If a quick Internet search for Toronto Boot Camp has left you breathless, here are some of the major criteria that will help you in your search. Whether you live downtown or commute from areas outside the GTA, you'll want a boot camp that fits your budget and fits into your day. Follow these guidelines and you'll soon find the camp that will tone up your body and tune up your social life.

Most of us are concerned about money and your first question might be how much will it cost you to join a Toronto boot camp? There's just no getting around it - the highly qualified fitness instructors at boot camps require adequate compensation for their time and expertise. However, here's a cost-effective tip; the larger the class, the bigger the space, AND the lower the cost.

Boot camp is not personal training. You're just a soldier in the army of out of shape people looking to improve themselves. The cost is also dependent on the length of your boot camp. Expect to pay between $300 and $500 for your camp, depending on whether it's four, six or eight weeks in duration.

Think about your fitness objectives and what sort of a self-starter you are. If you just need a jump start, then a four-week class might be the boost you need to take off on your own. Six weeks is a nice even number - short enough that you won't become bored and long enough that you'll see results. Those results will keep you motivated. Or, choose an eight-week boot camp if you have at least 15 pounds to lose and you have a specific goal, such as a wedding or high school reunion.

The time of year is a key factor. Do your research and see if your Toronto boot camp has an indoor and outdoor component. When the winds sweep across Lake Ontario, you may not want to be sprinting up Yonge Street on a lovely February day, or slipping through snow first thing in the morning up in Newmarket before hopping on the train to come into the city.

Or, perhaps that crisp, Southern Ontario air is invigorating and you can totally see yourself doing pushups out in a field in the dead of winter. Take heart that many boot camps run by personal training professionals take place in high school and church gymnasiums. It's not about being trendy. Boot camps are about hard work.

The time of day is a very serious consideration. If you're not a morning person, don't make yourself get out of bed at 5 a.m. to slide into your running shoes and get out the door to put your body through strenuous exercise. It's a recipe for failure. A late afternoon or evening boot camp might be better suited for you. Success with your exercise, and seeing your boot camp through from beginning to end, is the most important, so choose your time to exercise wisely. Lunch time is ideal for the 9 to 5 crowd and stay-at-home-moms should look for boot camps in the evening, when the kids are in school, or choose a boot camp that allows moms to bring their children in strollers.

 

From Oshawa to Hamilton, Toronto Island to Barrie, there are many options when it comes to a Toronto Boot Camp. Good luck in your search for the boot camp and stick with it! You deserve it.
