I had college in the morning and afternoon, worked until closing, and would come here right after work to get my workout in. The hours changed sometime after COVID, but I've continued coming here because I really like the location and how convenient it is for me. I've tried other gyms, including 24 Hour Fitness, LA Fitness, Gold's Gym, and Planet Fitness. Some were okay, but I keep coming back to UFC Gym because it's close to home and is open late on certain days, which works well with my schedule. Since I usually come later at night, I've never really had an issue with waiting for equipment. The cleanliness is decent overall, although I do wish members would be more considerate about cleaning up after themselves. It's frustrating seeing people throw or leave paper towels behind after wiping down equipment instead of putting them in the trash. The staff have always been friendly and helpful whenever I've needed anything.

UFC Gym has a great variety of equipment, some of which you would not see at other gyms. In addition to standard cardio machines and weights, they have heavy bags, a turf area, a boxing cage, lifting platforms, and functional fitness equipment like ropes. They even offer recovery services like percussion massage, hydromassage beds, compression massage, and cryotherapy. I have yet to try these. On top of that, they have lots of classes including zumba, Brazilian jiu jitsu, high intensity interval training, kickboxing, boxing, mixed martial arts, yoga, cycling, and more. The class schedule is pretty consistent. However, I didn't have a great experience with taking their classes. If you are a newcomer to a class, the instructors do not provide any guidance to you whatsoever. All the newcomers are left confused on what to do in the class. I like that this gym does not get overcrowded, as they have great hours and flexibility. They are open almost 24/7, so this is a great option for early morning birds as well as late-night gym goers. Cleanliness seems to be pretty well maintained at this facility. I often see staff regularly cleaning. For guests, plenty of paper towels and disinfecting solutions are available to wipe down equipment. The smoothie bar near the entrance/exit is a nice touch to the place. They sell plenty of other things, like snacks, on top of protein shakes.

I highly recommend Wilson for chronic back pain and body imbalances…read more I've had back issues since high school that turned into years of poor posture especially once I started working and sitting even more. My entire right side was off, from my toe, knee, hip, back, even up into my shoulders. I just had no idea what the root cause was or how to fix it. I've seen MANY physical therapists throughout the years, tried acupuncture, and gotten regular massages. Unfortunately none of them provided relief for more than a few days. I also worked with other trainers before, but they trained me in more generic ways and overlooked my imbalances. Sometimes it would make my pain got worse. I moved to this area a few months ago and was referred to Wilson. I immediately felt a HUGE DIFFERENCE just from our discovery session. He picked up on issues in my movement just by watching me do a few exercises. He used the massage gun to loosen muscles I didn't even know were contributing to my pain. He explained exactly tight, what was weak, and how everything connected. He told me I'd feel better within two months... but honestly, I started feeling better within just TWO WEEKS of seeing him twice a week. This is genuinely the best money I've ever spent on my health. I'm definitely stronger, more balanced, and NOT IN CONSTANT PAIN!! I can go on longer hikes and spend more time walking my dog without stopping to massage my back... I can't recommend Wilson enough, especially if you feel like nothing else has worked.

It feels like I'm training with a friend who just happens to also be an amazing coach and really cares about your progress. She also communicates well, takes the time to answer my questions, and is reliable with scheduling. She shows up consistently prepared and fully present for every session, which I really appreciate. In our personal sessions, she took the time to understand my goals and helped me build strength, consistency, and healthier habits in a way that felt sustainable and encouraging. In group classes, she brings that same energy...warm, inclusive, and always making sure everyone feels seen and supported. I also want to share appreciation for SoFit SoCal. It's a clean, welcoming space with a really positive atmosphere that makes it easy to show up and stay motivated.

There's a full lobby with seating and a separate room to place your items. The machines are further in the back in another room, which disconnects you from the entry door and windows.

We were afraid we couldn't overcome such a terrible experience that gave us nightmares or we couldn't even sleep just thinking about our child's entire experience and how can a daycare run with advertised as "high quality/STEM," but no integrity and moral values....We absolutely could not continue our child's daycare program there anymore. We continued our search again for another daycare and big thank you to San Gabriel Kids Klub and staff for being there for us since the very first day we took our tour. What we saw was night and day, compared to the previous daycare and were stunned that we didn't find this hidden gem daycare earlier. My wife and I kept saying "what a blessing in disguise" that we found this place after such a horrible experience at the other daycare. What we saw on our tour: - front desk greeted every single family/childs name. - children are all so happy - the teachers knew all students names, even if the student was not in their classroom. - all students were engaged in activities (not a single kid by themselves or a group of 2-3 by theirselves). - the teacher/student ratio was fair. - All the teachers engaged and were attentive to all the students. - My wife loves the scheduled program and Curriculum based for developmental skills for each age. - Staff is extremely caring - Diverse and Cultured - Private kitchen for entire school/cafeteria - Children's Restroom are separate from classroom - All students knows each other from all ages - Tons of different activities for kids - Easy to talk to and welcomes you with open arms - Respectful where rules around - campus is strict but fair to understand We love how all teachers work together and care for each students personality. They all take their time with the students and consider the parents, along with understanding how important it is to teach culture to all ethnicities. This showed me how special it is to be a part of Kids Klub. Also, they have 3 locations and have night and weekend programs as well.

I know what you may be thinking: is this gym/program/challenge a scam? Let me reassure you that it is not. A little background on me: I've always been athletic. I swam since I was a kid and played competitive volleyball throughout high school and college. But after multiple joint injuries (ie. rotatorcuff, ankles, and spine) I was forced to stop completely thus gaining a lot of weight. I've tried on my own diet-wise to lose the weight but since I'm a huge foodie with my family being huge eaters (always going to buffets) it was extremely difficult for me. Thus I took a chance on this challenge. And let me say I'm very grateful I did: I lost a total of 28.6 lbs in 6 weeks!! And will be getting my refund back! Thus it's not a scam. I feel completely transformed inside and out! You have to be honest with yourself and the program: don't cheat the meal plan and just go workout. One of the huge concerns I had was the high intensity workouts since I had many injuries, especially my spine. And I know sometimes the classes are very full and the trainers can't watch everyone but do not fret, the trainers offer modifications for the workouts you can't do, simply ask. Therefore I have to give a shout out to Monica Roque. She began training at El Monte about half way through challenge but she does an amazing job making sure everyone's technique is on point so no one gets hurt. Her class makes me feel confident about lifting heavy weights because I know she is watching and I won't get hurt. Her studies are even in modified workouts. I gotta say that my favorite trainer is Darius McCants. He says a lot of people hate his class but I LOVE it. I would only go to his classes if I could. He coaches track and field and plays many other sports therefore his workouts and drills are every teamwork oriented (eg. If someone stops, you start over kind of workouts) which I thrive from since I played volleyball and had the same type of drills. Honestly, I'd pay good money to have Darius as a personal trainer. He is also studying to become a PT. Most importantly, I love the environment of the gym: there is no negativity allowed and everyone is super friendly and encouraging, especially the Directors and front desk. They actually make the effort to know your name and get to know you. #AFF (awesome fit family) They are truly there to help you out, not to steal your money. If you want to achieve greatness, you have to push yourself; you can't blame anyone else. I will for sure take what I have learned to become more fit and healthy. #stayfitdontquit #healthyelmonte read more

Truthfully, the directors here need to be more professional but the trainers and my success is why they get 5 stars. Es difícil describir lo que pasa por mi mente. El viernes justamente estaba reflexionando sobre esto, las semanas más difíciles fueron la primera y la última pues el cambio siempre es difícil, al que se le sumaron dos niveles de glucosa bajos. El restringirse de tomar agua creo que es lo más difícil, por mi mente cruzó y si no las bajo todo mi esfuerzo, de que sirvió, me desanimaba y yo misma me motivaba, si hoy me preguntaran si entraría en un reto así, mi respuesta sería NO, las razones son muchas, todos los cuerpos son diferentes y lo que para algunos trabaja quizá para otros no, creo que no hay razón de desequilibrar al extremo tu organismo cuando todo puede ser moderado y sin tantas restricciones. Los entrenadores yo no tengo queja, al contrario me gustaban mucho, hacen un trabajo excelente y gracias a ellos lo conseguí . Mi consejo sería si vas a ingresar como plan de ejercicio siguiendo una dieta balanceada hazlo es perfecto, pero no lo hagas como reto. Creo que el bajar de peso con una presión tan alta no es saludable. Yo lo complete con 3 tallas abajo y 24.1 librAs menos. Todos los consejos que me dio al final mi doctor favorito Jose José Alejandro Mena Chávez fueron invaluables, y mi esposo y mi hijo Jonathan que me echaban porras cuando las pilas se me bajaban.

Back in January my brother joined The Camp because he needed a lifestyle change to better his health. When he went to The Camp to sign up he brought me along. I was hesitant to join at the time, but did the buddy thing for 30 days with him. The first workout was the hardest I had experienced and I felt I could not do a single workout. The Challengers, members, and trainers were very supportive and motivating. The trainers modified the workouts according to each persons limitations. My brother successfully completing his challenge and seeing other Challenger's accomplishments convinced me to join The Camp as a Challenger. I found my health and overall energy significantly improved. I am a Type 2 diabetic and was non-compliant with my medication. My doctor had even increased the Metformin dose thinking that I was taking the medication to begin with. Working in the medical field I knew what I needed to do. Back in January 2017 my Hemoglobin A1C was 7.8. I changed my eating habits and began to exercise on my own and brought my A1C to 6.6, but the best part is after coming to The Camp in January with my brother, I can happily say that my A1C dropped even more and is in the normal range at 5.5 and off of Metformin. I started my first challenge in February and was successful in beating my first challenge. I am looking forward to completing this second challenge and continuing with this lifestyle and remain on the road to better my health. The Camp is definitely the place if you are looking to make that lifestyle change and need the motivation and positive environment. I am grateful to the Directors and Trainers for bringing their positive energy and professionalism to this wonderful place. read more

The Camp has been an enormous stepping stone in my life journey. I signed up with hesitation, not sure I could meet the 20lbs, not sure I could afford the $497. to start and not sure I could meet the workout requirement as I have never committed to anything like this before. After much thought and encouragement from a co worker I decided to join and told myself I have spent $500. on other things not quite as important as my health so i could not make this about the money, I told myself I would try and go my own pace and take it day by day. The First week was hard for many reasons but I felt so good once I finished my work out and every day I felt a little stronger and pushed a little harder. The trainers have been great giving knowing when to give encouragement to push hard and when I was at my max. I loved the gym setting compared to most other gyms where it feels like a meat market or just uncomfortable like all eyes are me and I would never give my all because of my own insecurities. At the CAMP everyone is there doing the same workout /circuits you are and no is standing around watching you and that allowed me to get out of my head and really push myself instead of worry about how big my rear end looked while was doing my circuits. I completed my first Challenge with 23.7 loss and was amazed at how far I had come. I have since rolled over into my 2nd Challenge and can't wait to see my results in another 6 weeks. I think I'm a Camper for life challenge or no challenge it's life altering and puts you on the path to being a healthier better you. read more

I just had my second child, in which I gained over 60 pounds. I was unhappy with my body. I needed something that would push me and I was one of those people who would say "on Monday I will start". So, I decided to join The Camp in El Monte. I did the hard body challenge which consisted of losing 5% body fat in 6 weeks. During those 6 weeks you had to check in 30 times thru Facebook. Plus, they give you videos to do at home. For example, on upper day you had to do upper video, but most of these videos consists of weight lifting. So, if you didn't have weights at home you had to go to other gyms or go to The Camp when it was open. Usually The Camp was open but there was a class going and most of the time it was too crowded to work on your videos. Sometimes the trainers will take over whole area, that was the only downfall about this challenge. Why are you going to pay double? To go another gym to work on your videos. One the bright side my experience was awesome. All the staff of The Camp in El Monte and trainers are great. I went in with 27% body fat and weight 122 and ended at 24% and weight 114. I might of not passed the challenge, but feel great. Everyone there is helpful and will guide on the right path. Also, their meal plans, will keep you FTDI.This a first start to change your life style. The first couples of weeks were hard, but I promise you will adapt. When you are done with your challenge, your body and mind will be asking for more. Please, please read your contract carefully. Good luck! read more

I recommend The Camp to anyone who is thinking they have tried everything possible out there to lose weight and have failed. This camp is different from anything you have ever tried or could imagined. When I first started my weight lose journey I was very skeptical but after the very first day I knew I was going to be successful... I felt the caring love from my awesome director Feliciano TC Salazar and all the kick ass trainers, Staff and fellow Members whom were there every step of the way. They were better than Family lol... the support and guidance and never letting me give up pushing me beyond what "I' considered my physical limits...you'll be surprised how strong "you" really are! I hated scales (moment of truth) Mondays are mandatory weigh-in on my first weigh-in ending the first week i lost 4 lbs. Yay!. Week 2, lost 3.7 lbs. By week 6 the last weigh-in I lost...drum roll...lol 25.7 lbs!!! Before my journey I cried tears of feeling like a failure but at the end I cried tears of happiness and accomplishment! I love clothes but hated clothes shopping; nothing fit or looked good on my body I would go home sad and empty handed Now, whenever I go clothes shopping the only sad feeling I get is not enough $$ to buy the clothes I like and look fabulous on my transformed body! lol Thank you The Camp and all the staff I owe you my life! I did it and so can YOU!!! Most importantly my health has improved as well no more diabetes and high blood pressure meds...Priceless! read more

Once upon a time I would have given this place 10 out of 5 stars. I still would give it an excellent review for some of the amazing trainers and the front desk staff. Unfortunately, the Camp Transformation Center overall and a few business owners have made me furious. They claim to be a family environment, but from my experience it isn't. Since this is only suppose to be a review for the El Monte Camp, I will focus on this location. I had two major problems, which I reported to the owners. Their immediate response was to ignore it. The problem was it was getting very difficult to ignore. I was told that they can only control so much. I understood, because sometimes a business can only do so much. However my issue is that they are very quick to jump in and censor the slightest negative public post. In my humble opinion, they can't have it both ways. I wish the owners had tried to resolve my issues as swiftly and diligently like their own business reputation. I rarely give Yelp reviews. The business has to be excellent or horrifically bad in order for me to give a review. My opinion isn't based on one or a few bad experiences. Personally, I read reviews with a grain of salt. I judge a business based on how the owners handle problems and critqes. Hmmmm.... let's see how they handle this one. I suggest ignoring this review like you have told me to do about my issues! read more

Whatttt! I can not believe that 42 days is over and I completed the 6 week challenge. Lost 21 lbs! If you want to discipline yourself by working out on a daily basis and eating healthy. You should try this camp. It works. Make sure you follow all the rules though. Of course, this discipline comes with a cost. This challenge is around $500 for 6 weeks to lose 20 lbs. If you complete the challenge, you get your money back or you can rollover to be a member or do the hardbody challenge. It was physical and mentally exhausting. I am proud to say that I completed something in my life especially with working out and eating healthy. I love the trainers here everyone has their uniqueness and corkiness. They are supportive and very nice. Thank you to all the trainers I had with to continuously push me and I definitely got stronger and I went from disliking working out and sweating to love working out. I used to not know what to do on the gym and what to eat and not to eat. During this challenge, I learned to look at all the nutrition facts to see what goes into my body and learned to take care of my body by eating nutritionist food. It opens my eyes in doing different things for my body. I want to continue to try different places to find what I like to continue to push myself and not having others push me #healthyelmonte #stayfitdontquit read more

I accomplished my first 6 week challenge. It's been an amazing experience when you sign up to any Transformation Camp you sign to have a huge supportive family! It is definitely a lifestyle changer. I've learned so much and hopefully I will inspire others to just pause and visualize that in order to get results you must put in the time and work. The camp is not selling you a magical pill that will melt fat in 6 weeks! This program make you accountable for yourself. I'll say it again you put in the time and work you will get results! Every one has a busy life style, with bad habits. I've learned to start my day earlier because that works for me. Preparing my meals for the week has made the biggest impact in my life. By having your meals ready you almost set yourself on autopilot. For the entire week you already know what to eat, when to eat and how much to eat. Wondrous discovery! Clean eating for the first week I'm not gonna lie, it was a mental challenge. After your body flushes all the bad toxins you body will thank you and you will feel very energized! Don't be afraid of the workouts do what you can. See yourself as a building block. But do push yourself. When ever I have sore muscles I feel very proud of my new lifestyle and body! I will continue my journey by rolling into a second challenge. A new chapter awaits! read more

I joined the 6 week hard body challenge in an attempt to gain strength and endurance. I faced a goal of 5% body fat loss. At the end of the challenge, I'm proud to say, that I lost 6.1% body fat and 9.8 pounds. This program does not only challenge you physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. I lacked self discipline when it came to working out, and it was impossible to drag me to the gym. I needed a push to a healthier lifestyle and the trainers at this camp are excellent motivators when it comes to pushing your limits. It takes hard work, dedication and persistence to achieve the results you're looking for, but towards the end of the challenge it's so empowering and rewarding to witness your body getting stronger. The ability to control your cravings, push your body's limits, and say NO to unhealthy habits is like putting your body and mind through rehab. It was a life changing experience for me. Today, I'm more mindful of the food/beverages I'm consuming and the importance of daily exercise to maintain the results I've achieved. I'm extremely grateful to the team of Camp Transformation Center for teaching me how to maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating clean and working out different muscle groups. The workouts were my favorite part of the challenge. I got to work with Erika, Ryan, and Shania and they were fantastic! read more

THANK YOU EVERYONE !!! there's no way I could have made all 6 weeks (at this level of intensity) without your encouragement, positivity and support!!! AND THAT EXTRA PUSH from the trainers :) Joining the HB challenge has been one of the best investments I've made in to my overall wellbeing and I am so grateful that I got to experience it! - improved mood - less anxiety - detox from sugar (a huge plus!!!) - improved stamina - return to work- out mode after injury and sedentary lifestyle - learned to lift weights (still a beginner) - built muscle - cleaned up my diet - met great positive people (absolutely lovely and very beneficial aspect of the experience ) - regained self confidence - learned a lot MORE about exercise and nutrition - like the way my clothes fit now (although I must go and get new ones) - learned that it's ok to push myself and without re- injuring - stayed committed and focused - dropped 16 lbs - AND lastly and much to my amazement , because I really couldn't lift too heavy at all (do to my wrists as a pianist) but instead added FASTED HIIT cardio to my daily routine to compensate-- I was at 1%BF loss at midpoint and finished at 4.2% which to me is incredible granted I couldn't lift heavy but had to learn to modify and lift without straining my joints... SO YES! I'm grateful, amazed and proud! read more

I just finish my hardbody challange with 5.4%. First of all I would like to thank the owners and creator of this program,our directors,trainers, and staff at El monte location ,all the AFF that motivate each other and my family for all the support and encouragement to finish strong. This challenges was the hardest of all . I was concerned with the change on the diet and having enough time to complete the homework ,I started to notice change since the first week,every week adding extra sets until the last week which is he hardest but you create the strength every week that's why they encourage you to concentrate in doing homework every day, important too lift heavy, push yourself to overpass your limits , drink water get your meals on time and to get some rest to get the best results. The initial $497 had me go thru 4 challenge and hard body challenge proudly at THE CAMP TRANSFORMATION CENTER EL MONTE location I felt like I'm in debt with this program lossing 100pounds it has been practically free at end . Since I completed my last one I have the options to get my $497 refund . Now my hardest challenge its about to start ,stay consistent and healty ,thats why i made the decision to become a member. #HEALTYELMONTE #STAYFITDONQUIT read more

The camp really is amazing. There are times when you just want to give up and walk out but the fact that the trainers and other challengers are there motivating you keeps you going. I couldn't have done it without everyone's support including my sisters and moms. Following the FTDI was difficult at first but its worth it and the work outs are intense! I lost 22 pounds in 6 weeks how awesome is that! I cried of joy when I was alone Lol there were days when I was extremely soar but hey if it hurts it works haha I had a bag full of junk food that I would save so I could eat after the 6 weeks were over i would always look at them and couldn't wait to eat them but once it was over I didn't even want to eat them anymore I gave them to my little sister and brother it felt nice when i would go to school and my friends would say i looked great that i was losing weight to keep it up to tell them what i was doing had a few friends who even ended up going to check the camp out after seeing my results. I highly recommend the camp to anyone who's trying to lose weight or simply trying to stay fit. Thank you for everything I really enjoyed the time I spent with you all i loved it #stayfitdontquit read more

I completed my first 6-week Challenge.I lost a total of 23.1lbs feeling very proud of myself. I must say that The Camp Transformation in Pico Rivera has been impressive in all aspects. The trainers are tough; they help you push to your fullest. The greeters in the front are always available for questions and encouragement. The rules are as clear as water. FDTI (Follow The Dam Instructions) you can't go wrong with that. I started to monitor my diet right away and exercise 5 times a week at the camp. They have a lot of classes available, even Sat and Sunday. I am 46 years old, and the reason I called and signed up to the program was that I thirst to have a healthier and happier life. I know that my weight is keeping me from doing so many things. Another thing I love about this program is that you do see results, and you will not want to stop. It's amazing to me thinking back to before the camp, and how much better I am now.. I must warn you it is addicting to see your pounds melting away. I'm ready for my 2nd challenge, ARE YOU? Come on you will not regret it. You will find it to be the best investment of your life. Good luck to us all.. And let's party at Pico..!!. read more

Completed the 3rd challenge and it has been by far the hardest challenge to lose weight. For three weeks, there weren't any changes on the scale. I kept thinking to myself that this challenge was going to be the last one since I was not losing any pounds. By the beginning of the 6th week, I needed to lose about 9 lbs. At this point, I really needed to trust the process. I started the camp journey at the beginning of June and have lost about 73 lbs. Aside from completing the challenge, the support and atmosphere is incredible from the fellow challengers, members, and trainers. Joining the camp is still the best decision I have made. Before joining, I went to get some blood work to see the condition of my health. The test results were alarming. My A1c was at an 11.4 and triglycerides were at 1277. My doctor wanted to see me three months after and see my progress. In this challenge three months have passed and I get a call from my doctor to congratulate me because my health had improved significantly. My A1c went from 11.4 to 5.2 and the triglycerides went from 1277 to 127. Not only has the camp helped me lose weight, but it has also helped me improve my health. read more

The Camp Transformation of El Monte has been a life changing experience. I always complained about needing motivation to go back to the gym or to a regular routine of working out and the Camp was the answer. The Camp was a great way of starting a new healthy lifestyle. During the Camp journey, I did the body fat challenge where I had to lose 5% body fat. This challenge was challenging and at times I felt like giving up. I especially felt like giving up when mid way my body fat only went down .5 percent. I felt defeated but I did not give up. Brian, the Camp Director, as well as the other trainers pushed me and encouraged me not to give up. I didn't. I continued to follow my diet, do the workouts and at the end of the challenge I lost 5.6% body fat! I was extremely happy, but I was even more happy to see changes in my body. I felt better every morning, I saw muscle definition, I was losing weight etc. I overall felt great about myself. I highly recommend the Camp to anyone that want to lose weight or better their bodies. The Camp is truly a family that encourages one another. Thank you Camp of El Monte for the great experience. read more

Where to start... Well from the beginning I guess, I came across this amazing place about 6 weeks ago and decided thay I will give it my all. The 1st week when my legs were sore and I could not move my arm was rough, but at the same time I was feeling full of energy. Love the people who motivate me day by day, who did not let me quit and pushing me day by day to do better by lifting your spirit and transmitting energy as you go. The Camp has changed my life, has showed me why I decided to do this, yes I'll admit it was a challenged that i wanted to bet, but the true reason was for mi, a healthier me, to fight diabetes, which am happy to say an not pre-diabetic anymore. Today after completing the 6 week challenge I feel that not only have I lost 34 pounds but I have also lost the fear to not be able to overcome anything I set my mind. I recommend this place to all off those who like me need to find the motivation and energy to become a better person. Thank you to all of those who where part of my amazing transformation. I truly apreciate all the motivation, advice, and love I received. Challenge #2 here i go!!!! read more

I have finished my 1st challenge at The Transformation Camp - El Monte. Some days it seemed like the end was never going to arrive! I am happy with my end results. I had heard about The Camp from my brother who joined in Corona, CA. With his words of encouragement and seeing his results helped me take that step to just find out more. On the 1st day when I walked in to inquire about this place...it was so intimidating. Darius was yelling "down" every 2 seconds and everyone's exhausted face made me almost turn around and walk away. I am glad i didn't. Well that 1st class was THE MOST DIFFICULT, of course it was Darius, LORD have mercy! I felt like I was going to die. With the help of my AFF and all the wonderful trainers i go through it!!! since day one, everyone at the Camp, directors, trainers, front desk personnel and members have all been supportive, helpful and just make it a fun and comfortable atmosphere to get healthy. Any questions, concerns I had were always answered. I would definitely recommend this place to whoever wants to transform their bodies :). cheers to healthier me...US! read more

I successfully completed my second challenge and lost 21.6 lbs on top of my 22.6 lbs and now am on my way to my third challenge. If you truly want to change your mindset and relationship with food and overall health, this is by far the best way to start. The program itself is simple and straightforward, and all you have to do is Follow the Damn Instructions. It takes Discipline and HARDWORK and its NOT easy, hence the word "Challenge!" This is a total game changer from your typical gyms that you get membership to. In the Camp, you are pushed so you can reach your potential, you are given a simple food list, and full support from all the staff. You also have alumni cheering you on and after the same goal, to be Healthy and to reach YOUR goal. I rate the Camp 5 stars because there is literally no other program that I have come across that has motivated me to get up at 5am to workout at 6am, go to work and look forward to do it again over and over. Thank You to the founders for creating such an awesome program. Now on to my next Challenge for continued success. #stayfitdontquit #cantstopwontstop read more
