What's your business, and who are your customers?
At Fit Body Boot Camp, our fitness classes are not “classes” in the traditional sense but results-driven sessions focused on weight loss and body toning. AFTERBURN: TWICE THE WORKOUT IN HALF THE TIME! Our signature 30-minute Afterburn workouts combine High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) with Active Rest Training to produce fun workouts that burn twice the calories in half the time and keep your metabolism running at a higher rate for up to 36 hours post-workout. Every Fit Body Boot Camp session is led by a certified coach to ensure that you get the best workout and most fat burn while keeping you safe and injury free!
