2008 November > Anytime Fitness Launches Fit Camp

"The Biggest Loser" television show inspires Anytime Fitness Boot Camp & Fit Camp In addition to serving as an inspiration to overweight Americans and Canadians to lose weight through a combination of hard work and sound diet, NBC's popular television show "the Biggest Loser" has prompted a growing number of clubs to produce their own versions of boot-camp-style programs to motivate prospects and members who are eager to shed pounds. The show is a great motivational and education tool to get people into a club setting claims local Anytime Fitness owner Andre Avigdor…"viewers see normal people achieving amazing results through hard work and determination and they start to believe that they can too". For its part, Anytime Fitness here in Ajax & Whitby offers a variety of boot-camp-style options that borrow a number of elements directly from the hit reality show. Participants in the 8 or 16 week Boot Camp experience at Anytime Fitness, generally looking to lose 25-50 pounds or more, meet 5 times a week. The program, like the hit television show, incorporates education on nutrition along with a customized meal plan, work-out program, weekly weigh-ins and monthly progress photos. Boot Campers review their progress and goals each week with the staff at Anytime Fitness. The recently launched 8 week "Fit Camp" program at Anytime Fitness is essentially a slightly less aggressive version of the Boot Camp program and was created for individuals looking to lose 10-25 pounds, improve general conditioning and/or those looking to maintain their results after graduating from the more intensive Boot camp program. "After the Boot Camp program is over" explains local Anytime Fitness owner Andre Avigdor, "we want our members to have the tools they need to maintain a healthy lifestyle and retain the results they worked so hard to achieve". In addition to modeling some of their programs after the hit television program, some locations of Anytime Fitness (including the Whitby location launching this month) have also adopted the equipment, manufactured by Star Trac a leader in commercial fitness equipment, that is being used in the Biggest Loser gym for season six of the show.
