Success Stories

	To whom it may concern,  I am a father of 3 and I enjoy going into the gym and working hard.  Trying to push myself everyday, every workout.  I also work just as hard in my profession.  So when my youngest son turned 14 he also wanted to start getting stronger and fit.  The problem was I was not available at the same time as my son Corey.  So, I approached Scott Andrews with my dilemma. Scott has always impressed me with his knowledge, willingness and friendly attitude.  Not only was Scott willing to help out he was extremely excited.  It didn't take long before Corey started improving and reaching the goals Scott had laid out.  The goals helped Corey taste success, which helped fuel the fire.  But the fact is not only was Scott such a tremendous asset in the gym, he is the type of person that I encourage my son to be around as a positive influence.  In today's society I see this as a priority and Scott was just the blessing we needed.  Corey and I will forever be in Scott's debt for his role in the start of Corey's life long marathon of staying physically fit.  I can only hope that one day I can do for him what he has done for us.                              Sincerely,                                Kirk Stulz

	Scott, I thought you should know, on Saturday, the family was going bowling.  We were getting ready when, Ariel came running into my room with the biggest smile on her face! She said mom look! I couldn't put these pants on two months ago and now I can wear them again.  She was sooo happy! At that moment I thought of you. Thanks Scott for helping us Andree'

	Scott, I'm a very active person, but for many years in teaching dance classes my body wasn't loosing the weight and staying as in shape as I wanted it to. It was so used to the same continuous thing it was not responding as well as it used to.  Of course some could just be with age things start to change. From many people I had heard Scott Andrews would be the one to see to get me into a body exercise  program. Even my doctor said you need to do something else to have your body change.  I  didn't know if I really could handle fitting time into my busy week, but I'm so glad I gave it a try. Scott worked me up a program when I told him what I  felt I wanted to change. He was so patient in teaching me what each machine would do. He stayed with me showing me how to use them the correct way and how many times as a beginner to the gym I needed.  He was strict about I had to do it correct so it would work and I didn't hurt myself . It's not always easy to get there three times a week, but I try to get there two and at least once. Even when I only make it once a week I'm now feeling the importance of what he has taught me I should do. There's time I will be so busy I will have to miss, but I know for a fact with the program Scott took time to work up for me I will continue until he thanks I can move on to more and harder. Scott has shown me what it will do and I will make it part of my life as often as I can. The first week I went I was a little nervous and when a few day's later I was so sore in the legs and joints I new it was working parts of my body that had not been worked for a long time. Thanks Scott for being patient with me and being the reason I will continue. I'm so glad I came to you to get started with the right program. You know your stuff. Fran Johns

	Scott is a wonderful trainer.  I gave him what I felt was an impossible goal, and he helped me to achieve it in less time than I expected.  His routines are dynamic and fun.  Scott also keeps you very motivated and makes you want to achieve more.   Kelley Cutillo Exit Extreme Realty (813) 679-0997
	I would like to take a moment and express my gratitude and my appreciation for all you helped me accomplish.  Six months ago I hit my heaviest weight ever.  To look at yourself and know that you have let your bad habits take control of your life was absolutely miserable.  I was challenged by a friend to do a triathlon which was 8 weeks away.  At 230 pounds, super setting McDonalds and all you can eat Chinese buffets, I felt that there was no way I could be a part of it.  After meeting with you and talking it out, your encouragement and your drive for me to succeed, was all I needed to push me to an unbelievable new point.  You have encouraged me and many of my peers to look at their lives.  Everyone has begun to make changes!  I am now signed up for my 2nd triathlon and have made a commitment to my wife and my kids that I would never allow myself to go back to that point.  I know that ultimately you can’t make anyone do anything, but Scott please hear me when I say you truly do have a heart for people and everyone appreciates it.  Your boot camps were so challenging, but yet done in a way that made it so fun!  I would encourage anyone to try one out!  Thanks again for all you helped me accomplish!!   Kurt Schaer
	Why does this fitness program work for me? Why do I like it so much? What drives me to continue to work hard and succeed to achieve my fitness goals?  These are questions asked to me by only a few people and the one main person who has asked is my boot camp instructor Scott Andrews.  Scott is also the fitness director at my local recreation center and is a personal trainer as well. Like so many other people I go to the gym and have been for many years. Like so many people I have tried various “diets”, joined Weight Watchers and was successful, only to gain those pounds back.  When I heard back in January, 2009 that Scott would be starting boot camp sessions I was excited to finally see something different added to our community.  I’ve always wanted to try something like this but had that fear of the unknown. What if I can’t do it? What if I look silly? Those thoughts didn’t last long.  I’m 44 years old and at this point in my life, who cares?  I needed to lose a few pounds. I need to lose a few inches and I just wanted to be in better shape. As Scott has reminded me numerous times, women at my age…….and the list goes on.  So I did it. March 2009 boot camp sessions started. I couldn’t run a mile. I couldn’t do 3 push ups in a row. I struggled to keep up with the younger ones and some of the older ones too!    The group atmosphere is a major contributor to my success. These people are great. I couldn’t have met a better group of people anywhere else. I’ve made new friends. And these friends are all there for the same reason. And this makes me want to come back.   Every day the sessions are different. I have no idea what Scott has planned and this makes me not think about what’s coming up next. You don’t have time, you just do it. Getting sweaty and dirty and lifting tires in the rain is for me.  Climbing walls, pushing trucks and then those fun but hard games he throws in there.  And when you’re done, you think YES! I completed another session. I did it.  I love the friendly competition amongst the group. This is what pushes me to work harder. It can be intense and yet fun at the same time.  I am definitely not a Shapes or Curves kind of girl.  Scott sends update emails to his group. These emails vary from being motivational, encouraging or informative health topics. These are nice reminders to have.  What he tells us is basically what we all already know but need a little reminder and a jolt every now and then. It’s just back to the basics. Watch what’s on your plate and exercise.   With all these contributors in this fitness program, I have lost 8 pounds, many, many inches and a little over 5% body fat. I’ve gone from a size 8 to a size 6. I can now run 3 miles without stopping. I can do over 60 timed push ups and sit ups and keep up with those younger ones and those older ones!    I go to boot camp twice a week, ABS class twice a week and I hit the gym two to three times a week. If I don’t make it to the gym, I run outside. I now have the motivation and the stamina to do it. Am I done? No. I have new goals.  So try something new. I did and this works for me. I hope that everyone reading this will give it a try.  Success won’t happen overnight. Be patient and watch the wonderful results! October 3, 2009 Kris Bexley
	I am so very thankful for boot camp.  When I was in high school, fitness was a priority for me ... I ran track, played soccer, worked out in the gym religiously, ran for fun. And then, life got in the way.  I tried working out at home but it never lasted very long.  Boot camp is perfect for me.  My kids even love it and I am thankful that they have a place to go (and are old enough) to play while I get that much needed "me" time.  For me, it's much more than working out.  It's a stress reliever and a confidence booster.  Stacey makes fun of me for being so "obsessed" but I am proud of the strength I have obtained over such a short period of time.  So, thank you, thank you, thank you, Scott.  You HAVE made a difference in my life.  Jennifer
	Last March, I made the decision to attend Scott Andrew’s Boot Camp Work-Outs to see if it was something that I could do on a regular basis to improve my health. I felt that I was in good condition before I started, but quickly learned that an hour of his work-outs had me gasping for breath. (That’s a good thing!) This meant that I had work to do and was not as physically fit as I should be. After several months of attending Boot-Camp at least two times a week and many time three, I can honestly say that I have not been in this good of shape and condition in at least 15 years. I feeling like I have more energy and strength and have accomplished an important goal, and that is, at 58, to be healthy and stay physically active. The work-outs vary and Scott mixes it up so that what we do changes each session. We do things as simple as tug-of-war, which in it’s self is good for conditioning, to simple things such as push-ups , sit-ups and slow jogs. I simply feel stronger, have more energy and flexibility than I can remember. I feel like I’m cheating myself when I miss my regular work-out with Scott’s Boot Camp. . Dan Rosenthal
