Bootcamp in Rome

With the weather getting warmer in Rome, it’s the perfect time to start working outdoors. On top of that, summer is coming up fast. When I heard there would be a bootcamp in March with Coach G I was eager to try it out.

I have heard about bootcamps from my sister who has attended Barry’s Bootcamps in LA. When I told her I signed up, she was a bit worried as she knows I probably couldn’t bear being yelled at.

However, this bootcamp is nothing like the stories she had shared about her bootcamp experience with Barry. Coach G was supportive and created a positive atmosphere. The workout was sure tough and I was already feeling it when we just got through with the warm-up.

The view from where we worked out wasn’t bad either. I doubt there are very few places in the world that could beat a view like this.

There were some really good exercises and the one that stood out was a superb ab workout that we did.  It was challenging but Pilates sure helped.  While Coach G wanted us to get excited about every exercise we had to do, it was difficult to do so when you are still catching your breath!

There was a pretty good number of people who attended bootcamp but it was well conducted that you sure got one heck of a workout. Finally, when we were done with the last exercise called “Suicide” and were told that it’s time to stretch, I was thankful as I was close to running out of gas.

I sure had a good workout and at the same time it was fun.  It was good to see a few familiar faces and meet new people.  Oh yeah, it was effective too because yesterday, the day after bootcamp, I did feel sore mainly in the legs.  I was struggling to walk up stairs yesterday but this morning, I feel better.

The bootcamp is presently only for this month but I hope Coach G will have it also for the following months.  So, if you are in Rome and looking to join a group for a fun and intense workout, this bootcamp is it.
