Questions and Answers
Is this only going to be for new boot-campers?
Meg,
Yes this is going to be for new bootcampers, but current or past bootcampers can buy them for their friends.
I have a challenge for everyone! If by the end of the day we sell 300 GROUPONS I have two special bonuses I am going to send everyone who purchase:
1. “108 things to do this year to get in the best shape of your life.”
2. 50 quick healthy snacks
So tell all your friends and lets get to 300.
I have been going to a bootcamp class at the YMCA in La Crosse for a while and I will be moving to Madison in the fall. I was talking with a couple who goes to the class I go to in La Crosse about my concerns in regards to finding a group exercise program that I like as much as the one I am in now. They told me all about Dustin and the great fitness program he runs. I immediately looked into it and I can say I am so excited that Dustin believes in Groupon! I can’t wait to start this bootcamp!
I broke my wrist a few months ago and have lost some range of motion (e.g. won’t bend back far enough to do a push-up). Will I be able to adapt the exercises?
BB,
Yes you can definitely modify! For pushups you can put your hands on dbs, or make a fist and keep the wrist neutral.
Dustin
What time do these classes take place? And how many times a week would you recommend doing them?
If I’m doing the 21 day challenge now can I use this Groupon?
Is the class year round or only available during certain months?
If I purchase the Groupon deal, will I automatically be enrolled in the month-to-month boot camp, or will I have the option to opt-out after the 1-month unlimited deal?
Hi Dustin, Can I purchase more than one to use for myself? And, do you have to start or finish the month by the expiration date?
I’m also curious if I can use this Groupon if I’m doing the 21 day challenge right now? fingers crossed
Thanks!
@Jackie H – Here’s the schedule of classes http://madisonbootcamps.com/?page_id=84
I’m new to the southern WI area and I live in Milwaukee (and yes, I’m registered for multiple Groupons…you never know what will come up!)…any plans to bring your classes closer to the lake? :)
Thanks for the schedule Jen H. :)
If I did a 1 week trial, can I still do this since I never purchased a month or plan?
Jackie,
There are 10 different locations that meet at different times. Most are in the morning but we offer one in the evening as well. Here is the link to check out all the times as Jen mentioned. http://madisonbootcamps.com/?page_id=84 As a general rule of thumb, we recommend working out every other day (3-4X per week).
Heather and Jen,
We take it that you are enjoying the 3 weeks of bootcamp? :) Unfortunately this offer is only for new customers. But check your email as you should have received a special offer from Dustin this morning for those doing the 21-day bootcamp.
Elizabeth,
The classes are offered year round. Once the weather gets too cold we move to indoor locations for the winter months.
Annie,
You definitely have the option of opting out at the end of your one month unlimited Groupon deal.
Kristi,
No, you can only use one for yourself but feel free to purchase multiples to bring some friends with you. But it’s no problem to just start the one month by the expiration date.
Look forward to hopefully having you all at Bootcamp!

Can I join the classes already in progress?
Are the free Saturday classes open to the general public, or do you have to be participating in boot camp already?
Beth,
The classes are ongoing, so you can start whenever. The Saturday classes are free for bootcampers and $10 drop in for non bootcampers.
Dustin
I have a friend who is interested but she has been to your mama tone classes (never to bootcamp). would she qualify?
Terri,
Unfortunately, mamatone and bootcamps are considered the same.
Dustin
Does the month have to be a calendar month or can it be a consecutive 4-week period?
I have done 6 months of Bootcamp and highly recommend it. I have lost 16 pounds and 13 inches. I can’t say enough about Dustin, his workouts and the community of support and encouragement that exist at Bootcamp. Don’t pass up this amazing deal!
Brian,
4 consecutive weeks.
Dustin
Alicia,
Sorry as we do not have a plan to expand to the Milwaukee area but we encourage you to get plugged in somewhere that you enjoy and find someone who will support you in your fitness endeavors.
Renee,
Yep, feel free to take advantage of the Groupon deal.
Brian,
No, you do not have to start on the first of the month. The coupon is good for one month from the first bootcamp you attend.
Thanks everyone!

I just started bootcamp and absolutely love it! It’s very motivating and all the instructors that I’ve had have been excellent. Whether you want to lose weight or get toned it is the best workout ever!!
I’ve been a part of Dustin’s bootcamps for the past 2 weeks. I was very concerned that I wouldn’t be able to keep up with everyone because I am a bigger girl. The beauty of the bootcamps is that you work out to YOUR potential. You don’t know what you can do until you really push yourself.
I’ve been enjoying my experience so much so far. I would encourage ANYONE who is on the fence to just give it a try. For $40 it’s a steal. It will help you physically, mentally and emotionally.
Plus, I’ve lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks!
Emily
I just wanted to let everyone out there who is thinking about joining bootcamp that it is the best decision I have made. I have been participating in Dustin’s bootcamp for 15 months and I am addicted. I even expanded from my 3 morning a week to 5 mornings a week! It is a great program for any fitness level, age, etc. You feel so much better about yourself and starting your day with a workout makes the day so much better :)
Thanks, Dustin, for this amazing deal! Can’t wait to get going! I’ve had the DVDs and love them. It’s so encouraging to see the transformations, body and mind, of the moms on the DVDs. I truly feel so fortunate that you’re right in our backyard here in Madison. $$ has kept me from attending the bootcamps in the past, but not today! Don’t miss this opportunity, people!
I love Dustin’s boot camps! I’ve lost 36 lbs! My size 14 pants are now falling off!!
$40 is a great deal! Just give a try… I know you’ll love it!
I have been attending Dustin’s bootcamp for the past 4 weeks. I’m not particularly athletic so I was definitely nervous about joining. Dustin and the other instructors have been extremely supportive. The group really includes people of all fitness levels and abilities. I’m definitely feeling the difference in how my clothes fit and my energy level. I highly recommend this program!
Thanks for the Groupon, Dustin. I’ve hesitated signing up only because of the price. This definitely makes it a “must try.”
I joined Dutsin’s Fit Fun Bootcamp on 2/17/10 after seeing him for the 3rd time on NBC 15. I was tired of the gym routine-elliptical, treadmill, weights, etc. Dustin returned my email with a phone call within 2 hours and we had a great conversation about my goals.
I have to admit, I didn’t sleep the night before my first bootcamp because I had no idea what to expect-what would the workout be like? Would I survive it? Would I feel frustrated with how out of shape I was? What would the people be like? I walked into Supreme (one of the winter indoor locations) and was greeted by at least 7 smiling faces all waiting for the 6:15am class-they introduced themselves and practically high-fived me for just showing up. The first class was tough-I won’t lie, but then again-I was horribly out of shape. Everyone helped me through the first class-with encouragement and showing me alternate versions of each exercise (beginner-intermediate-advanced, etc).
It took 6 weeks to see results, but gradually my body started changing and the weight came off. Since 2/17/10, I’ve lost 15 lbs and completely changed my eating habits. It has been an experience that has changed my life mentally, emotionally and physically. I have met 2 phenomenal groups of people (McFarland and Elver 6:15am groups). The women I see 4-5 times/week have become FRIENDS as well as a support system-if I miss a day, I get emails asking where I was? Do I need a ride tomorrow? Am I ok? Fit Fun Bootcamps offer a built-in support group that I did not find at a typical gym.
Lastly, the trainers are second to none and the workouts are constantly changing….so no boredom! Don’t show up with less than 15 lb weights-they’ll be tossed to the side. And you’ll quickly learn that what you thought you couldn’t do (run Elver hill, for example) you can do because you’re in the right environment.
I just simply can’t say enough about Dustin, his team and the other members. You have nothing to lose – so please join us :)
This is my second week of Fit Fun Bootcamp and I love it. I didn’t think I could do this due to my weight, but the strength training and exercises are very do-able. I’m so glad I took the plunge and signed up!
I would definately recommend bootcamps. I have been going for almost 1 1/2 years and started out 3 days a week and now go 5 days a week. Bootcamp keeps me accountable and motivated to stay on the right track. Since bootcamps I have went down 3 sizes and have met many great people and love the group atmosphere. The trainers are great and give you that personal training without the cost. Also which this is the first program I have found to do this but the workouts do not get boring.. everyday will be something different. I can say with confidence you WONT be disapppionted.
I have not done Dustin’s outdoor/indoor bootcamps (due to my personal schedule) but have done his fitmomsforlife DVDs (same as bootcamp) and have had results.
I highly recommend you take advantage of this offer if you have the opportunity. It is a GREAT deal and so many individuals have had awesome results.
Don’t pass up this deal ……..
If I lived in Madison, I would TOTALLY buy this Groupon! I “know” Dustin through his FitMomsfoLife DVDs and enjoy reading his daily emails. He has encouraged and challenged me from afar! I’m really bummed I can’t attend his bootcamps. You’ll definitely want to take advantage of this deal!
Do not miss this great opportunity!!
I attended Dustin’s bootcamp for a couple months this winter. I LOVED it and lost a few inches. It was FUN to workout and there was such a great support system of women. Keeps you motivated big time. This is a great deal not to be passed up…you cannot beat getting your workout out of the way first thing early in the morning either and there are so many locations. I attended McFarland and Oregon bootcamps. After a great a.m. workout, you feel energized and strong for anything that your day brings you!!! Have fun..you will love it and be surprised what you are capable of!!
This is my second week of bootcamp as part of the 21-day program that was offered earlier this month, and I have already signed up to continue for another 6 months!! I’m one of the older members of the group, but age / ability / weight doesn’t matter - you participate at the level you are comfortable with, and there’s encouragement every step of the way!!
Take this opportunity to invest in yourself!! Dustin and his staff will make sure you stay motivated and you WILL see results. The multiple locations / times around the area make it extra convenient!
I had a baby 10 months ago and wanted to get back into a regular strength and fitness routine. I had virtually no core or upper body muscle left after having my baby! After 8 weeks of Dustin’s Boot Camp, I have seen a big difference. I’m a lot more toned and my pre-baby clothes are now a little big on me. I’ve recommended Boot Camp to A LOT of my friends and would highly encourage people to try it.
Although I have not attended Boot Camp (I do not live in Madison), I have participated in Dustin’s other programs including his DVD’s and coaching programs and I have had great results. Dustin is always accessable for questions, concerns or simply just to motivate you.
How do we redeem the Groupon? We still have to sign up/register using the website right?
I have been doing Dustin’s Bootcamp since Feb’09 and I can’t say enough about it! Since I started I have seen so many changes in myself. I never thought I would be as strong as I am now nor did I think I could do many of the exercises that I can do now. I can see definition in my legs and arms that I haven’t seen in years. I am a more positive person and have so much more energy than I did before.
All the trainers are fabulous and are so willing to help you make it to your goal. I know I wouldn’t be where I am today if it was for Dustin and his bootcamps! Thank you Dustin and Team you have changed my life forever!!!
This is me second week of bootcamp as well and I’m also signing up to continue.
Dustin and the rest of the trainers are amazing. Everyone is so supportive and even thought you’re working so hard – it really is a lot of FUN!
A very positive environment for people of any shape, size and athletic (or non-athletic) ability.
You won’t be dissapointed. Take advantage of this deal – we’ll all be there on your first day to welcome you!
I have really enjoyed bootcamps and the friends I have made… I am not a morning person, but look forward to attending each week :)
This, along with a proper diet, is a great way to loose those inches – I started boot camp in april and as of July 4th had lost about 25 pounds and dropped 2 pant sizes.
This is a GREAT deal – come see if you too become adicited!
Don’t hesitate to sign up!! Bootcamp is the only way to get in the shape you’ve always wanted! I thought I could do it on my own with my own little plan and will power, but I always ended up starting over on Monday and feeling lethargic and depressed! I joined Dustin’s bootcamp in January and never looked back. I’ve lost 25 pounds and 14 inches! Dustin’s programs get results!!
If you are at all curious about bootcamp sign up! This is an incredible deal you don’t want to miss! My husband and I have been doing bootcamp for almost 2 weeks and really enjoy it!
Anne and Jason Pond
Thanks everyone for your kind words. It is humbling to me. Big thank you to all my trainers who do an amazing job training. Also thanks to all my current clients for showing up each day and adding value to the workouts. Thanks for busting your butt everyday with a grit of determination. Thanks for welcoming new people, having you yourself remembered what it was like the first few times.
I look forward to getting to meet all the new people coming on the next couple months.
Dustin
Ashley,
You should receive a link url on your groupon. It will take you to a page to sign up. Details will then follow via an email.
Thanks,
Dustin
My sister-in-law, her sister and I all use Dustin’s programs (either his Fit mom’s for life DVD’s or bootcamps) – her sister has lost over 50 lbs already) both are awesome but everyone agrees there is nothing quite like having Dustin there with you in person to give you that extra motivation to really push you to your limits. This is an awesome deal – we just wish it was for current bootcampers too!
New Challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If we get 500 to sign up I will video tape me shaving my head. For some that might not seem like a big deal, but I have never gotten close to doing it, AND I have a really ugly wrinkly scalp!
Plus I will give you 3 online videos of my shopping cart foods.
Dustin
Once you sign up be sure to visit the secret link for all the details. URL is on GROUPON. That is where you will get your bonuses too.

I started Dustin’s Bootcamp almost 2 months ago. I absolutely love it and I find myself looking forward to my Bootcamp days. I can honestly say that Dustin’s program is worth every penny.
I’ve been a health club member/group exercise participant for 15 plus years so I’ve encountered many exercise professionals. Let’s face it. Many people in the exercise profession like the mirrors in the gym so they can admire themselves. Some instructors are there so THEY get a workout and aren’t necessarily concerned with your workout and well being.
Dustin’s team is the exact opposite. Their motivation and concern are genuine. They are truly there to help you achieve your goals, whatever they may be. Join and you won’t be disappointed. Thanks Dustin!
Dustin-along with your great exercise and eating tips you share all the time, you should pass along your secret for remembering everyone’s names. It’s amazing! How do you do it?
I’ve been going to Dustin’s bootcamps since 2008 and have lost almost 30lbs. I wouldn’t trade my time at bootcamp for anything! I love every minute of it and it’s given me so much in terms of better health and fitness, healthier mindset, and the tools I need to be successful to reach my goals.
I’ve recently made significant positive changes to my diet to help me reach my ultimate weight loss goal. Dustin and his staff are so committed and willing to help you achieve the success you are after. I am sure I would not be where I am today without Dustin, his staff, and his bootcamps.
Sign up, you will never look back!

This is a really good deal. I have only been going to bootcamp for a couple of weeks, but I am totally drinking the kool aid! It is really hard, really fun, and never boring. I never thought I would be able to get up at 5am for a workout, but I find I don’t want to miss it! It is worth so much more than $40, and definitely worth a try.
I started Dustin’s fitness Bootcamp exactly 2 summers ago. It has improved my health in many ways. My cholesterol was getting to a point where my doctor wanted to put me on medication. The physical exercises and the nutrition tips I have gained from the program have lowered my cholesterol to a normal range. During my last physical exam, the nurse measured my height at a 1/2 inch taller than my old height. The only way my doctor could explain this was that I have corrected my posture with my fitness program. Though I still have extra pounds to shed, I have lost enough weight to go down 3 clothes sizes. Now I can wear belts again because I have lost several inches around my waiste. And people who used to think I was pregnant now ask me what I did to have a flat tummy again. Because my arms are also toned now, I can wear sleeveless tops and dresses again. Dustin is probably tired of me thanking him for helping me regain a healthy body 13 years after the birth of my youngest child (I am a mother of 3). Besides these transformations, I have made new friends with whom I have a lot in common. This program has been priceless for me and my family, and one of the best decisions I have made in my life.
I’ve been doing Dustin’s Mamma-tone classes and the Bootcamp for more than a month and I am already addicted to it. Dustin is great and so are all his instructors. The exercise routine is challenging and leaves me feeling sore in a good way :) I strongly recommend the bootcamp if you haven’t tried it before.
Hi Dustin,
I know a bunch of ladies in your Mommy Tone class.
My question is I have an injured right knee and am not allowed to do any impact exercise. Could I still do your boot camp?
Thanks
Michelle
My wife and I have been attending boot camp since the beginning of summer. It has been a challenging and fun way for us to keep in shape. Dustin is a very enthusiastic and motivational leader. We have both seen progress in our strength and endurance. The group setting has also been so inspirational as there are members of all abilities and everyone is so encouraging. Joining boot camp has been one of the best health decisions we have made.
Roger and Sharon
To everyone in Madison, Dustin is the real deal. I have known him for a few years. I have a gym in Phoenix and we frequently share ideas with each other. If you have an opportunity try on of his boot camps , especially at this rate…. you gotta jump on it.
I started Dustin’s 21 day bootcamp and just love the workouts. I have lost 25 pounds and 3" from my waist. I never thought I could workout at 6:15 am, but it is exactly what I needed. You meet alot of nice people and they all are very motivating and supportive. I couldn’t have done it without the great trainers who keep pushing you – which is something I don’t do. Try it – commit to 21 days – you will be surprised.
“I live in MN. but really enjoy Dustin’s frequent e-newsletters, like 2-3 a week. They are full of extremely helpful information re exercising, nutrition, and lots of motivational stuff; and then the posts from readers are often inspiring and very helpful too-sometimes downright funny! Dustin is always very helpful with all my questions and answers all my emails and phone calls; and yes, like someone commented, he never forgets my name…..might have something to do with him calling me Mom! :) "
My mom tried posting this but she is already signed up for Minneapolis’s Groupon so was unable to.
Thanks everyone for all the continued comments and support! You are why we do what we do. Anyone still considering it, you’ve got a little over 4 hours for this great deal!
5 away from 300! You will get your 2 FREE bonuses.
1. “108 things to do this year to get in the best shape of your life.”
2. 50 quick healthy snacks
In order for you to get this, you must register using the URL from the groupon you received when you purchased. Most of you have not done this yet.
Thanks,
Dustin
205 Away from me having to shave my head!
I joined bootcamp in October and am definitely addicted. I can honestly say I look forward to getting up at 5am to go to class. All of the trainers are incredibly positive and supportive, characteristics that rub off on all the bootcampers. It is a great way to start the day!
Dustin:
This is my first groupon, so maybe I’m missing it, but I can’t find the link you referred to above.
Can’t wait to make it to my first bootcamp!
Sara,
I don’t actually have a copy of the groupon, but I was told in your group mail box there should be the details. People have been registering so it must be there somewhere.
Dustin
Okay, I’m feeling a little dumb here. Can anyone help me out with where the URL is to register that Dustin referred to a few comments ago?
Good Night Everyone! 9:45 pm and I have to get to bed to teach bootcamp in the morning. We look forward to seeing many of you start Monday. My support team will stay up and try to answer any last minute questions.
It looks like I will keep my hair unless everyone starts posting on facebook, craigslist, and emailing all their contacts. I shall see in the morning.
Dustin
Sara M., if you go to your groupons and try to print it, the printable PDF has the url. :)
Michelle,
Sorry we missed yours before. It’s hard to say without knowing exactly how limited you are. You could modify a lot of what goes on at bootcamp but if you are not able to do any impact, it would probably be tough. Most bootcamps involve some amount of running and jumping during which you could walk or do squats instead. We would recommend maybe more so than this Groupon deal would be to give the bootcamps a try for a week and see if it works.
Sara,
Hopefully what Rebecca said makes sense. The main thing is to click the “buy” button and purchase the groupon. Then it should either be on the printable PDF or in the email that will get sent to you. Email us if you continue to have questions.
Ok, we apologize if there are any last minute (or I guess more accurately, last hour :) questions as we are calling it a night. But it’s a good deal, so just go for it! Take the one step towards a healthier you and we’ll help you with the rest. Yeah, yeah… corny but true!
Goodnight all and we are sooo excited for the upcoming months with you!
Thanks,

wow, I got my groupon in the last two minutes that were left! Thank God that I made it home. I am sooooo excited to begin, I have seen Dustin on Nbc 15 and I always wanted to join and I cannot believe I will finally get the opportunity. Thanks for this groupon Dustin! You have made a ton of people happy today!
Hey Everyone, this is Dustin Maher of Fit Fun Bootcamps. Myself and my staff are committed to being on here as much as possible to answer your questions.
