"I am so proud of my wife Barb and all that she has accomplished while working with you! She is SO motivated and driven. This past weekend she was actually encouraging me to work out when I felt tired. That was definitely something that would NOT have occurred even a year ago. She has even talked more about becoming a trainer and I think she would be great at it. I just wanted to take a moment to say thanks for helping my wife to lose weight and also give her a positive outlook."
- Neil (Husband of Boot Camp Client)
I will say that I know that my body and mind is changing in a positive way because of boot camp. You are right, little by little I don't want those unhealthy choices and when I have a taste of them, they are less and less appealing. THANK YOU for the awareness and the motivation to keep working toward good food choices.

This has been a great experience – and has definitely impacted my lifestyle – I feel so much better (overall) and my main goal is to be able to run and not be so out of breath. Thanks for your inspiration – you are a great leader! I’ve watched my Mom as a diabetic go down hill (lost a leg, sight in one eye, numerous heart attacks and strokes) – I do not want to go there.

Hi Kelli, thank you for your information and training over the last month. It has been effective and helped me meet my goals of kick starting my workouts again and increasing my endurance.

You don’t know how much I appreciate the time you take to keep us informed on all the nutrition/health related topics. I’ve worked with personal trainers before and none have taken the time and care that you do. Thanks so Much. You make BootCamp complete for me. You are such a wealth of knowledge! I really thought I was making right choices, boy was I wrong.

I’ve never enjoyed working out, but somehow, you have presented it in such a way that I love it. I never thought I could say that about exercise… but I do. I enjoy coming to camp so much. Thank you.

Before boot camp I couldn't keep up with anyone even at a walking pace, I had no strength, I was in terrible shape and I just felt it slipping further and further out of control. I was a size 24 at the age of 49, with three school age children. I had tried all the diet programs and found I was successful at them for a short time but nothing long term. Since I called Kelli in March for information about Argyle Adventure Boot Camp, it has changed my life. I have dropped over 50 pounds (on my way to a total loss of 125 pounds), I have lost over 27 inches (6 inches from my waistline alone) and my strength and endurance has improved incredibly.
I came to camp not knowing what to expect and worried that I would be the oldest, fattest and slowest of the bunch. Instead I found many in the group were either my size, my age, my physical condition or some/all of the above. Not only that but the environment is one of total support among all campers. We all have strengths and we all have weaknesses. I never feel inferior when someone runs faster than me (and that happens a lot!) or by what my physical limitations are. I have never heard anything but encouragement among campers and it is an awesome experience.
Some campers have bad knees or backs or feet and they will never run, some campers are training for marathons. Some are older, some are very young, some are professionals, some are stay at home moms. Whoever you are you will fit into our group and ......... you need just what this group has to offer. The only advice I have is to do the program exactly as Kelli instructs. Don't just pay for the classes, show up. Don't just listen to the nutrition seminar, apply what you learn. Oh, and take the grocery tour - it is only a few dollars and well worth the money and time.
I hope you join us and that it changes your life as much as it has changed mine.

IThis was REALLY a great experience for me. I have never committed to an exercise regimen as I get lazy and always have excuses. It felt good to know my husband and kids were impressed that I stuck with it. I truly feel like I have begun to transform the way I want to. The exercising every day and the commitment to drinking water are 2 huge accomplishments for me. I feel better.
This week has done more for me than I could imagine. I am conscious of my food and water (2 hurdles I have never had enough will power to tackle). I think my husband is pleasantly surprised that I stuck with it and it has even gotten him motivated to jog most night this week.

I wanted to say thanks for helping me get a kick start back into a healthier life…. almost 3 years ago I left a very stressful job of 23 years and started a new job where I have almost eliminated stress from my life. However, during this healing time (last 3 years), I forgot about taking care of myself! I cut way back on exercising and pretty much ate whatever I wanted. Needless to say, I gained 15 pounds in a year, (+10 the previous year) my cholesterol became elevated and I just didn’t feel good. Excess weight and fatigue took over. And I turned 50! In April, my gynecologist told me he would have to put me on cholesterol medication and maybe blood pressure, if I didn’t loose some weight! I still wasn’t motivated to get moving until my sister in law emailed about your camp. My first thought was, are you kidding, get up at 4:50 am, and exercise! But from the 1st day, I’m glad I did this. Getting up each morning has been the easy part….your workouts have been challenging for my “out of shape body” but well worth the effort. I’m very happy with the results so far. I know I have to continue changing our eating habits to succeed. But I’m committed to do this; I have to for our health.
Thanks again Kelli….you are just what I needed to get me motivated and moving again. It was a great 4 weeks, and I am very happy with the results.

Thanks again, Kelli, for caring enough to follow-up with me. You're so kind. I really appreciate it. I enjoyed this group of campers. The positive impact you're having on women is amazing, and I know everyone feels more empowered in so many ways as a result of their 4 weeks with you and your expertise.
Take care,

I like your nutritional advice (tonight and in Feminine, Firm and Fit), because it is scientifically sound -and you present it in such a positive and realistic manner. You have a really great leadership style and way of relating to others.

I started camp simply wanting to look better in a swimsuit. But I left camp a much healthier person with a greater understanding of foods. I feel healthier, have a firmer stomach, better flexibility and increased speed in running. Thank you for all you have done for me!
This is so addictive. When I'm not there I feel like I'm missing a big party!!!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you. Your energy and enthusiasm helped me to push myself harder during boot camp. I wasn’t sure what to expect and was a little skeptical of seeing dramatic results. In the end, I am very excited about how things have changed!
Thanks!

Argyle Adventure Boot Camp really is life changing! I was captivated by Kelli's obvious sincerity on the recorded portion that I'd clicked on. I must admit that I expected to dread the workouts. I was giddy that I could complete the first one. I'm amazed that I look forward to the next.
I love the diversity of the workouts -- it's definitely not boring! After just 3 weeks of following Kelli's eating advice, I was completely off of caffeine, sugar, and processed carbohydrates. After 5 weeks, I feel so much healthier -- less bloated. I'm slowly adding more sleep to my nights. I just completed my 3rd camp with perfect attendance and I am down over 15 pounds.
It's been a blessing!"

My favorite part of boot camp was doing it with my mom because I like to spend time with my mom and it is fun. I have lost 10 pounds, become lighter, faster and it has helped me with my dancing and volleyball. Its also great to see how many people were bright eyed and bushy tailed at 5:30 am

The thing that I love best about boot camp is the fact that everyday is a new day. The very first day I attended boot camp I wasn’t sure about getting up at 4:40 in the morning but I got to bed early and had a lot of energy for camp. Waking up early is easy because everyone there motivates you and there is so much reinforcement from others and Kelli when we are trying to do something that is challenging. This is my first week at camp and already I have a better outlook in general. I love to go the camp and I look forward to it. It makes you feel better about your day and make smarter choices about what you eat.
I actually felt confident about going after the very first time. And that is saying a lot. It is easy to meet people and everyone is there for one reason to make a change. By following some simple guidelines it is easy to get on the right track. I am now more energetic just after a week. Boot camp is part of my routine and a positive one at that. I now have motivation to better my life. I have wanted so long to become more active in my life and meet new people and now I can do that by simply attending boot camp. Its so simple and I can see why so many people do it because its fun and it is hard work but the results will pay off in the end.
I really enjoyed the camp more then I ever thought I would. It’s only week 1 and I am already thinking about doing the next camp. It is hard work and I sweat a lot but it really makes me feel better about myself in the end. I like how each day is different. Honestly it is easier for me to go to camp then to the gym. Thanks so much for the great fun and hard work so far.
Thanks
Kellie
The best thing about boot camp is when it's 6:30 AM and we have just finished our cool down and everyone claps. Completing one hour of weights, cardio and stretching with approximately other women at 5:30 AM in the morning is a real challenge, but worth it. I love driving home with the windows down and having a feeling of accomplishment. Knowing I have just given myself the best gift I can receive all day. A good physical and mental workout. Attending my first boot camp was my gift to me for my 64th birthday. I have lost 12 pounds and signed up for my second four week camp. I am feeling more energetic and motivated to continuing good nutrition and exercise in order to live a fuller life. I can see that boot camps are going to be an important part of my life.
Kelli keeps boot camp interesting by changing the routine daily and working different muscle groups. Her camps provide modifications of each exercise to accommodate each campers level of fitness. You workout at your own pace while being challenged to do your very best. I find my competitive nature rising to the occasion when some of the thirty year old women past me in the running/jogging/walking exercise. I become especially motivated when Kelli is calling out our lap times and I know I have improved my speed over the prior camp.
Keeping a daily food log has given me the best result - weight loss. Eating healthier foods makes me feel better and now I can wear my skinny clothes.
Glenda Duke
The thing I like was most surprised about boot camp was how quickly I saw results!! Within a week I was feeling stronger and more confident.
I never thought my very first week of camp that I would be a "runner" and now I really enjoy it. I feel great!
I'm in my third session of boot camp and have lost over 12 pounds and 10% body fat and am now back into my favorite pair of jeans!! The best part is the energy it has given me... I am a happier, healthier person all around. Kelli's passion for wellness motivates me every day to keep going! I believe in the effectiveness of the program so much that I signed up for the Platinum Boot Camp program.
Thank you so much for helping me get back into my 'skinny' jeans again. I feel so fit and healthy now! I was shocked this morning when you did my measurements. Wow! The best part is that I feel like an athlete and I love that part of it.

My friends thought I was crazy for committing voluntarily to anything that requires me wake up at 4:50 in the morning. Actually I had my doubts, too! But it's been such a rewarding experience, both physically and mentally. Boot Camp is very demanding- but totally do-able and I was very happy to see how fast I felt a positive difference in myself.
Kelli motivates you to want to make yourself better and makes it possible for any fitness level- her guidance goes beyond exercise- but into nutrition, positive thinking and health awareness. The challenges of Camp change everyday, that keeps it very interesting and the bonus of being outdoors is awesome! (Have you ever seen an armadillo, the lunar eclipse or a shooting star in a gym?) Seeing the sun rise is very nice, especially because it means we just finished doing something that is making our lives better!
My Thanks to Kelli for making fitness an adventure.
Paula Harvey
Kelli’s program offers new routines and new challenges every day. Although you are in a group, Kelli makes each person feel as though she is personally training them, cognizant of their individual level while always encouraging them to push a little further. There is no time wasted. Kelli makes every minute count. In week 1 I noticed that I have more energy, definitely sleeping better and I feel good about doing something so important for myself. Like most, I have belonged to gyms but I was never happy with the environment. I have home equipment with the box full of tapes/CD’s/DVD’s but it is redundant and boring. Kelli’s boot camp is perfect for me. I am an early riser, I love the outdoors and have always wanted to find a program that I could really feel good about…and I finally did.
I love it all - the entire boot camp concept, women only, ever changing, challenges you to get out of your comfort zone, working with weights and more including the feel of having a personal trainer even though it is in a group environment. The emails to continue motivating you to return. The email tips and knowledge sharing, just everything!
I have wasted so much money in my life on gym dues and machines that have never kept my interest or desire. This is great. Although the program structure is great it is only one part of the success of the boot camp, the true success is in the coaching and mentorship style that you possess which makes people want to do better for themselves.
Judy Byers
Kelli, Your encouragement is wonderful. I think most folks are their own worst critic, but it's really nice to have a "coach" again. I work harder when I'm with other people and I know someone may be watching. I LOVE THIS!!!!! I enjoy the variety of exercises you put us through. And I'm rediscovering muscles that I thought all the fibers had shrunk to nothing! The thing I love best about boot camp is knowing there are about 30 accountability partners and a coach to work out with. If you tell me to do an exercise, I will do it. If it's up to me to get out of bed in the morning and lace up my shoes, it's so easy just to push snooze and roll over. So far I've only done one week (3 classes) and I'm already noticing more definition in my legs. I actually look forward to getting out of bed at 4:30am because I know how great I am going to feel by 6:30am!

I am so excited at the difference in my body. When I first started doing this, I did it to look better. However, what I am most excited about is how much stronger I am. I no longer have “Olive Oil” arms and can actually hang in there with the ab work (which I think has made the biggest difference in my horse back riding). You are a miracle worker…

I am loving every single second of boot camp! I use to play competitive tennis throughout high school so once I graduated, I was lost with what to do with myself and my workout routine went out the door. I've tried yoga, personal training and trying to keep a gym membership but nothing has gotten me this excited about working out! I'm starting to love waking up this early and doing something for myself, and this is only my 2nd day! My friend Suzanne literally put the pen in my hand to sign the check. I'm a student on a tight budget so I was very hesitant, but now I have no regrets! Thank you soooo much for making this SO worth my time and enjoyable!
Mandie Owens
I just wanted you to know how much I have enjoyed your boot camp. NEVER,
have I ever enjoyed exercising! I absolutely look forward to coming in the
mornings, even getting up at 4:45. I feel so good, and much firmer. You
have such a talent and I'm glad you are sharing it with us. Not just in the
exercising, but in the
love of exercising. I can't even imagine not going. You make it fun!! Not
everyone can say that!
Tina Chisholm
Boot camp completely removes the guilt from my life about whether I'm in shape. When I police my own work outs, I'm constantly worrying, wondering, arguing with myself and obsessing over when/how much/what kind of exercise I've done and what I've eaten. With boot camp, all I have to do is get my body out of bed in the morning and the rest is easy (in relative terms...the workouts themselves are not easy!). By 6:30 life is good and I feel great!
Thanks so much for this program!
