That was over a year ago and I'm still 20 lbs lighter than when I started - AND my last physical has me still in great health! Working with Grant was a life changing experience for me. His kind nature and genuine care for his clients is evident in how he advises and trains each individual. It wasn't just me! I've had a half dozen friends work with Grant after watching my transformation and the chain keeps growing - Love it :)

MyBootcamp is hands down one of the BEST workouts in the DC area. If you're looking to get harder,…read morebetter, faster, stronger in the most efficient and functional way possible - MyBootcamp is it. I first met Grant at his indoor cycling classes at Revolve, and his rides were and always are mentally and physically tough. I had started to build up my endurance and strength through cycling, but the thought of trying out MyBootcamp was still intimidating. I mean, c'mon - I saw pictures of MyBootcampers pulling tires, slamming firehoses, and tossing sandbags. I thought I wouldn't survive my first session last March, but afterward I actually felt like a complete badass. I whipped that firehose and learned how to properly do kettlebell swings, among other things. Plus I was the only girl there (thanks Matteo, Rob, and Neal for letting me kick your butts that day :). (Side note: most sessions are filled with fit, athletic and attractive ladies, so all the single men in DC should definitely sign up... just sayin' ;) ) Four months later and I'm incredibly proud of how strong I've become because of MyBootcamp. Grant and Chris have taught me how to really push myself mentally and physically. They know exactly when and how to push me to get past my comfort zone, and because of that, my endurance/strength/mobility levels are at the highest they've ever been. Now I'm addicted to improving those levels with each workout, and my two favorite "Grant-isms" that stick with me every time are 1) There is never perfection, only progress; and 2) Being strong is only good if it's actually useful. Other things that I love about MyBootcamp? I love that the workouts are outdoors; I love the camaraderie; I love the new mobile app which makes managing your MyBootcamp addiction even easier; and most importantly, I love how much Grant and his team care about you. Thank you, Grant and the MyBootcamp team - I couldn't be more thankful.

It all started about a year ago when I was driving by Momentum Personal Training's gym in…read moreEldersburg and decided to stop in to see what it was all about. I had been to other gyms in the past utilizing personal trainers but for some reason nothing ever seemed to stick with me. After meeting with the owner Jeff he created a plan for me to use for the spring of 2015 through now starting with a base build phase and ending with dumbbell work. Because I lived about an hour from Momentum I met with Jeff a few times before beginning the program to establish a baseline and to make sure my form was correct before going off on my own. Over the past year the workouts got harder and harder but Jeff was there every step of the way by either reviewing proper form with me, tweaking the workout if equipment was not available, and most importantly the positive attitude which seems to be infectious. A year later and I have gained 15 lbs of muscle, measuring 37 inches of additional mass in my arms, chest, legs, and hips in addition to strength and endurance. In the past the hardest part of the workout process has always been finding motivation to complete an exercise let alone a 52 week program. But Jeff some how got everything to "click" for me and I found the workouts to be a challenge that I had to accomplish. If you are serious in any aspect of exercise (from weight loss to muscle gain) I would recommend stopping by and talking with Jeff, he and the Momentum team will help you get the results you desire.
