For the past seven years Fitness For Living has been energizing adults with its fun, challenging and at times wacky Fitness Boot Camps. Our goal is to help motivate, educate, support and encourage adults to get fit, get outdoors and get active!

Each year we read all of the comments and feedback that we receive from our campers and continually improve our program. We are so confident that you will love our Boot Camps and that you will find that we have exceeded your expectations that we guarantee your satisfaction.(available for most camp locations - follow the preceding link for details). Last year we didn't have anyone take us up on our guarantee and we hope to continue our perfect record.

Read through our testimonials, email us any of your questions or concerns, or better yet - give us a call so we can talk to you personally. We want to make sure that Fitness For Living's Boot Camps are right for you.


Your Trainers

Each of our trainers are certified Personal Trainers, but more importantly, they love what they do and are committed to having each Boot Camp participant have their expectations not just met - but exceeded.

They love instructing, and enjoy the challenge of creating inspiring classes that will push you to your limit in fun and rewarding ways. Equally important, they are great listeners and they want to hear how camp is going for you and how they can make your experience even better.

His philosophy on fitness and life is simple – Make it Fun! If it is not fun you won’t do it; you’ll always have an internal struggle staying motivated – whether it is work or play.

“I appreciate the preparation and enthusiasm you bring to class.
It makes for a great atmosphere for working out.”

“ I really want to take this time to say how great a trainer Linzee is! I am in my 2nd session and plan on doing this the whole summer mostly because of her. Other trainers or coaches I've had in the past cannot compare to Linzee. She has the perfect mix of tough love, motivation, and friendliness. She takes the time to focus and guide each one of us, and it's like she has eyes in the back of her head because you can't slack off when you think she's not watching because she will catch you! She pushes each one of us to work past the point we would have given up on our own. Plus she is funny which also makes Boot Camp more enjoyable!!

Terri Garden - Trainer
 

You will find Terri cheering on our M/W/F Scott Carpenter morning Boot Campers this season. Over the past 12 years, Terri has done it all in the fitness industry and we are honored to have her as part of the FFL team.

Terri is certified in Personal Training, Group Training and Spinning. Continually looking to broaden her teaching regimen, she has taken courses in: One on One Partner Training, Innovative Drills For Small Group Training, Metabolic Training Sequencing Strategies, Metabolic Protocols, TRX Suspension Training, Body Weight Training, Progression Periodization for Power and Boot Camp. Name it, Terri has taught it!

Terri has competed in marathons and sprint and Olympic distance triathlons. She raced in college for BYU’s ski team, competing all 4 years in Slalom and Giant Slalom and has coached kids in ski racing, track and soccer. Above all, Terri excels at working with adults of all abilities and is extremely passionate about health, fitness and helping people to achieve their very best!

As long as Terri keeps teaching boot camp, I will probably keep signing up because it is exactly what I need.

Terri has pushed us to work hard without pressuring us to work beyond our fitness level.  She challenges us to learn our own intensity levels and work within and beyond those, without making the class competitive.  The exercises allow us to always get the most out of them without having to wait for others or feel like others are waiting for us.
The great thing is that Terri suggests modifications for exercises depending on your current ability level and things are done according to time. So, everyone works at their own ability level.




Heath Croll - Trainer
 

Heath has successfully trained adults and young athletes in a boot camp style workouts for over 10 years.  He holds a B.S. in Heath and Physical Education as well as a minor in coaching.  Currently, Heath is certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine as a Performance Enhancement Specialist.  Additionally, via the International Youth Conditioning Association (IYCA), he obtained certification as a Youth Conditioning Specialist.  Heath believes in helping people of all ages find their inner athletes.  Outside of the fitness world, Heath enjoys numerous outdoor adventures such as hiking, kayaking, and backpacking.

Heath has an amazing ability to alter the exercises to each person. Whatever each person's level or challenges, he's constantly making (seemingly seamless) adjustments to keep them at what is challenging, but safe. I really recommend Boot Camp to folks who want coaching to become stronger, at any level!.
