Wolf Fitness Systems Boot Camp
Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
Here are answers to the most frequently asked questions about Wolf Fitness Systems Boot Camp
What exactly is the Boot Camp?
Our boot bamp is a comprehensive fitness program held at Wolf Fitness Systems, an indoor training facility located at 14 John Street in Salinas. It is a program that provides instruction on fitness, nutrition and lifestyle change, with generous heapings of motivation and fun! Classes are led by a team of world-class fitness instructors. All are certified fitness professionals with years of experience helping Salinas residents. Boot Camp consists of weight training, bodyweight exercise, agility drills and more. The goal is to get you moving, elevate your heart rate and build lean muscle so your body burns twice as much fat.
We hold classes Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Each class will be one hour in length starting at 5:30am, 8:30am, 12noon, 4:45pm and 6:00pm.
What if I’m not in very good shape?
We use “progressive programming” in our classes. That means each person is assessed to determine their personal level of fitness. If you’re not in very good shape, we’ll start you slow (there will be others in the same boat, so you won’t be left behind), but work you up to speed more quickly than you can probably imagine right now. The amazing thing about the human body is how it adapts quickly to proper stimulus. We will SAFELY challenge you – never more so than you can handle. With years of experience working with men and women of all ages and fitness levels, we have this progressive programming down to a science.
Just know that you are welcome at our boot camp regardless of your level of fitness, and you will not feel out of place, even if you think of yourself now as being totally out of shape. You are not alone. Help is here, both from us (your instructors) and the friendly, caring support you will receive from the other campers. We work as a team, inspiring and being inspired, and everybody wins!
When does the next Boot Camp Start?
Our program is ongoing. Since there is no predetermined start or end dates we are ready whenever you are! Come in and try our program out this week on our dime so you can see for yourself what all the fuss is about. We are confident that after training with us for the first time you will be back ready for more.
What should I bring with me to class?
Besides comfortable clothes and a bottle of water, the most important thing for you to bring is a positive, can-do attitude and the willingness and desire to have fun with others just like you!
The social element of Boot Camp is a vital part of your success. The camaraderie and support is tremendous. Everyone works together as a team, inspiring and being inspired.
What sort of results can I expect to achieve with your program?
Besides the body transformation you’ll experience, the biggest achievement is the sense of satisfaction and accomplishment you get from taking care of your health. If you’ve never experienced it, you are in for a real treat, because nothing can make your life more full, rich, balanced and positive than exercise. If there is such a thing as a panacea, something that cures everything, it’s fitness.
The body transformation will be a wonderful achievement, and you can expect to see your body become toned, tighter and considerably more firm. Your energy levels will soar. Stress will be totally controlled, and in some cases, even disappear. Your stamina and strength will increase, your body fat decrease by as much as 3%, you can lose up to 15lbs, your thighs and butt will firm up, your tummy flatten. Inches will literally “melt” away as you add lean muscle and lose unwanted fat. Your skin will glow, your eyes clear, and you’ll sleep like a baby.
I know, I know, that sounds like “hype.” All I can say is this: once you experience it, you WILL believe it. And in addition to all that, you’ll meet great people, make some new friends and have a heckuva lot of fun!
Will the exercises I do at Boot Camp make me sore?
It’s completely normal to feel some soreness for the first weeks of any training program. You are moving and using muscles in ways you probably have not for some time, maybe ever. We make sure to warm you up properly, cool you down right, and stretch, stretch, stretch. And that alleviates much of the soreness, but still, some soreness is normal.
Who will get the most benefit from the Boot Camp program?
The people who get the best results are not categorized so much by body type, age, fitness level or demographics. They are categorized by attitude. If you come to camp ready, willing and able to take instruction, inspire and be inspired, push yourself a little beyond your normal “comfort zone” and have fun in a supportive environment designed to really bring out the best in you, then you can expect phenomenal results. Like everything in life, you get out of it what you put into it. But one of the great benefits of camp is that you are led by knowledgeable, expert fitness trainers who understand what you need and how to give it to you, how to motivate you and how to hold you accountable so that results come fast!
How quickly can I expect to see results in the mirror?
It took time for you to get where you are today, and so it’s only natural that it will take a little time to see dramatic changes. But you will most definitely experience performance, strength and conditioning improvement, sometimes in your first week.“See-it-in-the-mirror” results can take 14 days or more, depending on how much effort you put into it. Again, it’s all about attitude. If you show up ready to put in the effort while you’re at boot camp, and you follow our nutritional guidance (without traditional dieting – don’t worry about that nonsense, we don’t play those games) of eating smaller, more frequent meals and healthy snacks while you’re away from boot camp, you can expect to see real transformational results by the end of the six weeks. 1-2 pant size reduction, 3-8% body fat reduction and a minimum of 5-12 pounds of weight lost, is not uncommon and absolutely within your grasp. We’ll help you every step of the way, and motivate you to succeed!
