I can't say enough good things about Pride Conditioning and their amazing boot camp program! The instructor, Doug Seamens, is the BEST! Doug is so knowledgeable and helpful. If you are doing something wrong he will correct you immediately and push you to limits you never thought were possible. I have tried several different work out programs and personal trainers and this is by far the most effective and best program I have ever experienced. In 7 months I have lost 15 pounds and more importantly dropped 3 pant sizes from a size 12 to a size 6. I started off barely being able to run a block - now I can run a mile. I was not able to do one "real" push up when I started now I can do 20 without stopping. I could only do a wall sit for 15 seconds now I can do a wall sit for 3+ minutes. I have gained upper bodystrength that I never knew was possible. It is such an empowering feeling being able to lift and carry things that my husband used to have to carry for me. I have so much more energy and feel better than ever! If you are looking to push yourself to achieve workout and health goals look no further – Pride Conditioning is for you!

"I had lost 22 pounds before I came to Boot Camp but I still wasn't feeling the energy I should have. Since beginning Boot Camp I have lost 4 more pounds and many inches. I have gone down two pants sizes since the first session. I don't feel sluggish anymore."
-Sandy

"Hey! I just wanted to reach out to you and thank you for everything over these past 5 weeks. Justin and I had a great time and REALLY see a big difference! I lost 3 dress sizes in the time I spent with you and feel that I am in the best "cardio" shape I've ever been in. I got my dress altered this morning and was REALLY excited. I really appreciate it!
Justin and I think so much of you, your program and what you are doing for people...
Thanks again and take care!"

"What can I say...CONFIDENCE, CONFIDENCE, CONFIDENCE. Lost a little bit of it before I started working out at Pride! But now, I feel like I "got my sexy back!" Comment #2: My body is doing stuff I never thought it was capable of. It's the first boot camp that has really challenged me...LIKE EVERY WEEK!"

It is hard for many of my clients to believe that I did not always look the way I do, that I was at one time, well, fat. There, I said it, I was fat. I carried it well though and I wasn't enourmous, I was just big. I'm 6 foot 4 so it's easier to hide weight than someone who is 6 inches shorter. When I started training in MMA, Muay Thai and Boxing and also working out in the gym 6 days a week in March of 2008 I weighed 269 pounds and was around 29-31% body fat. GROSS!

I was in the gym so much I decided to become a Personal Trainer and start helping others lose weight. I had been training for about a year before I decided to start what has become the best Boot Camp and weight and fat loss program in the Charlotte area. When I first started our Boot Camps I weighed 245 pounds and my body fat was at 25%. STILL NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

I was still working out like most guys do, lifting weights, thinking that I would magically get in amazing shape by doing simple weight lifting exercises, the old school way. My MMA and Muay Thai training was progressing and I thought it was taking care of the cardio I needed to lose more fat, but I was wrong. I was stuck at 245 pounds and 25% body fat. My workouts were not getting me results. UNACCEPTABLE!

So I redesigned my workouts and used this knowledge to give my Boot Camp clients amazing workouts that got amazing results! No more old school, no more doing simple weight lifting exercises and cardio separate. These new workouts have been developed into the best muscle building, weight and fat loss workouts you will ever come across! Using muli-joint exercises, plyommetrics, kettlebells and adding lots of body weight and cardio exercises to our workouts, we now have a proven way of getting serious results. After developing our amazing workouts I was seeing results, I weighed 220 pounds and I was at 15% body fat, but I wanted more. So we also developed a tried and tested meal plan and a new eating lifestyle that goes hand in hand with our workouts and is guaranteed to shed fat. It worked for me and it can work for you!

I now weigh 190 pounds and I finally achieved a long-time goal of single digit body fat usually reading between 7 and 9%! It's hard to believe how big I use to be but it's the truth, I use to be fat but now I have the body I've always wanted and I feel great!

And my new goal is to share with all of you how I was able to get where I am today. I promise you that it is possible to go from fat to fit and anyone can do it!

PRIDE Conditioning gets results and I am living proof!
