Morning Crunch Boot Camp

I have to say my first impression of this class wasn’t very good, where I arrived to Los Feliz class ready to go and the instructor didn’t let me stay or participate due to me forgetting my signed form. Besides that he was very rude and basically told me to leave. Luckily I emailed Morning Crunch to see if they could add me into another location. They were very accommodating and switched me to Glendale where I met J.
For my very first class he was awesome! Great personality, played some music for us and wasn’t over bearing. It’s been a while since I’ve worked out and he helped modify to help me keep going and following the group. I would definitely recommend Glendale area for Morning Crunch. It’s a great sweat and great new people including J!

Just started my first session with J, Crawford’s group. Day two today but couldn’t make it because I twisted my ankle on first day during the run at the park. Fell in a small hole in the grass/​dirt. Just need a few days to rest it. J seems nice enough and gave a good class. However, I wish he would have moved around the class during floor exercises to correct movements/​positions. The Q&A section of the website said that his class size average was 8 – 12 bootcampers. There were 30 in the class. This is with one instructor. I understand that there will be some that will drop out soon enough but still a large class size for one instructor.

I can’t say enough kind words about Shon and his ability to train people from high school athletes, professional athletes, as well as those with special needs or injuries. He takes the necessary time to analyze his client and create a custom workout designed to bring him/​her to peak performance in time for a race or season, fix a muscle imbalance and help with injury recovery. In addition to his training acumen, one should note his comforting and motivational temperament. Shon truly cares about each and every one of his clients and understands when to push them, how much to push them and when to back off. I recently sent my 70 year-​old parents to Shon (two people who understood nothing about health and fitness) and they walked away knowing there were still exercises safe for them to perform and with a sense of confidence executing them.

I can’t agree more about what the other two reviews say about J. He is inspiring and tough but not too much to be overbearing. I started morning crunch after a living social coupon and have stayed on because of J. I didn’t need to lose weight but I did need to increase my fitness level. I can say that I hit my goal as my next step in fitness endurance is crossfit. Without J, I would not be able to endure my crossfit classes as they are extremely intense.
If you’re on the fence, I say invest in yourself and you won’t regret J as your trainer.

This review is based on the Tue/​Thur evening class in Sherman Oaks but i didn’t see a title for it plus the trainer there is J who is the Glendale morning boot camp class instructor so I’ll just write my rave here. I’m sure he’s just as amazing at 6am!
What a great class! J is great at really pushing you but always making sure you’re safe and happy at the same time. He is really nice and his personality is perfect for boot camp! The class is a great combination of cardio and strength training. And it goes so fast I can’t believe the hour’s over until the next morning and I’m super sore!
HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend.

OH J, J, J (that’s my Glendale Boot Camp trainer’s name) why do I love you but
hate you so much? Is it because you made me do 50 squats today or because you
made me do 50 squats the right way today? Seriously though, I never worked out
this well in my life. Before I started Boot Camp, apparently, I was squatting
wrong! All these years I thought I worked out well, then I started with
Morning Crunch Boot Camp in Glendale and J showed me what’s up! My buns hurt,
but they look great. It’s money worth spending (even though its really
reasonable).
