mountain climbers, burpees, squats, push-ups and all things you hate but your arms, butt and abs love. I love Pinole Valley Boot Camp because all different ages, sizes and fitness levels can participate. I don't feel like the fat girl, slow girl or old girl. I also love this place because Sue and Sharon pushes you to the max. A girl like me will not be in the gym on my own doing burpees. I would recommend this boot camp to everyone!!!! We meet twice a week and I'm so sore that everything except my eye lashes hurt. I'm in pain and I don't know why I tortured myself but I keep coming back. I come back not only because I get so much motivation from the rest of the boot campers or because I'm envisioning myself in a two piece bikini but because living a healthy and fit life is the BEST LIFE!!!! Check this place out...you won't regret it :) read more

I'm just finishing my first 6 week boot camp and I've already signed up for the next one! It's been a lot of work but I find myself looking forward to each workout every week. It's so much more than I would be doing on my own. With this program, I simply show up and do the routines Sue and Sharon have picked. Every workout, if done at full intensity would challenge almost anyone - even trained athletes. In addition, the other people are very supportive and welcoming and Sue and Sharon want to help you improve your health and conditioning. My conditioning is better but I want to continue to improve and reach the point where I can truly do the exercises at full intensity. I'll be continuing this boot camp for some time to come. read more

Pinole Valley Bootcamp is great! Like Sandra said it's not for Sissys it's for people who are serious about getting in shape. The instructors take no crap but they are encouraging and motivating not demeaning or rude at all. Each workout goes up a level so your body doesn't get used to it and you push yourself. I have done exercises that a few weeks ago I thought I would never be able to finish, and I feel it all over my body, if your not sore after you didn't do it hard enough. Classes are outside at the park, which is much better than a stinky gym with crappy music. The hour goes by quicker than you would think. I highly recommend this workout! read more

Pinole Valley Boot Camp is AMAZING!! I started in October of 2010 and honestly it has changed my life in a lot of ways. It is not JUST about losing weight. I have gained strength and confidence I never knew existed. Being pushed by Sharon and Sue has made me realize I can do anything I set my mind to. I have always been an athlete but never had I worked out quite like this. Granted, it's not for everyone. PVBC is tough, and if you give up easily in other aspects of your life in general, well then-chances are when the going gets tough, you will make excuses and walk away from this too. If paying for a gym membership to get on a machine next to your buddy is your idea of a workout, you won't last here. For 1 hr. the trainers here will expect you to be fully committed and ready to work. They will encourage you in a 'bootcamp" kind-of-way (no holding your hand or gushing about how wonderful you are-why would you want that anyway?) . They will encourage you by being tough and pushing you to be your strongest, most determined self. When that hour is over, you KNOW you got your money's worth, and when that 6 weeks is over, more than likely you will be signing up for another! Your health and wellness is a choice, not a result of your circumstances. If you truly have it in you to be your best self, this program will pull it out of you. You will probably find that it changes your life in many other ways. Rather than stay stuck in a rut, you will make the changes in your life that hold you back or otherwise seem like just a dream. I have since went from being a stay at home mommy to starting my own company where I can work around taking care of my lil' chick. I love it! And I am 100% certain that I would have NEVER had the guts, determination or belief that I could actually do it! The boot campers that stick with it are amazing and along with the trainers, motivate me each and every class to go hard! It is said that when we face a difficulty in life, our emotions try to take control of us. These emotions do not help us achieve success, as they cannot rationalize the possibility of long term merits. They give us the OK to give up and walk away. You must persevere, and when you do-you WIN. No one can give you that, it is all up to you. Sharon and Sue can give you guidance, encouragement, a great one-of-a-kind workout and knowledge about your food intake and body. But it's up to you to make the commitment to persevere. It's really not magic people. Determination, self respect, perseverance ......or cupcakes and TV. Hmmmmm..... So, you decide.....Pinole Valley Boot Camp, or the same lame gym workout that doesn't give you real results?....shouldn't even be a question. Well, unless your a wimp! Ha! Try Pinole Valley Boot Camp and see for yourself why we keep coming back!! read more

The best spent hour of your life...I promise you! I joined Piniole Valley Boot Camp, June 2012. I have NEVER been a work out enthuisiast, but I was at a point in my life where I wanted a challenge and boy, did I get one! :) Sue and Sharon are two of the most dedicated instructors/trainers and they PUSH you. This hour (2-3 days a week), is not spent playing hop scotch and patty cake. You are being pushed to your limits, but all in efforts to benefit you in the long run. I have enrolled consistently since June '12 and I can't think of anything else I would want to replace boot camp with. The group of boot campers are also very friendly and supportive. For me, it is now a lifestyle change and as long as Sue and Sharon will offer the program, I will be there, weight ball in hand and ready to GO! read more

Excellent trainers. They push you to work hard. Both Sharon and Sue have decades of experience and it comes through in their workouts. This format is an awesome way to exercise. Best way to get into shape! read more

You wanna get in shape and feel strong? This is the workout for you. I can't believe the strength I have gained, and the pain in my shoulders is virtually gone. I am absolutely exhausted after every workout, but once the pain subsides, I'm ready for the next session. I love the fact it's done outside and I've learned so much about tools to use during a workout and helpful hints in the newsletters. Yes, I'm joining again and can't wait!!!! read more

If you want results - this is the program for you. Never know what the class will involve - each one is a new challenge. No boredom here, no time to think. Sharon and Sue know how to get the most intense workout into an hour. Discovered muscles I forgot I had. Love the way my body is taking shape. read more

I am so glad I found Pinole Valley Bootcamp! Sharon and Sue, the masterminds behind Pinole Valley Bootcamp, have designed an awesome program that is challenging, effective, and FUN! Each session includes weight training and cardio exercises. Sue and Sharon plan everything out so you don't have to worry about anything and you get a full body workout each and every time. Plus, the great variety of exercises means you'll never get bored. In just one session I've lost three inches off of my waist, I can see that I'm getting toned, and I feel great. Running a mile non-stop used to be a challenge for me, now with Sue and Sharon motivating and pushing me, I'm sprinting up hills carrying weights and it feels great! read more

An amazing workout in one hour-so much more than I can get done on my own. It is worth every minute! I can't believe the amount of strength I have gained. I always look forward to the next class. read more
