This is Bob (Fun Bobby since we're doing introductions here). Yesterday marked exactly six months since the day he had double bypass surgery. Not only is he back in the swing of things with us, but last night he hit a 20# PR (personal record) on his floor press. That means he just pressed 20 pounds MORE than he has EVER lifted before...and pressed that off his chest, at that. WAY TO GO BOBBY!

Sooooooo excited about the awesome group of people ready to kick-off of BOOTCAMP 615 TOMORROW! These people don't know each other very well yet, but they will soon come together as a team to achieve some really amazing things...and I just don't know of a better way to spend the day!

Over the next 6 weeks, we’re gonna:
- get really fit
- learn tons about nutrition do’s & dont’s
- conquer our mental obstacles
- and help each other live our best lives possible!

Now, this isn’t going to be easy...nothing worth it ever is. But we’re all committed to at least trying it out together during the kick-off event at 10:30am TOMORROW...which is the 1st step toward our BEST health & fitness in just 6 weeks.

We *could* add 2 more people to the mix. You can "try it before you buy it" for just $49 if you register NOW. I’d love to fill these last 2 spots with other ROCK STAR personalities who are ready to achieve great things. Call us ASAP at 615-496-4080.

P.S. You can also get on the waiting list for our camp that starts in April - let us know if that’s better for you.
