Dear Allan:
Thank you so much, your boot camp was great and I needed help and you were there. After I had my baby I needed to fit into my wedding dress and I was panicked. I cant believe I lost almost 40lbs in 2 months a I felt beautiful in my wedding dress. You made me feel like a princess and I was so happy you came to see me get married. Thank you forever.

I have never felt better or more challenged, you are a cross between Anthony Robbins and Arnold Schwarzenegger . This has been a total success and as the owner of Opulence Magazine in Calgary I know quality. YOU are the real deal Allan.
Thanks so much.

As part of the $50,000 makeover contest Jared was in our Boot camp for 3 months. He
gained 18lbs of lean muscle mass. If you are the kind of guy who just can't gain weight no matter what we can help you.
Gaining weight for some is just as difficult as losing weight for others.
Here is his testimonial:

Allan:

Lots has changed for me in the last three months. Most notably, my body feels better than it has in at least ten years. I have more energy and feel much more comfortable doing physical tasks or activities. My eating habits have also had a huge impact on my body. I find that I do not crave junk food or sugary foods anymore and when I do eat them my body (stomach) does not take kindly to it. Eating better and regular exercise have definitely become a staple in my life and it feels great.

It's almost hard to decide on what I've felt more of a change in, my body or my mind. My confidence level is higher than it's ever been, empowering me with a sense that I can accomplish anything. I now have goals set out for myself and methods and teachings for which to achieve them. I have also gained an ability to not over-react to the smaller happenings in life and am able to separate things I can control from that which I cannot control. Don't sweat it, tomorrows a new day. In all, I feel great, I feel I look great and I'm happy to be alive and healthy. Thanks for everything, Allan. I gave it an honest effort and I'm quite happy with my new lifestyle.

Hey Allan:
I’m finding that the instruction is beneficial. Good tips and advice on how to perform the exercises in the weight room correctly. I thought I was pretty much up to speed on technique but you have shown me better ways. I’m doing a lot more ab and leg work than previously attending the gym on my own. Also getting better informed on diet and adhering to proper amounts of protein. I’ve found it interesting tracking the daily food intake on the Excel spread sheet. Overall good experience.

Thanks Don Conn

Dear Allan:
Easily fitting into size 28 jeans I can't recall ever being below a size 29 - even before three kids!
Have bought my first pair of shorts in 7 years! I finally feel like I have the confidence to wear shorts again!
My energy is limitless! My mood is always upbeat!
My strength has improved immensely. I used to struggle getting the seats out of my mini-van( even with assistance), Now I can do it on my own with ease.
It is so easy to stick with the workouts and eating plan. I am a mother of three ranging from 2years to 7 years and there is school, preschool, swimming, gymnastics, art classes, and soccer for the kids, and I am a part time student and I also work part time. If I can find the time to do the workouts and the eating plan, anyone can!
I I have made great friends already at the boot camp. Immediately, we know we have something in common - the desire to be healthier, fitter and to enjoy each day to its maximum potential!

Congratulations Jackie
Already in one Month You have lost 33.4 LBS of Body Fat to date.

April 4th 2008
Here is a update Allan:

Before coming to boot camp, I was overweight, enjoyed too much junk food as a steady diet, and had little energy to work out after finishing work for the day.

When I arrived at boot camp, Allan motivated me to change my dietary ways, as well as get up early to work out every morning. I ended up losing over 20 pounds, as well as a lot of body fat. One of my main reasons for attending boot camp was that I was going to El Salvador to build houses, and wanted my body to stand up to the heat and hard work. Allan and boot camp more than prepared me, and I was left with a very rewarding experience that I will remember the rest of my life.

Thanks so much Allan, and I would recommend this program to anyone!

Wow Allan:

I can't tell you the difference Boot camp has made in my life. My energy, has shot through the roof!!.
I have lost 30 lbs of fat in the last 3 boot camps and am so glad I signed up for the six month program. I was skeptical at first but you promised and reassured me that it would work. You weren't kidding . It has changed my life.
Thank you so much and to anyone reading this who is on the fence about joining you would be crazy not to.

Hey Allan,
Thanks so much for the great experience this past month at boot camp. I really enjoyed myself and could see my body and stamina improving each day, which is great. I’m going to El Salvador on March 12 to build a house for some needy people, and this really prepared my body for working in the heat.

Allan: the new people in our group were asking me about any results I had a achieved in my first Boot camp and I thought I would share with you what I shared with them. Within 3 weeks of starting boot camp I had shaved 5 mins off my 10km run time. I think this is directly the result of core strengthening but equally important the drive you inspire to work harder! I am now wearing suits I could not before 5 weeks of boot camp. I have lost inches not weight and it is apparent. My colleagues keep asking me " what are you doing at that Boot Camp"?

Debora

Alberta Bootcamp has been so great for me that even at 7 in the morning I am looking and feeling more confident. After one of the really cold morning camps in bowness I stopped by for my morning coffee at Tim Horton's. I was wearing a gigantic oversized hoody but I still felt great! While in line a young VERY attractive guy started hitting on me, he said I was very strong and admirable for getting up in the morning and taking care of my body and mind. He then proceeded to ask the guy behind the counter for a pen and gave me his number and bought me my coffee...It only goes to show you that it is obvious to all...even at 7am that you are taking care of yourself and have more confidence after bootcamp!

1. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the BEST, the BOMB) how would you rate your first week of camp? Please explain…
I absolutely love it. I’m pumped up for it every morning. I may have one eye still closed but I love the feeling of a good workout early in the morning.

I was on vacation for the past couple of weeks, but did not forget I was going to write a testimonial for boot camp!

Dear Allan:
After Alberta Boot camp I noticed a major increase in strength while doing regular everyday errands. All of a sudden a 4L milk was as light as a feather! My husband noticed when he asked me to throw him a t-shirt, and it came at him like a missile!. My body is leaner, stronger and healthier, and I want to do it again!

There you go! I am thinking about coming back in August or Sept, depending on vacation schedules. I had a great time at the camp!

This fitness and weight loss program is honestly the best gift I have given myself. It is motivating, stimulating and challenging…everything my old routine lacked. It jumpstart's my day and I have met a wonderful group of women from all walks of life. I receive dedicated personal instruction – I couldn't’t ask for anything more in an exercise program. You need to do this for yourself.

Kristin Daniel's

I have somewhat of an unusual testimonial I thought I'd share with you. On Wednesday after our hike I had a dentist appointment to have a crown work up on a tooth that broke. My dentist is here in Yorba Linda, and her name is Caroline Dang.....she's a great dentist. She was drilling away on my tooth when the anesthetic started to wear off.....I motioned her, and she stopped and gave me another shot and continued. She still wasn't finished when I felt the pain coming back again.....she had to stop again and give me yet a third shot to numb me so she could finish. She couldn't understand why the medication was going through me so quickly because I had to have a crown once before and that didn't happen. I mentioned that I had just gone on a "climb up Mt. Everest" that morning and she said that was it.....my metabolism was running so high that the medication was running through my body faster than normal. She was impressed.....so was I!

I really enjoyed the hike....even though I am so badly out of shape, I just hung in there and made it to the top.....like everyone else.....and boy was that view gorgeous! I appreciate that you lag behind for us slower ones.....you make us feel so good about ourselves.....I can't wait for next Wednesday's hike!

Thank you,
Barbara Taylor

I was completely bored with exercising. I have exercised my whole life and needed a change. It's great to be excited about my workout program again. I'm beginning by 3rd camp soon!

Pat Beckman, age 68

The Alberta Boot Camp is simply the best! I particularly like the variety of activities and the sense of fun that's built into the program. I really felt like I was getting the maximum benefit out of the program. I highly recommend the program to anyone wanting to improve their fitness and overall health.
Linda Landers

I have to admit I was a little skeptical about something entitled "Boot Camp". I envisioned a lot of yelling and not the most nurturing environment. However, since day one of camp, I have been nothing but thrilled to wake up and hang out with my newly acquainted friends. After two camps, I have learned so many new exercises that have stirred muscles I didn't know I had! The biggest change for me has occurred in my arms, hips and abs. I feel so much leaner and firm. I'm into a size 4 and my energy level has seen a significant boost. So, whether it's interval training with weights or yoga and Pilates, I look forward to every morning's new adventure. Lisa M.

Wow! What can I say about Boot Camp. I can say so much I don't know where to begin. I am 32 years old and have tried many different things to try and get myself into shape. Including working out with a personal trainer that cost me ALOT of money and just ended up hurting my knees. When I thought about doing Boot Camp the idea of getting up to workout at 5:30 in the morning freaked me out a little. Well, I am currently involved in my second camp. After the first 4 week camp I noticed a difference in my body composition that I never had prior. I have never really had a weight problem, yet was never really toned either. My legs and butt were on the flabby side, and as I get older I noticed it getting worse. Right now I feel so good in my clothes - I can't believe it. People have noticed a change in my body. My hips had started getting little fat pockets on the sides and those are GONE! I am amazed at the results of the training that John gives us. Getting up and working out at 5:30 has been easy to adjust to and believe it or not, I have lots of energy throughout the day. I Love Camp and John Ellis is one of the nicest guys I know. He is not your typical arrogant personal trainer type guy. He is awesome. He is so knowledgeable and so helpful in the morning to everyone in the camp. I can't say enough good things about him. I I love camp and I love what is happening to my body as a result of it!

Thank you for the dedication to all of us! You are awesome!
Lisa Gray

In February of this year, I started my first boot camp with John Ellis, I must say I was a bit unsure of my strength and abilities. Could I even keep up? Boot Camp? I've been there before! In 1988 I left the United States Marine Corps after serving eight years and being in the best shape of my life. Now, I'm a 47 year old female, 50 pounds overweight and in the worst shape of my life. I allowed allowed the corporate demons to suck up my soul for the past 12 years. I have tried every diet in the book from Weight Watchers, Fit For Life, drugs and personal training - unsuccessfully. Now it was time for a rebirth and I knew boot camp would do it. But could I handle it 22 years later when waking up at 0430 is a challenge in itself . Well John Ellis makes sure everyone at camp finds their personal success as he lifts our spirits and demands that each of us embrace our personal strength to the best of our abilities. As this was accomplished so was a gradual physical, emotionaltal transformation. Now while attending my third boot camp, I am stronger, healthier, with noticeable increased energy levels and have dropped one dress size. I have achieved my personal goals and much more . My weight, I no longer worry about because I feel too good to be preoccupied my with negative thoughts. This is truly a life changing experience and if your ready for the commitment, join the journey, come aboard. If not, stay home and sleep your way through life! I did it for 12 years. :-) !!

I have been away from a fitness lifestyle for years. I replaced fitness for watching my bottom lines grow. I saw John's ad and was compelled to act for two reasons: #1: it didn't sound like a sissy camp. #2: I had no time management rationalizations to use against exercising locally from 5:30-6:30am, a time slot previously reserved for snoring. What is the result? I have more energy and I am proud of myself for getting something started. I did not choose this program because of John's extensive credentials. Now that I have done this for two weeks, I know that it is his expertise at working different muscle groups every day & incorporating different exercises that has made the workout difficult, and yet possible for me. The variety keeps it fresh and makes it a total body workout. I would highly recommend this program for anyone seeking to rekindle their love for a fitness lifestyle. Melinda, Coto de Caza

I arrived at boot camp overweight and out of shape - a true couch potato who loved food and hated exercise. But, I knew it was time for a change and John's boot camp sounded like just the cure. What I was really looking for was something to jump start me into better fitness and eating habits. What could be better than four weeks of intense fitness training with other women under the guidance of an experienced trainer? And the classes were great! The variety of activities and pace of the class made the hour fly by each day. Don't get me wrong, it was a lot of hard work. John pushed me harder than I would ever push myself working out alone. But he also allowed for the individual abilities of each participant. It didn't matter that I was the slowest or the weakest. What matters is that I worked at and improved at everything. And the results are impressive. During the four weeks, I lost eight pounds. I lost two inches each around my chest, waist, and hips. I also lost over one inch on each arm and leg. I improved my one mile run time by 10%. Plus, I have more energy than ever. Best of all, it has given me just the boost I was looking to attain. I'm now eating better, sleeping better, and exercising regularly. I have the hope and belief that I can continue my new fitness habits and my journey to a leaner and healthier me. And I'm looking forward to returning to future boot camps to challenge myself again.

Thanks!
Diana, RSM
