Updated: 7/19/21 So happy to say I completed another 6 week challenge! I was so nervous but in the final week I was able to lose the weight I needed to move on to challenge #5! Here's my story: Signing up January 2021 as my New Years resolution was a no brainer. I had gained over 100 lbs since 2018! Initially, I didn't want to spend almost $500 with not being fully committed, but for my health and being a couple years to 40 I knew carrying all this excess weight was not doing anything for my future other than getting one foot closer to the grave. When I began, COVID-19 was full blown and Monterey county was still in the purple tier. We had masks and were outdoors everyday five days a week at 5am! I was so out of shape. Couldn't jump, couldn't burpee couldn't jog. Here I am going into my FIFTH challenge over 90lbs lighter! I can do a burpee, sprint and jump like a frog! I never regret one day of this challenge and this program. I never regret the workouts. I never regret getting back my health. I have a total of 7 challenges to complete, but I will succeed. I'm doing this for me and it feels good! read more

This is my first boot camp ever. I have not exercised in over 3 years with the exception of walking. As an older person who has done aerobics, Zumba, and yoga over the decades, I've discovered exercises and muscles I never knew existed. The camp offers HIIT that includes cardio and weight training. This has been a wonderful learning experience. The trainers are very accommodating offering "modifications" for folks with any type of restrictions due to prior injury. The key is to speak up and listen to your body. Be sure to bring a towel and get ready to work your body. If you stick to the program you will definitely see results! Thank you to the trainers, classmates and staff. I would have given 5 stars but it's virtually impossible to complete any homework without weights at home for the hardbody challenge. Opening the facility for those of us who need to use the gym in addition to the class would be a definite plus. read more

I completed The Camp's 6-week hard body challenge and I am excited to have seen so many great results. I attended the classes 5 days a week and took all of the trainers classes. The trainers are all very encouraging (and tough) and help you with modifications if needed. For this challenge, they gave me a diet plan which I actually found to be even harder than the workouts. It's very limited but that's how you see results. The good thing is that you're consuming a lot of calories a day which is how I gained muscle. It's just very boring food so that was the hard part. My plan now is to try keeping up with my progress on my own and then to do another challenge in a few months. During these 6 weeks I was able to lose over 5% body fat and gain 2 pounds of muscle! I would definitely recommend this challenge to anyone who needs a jump start that wants to see progress. BUT you have to be ready to totally commit or it will not work. read more

I just completed my first 6 week challenge. It was a huge success do to the awesome diet plan they provided, the very informative team that was able to answer all my questions I may have had, and because of the amazing trainers that pushed you and kept you motivated through the entire workout. The group of people you workout with is a great mixture of beginners all the way up to advanced athletes who can help you stay motivated as well. If I wasn't moving on to the military and leaving for basic training soon I would be signing up for another challenge to push myself even farther. Thank you all for helping me achieve my goals and holding me accountable!! read more

I love this gym for a fun and challenging HIIT workout and the community is friendly! The trainers are all great! Whenever I go in there's a new routine and the music is energetic! I get to work on muscle building, cardio, core and balance. It's a great way to wake up at 6 am! They always welcome you in with big smiles and positive energy. Try it! You also get to learn and use all sorts of cables, weights, sleds, box jumps, TRXs, ropes, etc! They also help you out if you forget how to do a workout station. Yay! I love my new gym!!! read more

Yes yes yes and yes!! Anca was amazing and encouraging and pushed me to my limit then beyond. Many many thanks to The Camp!!!!

I completed the 6 week hard body challenge and I am glad to have done it as I can see the results. I lost 7.1% body fat, which was a little more than the goal of 5% body fat. While doing the challenge, I was required to attend class 5 times per week, do workout homework and do FTDI meal plan. It was tough but it was doable. Luckily, both my husband and I did this challenge together and it was good having extra motivation. I have enjoyed all the workout classes with the various trainers as the classes are fun, always different and the trainers are encouraging! The Camp is a great place and I have already signed up for a membership! read more

Leslie, is a very sweet woman, who clearly told my fiancé and I that part of the requirement to start this program was to add yelp and to add her on Facebook. She added my Fiancé immediately and 12 hours later she still hasn't added me. (You would think that they'd would be on it, if that's part of the requirement.) It's a bit upsetting, because she clearly said it's part of the requirement to get a refund back, to get in the program, to qualify for it, so why is there a delay? Is it a team thing that as long as the "man" is added the woman doesn't need to? I'm confused now. read more

Didn't even know this place existed until a friend of a friend posted a story about sweating here. I was going to scroll down but decided to visit their Instagram page. I am glad that I did. I saw the ad for the 6 week weight loss challenge. Decided to sign up and see what it was about. I hate going to the gym before coming here. I didn't know what I was doing, what equipment to use or how to use it. At the camp you get more than what you expect. You get a trainer, you get a team and family that support you and motivate you. You get to do fun and exciting exercises that trick you into wanting to do another class the same day! You get a variety of trainers and most importantly for me, different class times that can work with my schedule. I never EVER thought o would enjoy and look forward to waking up at 4:30AM to attend my 5:00 AM workout class. I used to refuse it, and go after work to workout. But wow, I love the 5AM classes now. I workout and get my day going, pack my food for the day get ready for work. When the work day is done I can go home and relax... or sometimes I find myself in the mood for another workout class! read more

Honest Review: I signed up for TC in February, about the 3d week into the challenge all gyms got shut down. I came back for the August challenge once it re-opened. All I have to say is- IT WORKS. It was definitely a challenge. You really push your body out of your comfort zone. The staff is super friendly and the coaches push you to do your best. The workouts are FUN and really make you sweat. The most challenging part is the diet, just FTDI and you will lose the weight. Keep the meal preps simple! I will definitely keep practicing things that I learned at The Camp. 1 gallon water intake, portion control on carbs, and eating every 2.5 hours. I'm really considering signing up as a member just to keep going to the fun workout classes and keep my body moving and maintain my weight. Thanks TC! read more

Great intro to the program... looking forward to starting the 6 week challenge on Monday!!

Just finished another supremely successful Member's challenge at The Camp! It wasn't my second (or third ) challenge since becoming a member a couple years ago, but it's the one I have the most motivation for. I gained 30+ pounds with my second pregnancy and need to fit into my wedding dress next summer! But I'm not worried and never had ANY doubts that I would have success because I KNOW that The Camp WORKS! I lost 27.4lbs in 6 weeks! And I'm looking forward to doing another member's challenge right away...gonna see how far this motivation takes me! I know I can reach my goals with the help of The Camp. So grateful for this place. read more

5th Challenge Review: Holy Moly and I really reviewing a FIFTH CHALLENGE!? lol I never would have expected that I'd not only make it this far, but hit so many important milestones too. This challenge was much more difficult than prior challenges but I focused on the advice from the trainers which included things like carb cycling and continuing to do extra cardio and in the end it all paid off! The biggest milestone I met this challenge was losing over 100lbs. I never ever ever would have been able to of done that on my own. I am so grateful for The Camp! I also moved out of the 200s and now weigh in the 100s and can't believe how close I am to my goal weight. Regardless of what happens with my next challenge, I am so proud of how far I've come and so happy to have met all the great people at The Camp. read more

The Camp Transformation Center - Almost done with week 1 of the 6 week challenge! Today's workout was so hard but so good - Boot Camps Near Me - Sand City, California

I just finished my second six week challenge and reached my goal weight! Thanks to the help and support of the staff at Monterey TC I was able to lose a total of 60.1 lbs in those two challenges. The past 13 weeks have been some of the hardest and most rewarding weeks of my life. Me and my wife went into this knowing it was going to be a challenge and a total lifestyle change but what we didn't expect was to find such a motivating and uplifting community of people. I will always be grateful for the help and support we have received at Monterey TC. So thank you to all the wonderful staff and huge thank you to my wife, Sherry, who went along with me on this amazing journey. read more

Thanks to the camp I was able to lose some of my COVID weight I had gained. The classes were fun and kept me working and moving the whole time. Instructors were able to help with modifications when needed and it wasn't the same moves all the time either. After my challenge I decided to become a member and participate again to get down to my goal weight. They are able to help work with you in order to achieve your goals. Only thing I wish was that there were classes at more different times. read more

The Camp TC in Monterey is where it's at!! I've just completed a 6 week challenge and I can't imagine my life before. It was so challenging but so rewarding at the same time. I've done a change on my life while losing weight! One thing I really love about this gym was how you could book all your classes through an app on your phone up to a week in advance. It made it so easy to plan out my week. Overall, I'm feeling more energized and motivated!! You get such a great support system through the staff and you meet some pretty awesome people along the way! If you're thinking/wanting to make a lifestyle change, here is your sign! I started by asking questions and 6 weeks later I've lost 22 lbs! Here's to my next challenge! read more

I've been training at the camp for a week now and I can't even begin to tell you how great this facility. I leave every class feeling like I had the kind of workout needed to achieve my goals. The camp has exercise routines, and meal guidelines for men and women of all body types and fitness levels. There's always a good group of supportive people in every class which is because you feel like you're around family. I had given up on trying to get to my ideal physique, but I found my motivation to once again pursue my fitness goals because of the tools given to me by The Camp Transformation Center Monterey. read more

Just started the membership today very friendly helpful people looks like it is going to be fun and challenging at the same time can't wait to start read more

I just completed my first 6 week challenge at The Camp and am so happy with my results of losing 23 lbs in 6 weeks! The entire staff was extremely supportive during the entire process and gave me tips on how to achieve my goal. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the work outs and the trainers during this process and plan on continuing working out at the gym before beginning my next challenge. I am planning on doing my second challenge in January in hopes to getting closer to my goal weight and can't wait to see what the results are for my second challenge! read more

The Camp TC is the best gym I have joined thus far. There is much more that comes with joining than just a workout. My partner and I decided to take part in the 6 week 20 lbs challenge, and before our first work out we were handed every tool we needed to succeed; nutrition, support & accountability. It's been incredible to see our bodies progress and quite literally transform into a better us! In 6 weeks these trainers have pushed us beyond our limits and we've now reached new heights. I would recommend this program to absolutely ANYBODY. So if you're wondering if you should join, just stop... AND JUST DO IT!! read more

Very expensive if you don't manage to hit your goal, but definitely produces results. I missed the 5% body fat mark by 1%, so I lost my deposit...very disappointing and I'll feel the financial pain soon, but I do feel the experience was worthwhile and rewarding. Don't start the program unless you can afford to lose the deposit. View it as though you are paying $500 for 6-weeks of personal training and accountability to whip your butt back into shape and create the habit of healthy lifestyle choices. The trainers are amazing and always helpful and supportive with an infectious positive attitude! They keep you pumped and motivated throughout every class. They're all certified and can help you modify workouts if you have an injury. Happy with my results, but the diet and fitness regimen is extremely rigid and difficult to maintain, so I hope I don't backtrack too much now that I'm on my own again. The gym membership is also pricey, which does not make it competitive with regular gyms. Think of it like paying for unlimited group HIIT classes. read more

I've been going for a little over a week now. The workouts are intense and the staff of super nice. As a former coach it concerns me when trainers don't offer alternatives for those having difficulty or possibly have medical issues, nor checking for proper form. Overall they do watch over the clients as much as they can but the classes now that the challenge has started are pretty crowded. I'm gonna stick to it and give them a serious chance. Depsite that I would still recommend them because they are helping a lot of people. read more

I decided to commit to this program because although I was running 3-4 days a week on a treadmill I wasn't seeing the results that I would expect to see. At 50, I knew it would take something different. I had been going to various gyms most of my adult life but never consistently. As the years go by, I gained significant amount of weight. I lost 40 lbs 4 years ago and couldn't seem to lose any more. I noticed the ad for THE CAMP. I figured I'd see what this was all about...FREE? I'm so glad I made the decision to join, not only am I learning to eat the right amounts and kinds of foods (although I still hate egg whites and most of my water consumption is done while getting them down), I'm getting stronger every day...but I noticed that my moods have gotten better with the unexpected camaraderie and support of the AFF (I work from home and have ZERO human contact for hours). I succeeded at my 1st Challenge and looking forward to the 2nd Challenge. I like that even if you don't have any weight loss from one week you may still have a NSV (Non-Scale Victory) The only issue I have is that I travel for work and pleasure to some of the cities where there are camps and you are required to sign in as a guest and your 1st and last weigh-ins MUST be done at your home gym in order to meet the contract requirements. Thank you THE CAMP TRANSFORMATION CENTER - Monterey! read more

I went back into The Camp Transformation Center Monterey to sign up for my second challenge. I was a bit apprehensive about returning because I had fallen off the wagon on my workout routine and good eating habits and had put on a lot of weight. Lesley (the owner) was so happy to see me and was completely understanding with my situation that I was instantly relieved and relaxed. That's when I started to look around the gym, they have moved since my first challenge. I was floored at how much bigger the gym was and all the new equipment and apparatus that was inside. Outside the gym's parking problems were no longer because of a huge parking lot and plenty of nearby street parking. I discussed with Lesley what challenge would best fit my needs and we decided to do the 20 lbs. loss challenge in six weeks. I was given my booklet that explained the process and most importantly the eating plan for the challenge. I began my workouts really struggling to hang in there. As the weeks past and weight began to shed from my body I was able to keep up and push harder and harder. Then the Covid-19 shelter in place hit. I was about two-thirds complete and was worried that I wouldn't be able to complete my challenge. To my relief The Camp Monterey FB page and The National Camp FB page posted workouts daily. There was also viewing parties and the ability to communicate with trainers and other members. I was able to complete the workouts at home with items from the house. I was also fortunate to have my own dumbbell set that was put into good use. I scheduled a private time to come in for my final weigh in and to my surprise my weight loss was 24.6 lbs in the six weeks. I miss The Camp and I am looking forward to when it reopens I have decided to roll my challenge entry fee into my third challenge this one will be a hardbody challenge. My plan after my third challenge is to purchase a membership so I never fall off the wagon again! 4-14-20 read more

I officially finished my 2nd challenge. I'm so happy I decided to join the camp Monterey back in April best decision . All the trainers are amazing and motivating you all thru your work out . The staff is amazing always greeting you by your name when you walk in. I didn't loss my 20lbs in this challenge but I'm so happy with my overall 28.8lbs loss and with my NSV. I decided to join the Camp Monterey as a member can't wait to reach my weight goal and be surrounded by people with the same goal in mind. read more

The staff are very encouraging, the atmosphere is positive. On my third day of six week 20lbs challenge

Good workout. The gym is way too full now and almost impossible to get in for the early morning classes. The staff does not encourage anyone that is struggling with the weight. The focus is only on those that are losing good amounts of weight . Very easy to get lost in the crowds after signing up and paying . read more

If you have tried everything to lose weight and to get healthy with minimal results or just don't know what to try... try this! I started the 6 week challenge on Oct 30, 2017 with aching knees and low energy. 6 weeks later, I was more than 20 lbs lighter, had much less knee pain, and I am doing physical things that I have not done in years or have never done. It is easy (even when it is not). Just commit, show up and do what the instructors tell you. It is a positive community and a proven process with professional instructors. Lesley and her team at The Camp Transformation Center Monterey are awesome! I am wrapping up a 4 week break between challenges and have already lost another 10 lbs by just following my new learned habits. I am excited to start the next 6 week challenge...wish I did this 6 years ago! read more

I have mixed emotions about THE CT the staff is great and friendly,motivating and helpful the atmosphere is energetic. The only one thing I was disappointed in is that they have you check on Facebook and yelp every time you go to a class that how they keep track of how many time you go to class. I would give a 5 STAR for the staff, workouts but for the rest of the social media stuff I can't that just no me. Hope this helps any other future members. read more

It has now been 6 weeks since I started my hard body challenge. I have always been an athlete and to an extent pretty fit but, I didn't know about all the work that is required in order to reach low body fat goals. Thanks to the friends and fit family we have here at the camp I have learned so much. At first it is a different environment even if you have been to gyms before because they never keep track of your visits or keep you on check with how you eat, but once you get used it, it is an amazing environment with awesome people looking to help you become better. You will always be pushed to give it your best and always give that last rep. Any question you have whether it is for an exercise or any food related question they are always there to break it down for you in order to succeed in you fit or health goals. This is something that is not really meant for quitters!! read more

I recommend the camp to anyone who is looking to get into shape and needs encouragement/motivation to work out. I did the 6 week hard body challenge and was able to lose 7% body fat. If you just really dedicate yourself to the meal plan and workout 5x a week then you will definitely reach your goal. The hardest part is getting yourself to go to the gym but will never regret it afterwards! The classes are very fun and the trainers are helpful in making sure you are correctly doing the exercises. The camp is such a fun experience! Keep in mind their hours and your own schedule if you decide to sign up for a challenge. read more

Great trainers! Great workouts! Great people! It definitely took a lot of discipline and a lot self motivation to lose the necessary weight... but I wouldn't have been able to do it on my own if it weren't for this place. Those who also attend are very encouraging and most understand the process you go through. Plus if you're going to pay that much to not use the unlimited workouts why bother? It's worth it! read more

I constantly am on a diet but never have held myself accountable. That changed when I joined the camp. I completely my first challenge barely but I did it and I'm on to the second. I'm only down 20.3 but before I'm done with challenges I plan to be down 40 pounds. The trainers are amazing and there is such a wonderful support system not only in person but also online! I love the camaraderie and look forward to getting my ass kicked. Once I'm done with challenges I'm becoming a member and maintaining this quality of life! Get your life back and make some great friends while you do it. read more
