Daily Dose: What’s Your Excuse?

A few months back a man came into the studio to talk to me about joining FitCamp.  

(To protect the inocent we’ll just call him “Cliff”).  

Cliff had heard about us from a friend and he wanted to stop in and see the studio and “find out what this FitCamp stuff is all about”. 

I gave Cliff a quick tour of the studio and told him about the kinds of workouts and programs we do in FitCamp. 

His response…

“Oh I’m too old for that kind of stuff.” 

Well Cliff, maybe the picture below will help change your mind. 

At 72 years young, Bill is an amazing example for us all to live by. Thank you for being part of the FitCamp community Bill!

Keep up the great work Deb!

"Today was the closest I have ever come to puking since I joined fitcamp 2 and a half years ago. Seriously every time a workout uses the rowing machine, I feel like I am going to upchuck prograde shake, water, and fish oil all over the studio"…great WOD and thanks for finding a great alternative! - Jason "The Metabolic Machine" Rakip
