Why is koi FITNESS "the better boot camp"?
koi FITNESS is more than just an exercise class, its a lifestyle. Not only do you receive great boot camp style workouts, we also include a weekly yoga class, full fitness assessments including body fat testing, nutritional guidance based on your personal eating habits, online progress tracking and weekly recipes, a running team, and fun events. koi FITNESS only employs high-caliber trainers that hold the highest levels of education, certification and experience in the field. Each trainer has gone through an intensive training period and undergoes frequent testing to ensure that the best possible service is being provided to each member. This type of small group outdoor training is still relatively new to the exercise industry, and Koi not only has great depth in trainers and instructors, but greater total experience than any other program of its kind.

Can I go to different locations and times?
Because we assign you to a group specific to “your” fitness level, we prefer you attend at the specific class time you have signed-up for, so we can give you the best workout possible. We understand that sometimes life gets hectic, so if you cannot attend your regular class just let us know and we'll work out a schedule that works for you

How many participants are there during each session? How do I know what level to start at?
At the beginning of each session we assess each individual’s fitness level. We place you in groups with peers who have similar fitness levels and goals to help motivate and challenge you. Each group is designed to give you the most effective workout possible while providing a safe, and supportive environment. We limit each training group to about 10 individuals per instructor.

Do I need to be in shape or at a certain fitness level before I sign up for koi FITNESS?
No, that is the whole reason we are here: to help you get in better shape and improve your overall fitness. koi FITNESS attracts individuals at every level from beginners to hard-core athletes. We have worked with rock climbers, tri-athletes, weekend warriors and people who have never worn a pair of running shoes in their life. The ages range from 20 to over 50.

I am already in shape; will I get anything out of your program?
Yes. Since we have multiple groups training at different levels during each class, we cater to people of all fitness levels. Many individuals find that the cross-training aspect of our program increases their performance in other sports or activities. Our instructors will push you to get maximum results—whatever your level of fitness.

How much running is involved?
The amount of running you do is determined by which group you’re assigned to, as well as your personal goals. We never place you in a level where you will need to run in order to catch up with your group and can accommodate those with running limitations during most sessions and locations.

How long are the classes?
Each class lasts exactly one-hour. At certain times of the year, we offer a special session called Extreme Week in which the classes are 90 minutes long.
top
What should I bring to class?
Wear comfortable workout attire such as a long-sleeve T-shirt, gym pants and a light jacket along with sturdy and supportive running shoes or cross-trainers. We will be doing sit-ups and push-ups on pavement, dirt, and grass so keep in mind that you will get dirty. During the colder winter months, it’s good to bring a hat or gloves. We also strongly recommend wearing headlamps when it’s dark out.

What do you do when it rains?
We workout rain or shine and will utilize covered areas as much as possible to avoid heavy rain. We will not compromise your safety. Our instructors are well versed in what it takes for a safe, sane, but intense workout.
