I have struggled with my weight most of my adult life. I had been losing weight by going to Weight Watchers and working out at the gym, and I had lost 25lbs when I reached a plateau. That is when a friend found the ad for Jaye’s boot camp.

I thought she was crazy. I had been in the army before and the last thing I wanted was someone screaming at me. But before I knew it we had signed up and also enlisted two other friends to join. I actually signed up for twice a week!

Jaye’s boot camp turned out to be a wonderful experience. There was no screaming after all – it was fun and motivational. During those 8 weeks of boot camp, I continued to follow Weight Watchers and worked out mornings at the gym doing both cardio and weight training. Jaye inspired me to stick to my plan and I lost 15 pounds during boot camp. She also helped me realize that my goals are attainable through patience, perseverance, and persistence.

I’m excited about beginning the next round of boot camp because I know it’s another tool that will help me reach my ultimate fitness goal.

In early 2003, I felt like I'd gained a lot of weight in recent years. I had once attended aerobics class regularly, but my hectic work schedule made it difficult to get to the gym. I was walking only occasionally.

In February, I was engaged to be married in August. I enjoyed exercising, but needed motivation. I also needed a scheduled appointment to pull me away from work. I considered working with a trainer. A friend told me about Jaye.

In April, I started training three days a week with Jaye. I did not have high expectations and thought loosing a few pounds would be great. Deep down, I wanted to get back to the weight of my twenties. I ate a lot of sugary foods, so I started cutting my sugar intake. Jaye also gave me information about healthy nutrition. I kept a food journal to identify my typical calorie intake.With these changes, along with walking three to four times a week, I lost five pounds in the first month. By my wedding, I lost fifteen pounds! Jaye also took body fat measurements to record my progress.
I dropped two clothes sizes and gained definition in my arms, legs and abs.

Working with Jaye has been a very positive experience. She taught me how to change daily habits for a healthier lifestyle to keep the weight off. At first, it was hard, but now the good food choices I make are a habit and exercise is part of my life every week. Jaye was my personal motivater. She made it fun
for me.

I've never liked to exercise, and hadn't worked out in five years before attending Spring Boot Camp 2003. It was challenging, but I could set my own pace. I enjoyed being outside, and I got into shape fast! Each week, we would try to beat the number of push ups and sit ups possible in two minutes. On the first class, I could do only three military push ups, and twenty five sit ups. When boot camp ended, I had increased my push ups to twenty, and sit ups to forty one!

Jaye is now my personal trainer. She tailored an exercise plan to work with my lifestyle and schedule. In just four months, I've lost 14 pounds of fat and gained four pounds of muscle. I have more endurance, strength and energy than I thought possible.

If I can do it, anyone can. Boot Camp started me on a path of fitness and nutrition that I plan to stay on for life. With Jaye's help, I've become the person I always wanted to be, but never thought I could be. Fun Fitness has literally changed my life!

Stacy's update:
I started training with Jaye, following a weekly food goal and making smart food choices nine months before my 20 year high school reunion.
At the reunion, hardly anyone recognized me and I got a lot of compliments.
Two guys who had never given me a second glance in high school made passes at me.
I had a lot of fun and felt great about myself.
I could not have done it without Jaye's help.

Jaye's Boot Camp was a great experience for me. Having a buddy makes it fun and much easier to meet a regular commitment. It's more fun doing anything with a friend, especially exercising! We told jokes to help pass the time during the drills. Car pooling also made a big difference. I knew someone was waiting for me. Sleeping in wasn't an option. Boot Camp helped me get back on a track of regular exercise. It was just difficult enough to push me without burning out. The workouts were challenging and fun. Thanks to the program, I have been working out on a weekly basis for an
entire year!

I sought help from Jaye at a time when I had let my physical activities ebb and was looking to jumpstart my energy level and routine. I was 51 – not overweight, but clearly out of shape, lethargic and stressed. My expectations for a training program have been more than surpassed. My sessions at the Fun Fitness studio are just that – fun, as well as energizing, inspiring and stimulating. Jaye provides individually designed instruction and motivation that keep you working safely toward your goals while addressing challenges you face along the way. Jaye's upbeat and affirming approach, dedication to her clients, commitment to health and well-being, and impressive knowledge of her field all work together to ensure success.

Before I met Jaye I was frustrated by my inability to stay on track. I could make it to the Gym to do an aerobics class, but strength training and eating right – forget it! Fun Fitness has helped me by not only forcing me to set goals, but also by holding my feet to the fire. Thanks to Jaye, for the first time in my life I am accountable for my own level of fitness. Jaye is a terrific motivator. I have gained strength, added muscle and improved my self-confidence. But most encouragingly, I now have the will to continue on this program unassisted!
