Want to find a bootcamp of your own?


As many of you know – I credit a lot of my transformation to my bootcamp and my trainer,  Michael Thrash.  He owns plumblinetraining.com so he would most definitely be my recommendation in helping you acheive your fitness goals.   If by chance you don’t live near his facility but want to find a bootcamp for you, here is a list of boot-camps taken from a washingtonpost.com February 16, 2007 article. If you have any experience with any of these, I invite you to leave comments so we can keep an up to date, reliable list of programs. Also, if any that you know of are missing, add a comment and we can add them to our list!

  3. Hi Lita! It depends on the package you get. You can always try a class for free to see if you like it. I pay about 190 a month for 3 bootcamps weekly and one group session – so 4x a week training. The group session is alot more like 1:1 training weekly because there are only 6 people in the class. Many weeks its less than that. I also signed up for a 6th month contract so that affects my overall price.

    He does run specials too and offers discounts to teachers, military and public safety workers. I will upload his brochure which I believe has pricing. Stay tuned!

  4. Lita – this is the info from his last camp he sent out. He does have an early morning class (545a) that gets filled up very fast!
