Backyard Bootcamp

I am currently in the last week of Backyard Bootcamp and have to say that it has been an awesome experience. Leslie is a phenomenal trainer and motivator. I’ve had over four personal trainers and can honestly say that I get just as good a workout in bootcamp as I do with a one-​on-​one trainer. Not to mention that bootcamp is a lot more fun! I would recommend her to anyone of any fitness level.

So I am not your typical bootcamp attendee, most likely. However, when I found myself out of work, bored, and «chubby», I decided to find something to get me off the couch. I actually discovered Leslie through a «six degrees of separation» like Facebook connection. And thank goodness I did!
Leslie is awesome. She will push you to, and past, your limits, but she has this gift for recognizing who and where each person is in terms of readiness. I was no doubt her least fit client, in a wonderful small class where we all felt like she was our own personal trainer. She never let me feel like I was less capable than anyone else.
I just can’t recommend her highly enough, for people at any fitness level really. She is able to be hardcore for those who need it, and for people like me, she is able to adjust that so we don’t get scared away.

Leslie Maltz, owner of Backyard Bootcamp, is the professional, engaging, warm and motivating owner/​operator of this full service gym and personal training business.
I have been a client since 2007, when I took several sessions of the Outdoor Bootcamp. It was the most fun I’d had in years, besides being a catalyst towards building my muscle strength and functional fitness.
I have taken several classes at her gym, including Zumba, which was a blast!
Recently, I have participated in her group hikes. They are fabulous, and a great time. If you ever get too sore from a workout or other activities, she’s an amazing, healing massage therapist too. I highly recommend Leslie!

I startted bootcamp at the beginning of the year and during the first ten minutes of the first session I wondered what the heck I’d gotten myself into. Even though I’ve done Pilates for years, I couldn’t even complete a mile run without walking.
Now I’m starting my third month and have knocked two minutes off my mile. The sessions are never boring, always challenging — more than you think you can do, until you realize you can do it!
Don’t be be afraid to start if you’re out of shape, because there are all sizes and shapes of people, men and women, young and old (er). Leslie and her team are very conscientious about your safety and well-​being. The group is fun and encouraging. You’ll meet new friends, and you will find that exercise is addictive.

No boring solo gym workout has ever panned out for me. I’ve spent years paying for a gym membership that I never used.
Now, I’m over 30 lbs lighter and in better shape than I was in high school! Backyard Bootcamp provides me a life-​changing food and exercise program that challenges me, keeps me motivated, and never gets boring. The instructors make it fun and push me past what I think I’m capable of. The camaraderie with the folks in the program makes it all the more fun! I don’t want to get too sappy :-)~ … but my self-​esteem and confidence have really turned around too. Thanks Leslie and team for really helping me become a healthier and happier person!

You ready to stop whining and get to work? Backyard Bootcamp is the place to be! It’s a fun, full-​body workout with an attitude of teamwork and only CAN DO. Can’t is a word that can get you and your team in big trouble, so don’t say it! If you’re serious about getting into shape, this is the place to be, no contesting it.

Out of shape? In shape and just looking to get your butt kicked? Look no further.
Leslie & her team doesn’t mess around when it comes to fitness. You’ll get a clear, sensible and very doable diet plan and three 75 minute outdoor training sessions a week for three weeks. You’ll run for miles and miles, do a million jumping jacks and even more pushups. You’ll scale steep hills and crawl through mud. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you won’t be able to sit on the toilet when you have to pee in the middle of the night.
Bootcampers range in ages, sizes and fitness levels, so Leslie makes sure to tailor the workout to each person needs. If you’re a little slower like me, you’ll get a boost from your more, um, agile comrades because no one ever gets left behind. And don’t forget to fill out your food journals, or you (and everyone else) are sure to suffer the consequences.
Now drop and give me twenty.
