Fit Code Bootcamps

I am a newbie to fit code and loving it. Presently I'm on a journey of working out 3 days a week to tone, build strength and achieve overall great health. Fit code provides a great environment for me to work out at a pace and level I can build upon each time I attend my scheduled\r sessions.\r \r My journey also includes my participation in the skinny jeans contest (""No Excuses"" team) where I am focused on the challenge of reaching my Ideal skinny jean size. Since being a participant in the contest I have learned lots of nutritional information and great tips for weight management.\r \r Although I come from a large (number of people not size --- LOL) family, I feel like the Fit code campers that I've worked out with and staffs member are a part of my loving family also. Everyone from the administrative person (Maria) coaches (Toni, Maria & Shelton) ,dietitian (Erin) to all of the campers have been great to work / workout with.\r \r Maria L.

Although I knew I needed to make some personal changes to become fit, I was reluctant to join Fit Code thinking it was the same as all of the other fitness organizations. I really only joined because the Skinny Jeans Boot Camp contest appealed to my competitive nature. What a win-win for me! The chance to win a trip to Las Vegas, and get fit too! But over the past six weeks I have been pleasantly surprised and have gained so much more. \r \r At Fit Code I found committed, knowledgeable and supportive trainers. The environment is warm and inviting at the two locations I frequent. Workouts don’t use intimidating machines or fancy equipment; rather they use equipment I can purchase so I can workout at home or when I’m traveling as I so often am. The workouts are always different and challenging – no boring routines here. And although this go-‘round I wasn’t able to participate in the bonus workouts, I think it’s a great idea to occasionally take the workout on the road to explore Chicago or give back by participating in fundraisers as workout events. \r \r But what really makes Fit Code stand out and work for me is the nutrition classes, grocery store tours, cooking classes, social network support, and the camaraderie formed with fellow Boot Campers that helped me make the mindset change and provided the tools I needed to ensure my sustained fitness success. \r \r For me Fit Code redefines the term “Fitness Club.” Traditional fitness clubs focus mainly on the body and helping people lose weight. But at Fit Code I truly felt like a member of a club where the emphasis was on my total wellbeing - mind, body, and soul. I have truly enjoyed my “Fit Code Experience!” \r more

I joined fit code to get fit but instead I made friends that turned into family!!!! I love my team, Skinny jeans is the bomb!!! A complete lifestyle change. Would recommend it to anyone who needs that extra boost to see and get results. Bring it!!!! Tracey, DE more

I joined Fit Code after a friend recommended it. She's a total groupon-er and had tried many boot camps in the past. This one was different she said. She raved about the trainers, the workouts, the campers, the owner, everything! She loved it...so I decided to try it out at the time they were kicking off their SKJ challenge (skinny jean competition). After only a couple of weeks, I could see what all the rave was about! The trainers are great, there's always a class for you to attend, mornings, evenings, weekends, the classes are fun and go by so quickly you don't realize the 45 min are almost up! And the best part, the RESULTS! Within 3 weeks, I could fit into my jeans that I hadn't worn in over a year! By the sixth (and final) week of the challenge, I was shopping in my own closet, wearing things that I hadn't worn in many years! It's an awesome feeling that everyone should experience!! more

I started fitcode bootcamp on a groupon and just couldn't stay away. Not only is it an amazing workout but it is nothing like I have ever done before. I always felt I was pushed to the point I would never go if I was doing it on my own at a gym. I would have quit or taken a break. The workouts are very well planned and the trainers will never make you do anything they don't think you can do. There are levels of easy to hard to work with everyone's individual situation. The staff is very encouraging and not only is it just the workouts, they offer nutrition, cooking classes and grocery shopping tours. Fitcode has been an amazing experience to say the least. I am healthier and leaner and feel fantastic. I look forward to the next class every time I leave!\r more

I finally found a place on the Southside of Chicago that has it all- challenging and fun workouts, nutritional advice, and motivational support through its amazing trainers and fellow campers. If you want results that will last you a lifetime FitCode is the catalyst that will give you the tools to get you where you want to be. This is a real life, modified to what you can do program with real people who are all on different journeys—it’s an extraordinary community that I just can’t get enough of. more

My experience at Fit Code has been awesome! Within the first 6 weeks of doing bootcamp three times a week I could feel the difference in how my clothes fit. I love going to class and always come out of class feeling great. It is rewarding to leave having worked up a really good sweat and knowing you have done something good for yourself. This has been the perfect work-out program for me! more

I started going to FIt Code in August 2012, trying to find a fun and motivating way to work out. A friend from work raved about Fit Code, so I bought the groupon and decided to give it a go. At first, I was very intimidated because I am not exactly a workout expert, but the trainers and staff at Fit Code made it so easy. I joined the Skinny Jeans workout, that is a easy diet and fitness plan that you follow for 6 wks, and I love it. They educate you on correct nutrition and explain as well as demonstrate correct form and why you should incorporate weight training with cardio. It never feels like a workout and the time flies by! I will be at Fit Code for a very long time. more

I joined Fit Code Bootcamp towards the end of my health club membership. I wasn't seeing the results after taking various aerobic classes, spinning, and miles on the treadmill. The workout at Fit Code Bootcamp is very tough but effective. The contests they offer like Skinny Jeans Transformation contest keeps me focused on workouts, nutrition and mindset! Fit Code is the way to go for healthy lifestyle changes. more

I joined Fit Code 7 weeks ago and a week into the program I joined there SKJ contest. 7 weeks later and I feel great. Not only have I made new friends (& Family) but I have learned a better way of eating and working out. The coaches at Fit Code are truly unbelievable. I have never had such great one on one interaction with any other gym or weight loss program that I have belong to. You can send an email, text or even a face book message to any coach and you are sure to get a quick response back. I have ask for advice such as food choices ( I can send a text at a grocery store and ask about a certain yogurt or protein bar that I want to try) , or even what work out would best suit me and had a response instantly!! Fit Code has really helped me to change the way I feel and look and I truly appreciate everyone that has helped me on my journey. It was only 4 weeks into the contest and I was fitting into my jeans that were 2 sizes to small on me!!! Thanks Everyone. more

My Fit Code Experience\r \r Fit Code is not just a workout facility it is a health and wellness facility. I started on a living social deal with my daughter wanting to try a different kind of workout but found out it is so much more. With the help of FC and the skinny jeans contest I have learned how to workout to my full potential, eat extremely healthy, and feel good about every accomplishment. This program and the trainers are truly motivating every step of the way and this motivation is infectious. I did my first SJ contest in February on my own. This SJ contest my mom, my aunt, my cousin and my Husband are also involved which is so awesome. I love sharing what I have learned with my family, friends, and even co-workers who can be the SABOTAGERS. The ""SABOTAGERS"" are those that I seem to preach FC to the most. \r \r After approximately 11 months of being part of FC I feel stronger in all aspects of my life and for that I am truly grateful. Thank you to Shelton, my coach and teammates (Jamie and The Reducers), trainers, and the entire Fit Code family! more

I love the Skinny Jeans contest which is an amazing contest at Fit Code. So we exercise and then we follow a meal plan and then we get skinny. How easy is that! We have great trainers, and great participants and team mates, who become friends, and great support. What more could we ask for? The best part is I feel great! I have never eaten so healthy with just minimum effort in meal planning. FIT CODE IS THE BEST!! THANK YOU TO SHELTON AND ALL THE TRAINERS, ESPECIALLY JAMIE, WHO IS MY TRAINER. I am down a size, possibly more, in just 4 1/2 weeks. What will I be able to accomplish in the next 1 1/2 weeks? Watch out here I come, skinny world. :) more

\r I was just starting to think that this was the normal way of life. You get older (51 next month), you gain weight, you get a fake hip, you slow down and start feeling like crap! But my wife was coming home with all kinds of energy and looking fantastic may I say, all because of Fit Code. \r So I gave it a try and entered their Skinny Jeans Contest (because competition usually makes me try harder). \r \r Well I'm down over 20 lbs in only 5 weeks and I have not felt this good in years. The contest is almost over, but my new way of life has just started.\r I will be staying with Fit Code after the contest for many reasons. Energy, health, weight, I look better and I don't want to ever lose this sense of pride I am regaining.\r The trainers are amazing and are always willing to help you without making you look or feel like a fool.\r Thanks Fit Code!\r \r John Holt more

I never thought I could have a personal trainer and dietician but Fit Code made it possible. I have been struggling with my weight most of my life. I was looking for something different that would hold my interest. Fit Code does just that. Shelton and his staff are very motivational and informative. Every time I go we do something different. I wish I had found Fit Code years ago!! more

Being part of this program and team has provided me with the support, accountability, and motivation that I needed to make a difference in how I look and feel. Fit Code has so much to offer – great coaches, friendly campers, and fun experiences including fun runs, benefit workouts, and competitions like Skinny Jeans. Thank you to everyone at Fit Code- and thank you to Shelton for reminding me of the difference between “trying something” and “doing it” – BRING IT!!! more

After years of not working out or using workout videos and not getting the results I wanted, I was looking for something new. A Groupon became available for Fit Code boot camp in the neighborhood, so I decided to give it a try. I love the classes and the trainers are excellent – so welcoming and motivational! Every class is different and I look forward to going every time. I have since joined the membership and also attend the specialty classes, Cardio Core and, my favorite, Kickboxing. It has been 6 months since I started and I look and feel great. I haven’t felt this good in years and am motivated to stay this way! more

Hello future camper, if you have any special goal to reach or if you just simply want to look and feel your best while having fun doing it, Fit Code is the place for you. I knew I needed someone or something to help keep me accountable to achieve my goal. My main goal was to finally enjoy working out. What is happening has been an even greater surprise. Not only has Fit Code made my workouts fun, they have challenged me and supported me during my journey. I have formed many new friendships with other campers and I am very excited to see us all achieve our goals together. I am so glad I found my new extended family. I hope you give Fit Code a try, I would not want you to miss out.-Jamie Leonard more

Fitcode is a hidden gem in our neighborhood. I had been struggling for years, doing the gyms, videos at home, and was going no where. In frustration, I came upon Shelton's Groupon and decided to try it. After my first class in February 2012, I was hooked. I have been going 3 times a week since then. The trainers are so motivating, and the classes are always different. I have lost 3 pants sizes since starting this program. Fitcode is worth every penny!\r I have also participated in Shelton's skinny jeans program twice and can't say enough good things about the results that come with the hard work and nutrition education that you get. Try it out, and I promise you won't be disappointed! more

Goodbye gym membership, hello Fit Code! After getting no results with a regular gym membership, I decided to give Fit Code a try. After the first two weeks, I was sold! I love the morning workouts and cannot believe the results! Not only do I feel great, but my clothes are fitting much differently, in a very good way! When the Skinny Jeans Competition came around, I had to give it a go. It's amazing what you can achieve in 6 short weeks! I am down one whole size and realistically will make my ""down 2 sizes"" goal by the end of the competition. I have tried EVERYTHING, from Weight Watchers, to Jenny Craig, to even going to the extreme with the HCG diet, and nothing compares! The coaches are second to none, the program is totally realistic and the results are phenomenal! I am so loving my new way of life! Thanks Shelton! more

I originally tried Fit Code because of a Groupon, but once my sessions were up I kept going back. At one point in my life I belonged to three gyms, but never made it to any of them, in part because I have knee and ankle issues. I have consistently gone to Fit Code 3 times a week for the past several months where the workouts are modified for those of us with issues. Not only do I feel great, but my clothes fit better and I feel more confident. The trainers are highly motivational and very caring and thoughtful at the same time.\r \r I recommend Fit Code for both men and women of any age! more
