BootCamp has been a life changing experience for me in many ways. When I joined Chad’s group in
February 2005, I never expected that I would get so much out of the program. I started Bootcamp with
at least 10 extra pounds and many inches to work off. Thanks to two kids, a husband, and a full-time
job, I made little time to exercise, and as a result, I was in only fair cardiovascular shape. After the
initial 6 week Bootcamp, I was able to see serious results. At first, I lost weight and my clothes seemed
looser. Then I noticed that my body was becoming more toned. I also was able to run farther and
faster than before. My endurance was improving which made me want to push myself more. I think the
biggest change, which I hadn’t anticipated, was the effect that BootCamp had on my self-confidence. I
was inspired by big changes that I was seeing physically, mentally, and emotionally.
I have been doing Bootcamp for almost a year and a half and I have seen improvements after each
session. I have set physical goals for each session and with Chad’s help, I have achieved most of them.
He has been supportive throughout all of the sessions which has really helped. Don’t get me wrong,
there have been days that I haven’t felt like getting up to exercise at 5:00 in the morning. However,
the thought that my old body might return has kept me motivated to stick with the program.
BootCamp has been a social outlet as well as a fitness program for me. I have made new friends who
share the same enthusiasm for exercise. As a completive person, I have been challenged by the other
BootCampers. I have also seen the importance of teamwork since some of our drills are done in groups.
Chad’s style of training is incredibly motivational because of his positive style. He encourages
BootCampers to strive for the best and to push themselves. Just when BootCampers think their bodies
are unable to stand another set or another lap, Chad is able to encourage us to keep on going. Despite
the fact that BootCamp is patterned after military programs, Chad is not a stereotypical “drill
sergeant”. One of the things I most appreciate about Chad training techniques is that he does not use
derogatory comments as “motivation”.
I plan to continue BootCamp with Chad because I am so happy with what the program has done for me.
I have seen dramatic changes in my body due to hard work and Chad’s motivational style. I have more
self-confidence because I know I have achieved so much physically and emotionally. I love the
camaraderie of my fellow BootCampers and I am inspired by them each day. All of these reasons make it
easy for me to recommend Chad’s BootCamp Method Evolution to anyone who is dedicated to improving
their body and spirit.

The word Boot Camp is enough to scare some people. They hear the word and think
pain and abuse. Well, they don’t know the Method Evolution Boot Camp! When I
think of Boot Camp, I think of friends, camaraderie, challenges and SUCCESS! Sure,
there’s sweat and some pain, but you can look around and see that we are all
working to towards the same thing…our goals.
Everyone has a different reason for joining. My reason was that I had been running
and training for marathons for the past 4 years and really not getting anywhere.
What I mean by that is that I ran and ran and ran and could not beat a 5 hour 40
minute marathon time. It was pitiful. I thought I was getting better and stronger,
but really, I had reached my peak or so I thought
I decided that I needed to really kick it up a notch and add some core training to my
schedule, so I joined a gym and started going three times a week. I never felt like I
got a good workout. I’d be there for an hour or more and would end up spending
most of the time on the treadmill because I’d have to wait for the machines (and I
hate running on a treadmill!). By the time it was my turn, I had pretty much cooled
down.
I had done a Boot Camp session with Chad in the summer of ’04, so when I found out that Chad was doing
Boot Camp again; I knew this was exactly what I needed. It was outside, with a group of people, and
early in the morning. Anyway, let’s just say, I’m addicted to Boot Camp now. I haven’t missed a session
since. AND yes, I broke that 5 hour 40 minute barrier and beyond. I did the Texas Marathon Challenge
this year. Some of the times worth mentioning are: San Antonio Marathon in November in 4 hours 48
minutes. Dallas White Rock in December in 4 hours and 36 minutes. Austin Marathon in February in 4:
28!!! That’s more than an hour off my best time! I was hoping for a 5:30 or a 5:15, but a 4:28, not in my
wildest dreams!!
I could not have done it without Boot Camp and the support group I had in my fellow Boot Campers and
friends. Something about pushing yourself to your limits at 5:00 a.m. creates a great connection. We are
all lost when a Boot Camp session ends…wondering, waiting for the next round. Crazy challenges are
thrown at us and we all jump at the chance to do it.
Does the word Boot Camp scare me? NO, bring it on! If I can’t do it today, I know I WILL be able to do it
one day.
Thank you, Chad! Thank you, Boot Campers!

WORDS FROM YOUR NEIGHBORS

Boot Camp is the best workout decision I’ve ever made. I’ve never had faster fat-burning results with
anything I’ve ever done and I’ve been working out for 20 years. Great program!!
Joe Kennedy
I started Bootcamp 6 weeks post partum and within 4 months, I had lost all my baby weight and more.
I have tried a variety of workouts (cycling, weightlifting, aerobics classes) and nothing got me the
results like Bootcamp did. The workout was fun and motivating, rather than something I dreaded
doing. At one point, I lost so much weight and was so fit that I could no longer rely on the scale for
measuring results, but rather, had to move to body fat analyses as a motivator. I am pregnant again
and felt so fit and healthy entering this pregnancy. While I am anxious about all the weight that I'll
put on during the pregnancy, I am relieved to know that I have a program to turn to in order for me
to get back in the shape of my life.

I've always been a very active/athletic person, but after having my 2nd child, I didn't do much of
anything. I had that "need" to be physically active, but I couldn't find the time or energy to do it. I
started the boot camp class and I feel so much better about myself. Just after 2 weeks, I could
already feel a huge difference in my conditioning. I lost weight, but more importantly I'm in better
shape and have gained muscle mass. I would definately recommend Boot Camp to anyone who wants
to feel better about themselves and get their bodies in better physical condition!
Boot Camp is fun. JC gives you a variety of exercises, so it's not the same old boring thing every day
you work out. All the exercises, even though odd sometimes, really work out every part of your
body. This "different" type of workout makes it fun to get into shape and stay in shape!
Tania Monroy, owner of Dream Dinners in Pearland

When I started BootCamp my goal was
to shed off those extra pounds I was
having a hard time getting rid of after
the birth of my second child. What I
achieved was much more… I lost those
pounds and then some, not to mention
the speed and strength I gained! In a
sentence, through the combination of
JC’s programs, I was able to get in the
best shape of my life! I feel so
empowered by the knowledge I have
gained about nutrition and fitness. This
is something that will stay with me
forever. His program is unique and is
unmatched by any gym/health club I
have ever been a part of. Thanks, JC!

I started going to bootcamp last
summer, and I am so happy with the
results. After the first session, I knew
there was no way I would ever be able
to do a workout like that on my own.
JC also provides off-day workouts and
nutritional help. By combining
bootcamp with healthy eating, my
results have been outstanding! I get
compliments all the time and I can go
shopping without trying to finds
clothes to fit in the right places (and
they are 5 sizes smaller). I didn’t just
lose weight, I changed my body. I know
I would not have been able to do that
on my own.

From preparing for a strapless wedding
dress to preparing for the birth of my
first child, Chad's programs have
consistently and uniquely suited my
fitness needs. I have been a regular
participant in his boot camps and
additionally have benefitted from
personal training. Chad's knowledge,
support, and guidance have consistently
allowed me to meet (and often exceed)
my fitness goals. I will undoubtedbly
continue to work with him in the
future, particulary when it is time to
return to the bikini after baby is born!!!
Tracy V.G.
I have been a participant in boot camp
and personal training since June of
2005. There are two great things about
working with Chad. The quality of
workout and that he genuinely cares
about each persons goals and
well-being.
As for quality of workout he uses his
expertise to tailor workouts to your
needs. I found this out first hand when
I became pregnant and he was able to
change from high impact / high intensity
workout to a more moderate workout
to help both me and my baby. I really
believe his workouts I did pre-pregnancy
helped me during the pregnancy with
everything from morning sickness to
weight gain. Especially the recovery
after my c-section. I was able to be up
and moving around almost immediately
and have had no complications or
issues sine I came home.
His commitment to me as a client has
been exceptional.
