Adventure Boot Camp

I participated in 2 rounds of camp with Suzanne. She’s AMAZING. The workouts are always challenging, fun and different.
In my time with her I saw MAJOR improvement with my strength and stamina. I shaved over 3 minutes off of my mile in the first round of camp and built major muscle.
She is knowledgeable and I LOVE that she did the workouts in camp versus standing around chatting with people. She took it seriously and asked that others do the same (don’t stand around and talk, it’s annoying and rude).
She did «themed» workouts which was always fun and I always felt like, by the end of the week, my whole body had been worked out.
She’s a great motivator and I wish she moved to my state to dominate the bootcamp industry here :-D
I’ve since left the state and have tried another Adventure Bootcamp with serious disappointment. It was not challenging at all, I hardly saw any results etc etc. basically it was the exact opposite of what I loved about Suzanne.

I’m giving a rating of two stars because the workouts are great! However, the workouts are always outdoors, even in the rain and cold. For the price you pay you’d think you have an indoor facility but you don’t. All classes are held at public schools or parks.
Most importantly Suzanne’s (owner) contract does NOT comply with the law!
If you become injured and your injury precludes you from continuing with Bootcamp (or the «contract») according to the law and under Civil Code Section 1812.89(2) it clearly states the party agreeing to furnish services (in this case, Suzanne) shall upon request, immediately refund such amount proportionate to the amount of services not received.
Also, Civil Code 1812.91 clearly states that any contract which does not comply with the applicable provisions (meaning language providing refund in the event of disability or death) shall be void and unenforceable as contrary to public policy.
I had a doctors note. I had prepaid the entire year (platinum package) and had 5 sessions I was unable to complete. Suzanne refused to refund me. I asked multiple times and tried to reason with her. I did not want to ruin a fun friendship and the last thing I wanted was to sue her but she did not even attempt to even offer a portion of what was due to me. I was very disappointed in the way she handled it. I had to take her to court and she couldn’t even be bothered to show up at the court hearing. She sent her very nice husband in her place. The judge told her husband that you cannot have a «no refund» policy as it’s contrary to public policy.
The court ruled in my favor and not only did Suzanne have to refund me but she had to pay court fees too. I hope this has been a lesson learned for her and she revises her contract to comply with the law. It is a shame when people are taken advantage of simply because they are not aware of their rights or are too timid to challenge someone’s policy.
I know of others who sustained injuries and I wonder if they received refunds.
