Hey Wasiah,
It's really a marketing issue. I've heard of a number of "boot camp" work outs that were mostly running. When ever I workout with a private client on a track (my favorite place) I try to do a full body workout. Sometimes I concentrate a bit on one body part or movement and sometimes another. Being able to ply your trade outdoors is great!
BTW I went to Army Basic in Georgia ( Boot Camp is a Marine term).
C!
What we think, we become.

Subject: [Certified_Personal_Trainers_Club] Running a boot camp v/s a strength class
Hi everyone,I am newly trained & new to the business. I reside 20-30 minutes from downtown Atlanta in a small yet growing community of professionals and it just so happens that in my area there are no "advertised" boot camps being held. I spoke with the coordinator of the parks & recs in my county and she is very excited about me possibly starting a camp. It is 80/20 which I love and I have numerous parks to choose from, what I love about the county is that they do not allow two people to offer the same thing.My question(s) is/are what is the difference between a regular strength class & a boot camp. I know boot camp are expected to be more challenging and exciting changing up daily but what else is different?? Is it a "if you can teach a class you can run a camp" theory?? Also what are the best ways to advertise a camp aside from the rec center website/flyers?? Is "fitness" camp a better title or are clients drawn to the idea of "boot camp"? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Wasiah
