As a former Paratrooper in the Army\u2019s 82nd Airborne Division, I wanted to create and implement a military-style boot camp for people. I had a \u201cWhat the f*** did I get myself into?\u201d moment during my first few weeks at boot camp in Fort Benning, Georgia. It was a major culture shock. As time went on, I started to understand the Army mentality. Basic Infantry School was not just about firing rifles, machine guns, room clearing drills and patrols. There was also a mental challenge component to the training. Putting stress on the soldiers makes them more effective. This is true grit \u2013 harnessing the power of passion and perseverance.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Waking up for a 5 AM training session is not always ideal coupled with the fact that trying something new presents its own challenges. Meeting new people, having to go to bed a bit earlier the night before, and physical exercise can force one to step out of their comfort zone. I\u2019m sure all of you have your own challenges and stresses. This program is designed to channel that stress, be comfortable with doing things that are less than ideal and transfer that to everyday life stressors that include raising kids, work, travel, managing a household and family.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You will grow stronger, so you are more and more capable of handling problems. The only way to become mentally stronger is through resistance. The goal of the four-week boot camp is to physically and mentally condition you so that you can foster your mental fortitude and grit. It is my hope that clients use this opportunity to challenge themselves and walk away after the four weeks feeling better conditioned, more confident, with a higher tolerance for physical and mental stress.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
SCHEDULE IS AS FOLLOWS:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n 1. Each class group will have no more than 8 people.<\/p>\n 2.
