Danger In The Gym-Local Fitness Pro Spills The Beans Warning Consumers

December 2010-Local fitness expert Chris Gray reveals a new consumer awareness guide to spill the beans about poorly educated trainers and boot-camps that don't stack up!

Boot-Camp is the hottest fitness craze to hit the industry in years and now more than ever during tough economic times with boot-camps offering lower cost options it seems boot-camps are gaining even more popularity.

Gray warns consumers that boot camp training is not regulated and anyone can start a boot camp regardless of training or experience. Gray, who is the president of Punch Kettlebell Gym in Dover and runs one of the top boot-camp programs in the state, reminds consumers to do their research and choose wisely.

There are new boot-camps starting all around us but before you commit yourself to just any program be sure to get the answers to these questions first:

1. Certifications?-Ensure your instructors are certified! This may seem like a no brainer but don’t assume that just because the instructors work at a gym that they are certified.

2.Experience?-Even more important than a certification is experience! Be sure that the program and trainers of the boot-camp you’re investigating are backed by years of experience and proven results.

3.Structured System?-It is easy to throw a few exercises together and call it boot-camp. As the consumer you must make sure that the boot-camp program is structured and has a very precise system to ensure safe forward progress.

4.Complete Fitness System?- One of the biggest mistakes in fitness today is not following a complete fitness system that includes all the key components for success. To be sure you provide yourself with the best chance for success make sure the boot-camp program you choose has all the key elements listed here:

Nutrition-90% of results come from proper nutrition! Without this key element in place you simply will not succeed; so be sure that your boot-camp program focuses closely on nutrition
and provides you with a structured plan to follow.

Strength Training-Muscle is our biggest ally in the war against fat. The more muscle you have the more fat you burn. Those who lift weights will be 40% more successful in accomplishing their fitness goals than those who do cardiovascular exercise alone.

Cardiovascular Training- To optimize fat loss. There are many different kinds of cardio training all having a slightly different effect on the body. Doing the wrong kind of cardiovascular exercise could prevent you from accomplishing your goals so get a coach to guide you in the right direction to accomplish your specific goals.

Fitness Testing- Testing the body on a regular basis will ensure you continue forward progress and prevent wasted time and effort. You must ensure that your boot-camp program includes regular fitness analysis testing and tracking.

Flexibility- Injuries are prominent in this industry so in order to prevent injury, flexibility must be addressed.

Accountability- For some this is the most important key of all…Having a trained and experienced professional guide you on your journey to success and keep you committed and on track at all times could mean the difference between success or failure

Gray says when making an investment in your health be picky and don’t settle for substandard boot-camps. When making your choice if you can confirm with confidence that the program includes every detail mentioned here then you have a winner on your hands and with commitment you should be very successful. On the other hand if you fail to make what we talked about here a priority you will set yourself up for certain failure and possible injury.
