| - The camp workouts are great and the positive vibe is amazing always from both trainers and members/challengers. They do provide the meal plan and the exercising which does work. The reason for only giving it 3 stars is a few things that I'm disappointed about:
1. When I signed up I was very clear the workouts were not what scared me, but it was the meal prepping because I don't know how to cook. During orientation and the first week I expressed this concern again and again. During orientation I was told recipes would be shared and posted online by the camp and other members. I believe I saw 1 recipe, I know the accountability is on me to figure out the meals, but then don't promise something you're not going to do.
2. There were a few of us that started our first challenge a week late, but unlike the first group that started on time and got feedback and advice a week prior to the last week, us late starts weren't even acknowledged until mid week of week 6. This made it feel very unorganized and like it didn't matter if we met the challenge or not. Of course once I asked for what to work on , or how to prepare for the last week I got some feedback but again the group that finished on time got all this without question during week five as part of the announcements.
3. Lastly, it's awkward to have a guy come in and introduce himself as the new director of the camp while the other one hasn't stepped down. Or hearing conversation on the phone about why she's being let go, this is just as we're passing by.
The first time I went to an orientation was at the location in Phoenix, referred to by a friend. That camp instilled confidence, structure, and organization. I got more food feedback in orientation that first time (I didn't join) than I have here at the peoria camp. The people are great, the trainers are awesome, but it still feels like the other camp I went to originally helped out the challengers more proactively. I even remember the director there saying they had someone we could use to prepare meal for us at a charge of course, when I asked at the peoria camp they had no idea.
Does the program work YES! Will you enjoy the workouts ABSOLUTELY!! If you're like me and don't know how to cook, prepare to eat bland food as they will not provide recipes or assistance in that area. Without the food in place, it's double hard to win the challenge.
