Hello! I am here to answer some commonly asked questions about Virtual Bootcamp, like “What the heck is it?” and “How does it work?”.

 

So let’s start off with the basics. Virtual Bootcamp is an exercise program offered to you virtually through Zoom. I have been teaching in-person Bootcamp/workout classes for the past 11 years, but had to pivot due to COVID. BOOM in enters, Virtual Bootcamp! It has been a blessing in disguise during these times as it has allowed me to connect with individuals outside of my usual range. Now that we are not limited by space or time, I have expanded from instructing in Portage only to multiple locations. I have campers who come from all over Manitoba (Portage, Brandon, Winnipeg, Dauphin, Thompson and Macgregor to name a few!), to Alberta, Ontario, BC, all the way down to Mississippi and Utah in the States, to across the world in NEPAL . It’s truly amazing! 

 

These workout classes can be done by tuning in LIVE every Monday, Wednesday and Friday OR you may choose the recordings. You can actually even choose a combination of the two if that works best for you. Options! Haha ☺️

 

WHAT DO THE WORKOUTS CONSIST OF?
I tend to lean towards instructing full-body workouts, but I also like to switch it up to keep you on your toes! So it isn’t uncommon to see different splits (upper body only, leg day or a cardio & abs class) throughout the 7-8 week sessions. I LOVE resistance/weight training, but I do mix in HIIT cardio, along with a proper warm-up at the beginning and a stretching cool down routine at the end of the workout.

 

I offer varying levels of exercises/options during each and every workout. This guarantees that there are always modifications for those just starting or for those with joint issues. On the opposite end there are advanced options for those wanting the extra challenge and feel ready for that next level, and of course there is even something in between! ☺️This allows you to always be in control and to form the workout to your unique fitness level and even your energy level for that day.

 

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO GET STARTED? 
You can have a great workout with just an exercise mat and a set of dumbbells, especially if you are just starting. However, if you want more variety and are looking for continual progression it is beneficial to invest in: a stability ball, multiple sets of weights, a fabric glute resistance band, and a step for step-ups among other exercises.

 

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIVE CLASSES OR RECORDED?
Live classes are a great option for those who are looking for accountability, a group atmosphere and a coach who will watch your form, give you pointers and cheer you on. Live classes allow me the ability to watch campers if they decide to turn their video on. I personally like this option the best as it allows me to connect with you, learn your body, and watch you progress. Not everyone is comfortable or wants their camera on, so you can also tune in LIVE with it switched off. I’ll still cheer for you! Haha.😃 I find LIVE also offers great accountability as I will be watching for you to sign-in and make sure you get your workout in.

NOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE RECORDINGS.
Recordings have been wonderful! They have allowed people with schedules that don’t align with the LIVE classes to get their workouts in at their own convenience. They’re also great for those that have life happen and they end up missing their scheduled live class. No problem! They just send me a quick message and I will send them the recording of that class so they’re able to stay in routine. Basically, the recorded option is perfect for people who have schedules that need FLEXIBILITY. In addition, I have found that some newcomers enjoy the recordings so that they can PAUSE or REWIND the workouts when first learning the movements. They are a great addition to virtual bootcamp and have helped to create enormous flexibility for me and those in camp.

 

HOW DO I OBTAIN ACCESS TO THE WORKOUTS?

If choosing the LIVE option, I will send you a link and password the day before each class. If you choose the recorded option, I will send you the recording every Monday, Wednesday or Friday. You will have 5 days to complete the recorded workout. All links (live and recorded) will be sent via email. It is truly easy peazy.😊

​

Virtual Bootcamp is not only a great way to get fit, become strong and stay safe during these unprecedented times, but it offers you an incredible support system. This support is gained through access to our private Facebook group, connecting you to the fellow campers who are doing the training alongside you and to a coach who cares. Within this group you can find us talking about our sweaty workouts together, discussing different health related topics, and sharing inspiration through personal success stories. It’s also the place where the campers come to beak me. Lol 🤣
