I just finished a 6 week transformation challenge at Pulse Fitness, and I absolutely loved it. The program is extremely effective when followed strictly. The team of fitness and nutrition experts give you all the tools to succeed. They lay out a meal plan specific to your goals and motivate you to work hard in and out of the gym. The boot camp classes are challenging but extremely fun, and each trainer modifies the class on the fly to fit all fitness levels. I never left a single class disappointed!
My personal goal was to lose 5% body fat (my boyfriend did the program with me and set the same goal). By the end of the third week I had already achieved my goal! The most difficult and important part of the program is training yourself to eat properly, but once you are able to conquer that you will see immediate results. We stuck to the nutrition program rigorously (we only allowed ourselves one cheat day throughout the entire 6 weeks) and we both saw incredible changes. All in all, I lost over 10% body fat and my boyfriend lost almost 9%. That equaled out to 16lbs of fat! I gained at least 4lbs of muscle!
This program really is the real deal and if you work hard it will definitely pay off! The only "fine print" (which they tell you about before you sign up) is that you will have to put a $500 deposit down. This is used as "bet on yourself" to give you some added motivation to stay on track and complete the program. Once you achieve your goal, your money is refunded. They also give you a list of four supplements (glutamine, protein, aminos and fish oil) but they are completely optional (though I would recommend them as I definitely saw results).
Once again, I cannot describe how rewarding this program has been for me. I highly recommend giving it a try.
