“"Dear Curtis, If you asked me four months ago...would you like to workout early in the morning, sometimes in the dark, sometimes in the rain, sometimes in the cold and sometimes in the heat, I would think you were crazy. Maybe I am, but I really enjoy the 30-minutes I spend at boot camp. The exercises are challenging and different every day, the pace is awesome and even though everyone is not at the same level, I am never bored. As a bonus you have to be the happiest dude I know at 6:30am. I am stronger, thinner and more motivated the rest of the day. Thanks for challenging me and my workout habits." Sincerely,”
“"I started Boot Camp FX June 22, 2009. Since I started working out with Curtis, I have lost 10 pounds and a lot of inches from my body measurements. My blood pressure has lowered from 132 to 118. I have gained a lot of strength in my arms and my endurance has increased. When I first came to Boot Camp FX, I could hardly last during the warm up routine, now I can do the warm up and all the circuits. Each day we do something different and challenging. It is definitely more challenging than working out in a gym. My goal is to lose weight and become physically fit and I am definitely doing that with Boot Camp FX."”
“when i met curtis i had a goal to be in the best shape of my life for my wedding i had held on to old misconceptions about diet pills and quick and easy diet fixes and curtis taught me how to eat right and that through positive working out hardcore working out i could change my body and i went to fit into my dress and they had to take it in three inches so that was a start showed up in my wedding family and friends who hadn't seen me in ages pretty much said that i had shrunk and now uh through keeping up my workouts with curtis i've set long-term goals for my body and it's helped my whole outlook on life”
“"Hi Curtis, I knew you back when you were a trainer at the Spectrum Health Club. Although I did not have the privilege of hiring your services, I was able to watch firsthand the awesome instruction, dedication and individual attention you exuded to each and every one of your clients. Your training techniques were innovative, motivating and challenging, no matter the fitness level of your clients. You were the trainer I would (and did!) recommend to any and all those who asked. Your background, expertise and knowledge of the fitness world continue to amaze me. Keep up the great work! Sincerely,”
“I started Boot Camp Fx about 2 months ago! Since I've been working out with Curtis (and the rest of the group), I've noticed that I have more endurance and am getting more toned especially in my arms where I've not had much success achieving in the past just by working out at the gym. Altho the workouts are quite challenging, Curtis makes it enjoyable even while pushing us to the next level. The available workout times make it easy to fit exercise into my schedule, too. I definitely feel stronger and healthier. I would highly recommend Bootcamp Fx with Curtis! CURTIS ROCKS!!!”
“"Hi Curtis, Thank you so much for continuing to send me your newsletter. It is always so positive and a lot of the time it helps me to look at fitness/getting fit in a different light. I especially enjoyed this last issue. It really made me stop and think about my own thoughts, and the effect my words have on every area of my life. "Compare yourself to the person you were yesterday. If you are better in someway than that person, then you are a success today." That's fantastic! If more people lived that way, we would all have greater self-esteem. Keep up the good work."”

“In a panic over an upcoming wedding trip to Texas, I started training with Curtis. I was amazed at how quickly the weight, and more importantly, the inches have come off. Curtis knows how to focus on those "problem areas" as well as getting the whole body balanced and toned. Also, I have trouble with my knee and he was always sure to modify the exercises and be mindful of not aggravating any of my other old injuries. I feel fit, strong and finally comfortable in my own body. My only complaint is now I have to buy a whole new wardrobe!”
“After “celebrating” my 50th birthday I realized I had a couple of choices; to be 50, flabby and feeling frumpy OR to be 50, fit and feeling fabulous. To me, the choice was obvious and thanks to Curtis I am on my way to becoming fit and I am feeling better with every workout. Curtis does a fantastic job of orchestrating effective, time-efficient workouts that are never boring. Boot camp FX is great and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their physical fitness and feeling fantastic as a result. Thanks Curtis!”

“hi um I came to Curtis because I had been working out pretty much my whole life and I just really wasn't seeing the results that I wanted and I had heard about Curtis through some friends and so I've been working out with him now for two months and um I've noticed some big changes in the way my clothes fit um actually I had to Pinn my pants this morning just so they wouldn't fall off which is good for me and um big changes in um my arms and pretty much all over the place and it's been a lot of fun”
“"Hi Curtis, I just wanted to thank you for being such a great trainer. You are extremely passionate about what you do and it shows in the manner in which you handle yourself with your clients. You always kept me on my toes and proved that I could push myself further than what I thought I could ever do. I appreciate your commitment to me and your willingness to share your knowledge about nutrition and physiology. You're the best and I look forward to working out with you again!!"”
“"Boot Camp FX has pushed me to a level of intensity that I haven't had in years. In just one month, I feel stronger and better about myself. Working out in a small group pushes me and keeps me accountable. The workouts are challenging, but rewarding. Every day when I leave, I feel like I have accomplished something. Now that I have been going to Boot Camp for a few weeks, I honestly can't imagine not having it as part of my routine. Thanks for everything."”
“I just started boot camp a couple months ago and I love it! I've never been the best at sticking to a workout routine but Curtis keeps me motivated to keep coming back and I am definitely feeling a difference. The workouts are 30-45 minutes but very challenging. I usually go for the 5:30am class and it's a great way to get your day going. What's even more motivating is the people that come have been coming for years so you know that's a good sign!”
“HEY CURTIS, It's been a while since I've given you an update. I know you see me everyday so I don't know if you noticed, but I have lost a total of 9 pounds since I started with you. I have muscle definition and overall, I am so happy with my results. I honestly have always dreaded going to the gym even when I had a trainer. Your program has not only kept my interest, but it has continuously challenged me. Thanks for everything.”
“"I have been training with Curtis for approximately six months, three days a week. I am continually impressed with the innovative workouts that he plans specifically to help me achieve my goals. I have gone from a tight 35 pant size to a comfortable 32. I have gained amazing flexibility and great muscle mass and lost most of my unsightly fat. I will be forever in debt to Curtis for all that he has done for me." Thank you Curtis,”
“"Curtis is the most focused and results oriented fitness coach I have ever had. He helped me achieve an unprecedented level of fitness. Curtis worked with me to prepare me for my successful climbs of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mt. Fuji and all the major peaks in southern California, some peaks were ascended multiple times. The fact that Curtis is an accomplished athlete in his own right strengthens his credentials to help others."”
“"Curtis, By far I feel you are the best trainer and your clients success reflect that. I feel your training methods are by far superior and advanced than any other trainer. When asked about trainers I have full confidence in knowing that you would design and implement whatever is appropriate for that client to achieve their maximum goals. My kids have trained with some very elite trainers and I consider you to be one."”

The workout times available make it easy to fit exercise into my schedule, so there are no excuses. The classes are fun, laid back but definitely challenging and empowering. I feel stronger and healthier already.”
“I am a returning “bootcamper” to Curtis Ludlow’s Boot Camp FX and I’m here to tell you that if you’re looking to get fit and get results then this fitness program is for you! Curtis is a great motivator and keeps the exercise program challenging, yet fun (meaning you ‘want’ to do it)! I highly recommend this program and an added benefit is that you’ll meet some really great people!”
“"Curtis has helped me 'jump start' my workout. With my best friends wedding approaching and after being sedentary for over 2 years, I needed a push. He has helped put together a great program for me and I enjoy it very much. Working out is much more fun when the exercise is tailored specifically to the individuals goals and needs. Thank you for everything."”
“"In my opinion your strategies and the way you set up a workout plan work very well. I love your attitude your'e always positive and never negative. When I work out with you you give me the extra push to do the exercise better. And the best thing is the workouts work I can see that my core is stronger and my glutes are tighter so your stuff really works!!"”
