Testimonials

I started Bootcamp on May 3rd as a way to get back in shape after my long distance running was ended due to a knee injury. I was looking for a way to regain the strength I had when I was running. I have definitely felt the pain that a good workout can bring after running several marathons but none of that had prepared me for the day after my first Bootcamp with Sandra. I had to fly to Phoenix and I must admit I was unsure if I could get off the plane after sitting for 4 hours I was that sore. As much as I was in pain after the first class it did get better and after eight weeks, I have lost 12lbs of fat and gained 8lbs of muscle.

More importantly I feel great and have tons of energy. Thank you Sandra for helping me regain the strength I had lost and for showing how what I eat is related to how I feel..

All the girls in our morning class worked so hard and I am very excited by what I have been able to achieve along side them. Prior to joining Bootcamp Goddess I worked out at a gym with a personal trainer 3 times a week and within the 12 months of doing so never did I achieve the results I did with you and your program.

Thank you so much for not negotiating on what you expect of your clients. Although I thought I’d have extreme difficultly complying with the no alcohol and no Ruffle potato chip rule, stopping cold turkey was really the only way to go. I owe a great portion of my results to completely cutting out Ruffles for the last 8 weeks (never to go back I might add) and cold turkey on the alcohol consumption for the first 4 weeks and very moderate intake (by pre 8 week standards) for the last 4 weeks.

The big difference I found between your program and the gym was your commitment to not only our work outs but to our eating habits and what we actually consumed on a daily basis. At the gym there were no pre and post measures, no healthy eating assessments, no guidance and no establishment of personal health or fitness goals. It was your commitment in this area that I respect the most. The change was hard at first but the benefits soon out weighted the cons. Within the first few days of cutting out all processed and boxed or packaged foods, as you recommended, I was sleeping throughout the night where prior I’d wake up once or twice without fail.

I found making the change was more about awareness of what I ate and not about depriving myself of what I should not eat. Sure I had the sugar cravings the first few weeks but keeping my sights of the bigger goal of reducing my body fat percent (I couldn’t believe my initial reading!!) soon put that to rest! I was more aware of what exercise I actually did (or didn’t do) on off days and made a conscious effort to move, garden, ride my bike, anything to keep the fitness piece in check.

Funny, when I put my mind to it, it really didn’t take much to get the results. __Thanks for sharpening my awareness and for your guidance along the way. I highly recommend you and your program to anyone wanting to make a lasting change.

Joining Bootcamp Goddess has been one of the best decisions I have made….just for me!  Sandra is that ‘super smart motivating best friend’ we all wish we had. If you are ready to make a change for the better this is the BEST place to start!!  After my 2 beautiful daughters were born, the baby weight was just not coming off….a whopping 82 lbs with my first and 78 lbs with my second.  A friend of mine heard of Bootcamp Goddess, so I called Sandra to set up a meeting.   She continuously reminds me of my motivations; to feel healthy and strong…losing a few pounds along the way doesn’t hurt either.Sandra will help you find your motivation and help you stay on track. This woman is incredible!!  Get involved before she is swooped away by the celebrities…

Sandra, thank you for everything….your time, your patience, your genius….and most of all for reminding me that my well being is the most important thing….especially now not just for myself, but for my two beautiful daughters too…..Thank you, Sandra!!

I appreciate the contributions that Bootcamp has made to my life. Thank you for all of your guidance, support, efforts to help us (& me in particular) become the best we can be! I truly appreciate your influence… I know I wouldn’t be as strong (mentally & physically) as I am today if I hadn’t met you! For that I …am very grateful!

Thanks again for all your ongoing support and making camp so AWESOME – it is so rewarding to see results, feel better in all areas of life, and be surrounded by such a great group of ladies at the same time!  You are amazing and continue to motivate me everyday, so thank you!

You rock ! I’ve never been so motivated to work out before!

-Girisha, camper since March 2010

just wanted to say I Love coming to bootcamp. The past five months has challenged me to move my body in ways I never thought I could and to also challenge myself to change the way in which I percieve the world. Your guidance and support has helped me to relax more and take things in stride. One of the most important things I learnt from you and always remember is “to observe more and react less.” This has helped in all aspects of my life. So thank you for helping me to feel healthy, both mentally and physically, and for the first time in a long time comfortable in my own skin!

XOXOXO

Sandra, I would like to thank you for keeping me motivated over the past 8 months in bootcamp! When I started I never thought bootcamp would change not only my physical well-being but also my spirtual well-being. Your positive attitude about life and your energy have helped me to become a more positive person, and I believe this has helped me to achieve my dream of attending law school.

Thank you so much!!!

XOXOXO

Love Sarah

- Note from Meaghan Malone to Sandra April 2009

Last year at this time I would have told you that I reached my goal, that I was done, that didn’t want to lose anymore, I was pretty content with myself.Looking back throughout this past year I have done unbelievable things, pushed myself in ways I never thought possible… completing a 10k, a Triathlon, and losing an additional 15lbs since when last years picture was taken. Continuing with bootcamp 3 days a week in combination with healthy clean eating and cardio on my non bootcamp days have kept me on track.
I’m so lucky to have met you (Sandra), you still (even after almost 2 years) motivate me everyday. It has been a gift to have you by my side, cheering me on, pushing me. You are an amazing person, trainer & friend!
Thank you :)

In the past I had a trainer and even he could only get me so far…bootcamp has gotten me

further then I ever thought possible.

BootcampGoddess has improved my eating habits, my health and physical ability… empowered me mentally with a feeling of accomplishment after each session, allowed me the opportunity to meet new people, see results in one session, and challenge my self physically.

Sandra certainly cares as an instructor about each student and their overall health which is a personal touch that I’m sure is not common with the other bootcamps.- Samantha Thomson

The initial assessment is very informative and provides a good starting point. I also like the fact that there are goals set at the very beginning and a follow up at the end of the session.
- Stacey Noakes

I don’t feel intimidated as a newbie. You encourage me where I’m at. You motivate us quietly. I couldn’t handle anyone barking at me.
- Elizabeth Layne

The community fitness classes now feel like little warm-ups compared to the workout I get with Bootcamp Goddess.
- Michelle West

I joined at the end of March 09 and am on my way to having lost over 10 inches and nearly 20 lbs with my fair share of cheat days. It is hard, rewarding work that I now look forward to doing every week.

BootcampGoddess has made me feel healthier and more self confident…in a bikini! Finally am getting back into shape after 2 kids.
- Shelley Findlay

BootcampGoddess has made a positive influence on me and my interactions in the world. I also really like the quotes – positive, inspirational, kick ass etc. that you include – they are often little gems that allow you to look at things just a little differently and inspire me to treat myself a little more kindly!

Boot Camp for me has been a life changing experience.
