SoCal Fitness Boot Camp for Women in Carlsbad at McGee Park is the perfect fit for me. Karen, the owner, is a consummate professional who works out all her students to their limit, but understands when to modify for individuals. I have tried gyms and have been so bored I soon stop attending. Karen has never taught the same class twice. The variety is what keeps me on my toes. I have never enjoyed weights, but the blend of cardio with weights seems to work for me. I am astounded at the end of each workout that I made through yet I do not feel Karen is pushing me beyond my limits. There is a range of students, and I am one of the "older" members which often translates to running a little slower and coming in last sometimes, but I never feel I have to compete with the younger members. I recommend it for any women who wants to look better, but even more importantly feel healthy and fit. read more

I dont know what i'd do without this bootcamp! I'm completely addicted and i think this may always have to be a part of my life! :0) I Started going to the location in north Oceanside in Feb of 2012. I attended it for 5 months and saw significant improvements in my physical endurance, strength, as well as changes in my body that really made me happy! I also loved working out with a group of women who were encouraging and challenged me! Kyndra is a great trainer at that location. I moved to Carlsbad this summer and signed up for the location on park blvd near the Oceanside / Vista border. I've been more than pleased with this location as well. The comatadierie is great, and the trainer, Amanda, keeps the workouts challenging and always new. I know that i'm going to continue to see great progress on my quest for fitness this fall! read more

Ever since I started attending Karen's class a few months ago I have felt so much better about myself. There is nothing like waking up and getting an excellent workout first thing in the morning. It gives me energy throughout the day and helps keep me focused. She is an excellent instructor and knows how to keep the class motivated with fun music and a variety of exercises. The bonus is that it is all women! No worries about what you look like when you come to class. Simply come and workout, burn those calories, make some new friends and ultimately be healthier. Thanks Karen! I'm officially a junky:) P.S. Size and age aren't an issue, so cut the excuses! Karen works with each individual to achieve their maximum potential at each class. You will be amazed at what you can do when you are held accountable. read more

Love this Bootcamp...I moved from N. CA to San Diego in Jan 13 and have been attending SoCal boot camp since... I was a boot camp member in N.

There are Women of all ages, all fitness levels, and the work out can be as easy or hard as you want to work out that day.....Karen is a great coach and will push you as much as you want or need to be pushed....My Strength has improved, my posture has improved, of course my overall fitness level has improved and I love the flexibility in the classes and schedule and the time off when we get it ... I would recommend SoCal Bootcamp for any Women - not just for losing weight but to feel better, feel stronger and feel good ! read more

With So Cal Fitness Bootcamp for Women, I finally got some of the weight loss results I've been dreaming of for years! When my girlfriend asked me if I wanted to join a bootcamp class with her, my initial reaction was, "ya right, that sounds like fun!" But, after some convincing, I signed up and proceeded to be challenged and encouraged every single class I attended. Erin, the instructor, knows how to give a great workout and to push you to hit is faster and harder but without making you feel uncomfortable. Plus, it's awesome that this bootcamp is women-only; I know there's no way I would push myself as hard as I do if there were a bunch of men in the class to intimidate me. I'm looking toned and slim and feeling great, all thanks to So Cal Fitness Bootcamp for Women. read more

This is where its at ladies! Not only are you getting in shape but the confidence you feel afterwards is amazing! I started noticing results just after 6 days at camp. Karen is so motivating and positive. If theres an exercise you are having trouble with she modifies it just for you so you dont feel left out.Plus if your doing an exercise and it comes "easy" she pumps it up a notch. This camp is for every size, shape, speed and age. The women you work out with are always friendly and nobody is left behind! The hour goes by quickly as she has you moving every second your there, you cant go wrong with one hour four days a week, there really is no excuses! Stop googling for different boot camps and come check this out. read more

The best exercise/workout program I have ever experienced. I am active duty military and this program has helped me achieve outstanding results on my semi-annual physical readiness tests. I have tried many programs that did not achieve the desired results I was looking for, so I was happy when I found Karen because this program WORKS for me. I have been a loyal member of this program since 2007. Karen is a great personal trainer and keeps the classes challenging and fun. I love being outside at the beach in beautiful Carlsbad CA and working out with the other ladies. I have seen improvements in strength, cardio, and muscle tone. I highly recommend this program to ladies of all ages. read more

This is a fantastic boot camp!! After driving past my gym twice/day but never stopping I quit (after 2 years of giving them my $). I found this boot camp on Groupon and decided to give it a try. That has been nearly a year ago and I haven't stopped since! I love the instructors who encourage us to work our hardest but don't yell at us, they make sure we're holding the correct posture and our workouts are always varied and fun. I really like being a women's only class too because workouts are tailored for women since we don't want to build up the big muscles men might want. I am in the best shape of my life and feel great!!! read more

I love this boot camp and especially the Trainer Karen Pietsch! I have been attending this camp for a few years and love the workouts. Karen makes the workouts tough but fun. She is not a yeller! She is very encouraging and changes the routines up so much that you never get bored. Being near the sand and water, we have the opportunity to go and run drills in the sand or in the park. She is great at modifying for any level/age/injury! She knows her stuff! The ladies in class are very encouraging and an overall fun group! If you need encouragement and people to help you on your journey, this is the way to go! read more

Going to SoCal Fitness Bootcamp classes, you never ever feel like it's a chore or hassle to work-out. This bootcamp is not only fun, it's motivating, inspirational, and always keeps you on your toes for what's planned that day. Karen is a phenomenal instructor that is highly educated in her field and always knows how to guide beginners and also those who want more of a challenge. I absolutely love attending bootcamp, the results you get when you put in the effort, and most of all, the feeling of pure success after leaving each days camp. A must try!!! read more

I am on my 2nd session at the 5:30am class in Oceanside. I consider myself in decent shape but each class is extremely challenging for me. And I love the fact its 4 days a week! I am competitive, mainly with myself, so this class forces me to push myself to be better & faster. Amanda, our trainer, is awesome! She is very knowledgeable & is very observant to make sure our form is correct. She is also encouraging & makes the class fun! Highly recommend this program for all ages & all levels of fitness! read more

I just moved to California from NJ and didn't know what I would do when I moved. I had seen a personal trainer in NJ. I decided to give try this bootcamp. Am I glad I did. Not only is this bootcamp cheaper than seeing a personal trainer but I feel I am getting a better workout. My fitness level has greatly improved after only 4 weeks. The trainer is very supportive and encouraging. It is for any fitness level. I would recommend this bootcamp to anyone looking for an exercise program. read more

I had a fantastic time at SoCal Fitness Boot Camp for approximately 6 months until I had to relocate to the East Coast. Jessica is by far the best trainer I've ever had, she makes sure you are maximizing your intensity to get the most out of the workout. Aside from being a great trainer, Jessica possesses an unsurpassed work ethic and commitment to her camp. Jessica is your trainer if you are very focused on getting in shape and have fun with workout variety and good people! read more

I love, love, LOVE So Cal Bootcamp for Women! Karen pushes you to your limit, but understands when you have reached that limit. It's so much fun because you never know what you're gonna get on any given day. The location is heaven (by the beach in Carlsbad!) and I love the comraderie with the other ladies, too. After 6 months I'm feeling so much better and fitting into clothes I couldn't fit into 6 months ago! I'll be sticking with this from now on. Highly recommend! read more

I have never really exercised before, my friend referred me to SoCal Fitness Bootcamp for Women, and I can't stop! It is a fun and amazing workout! Karen is a great trainer and gives us the motivation to get fit, eat right, and have fun! The program is great, you pay for the month, and can go to any of the classes available in San Diego. I love that she has an afternoon class, as I am not a morning person. I highly recommend this bootcamp, join the fun! read more

I would HIGHLY recommend this boot camp to any and everyone. I love me some morning bootcamp. It starts the day off right and you get it over with. The trainers are great and they push the ones that are in better shape and motivate the women that are just starting to push on at their speed. This camp delivers results and it is a GREAT buy for the money. The women that go are always friendly which makes it even go faster! read more

I have been attending the 5:30 am Boot Camp in Temecula at Ronald Reagan Sports Park since February. It's a great way to start your day. In this heat, it's nice to have your workout in by 6:30am.

I would highly recommend this boot camp to anyone looking for a great workout with great people. read more
