Bootcamp Republic

Fantastic experience: I've taken part in a few bootcamps in NYC through the years, and by far Bootcamp Republic is the absolute best. The classes are incredibly small, allowing everyone in the class to get attention. The trainers pay attention to everyone and will cater to individual needs (ie injuries). They are motivating and encouraging, but also incredibly understanding. It is a very tough class, but is set up in a way that will accommodate most levels of fitness. Classes are always different which makes them fly by. In my experiences there have been a lot of pushups, squats, lunges, and tons and tons of fabulous core work. Within 3 weeks you WILL see your strength greatly improve. I was actually amazed to see how many more pushups I could do from the start of the session compared to the end. The 3 week sessions of an hour and a half 2x a week (plus a free class on Sundays during the summer sessions) sets Bootcamp Republic apart from most other hour-long bootcamps in the city. The immense choice of locations, times, and days of the week that sessions are held is also unparalleled. It makes it super easy to find a session that fits into your schedule.

Fantastic experience: I just completed my 3rd three-week session on the Christopher Street Pier and I love it. Joe is a great instructor, and I've seen visible results. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: I just finished my 3rd Bootcamp Republic fitness session and could not be happier. After my first class I was so sore and I couldn't wait to go back. Gary is great instructor, he keeps every one motivated and makes each class challenging and fun.

Fantastic experience: Love Bootcamp Republic! Have taken several sessions and every instructor I've had is great. Class sizes are small so you get personal attention and every class is different. Also, management is responsive and flexible with make-up classes.

Fantastic experience: I've taken sessions at three different locations and really enjoyed all of them. The instructors have all been friendly, understanding and challenging. Also, the bootcamp republic administration team has always been incredibly flexible, timely and helpful. Thanks, Bootcamp Republic!!

Fantastic experience: I'm super lazy... but through Bootcamp Republic I got the tools I needed to jump start my personal fitness goals and get back into the gym. While the term "bootcamp" invokes an authoritative trainer screaming "drop and gimme five" or "is THAT ALL you've got??" this is definitely a more encouraging experience. I was nervous about my chances at surviving my first class of the first cycle since I was way off the charts in terms of fitness. In fact, I usually finished my running challenges later than everyone else but I absolutely appreciated my trainer Gary's calm energy and humor as he motivated and reassured me that I could do it. The classes sizes were small, so I could never hide in the throng and "cheat myself" and the other ladies were also very encouraging when I had that look on my face that said "I just can't". But that was a long time ago... Now, thanks to Gary & Bootcamp Republic, my stamina and my motivation to work out on my own at home/gym have been re-instated! I still register for a Bootcamp session every few months to reinforce and challenge myself.

Fantastic experience: I joined Bootcamp Republic last year and love it. I go to the Chelsea location and feel that it's one of the best workouts for me because it's challenging, yet motivating and fun. And of course Gary rocks!

Fantastic experience: I been attending Bootcamp Republic classes for two summers now. I've only been doing the 6 am classes on the UWS and Brooklyn Heights, and have to say that there is no better feeling than leaving class feeling energized and strong as I start my days. The instructors are attentive, ensure that you perform the exercises properly and will adjust the class to your level, providing options to either intensify or relax your workouts. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: For the past three summers I have been Bootcamping it with Nicole in Prospect Park and I couldn’t be happier. I love bootcamping outdoors—no grey walls, stuffy air or frightening mirror encounters—instead I get to run in the sun and do sit-ups under a beautiful magnolia tree backed by rolling clouds. Even the bugs aren’t that bad when you’ve got great comrades working out with you and bug spray to share. I’ve met the most wonderful, open, and supportive bootcampers! We get to bond and grow under the guidance of a wonderful instructor. Nicole for her part always keeps me challenged and finds new ways to keep me literally on my toes--and thanks to all the hard work I have become stronger, healthier, and much happier.

Fantastic experience: The Bootcamp Republic experience has been life changing. In basically one three-week session, I started to see the difference in my fitness level, both cardio and strength. I have have kept it up with the encouragement and support of the BR team, and I feel better than I have in the past 5 years. The trainers (John, Joe, Annette) that I have worked with are excellent. They know their stuff, know how to motivate, tailor exercises to each person's needs, push you to the next level and, most of all, are engaged in your success. The hour and half sessions are just long enough to put in that extra effort that can help make a difference between an OK workout and great one. I can't think of any better way to start the day than to pump up your heart rate and fitness level than through Bootcamp Republic. Also, BR is well organized and managed and the admin team is quite responsive and accommodating. It is well worth giving a try.

Positive experience: Overall very good.

Fantastic experience: I am about to sign up for my 4th session with Bootcamp Republic. I've seen incredible changes since I started & it keeps me motivated to exercise between classes. Krystal is a fantastic teacher, she pushes you while being extremely encouraging and motivating.

Fantastic experience: So energizing! I've attended three three-week sessions of bootcamp in Central Park. Bootcamp Republic is my favorite way to start the day - I love that I feel stronger and more in shape with each session. Spending the morning outside in Central Park is beautiful, and the Bootcamp Republic instructors put together a challenging routine of cardio and strength exercises that makes the class fun and engaging. The 90 minute session goes by quickly and the instructors are attentive and encouraging. Last weekend I was hiking in Colorado, and despite the challenging terrain and change in altitude, my training at bootcamp allowed me to enjoy the scenic wilderness because I was fit enough to tackle the mountain!

Fantastic experience: I've been doing Bootcamp Republic for a year solid now and LOVE IT! It's the best workout and 100% NO JUDGEMENTS! I find all the teachers to be patient and helpful. The people in my class have become like family and we are all so supportive of each others goals. I've become stronger and have lost over 30 lbs. with the help of Jaimie Kelton, Sarah Ann Corkum and everyone at Bootcamp Republic!!

Fantastic experience: Perfect

Fantastic experience: I never thought I would like boot camp. However, it has been a great experience. I am now starting my 4th round and seeing great results. My instructor Krystal is the best. She is a great teacher and continues to push me so that I can see results. I recommend it highly!! I can't wait to start next class.

Fantastic experience: Bootcamp Republic is amazing! I have participated in multiple bootcamp programs and Bootcamp Republic is by far the best. From all of the locations and times to choose from to the responsiveness and flexibility of the management, Bootcamp Republic stands out from the very start. The classes are small and the instructors very knowledgeable. Each class is a challenge and the staff work with you to make sure you are achieving your goals. I am looking forward to my next session already.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out with Bootcamp Republic for the last few months and love it! The instructors are incredibly motivating and keep the workouts interesting from week to week. There are also a lot of different locations to choose from, as well as the option to supplement with a Sunday workout. Bootcamp has been the most effective workout I’ve ever done.

Fantastic experience: Bootcamp Republic is great! The work-outs are challenging yet fun. The atmosphere and group dynamic is really wonderful. You feel as though everyone is there to support one in another in their work-outs rather than in competition with each other! It's an awesome work-out.

Fantastic experience: I’ve completed three sessions of Bootcamp. I feel and look great. It’s such a positive energy and I would highly recommend to anyone looking to change their exercise routine and generally feel better. Thanks to the Bootcamp Republic team! Looking forward to keeping in up through the fall. Jill Paterson
