Marianne is an outstanding client…period. Hard working, consistent, always positive and dedicated. She arrives quietly and takes her place among the veterans in the Shaw Park morning program…always ready to go. She works extraordinarily hard and hustles to the next challenge…even when it entails crawling backwards up a muddy hill at 6:15am. In the world of SFT Boot Camp…Marianne is a rock star!

In her words: I am starting my 3rd year. There are a couple things that bring me back each session. First, I have and continue to achieve results. For years I had struggled to find a program that I would attend consistently. I've tried countless other fitness classes along with trying to work out on my own but I never stuck to a regular schedule and always found excuses why I couldn't work out, which then led to quitting because I was not seeing any benefit. My coworker, Greg Dart, who is also in the class, encouraged me to try boot camp. As a former soccer player in high school, he said "Don't worry, it'll be just like soccer practice." Of course, I hadn't been on a soccer field for years! However, with this program, I've been able to stick to the schedule (even though I hate the sound of my alarm going off at 5AM!) because I know what the tangible benefits are. Second, I love the people. When I started three years ago, I was really questioning if I was in over my head. There are so many amazing athletes in the class. And although it was a bit intimidating at first (and so much harder than soccer practice!), the constant encouragement from the instructors and class mates is really what keeps me coming back each session.
