Brooklyn Bridge Boot Camp is a unique and superb exercise program. Run by Ariane Hundt, a vivacious, inspiring, 30-something fitness buff, she leads by example. The hour-long workout on the Bridge is a rigorous combination of aerobic and resistance work that is impossibly difficult at first but with regular attendance, magically becomes easier and eventually is actually doable.
Her indoor Slim & Strong classes are similarly incredible fun and very intense (she advises bringing a towel to class - for that puddle that inevitably forms during the workout!). Additionally, there are added features - before and after photos, regular measurement of weight, body fat and waist, hip, thigh, etc. circumferences and Nutrition classes. She really gets to know her clients and their issues and in a lighthearted, fun way, she commands adherence and GETS RESULTS. And, so uncommon in the fitness world, she REALLY cares about her clients and their progress.
While her focus is on nutrition and resistance/aerobic exercise, she deeply understands the mind-body connection and how we stress-crazed New Yorkers sabotage our health with sedentary lifestyles and mindless eating.
Her classes motivate change and reinforce positive health, nutrition and fitness behavior until these changes become habitual. I can't recommend her highly enough!
