I do have KBs that I incorporate but I disagree that if you are not using them you are falling behind. Do you make this comment because KBs are the new fad in fitness (not that they are going to fade away or anything like that) and people want to feel they are on cutting edge fitness? Do you find that you can't do the same "KB exercises" with a dumbbell of similar weight? Thanks for your thoughts I'm curious about your comment on using kettlebells and saying that an instructor is falling behind if they are not using them.

I got 'greedy' for a minute and was running 40ppl bootcamps in an indoor facility. My wakeup call came when one client fell and bumped her head HARD against a trampoline. You're right - either keep a maximum... OR give 3 or more fitness models free bootcamp access in exchange for their assistance during the workouts. Hey Chris,

Ha! I agree with keeping it small enough to be safe and also highly effective and fun at the same time. Thanks, again for everything you do for us. Robin Hi Chris,

My fav thing for Bootcamp right now are the bands and using them for partner work. Got to love team spirit! We use Volo to keep track of our business and that allows us to cap attendance at each class and the clients can go online and reserve the classes they are coming to.

I still remember the Drill Instructors pushing us to be better and that was 20 years ago. We run our Boot Camps in kind of the same fashion. No flashy spandex, just good old fashion hard work and sweat. I tell them all it helps purify the body. Keep up the great work and continued success. Hey Chris, I totally agree with you.

The marketing to get people into a bootcamp is imporatnt but then you have to know how to train the clients professionally. We use kettle bells for everything, I love them! Good post.
