These Ladies Love What Boot Camp Has Done For Them!
"It was AWESOME! Loved it!"
Lynn (after her first workout)
"This is the first "Boot Camp" I have ever participated in and I have to say it is
all I hoped it would be... and more!
The program Margie has put together is not only challenging but "Fun" and varied every day.
It is also nice that the other women in the group are of all ages, sizes and levels of ability.
I might add that I am not a morning person but once I am there I feel alive!
The location is wonderful at Tunxis Mead Park...
and my favorite part is the trail through the woods along the Farmington River.
I am only sorry that I will have to stop once my 12 sessions have ended as I am moving away for a while. However, I will definitely be looking forward to restarting next summer.
Lastly...I don't think I will ever forget... "exercise and you won't feel old"!
Thanks Margie :-)
Lynne Daniels, Farmington, CT
"So this morning when you told us to split up, runners going with Bill and walkers staying with you,
I was planning on staying with you. As the runners started heading out, you said "Come on, more of you can run than that!" and I figured you were talking to me so I challenged myself and went out for a great run in the woods. I did pretty good with the "advanced" group and was pleased with my performance. Also, three new ladies had started today and went with the runners, so I told them what they can expect and made a few new friends. I LOVE boot camp. Very happy to have this excuse to get off my a**.
Thanks, Margie and Bill."

And More From Our Happy Campers
"One of the things that I like most about Boot Camp is working out with a group of women
who also want to improve their bodies and minds in some way.
We are all different sizes and shapes and Margie makes it work for all of us.
Margie, thank you for making working out "fun" and for introducing us to what natural resources we have right in front of us that we can utilize and be creative with to make a productive and enjoyable workout.
I can definitely feel a difference in my core strength. Thanks again."
Elisa Marcoux, Burlington
“I never thought I’d enjoy being anywhere at 6 a.m. on a regular basis,
but boot camp is fun and feels good both during and after.”
Alice Ericson, Canton
"When I signed up for my trial day...i was terrified!
But I said to myself... "Think of it as starting a new job. You're going to stink at it at first but if you stick with it you can only get better. No one can walk in their first day and hit the ground runnning."
But it was much better than that...
Everyone was so nice and for once I felt comfortable to work at my level and concentrate on my target areas without feeling pressured or incapable. This is the dream i have been looking for.
Sooner than later I'll be back to my old self and I can hardly wait! Thanks to Margie!"
Brooke, Avon
"I began Boot Camp half way through my weight loss journey and the class has given me the persistence to feel that I can meet my final fitness and weight loss goals. The other women are inspiring and being outside and away from the gym is the best part. Everyone is at a different level and the goal is to improve for yourself, not to compete. I would highly recommend the class to anyone at any level, beginner to expert!"
Jill Flaks Polinsky, Avon
"Boot Camp makes everything I do easier...
Biking, kayaking, getting something off a bottom shelf, even buttoning my jeans:
all easier with Margie's strength training. And she makes it fun!"
Judi Crowley, Burlington
"One of the best decisions I have ever made was to join your Boot Camp.
In just a few short weeks, I feel invigorated and I am already feeling more energy throughout the day.
I look forward to coming to class and getting an awesome workout.
I am completely comfortable around you and the other campers and you are an excellent coach!
You work us hard, but at the same time, it's fun and enjoyable!"
Laurie Bocchetta, Winsted
"My clothes are looser, I have more energy throughout the day,
and I’ve discovered that I love the morning workout."
Annette Cuscovitch, South Windsor
"Thanks, Margie! You're doing a great job as our coach/mentor...
inspirational, yet not intimidating, fun, but serious too. I am really enjoying 'camp'.
Monday's class was really hard for me, but I'm really feeling great, and energized. Thanks."
Laura Kinyon, Avon
"Boot Camp has helped me realize how effective a core workout can be.
I'm getting into shape after having twins a few years ago and I'm starting to see results.
I enjoy the outside workouts and the fresh air and think our group makes it easier to keep going."
Silvana D'Arche, West Simsbury
"Riding up a tough hill on my mountain bike today I really felt my abs working and when my legs
started to burn I was able to keep going. I have Boot Camp to thank for that.
It's mental as well as physical; I knew I could keep going! Thanks, Margie and fellow campers!
One week of keeping track [of my food intake, and Margie giving me feedback] and
I've lost several pounds and my cravings are gone.
I always thought I ate a healthy diet, with occasional indulgences, but once I started measuring vegetables and counting cookies I saw my daily intake for what it really is (was). Just knowing I'm going to have to be accountable to myself by writing down everything I eat helps me make better decisions. It helps with the guilt, too.
Before I would just sigh and think, well, I've blown it, I might as well eat a few more.
Now, instead of feeling guilty, I write it down and let it go. Keeping a food log has been an eye opener.
But the best part is that most of the time I'm not tempted to overindulge because I feel so good!"
Judi Crowley, Burlington
"I am wearing clothes I haven't been able to get into in a long time.
I can button my jackets that I had to leave open because they were too tight.
I have to say when I first received your Boot Camp e-mail, the words that motivated me to try it were 'lose a clothing size', and that's why I joined. I was a little worried about coming due to my age (62) and ability,
but you made me feel comfortable to do what I could and work as hard as I could.
I just want to say it's been a great experience and accomplishment to try Boot Camp. I am glad I came.
Thanks for being a great coach/trainer."
Barbara Atwood, New Hartford
"I enjoy Boot Camp and it makes me feel good the rest of the day.
Being able to wear clothes that I haven't been able to wear for over a year is such a good feeling
and an incentive to keep working hard on my exercise/fitness program.
It isn't easy for me, but I have noticed now that I can run farther than I could before getting out of breath
and I can hold positions longer than I could when I started.
I didn't want to lose the momentum I had gained in the first month, so I joined for a second month."
Barbara Atwood, New Hartford
"I have totally enjoyed working out with the Boot Camp for the past four weeks.
I really like the group environment, it's so much easier, enjoyable and encouraging to exercise with others."
Loren Gelber, Avon
"I didn't feel self-conscious at all, the way I usually do at a gym.
Fit Core Boot Camp felt like a cozy camaraderie of smart, "real" women - some working, some moms, all fun!"
Thanks for all, Margie!
Deb Zimmerman
"I've been taking a nationally-known exercise class for over five years now, and never during those
five years have I experienced more mental and physical changes than in the past six weeks with Boot Camp.
I realized a while ago that I hit that 'weight-loss plateau', but since beginning
Boot Camp I have found that I am mentally more alert and active
(no more need for that 3 p.m. caffeine break!), and my muscles are more toned than even two months ago.
Margie subtlety increases the intensity for every cardio and strength-training exercise each week,
which makes the class challenging, and also means that I am getting so much more out of every workout."
Michelle Weathers, Simsbury
"I have more energy to keep me going all day.”
Anne-Marie Sladewski, Avon
“The nutrition coaching is important to me. Margie teaches us a healthier way to eat.
I feel better and as I get more fit I find I don’t want to eat the crap any more.”
MaryAnn Montano, Avon
“The full-body workouts in Boot Camp are helping me to get in top shape
for a 3-day, 60-mile breast cancer walk in November.”
Kathy Madden, Unionville
"It’s amazing the transformation in just a few short weeks!
In one Boot Camp session I had lower stress, more energy, and increased muscle tone.
Not only do I physically feel better, but I’ve developed friendships along the way with
others who are looking to make healthy choices for themselves.
Margie makes everyone feel right at home, no matter what fitness level,
she works with each individual to set personal goals and helps encourage them every step of the way!”
Michelle Voegtle, Simsbury
