Resurgence Health and Fitness Austin Boot Camp

Bootcamp…the one hour a day I am constantly looking forward to and LOVE to hate at the same time! There are moments when you can’t wait for that hour to be over, but when it is, it provides you with a feeling you can’t find anywhere else, leaving you wanting more. FINALLY, something that is addicting and good for your body!

I joined my first Bikini Bootcamp in Spring 2007. I was a senior at UT and while most people gained the freshmen 15, I added the freshmen 25. It wasn’t until my senior year I finally decided to do something about it.

A group of my sorority sisters and I decided to join and we were instantly hooked. By our Spring Formal, we were all amazed by the results! My arms never looked so good. I have been doing bootcamp ever since.

In Summer 2008, I took on another adventure. I auditioned for American Idol and continued on until Spring 09’. I made it onto the show as a semi-finalist in the top 36 of Season 8! When I made it past my audition, I turned to bootcamp. I knew I needed to look and feel my best for this journey. Bootcamp not only gave me the self confidence and stamina I needed to endure the show, but, my bootcamp family became my biggest supporters. They gave me support and words of encouragement that I held onto throughout the year and still carry with me today. They had so much belief in me, which gave me more belief in myself.

Bootcamp has added so many positives to my life. I feel and look better than I ever have. I have more energy and self confidence. But, one of the biggest things bootcamp has added to my life are the great friendships I have acquired.

When you join a bootcamp you are joining a new family. You see each other every day in your most vulnerable state. Though everyone is very different, we all have one thing in common, bettering ourselves for ourselves. When classes get hard, or the weather is bad, we have each other to lean on. We push each other because our main goal is the same. If I missed class in the morning, you better believe I will get a call from my fellow bootcampers wondering where I was.

This is a new year and if you are looking to take your fitness goals to a new level, this is the place you want to be! You will find the support and results absolutely amazing! Hope to see you at bootcamp!
