I've been heavy most of my life, starting and stopping health regimens for various reasons. I've used many excuses to stop. (Pregnancy, nursing, postpartum recovery, job changes, in a rut). Started Austin Adventure Boot Camp at the end of March because a fellow mom simply asked if anyone wanted to accompany her. Figured I could do anything for 4 weeks. Those four weeks changed my life, and a lot of it is attributable to my coach and trainer, Paige Balius. Paige is the perfect balance of encouraging, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and honest. She offers us an intense, well-rounded, yet fun workout each morning that makes me feel great afterwards. She is very supportive and does not judge when I send her a food log that's too honest. The class is comprised of women at different fitness levels, and Paige makes sure no one is left behind, while simultaneously pushing each of us to do what we're capable of and more. With her encouragement and guidance, I'm in my fourth round of boot camp and have lost 15 pounds, 16.5 inches, and knocked three minutes off my mile. She not only provides us with the tools for a more healthful lifestyle, she accompanies us on the journey. Yes, I put in the work, but she's there every step of the way, cheering me on. I just can't say enough about Paige.
Pros: Great workouts, convenient location, awesome coach - Paige
