Teva Corporate Bootcamp

"Bootcamp workouts push me harder than I would push myself going to the gym. I'm certainly stronger now from Carrying all those tires!"

- Katy M., Teva

"Bootcamp has actually played a very important role for me. I started Bootcamp in June. The first day was insane. Coming into the program with not a lick of exercise experience my body had no idea what it was in for. I stopped 2/3 of the way through the session and said hello to my lunch in the bathroom while everyone else finished up. The second session I still had to take breaks but I finished the session and didn't see my lunch a second time. Since then I have seen and improvement in endurance, strength, balance, physicality, and speed. In the three months that I've been participating, I've lost 20 pounds. I feel lighter and far more energetic.

What I didn't expect to get out of Bootcamp was its effect on my mental health. In a general sense it has given me confidence, drive, and a sense of self-worth. And not just from the physique that I've attained from the exercise. I feel that it comes from having this challenge to push myself, meeting it every week and coming out the other side feeling like I'm doing right by myself. This summer has been a tough one and, along with family and friends, Bootcamp has been an essential pillar in helping me come out of this a stronger person. My head and heart are the clearest after Bootcamp sessions."

"Before Wendy's Bootcamp I was running and biking but neglected some of my core muscles and now with Bootcamp I am working those muscles and feel stronger. Also she does different things which make it interesting and she lets you push yourself. She's great!"

"Even though I just started back again after a long time away, I feel tremendously better after just a few weeks. With a job that requires sitting much of the day, I really look forward to getting to Bootcamp to see that Wendy has in store for us each night. She keeps it fresh... and it seems she always has something new up her sleeve. The workouts are challenging, and they find muscles I didn't know existed. But it's a ton of fun and I feel it working!"

- Jill P., Teva

"I really like the fact that Wendy pushes us and always seems to have a different exercise for us to try. It keeps everything going and before you know it, the hour is up. I have felt exhausted at the end of each session, but it's a great feeling because I know I've gotten a good workout. It's a nice change from my own workouts that I do at the gym."

- Chris O., Teva

"Bootcamp helped me get back on track with my workouts. This class has challenged me to levels I did not know I could do and I have succeeded. It has become more than a workout class, it has become something I look forward to goign to each week. Our group has become more like a family and support system to each other. It is amazing how this class brought employees together that never knew each other before.

Wendy, herself is inspiring to push us to be better and support and inspire healthy eating habits. She is more than a trainer; she gives us emotional support and goes out of her way to create individual workouts and diets to help us reach our goals."

"I am a retired women's rugby player, and I was looking for something fun and interesting to help me keep in shape after I retired from playing rugby. When I first joined Adventure Bootcamp in Feb 210, I was also preparing for my wedding at the end of April. Rugby uses your body in all sorts of ways, and I was looking for something fun and interesting to help keep me in shape, something outside of the gym, different from running on a treadmill, and that would maintain the overall use of my muscle groups. Wendy's first class had me hooked with the kettlebell exercises and negative pushups, as well as the positive reinforcement she gives.

Bootcamp has not been, for me, about losing weight, but more about maintaining a healthy lifestyle, keeping fit, and maintaining my strength. Bootcamp has also been a great stress-reliever (especially with wedding planning!) for me. Wendy is motivational and great spirited, and I'm not sure I would work myself as hard at the gym if I tried to do this all on my own. It sometimes sucks while we're doing it, but it's all worth it!"

"I started Bootcamp in March of 2011 just after Hatfield Athletic Club closed. I had already lost 70 lbs from the start of my healthy lifestyle journey about a year prior to joining Bootcamp. I didn't really know what to expect, I just knew I needed to do something so I could continue exercising and also avoid gaining all the weight back. Wendy is such and incredible inspiration. She quickly earned my trust and I gained strength I didn't even know I had. I started out barely squeaking out one push up, jogging 1/2 lap and using a 10 lb kettlebell. Hour by hour, day by day, week by week I could feel myself becoming stronger and healthier. Now I am doing reps of push ups, jogging 6 miles and using a 20 lb kettlebell (maybe pushing it to 25 lbs soon). It's not the push ups, jogging, or kettlebells that keep me coming back for more. What really keeps me coming back are a few things...

~it's been the best outlet for me to relieve my stresses. For me, stressed out days = better workouts!

~It's the feeling of accomplishment and empowerment I get ever time I reach personal milestones.

~It's a feeling of vitality (the best reason of all).

I am in control of how I treat my mine and my body and I have learned that from Bootcamp, Thanks Wendy!"
