I had forgotten how important fitness, training and encouragement are to feeling great, fit and healthy. I was never someone who thought ""mornings"" and ""bootcamp"" would ever enter my mind for exercise, but my husband loved it and thought it might be a turning point for my chronic pain issues. He was right! Emily is amazing, and she understands how moving and changing up the exercises, yoga moves and stretching are vital to keep her class motivated, interested and revitalized after every class. I've never felt pressured to push too hard, although I really want to and I'm working up to it with constant encouragement from everyone in the class. Gyms are a little much, and finding the time at night has just been too exhausting, but a morning boot camp with nice folks and the incredibly professional AND kind Emily are an amazing way to jump start mind and body for a good day. I have some muscle memory from past training and I am AMAZED at how I notice a difference in muscle tone after even one work-out. Crazy, but true. I feel great, can't wait to start really getting strong, and I'm fitting into my ""skinnier"" jeans! This has been life-changing for my attitude and my health...and it keeps getting better. There is no better way to beat the winter blues in Portland!
