I first began the boot camp program run by Alicia Harrison in the Fall of 2005. For those who know me, I am not a “program exerciser”, I have never been one to join a class, rather enjoyed the freedom of working out on my own schedule. But as I began to experience what age can do to your body, I found I needed to change it up a bit.

The Boot camp is a most motivating environment, it is fun and hard at the same time, the 45 minutes flies by so fast, I am amazed by how much Alicia has pushed me to excel and test my physical and mental self. I like to describe it a Junior High Gym Class for the adults. (Just think back to bear crawls and frog hops,,,yep, we are still doing that)

While I have been able to realize great physical benefits from boot camp, the bonus is the friendships that I have gained over the past 3+ years. We are a group in the sense that we are all together in our mission,,,,those who begin together will finish together. We range in age of 19 to 55+.

I encourage anyone to come out and try her class, you will enjoy it, even through the pain, and as my fellow boot campers can tell you, Alicia has a bit of a wicked side to her, so whatever you do, don’t tell her the class was not hard enough, you will live to regret it.

I was nervous about starting an exercise program because of my weight...especially a “boot camp.” Alicia has made me feel welcome and included…even though I am the slowest. I feel that I am turning the corner to a healthy, more active lifestyle…

I have never met such a genuine trainer as Alicia. Her love for her work shows in her passion to see her clients reach the highest potential. I was stagnant in my workouts and she motivated me to move forward; to keep reaching for the goal and it will surely come. That passionate look in her eyes for her clients success is obvious when you workout...and believe me, you work out.

I have said it before, but I think it bears repeating, that I wouldn't be where I am today had it not been for you, the Bootcamp and the encouragement I received from you and everyone else in the group. You all pushed me and inspired me to keep trying harder.

When I first came to Alicia, my exercise routine consisted solely of tennis once a, maybe twice a week. As I was approaching the age of 50, my metabolism was slowing down, my muscle mass was dwindling, and I was putting on weight. Now, nearly three years later, I am going to the gym regularly with a weights routine that Alicia started me on and participating in Alicia’s boot camp twice a week. I have lost those “unwanted” pounds and feel better about myself and my health. Thank you Alicia!

Alicia is gifted as an instructor and motivator of people! She doesn't miss an opportunity to encourage and instruct each individual. Boot Camp is the best workout I have found!

Alicia was my personal trainer and boot camp instructor. Her enthusiasm, can-do attitude and motivation got me through those 5:30am boot camp classes and personal training sessions for two years. My body completely changed in which I became leaner and stronger. Whenever I wanted to give up, she motivated me to keep me going and for that I am grateful. I highly recommend her as a personal trainer and boot camp instructor. I would still be training with her, but I now live in California . She will change your life and make you really enjoy working out!

As a new recruit to Alicia's strength training program, let me just say ' where has she been all this time?' I needed someone to challenge me, make me go the extra mile and Alicia is the answer. I enjoy the workouts and appreciate her dedication. She truly takes our health and wellness to heart. Thank you Alicia.

Alicia has a gift...she inspires you to accomplish more, then raises the bar when you succeed . The creative instruction, the fun, and the new friendships are definitely the bonus! Although, I swear, her watch has 70 seconds in every 1 minute drill!

If you are limited in some physical way due to injury or handicap, Alicia creates an alternative workout for you so you never feel left out of the group or less than challenged. I have a spinal injury to a disc which limits my ability to do high impact exercise …I have never felt stronger or more able to challenge myself thanks to Alicia and the alternative workout program.

Alicia has a way of drawing together motivation and fun during workouts which keeps you wanting more. I greatly appreciate the personal approach she has to each client even while working within a group. Thanks Alicia!

Boot Camp has been a phenomenal way for me to stay in shape. Even though I know it is important to exercise I just do not enjoy doing it and your boot camp has made it fun for me. What is amazing is your sense to recognize each persons ability and design your class such that everyone is pushed to our own individual capacities.

I get full body training with resistance and cardio mixed in without ever having to think about it, and the camaraderie is something I look forward to each morning. Thank you for your commitment to my health and for pushing me to new limits.

You definitely have a very special gift! I like working out with you because you are a great motivator and you design exercises that are tough but very creative and fun to do. I don’t like working with weights but I enjoy the Tuesday/Thursday sessions because you make them a lot of fun!!

Boot Camp with Alicia is truly amazing. Her creative workouts may leave you physically exhausted, yet energized, and her enthusiasm is contagious! She generously shares her wealth of healthful knowledge with us that goes way beyond an hour-long class. While I was never a person who had "friends" at the gym, now I look forward to being with the group and sharing my time with them all. Alicia is the glue that holds us all together!

Alicia is a fabulous trainer. She has a way of motivating everyone to be and do their best. Her positive attitude and love of what she does is what makes our group feel like family. I hate the challenge, but love the way I feel after her workouts. I would never push myself like Alicia does.

"I have exercised regularly for years, but Alicia moved me out of my comfort zone and noticeably improved my fitness. She has a way of pushing you beyond what you think you can do. Just when I'm ready to quit, I'll hear her yelling 'Don't cheat yourself!!' and I can mentally re-focus to get through the drill."

Other than yoga, joining Alicia’s bootcamp is the best thing I’ve done for myself in years. My stamina and strength have increased tremendously and my clothes fit much better. Alicia is great at taking everyone’s different levels of physical ability and gearing a work out session that works for one and all. Those 45 minutes are the longest, hottest, most grueling and yet fun and invigorating of my week. Twice a week is simply not enough for me! I highly recommend ENRG Fitness to all who are looking to add a challenge to their physical fitness routine.

Alicia is fantastic!! Alicia has a wonderful ability to motivate and train individuals in their pursuit of physical health.
