Get in shape with Bernadette’s Boot Camp

There aren’t many things worth getting up at 6:30 in the morning for, but Bernadette’s Boot Camp is one of them.

Two mornings a week at 7:00 a.m., ten ladies roll out of bed and show up at the gym for an hour-long workout that’s unlike any other. By combining free weight exercises with cardio, weight machines, and Pilates-style core exercises, you basically get three workouts in one: First, the heart rate is elevated throughout the hour-long class to maximize fat and calorie burning. Second, not only are you getting a great cardiovascular workout for stamina, you’re also building muscle, which helps you burn fat more effectively. Third, Bernadette is constantly changing the exercises from class to class so the body can never really acclimate and is always challenged, which is the most effective way to get stronger, faster.

“I would never be able to push myself that hard,” says Missy, who has been training at Jean Robert’s Gym for several years. “I love the Boot Camp class because it’s the best way to get in shape, and fast.”

The class is formatted to run for eight weeks, two 1-hour classes a week, and includes 15 classes for only $150. “The nice thing about working with a group in eight-week segments is I can really pace the class for that one group, and make it harder as they get stronger. The workout we do in week three is going to be three times as challenging as the workout we did on day one,” Bernadette says. “It’s amazing to see how much everyone progresses, and so fast. There is also a lot of camaraderie that develops. It’s almost like a team mentality. Everyone pushes each other, cheers each other on. It makes working out a lot more fun. The reward for me is watching people’s bodies change, get stronger and leaner.”

The other benefit of Bernadette’s Boot Camp is financial: for only $10/class, you get access to Aspen’s most beautiful, state-of-the-art gym where you can enjoy the newest and best equipment, 360 degree views, and the open, clean layout that has recently been fully renovated to include hardwood floors.

“The Boot Camp is the best deal in town,” says Olivia Daane-Rische, “With the attention Bernadette is giving us, you’re basically getting a session with a personal trainer for one-tenth of the price.”
