Welcome to Boot Camp!!!

Hello all NEW Boot Campers!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the Scenic City Adventure Boot Camp family! You have just joined an incredible group of women all over the globe who are taking control of their body, their life, and their health. We are very excited to have you as an exclusive member of the Scenic City Adventure Boot Camp family. It doesn’t matter what shape, size or condition you are currently in. What matters is your attitude and the effort you make daily to keep moving forward. You have an amazing opportunity to bond with other women from all walks of life and in the process, challenge yourself to grow and become better each and every day. We are 100% committed to your success. All we ask is for you to show up, commit, and follow through.

Our mission at Scenic City Adventure Boot Camp for Women is to create a fun, inspiring, and comfortable environment in which you can push yourself and make real and powerful changes in your health, body and life. Simple changes you make during this time can significantly change the quality of life for not only you, but also your family, friends and co-workers.

Please watch your e-mail for news, updates, and additional opportunities/events later today. We will soon be sending you a link so you can access our community yahoo group and some additional tools that will help you get the most out of your time in boot camp.

Due to Labor Day weekend, we will be holding nutritional seminars in the evening during the first week of boot camp. Stay tuned for information on when we will have the seminars.

We will be available to take fitness assessments after class next week. You will have the opportunity to have your weight, measurements and body fat taken if you would like. We highly suggest you take the opportunity to do it. If you can’t do it after class, we would be happy to schedule it for a better time.

To ensure that you are ready for your boot camp experience, please carefully read the following information so that you are ready to go on Day 1 of camp.

What to Expect: We strive to create a fun, non-intimidating, non-threatening environment in which you can challenge yourself, push yourself and grow. Boot Camp is not militaristic or competitive. Your biggest competitor is yourself. Each class lasts one hour and may include circuits, obstacle courses, strength training, cardio sessions, and team games/partner exercises. Classes are fun, creative and produce real results. We incorporate functional training, core training and accelerated fat burning techniques into our boot camp classes. No one will be left behind and no one will be asked to do more than they can handle. Everyone will be challenged at their level, whether they are a beginner or advanced.

What to Bring:
•a water bottle
•5- or 8-lb. dumbbells (5-lbs recommended for beginners)
•a towel
•an exercise mat (Preferably one that won’t get really slippery in the grass. You can also bring a beach towel to lay over it to avoid slipping.)

Because we are working out outdoors, please plan accordingly. It is preferable to come dressed in layers so that you can be comfortable throughout the workout session. However, most days, just a t-shirt or tank top should be fine.

What Not to Bring:
•Heavy Perfumes (Out of respect for those around you, we ask that you avoid wearing any perfumes to class. We prefer to breathe only fresh air when we are working out.;) )
•A Negative Attitude

In Case of Inclement Weather:
Working out with Mother Nature affords us all types of surprises. With weather permitting, we will work out at our usual places. However, in case of bad weather, please plan on moving to the following locations:
Dupont/Hixson: Indoor location at Live Active Personal Training Studio (from Dupont, head right towards Hixson Pike on Access Road, turn left onto Memphis Drive (just past Dupont Parkway overpass) and take an immediate left to enter strip mall parking lot. Live Active is next to SignARama.)
Vandergriff Park in Hixson: Outdoor covered pavilion in park
Collegedale/Ooltewah: Outdoor covered pavilion at Imagination Station
Red Bank: Indoor location: The Gallery
We will do our best to contact you via e-mail or phone if there are any additional concerns.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us any time.

Aluminum Pour at The Gallery






On Saturday, The Gallery in Red Bank hosted an aluminum pour. Kevin carved the Scenic City Boot Camp logo into a sand mold. The artists melt aluminum at very high temperatures and pour the aluminum into the mold. The sand mold is then broken and an aluminum plaque is produced.
