Boot Camp Focus Group Challenge

Hi! Susie here, Fran’s Executive Assistant. I am so excited to share with you, our readers, a glimpse into one of the most thrilling projects I’ve had the pleasure of managing!


Fran came to me a few weeks back with an idea of a Focus Group to glean some feedback on our online weight-loss system at MyEqulibriumCoach.com. She said to find a few women to use the system, and we will give them some personal training, boot-camp style, and have them give us weekly feedback on both the system and the training. My first thought, “Can I participate?!” (Yes.)  So, I took this idea and ran with it!


I am pleased to announce that this week, we at Aerobodies Fitness are gearing up for our first ever Boot Camp Focus Group! We have selected about ten women, who wanted to lose 25 lbs. or more, ranging in age from 24-54 (including me!) to participate in a walking challenge in conjunction with weekly boot camp personal training sessions lead by Brian, one of our very own personal trainers! Together with the MyEquilibruimCoach.com website, it is a program guaranteed to show results. We are giving the women all the tools they need to strive for their goals, meet them, and track their progress on the way. Each will get a pedometer to document their daily steps, The MyEquilibriumCoach.com website to track the foods they eat, and track calories burned from the boot camp, walking, and any other activities.


“Mission & Purpose – Empower women in Washington Metro area with the tools, strategies and motivation necessary to become healthy and physically fit so that they can encourage and mentor other women as well as their own families to lead balanced, healthy lifestyles.”


We begin this journey on March 8. (Yes, less than one week away!) It will come to completion on May 17. We are delighted that the City of Alexandria, Chinquapin Center, is able to lend support to this mission by providing the location for our Boot Camp to meet during the colder/winter months. 


Be sure and keep an eye out for bios and photos of these women in the coming newsletters and of course, right here on our blog!

    We had an awesome workout. The weather was nice and we took advantage of it. I was extrmely pleased an excited to see you ladies put forth the great effort. Remember, it is tough to get started with any new program, so don't get discouraged and keep up the good work. Focus yourself and have the will and desire to do better. We all need to push and better ourselves.
