Why would anyone consider a boot camp like atmosphere the way to achieve lasting improvements in health and beauty? The reason why soldiers go through boot camp is to get them used to not having their own minds. To become conditioned to taking orders. Do you really think that if you put all of your trust in some "trainer" that you're going to be able to keep yourself healthy for years to come? If he's responsible for your motivation. If he's the one who pushes your the extra mile. If he's the one who decides when and if you've reached your goals?

That's stupid. Anyone who's selling these "fitness boot camps" is just trying to take advantage of people's insecurities, pretentions, and short-lived fantasies in order to make a quick buck.

A real trainer doesn't just train you. he TEACHES you so that eventually you won't need him.
