I’ve struggled with my weight for 20+ years, and my current work-out regimen wasn’t working, I thought: what do I have to lose?

Needless to say I had a lot to lose and so much to gain! To date, I’ve lost 30.5 pounds, 7% body fat and I’ve lost more than 2 dress sizes! My confidence level has increased and I feel great. My goal is to lose 55 pounds by my 55th birthday in October! In training last week I had two free weights and was able to chest press 40 pounds (each arm) assisted and 35 pounds unassisted! When I started, I was using 15 pounds.

In January I posed in the photo as a plus sized, middle aged woman that felt ‘okay’ but didn’t have direction. Today, I am standing confident and people have commented that I’ve changed. Boy, I have changed as I’m no longer having to go to the plus sized department!

I want to thank Jamie Plunkett of Boot Camp 360KC for my success. I know that I couldn’t have made it without him. He’s been my trainer, my motivator, my reality check and sometimes a therapist! I’m not done but more than half-way there! It’s an exciting journey and it’s been a life changing experience.

I could tell you 100 reasons why I enjoy Bootcamp 360, like Jamie and his staff of trainers are amazing and supportive, or that the workouts are always changing so I don’t get bored, or that the camaraderie of the other bootcampers is great and they are just like me, struggling with those trouble spots, but the MOST important reason I like bootcamp 360 is the fact that I am seeing RESULTS!!! Even after just 6 weeks, my clothes feel better, my butt is more firm, my legs are toned, my arms are toned, and “hello” I have actually found my shoulders again. And for the first time, in a long while, I am actually wearing sleeveless tops and shorts without embarrassment!!!  So yes, I recommend Jamie Plunkett fitness and Bootcamp 360 to everybody! Come on and join us,  the only thing you have to lose…is inches!!

I started Boot Camp 360 KC in late January after a friend asked me to try it with her. I had been going to another bootcamp for almost 9 months without any real results. I felt like I was getting a good workout, but the scale and my clothes weren’t showing it. I was really frustrated. I felt like I was working hard but nothing was working for me. I decided to give Jamie and Bootcamp 360 a try, at least for a couple weeks. I met with Jamie and had my body fat tested and a review of my nutrition. My body fat was worse than I had imagined. I followed Jamie’s advice and began going to bootcamp 3 times a week and got better and better at following the nutrition plan he designed for me. I started out using 5 and 8 lb weights and quickly found myself needing to increase the weight week by week. I was getting stronger and the weight started coming off! I am now down 18 lbs and have gained 8 lbs of muscle! I now use weights in class as big as 35 lbs. I’m seeing changes in my body that are just “WOW” to me! I’ve gotten firmer, more muscular, have more definition and even abs now! My rear is lifted and firmer and I’m in shock at how small my waist has gotten. I catch myself just staring at different parts of my body in awe at how much it has changed. I can easily see another 20lbs coming off of me! Before Bootcamp 360, all of this just sounded like a fairy tale to me. I never thought I’d ever get myself back to the shape I used to be in, let alone in BETTER shape than I was in my 20s! I’m a true believer in Jamie and appreciate all he has done for me, as well as his staff, Kathi & Robin! What Jamie teaches is not just a fad diet or magic pill or something you stay on for 3 months, and then 6 months later gain all the weight back, like I’ve seen so many people do. He teaches us a lifestyle change.

I started Boot Camp 360 KC in November of 2011. I had tried several diets over the years and was an avid walker but I could not achieve lasting results. One of the first questions Jamie asked me during my assessment was – How serious are you about losing weight? I replied – Extremely Serious!! He then “prescribed” a nutrition and exercise program for me.

Boot Camp has become somewhat of an addiction for me. Not being a morning person I was not sure I could stick to the early morning regime. I soon found getting up was not a chore as I thoroughly enjoyed the classes. Within weeks I started seeing results – my clothes were looser and I was able to increase weights on an incremental basis. The boot camp instructors are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. They all want you to succeed. My “classmates” are also supportive, friendly, and feel the same “pain”.

Shortly after I joined, Boot Camp 360 KC rolled out “The Biggest Loser Holiday Holdouts Edition” contest. It was an eight week program from November 21 to January 9. The time frame included holiday gatherings – Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. I was consistent in both my exercise and nutrition programs – a little cheating here and there. To my surprise, at the end of the eight week period I had lost 9% body fat, 15 pounds and won the coveted title of being “The Biggest Loser” – a title I am very proud of. Without Jamie and his team it would have not been possible. I still have a way to go to reach my goals but I now have the confidence and support needed for me to succeed!

I had tried to exercise on my own for a long time but never really achieved any measurable results.  I joined Boot Camp 360 KC about 6 months ago and the results started to come immediately.  The structured weight program coupled with the nutritional guidance have helped me lose over 20 pounds and 10 percent body fat over the last 6 months.  Jamie and his staff provide a positive environment to help motivate you to work towards your goals.  They provide support and are always available to answer questions you have on your training or nutrition.  When I started the program, I wanted to maximize the benefits that I got from a limited number of hours working out each week.  The program that I have followed at Boot Camp 360 KC has accomplished exactly that goal.  I don’t feel like I spend a lot of my free time after work at the gym and I have achieved great results.  If you want to lose weight, get stronger, and still have plenty of time to devote to other important things in your life, then the Boot Camp 360 KC program is the place to be.  The program works and will get you results!

I knew I needed to lose weight and had tried different weight loss programs, gym memberships, and even thought about bariatric surgery. It wasn’t until I met Nancy, (now one of my trainers) – who introduced me to Jamie Plunkett and the rest of the Boot Camp 360 KC family – that I decided that I could finally lose the weight.

Since starting in October 10, 2011, I have lost over 30 pounds, and I’ve gained the confidence in myself to know that I can do whatever I set my mind to.  I am at my halfway point in my weight loss journey, and with the support of my trainers and my new boot camp friends, I am ready tackle the rest of the weight and whatever life has to throw at me!  Stay tuned for a new me……!

My experience at Boot Camp 360 KC has been extremely positive.  It has allowed me to get into shape and has taught me how to maintain proper health and nutrition.  Recently my husband started coming to Boot Camp for the 21 Day Challange.  Now he is hooked too!  It has been a very positive experience for us both as individuals and as a couple.

While my original weight loss came from strictly cardio driven workouts, bootcamp has help me succeed in many other ways besides the extreme weight loss that others experience. I entered the program on a whim a little over two months ago as I was struggling to understand why, with constant workouts and portion control, I couldn’t gain the muscle that I wanted.  The bootcamp program helped me gain knowledge about what my body was craving and allowed me to understand a new eating regimen.  I lost 10 pounds and 3% of my my body fat and gained CONFIDENCE, which ultimately was what I signed up for.  I am passionate about this program because I know the confidence I gained was something that would only be gained from having someone push me.  With bootcamp, you have a room full of people whose reasons for being there are different from yours but ultimate goal is the same, the end result is the same… success.

I came to BC 360 KC September 2010 with two goals: lose “the last 10 lbs” and get myself in shape to hike the Grand Canyon Rim to Rim in June 2011.

At the time I thought I was in decent shape as I’d been religiously going
to Group Fitness classes at my gym for two years, watching my diet (or so I
thought), and I couldn’t figure out why the scale was stuck.

Jamie sat down with me and gave me a nutrition plan to follow in addition to the Boot Camp workouts three times a week. The first week the nutrition took some getting used to because I felt like I was CONSTANTLY eating. Much to my surprise, the weight started falling off of me. The “last 10 lbs” have turned into 25 lbs. I’ve had a ton of fun, made great friends and I’ve never felt better. Jamie, Robin and Kathi are definitely on the short list of people that I can say have really changed my life, and I am forever grateful to them.

As someone who had been active my entire life, it was disheartening to not be able to get back on track with my workouts. After many failed attempts to find the right fitness partner, I finally found Jamie and his very professional, knowledgeable, and caring team. They have truly partnered with me in my quest to get back in excellent shape. I am very pleased with the results of attending boot camp three times per week, I am losing fat, building muscles, and regaining confidence. Jamie and his team lead by example, and have turned this skeptic into a true believer.

Thank you Boot Camp 360 KC!!
