Wow, that had to be the weirdest weather that I’ve had for a boot camp yet- we started out the week with a high of 113, then the temps dropped almost 40 degrees!!! And it rained. In Vegas. That NEVER happens! Anyway, despite the crazy weather, we had a great boot camp. Tommy’s Monday workout stressed technique, coaching, and the importance of monitoring clients during the exercise session. Tuesday’s deep water pool workout showed us that water is not for wimps- you gotta be tough to hang in the deep water for an hour! For me, the highlight of the week was the high ropes course at Camp Lee- to see Yamille, Amber, Stephen, and Angie conquer their fear of heights was incredible. Everyone was so supportive, motivating, and geared up that I think all of the students were able to challenge themselves to do something that they never thought they would do. Pictures from Sunday’s lifting session with Tommy and the Las Vegas Sign are here, I’m waiting for everyone else to send me theirs!

I’d also like to take a second to congratulate our Boot Camp King and Queen, Ernest “Will” Williams and Francine Winkler. I think we all could have guessed that Will was going to win, but Francine was definitely the “sleeper” contender for the Queen title! As always, it was so tough to decide who will win the “Most Motivated” award, we had so many great people here this week! Sara came really close with all of the help and motivation that she gave everyone in the pool, but in the end, we had to give it to Eric Mosqueda for all of the great questions, answers, and motivation that he gave during the week! The “Boot Camper of the Week” award goes to the student that embodies the boot camp experience, and this time we had no trouble deciding that the award should go to Austin Smith.

On a personal note, I would like to thank all of the students from the May boot camp. You guys all have such great personalities, and that made it so much easier to remember all of your names for the week! This is the first large boot camp that I actually was able to remember everyone’s name and something about each of you. So thank you for being distinguishable, I know that you will take those personalities and have incredible careers.

As always, if you need anything, just let me know!

Kristina- actually, now it’s just Tina so that Chris and I don’t confuse you guys!
