What You'll Get
Boot camps are a quick way to get in shape for upcoming marathons or adrenaline-pumping prison escapes. Jump the fence with today's Groupon: for $39, you get four weeks of unlimited boot-camp sessions (a $120 value) at Fly Dog Fitness. Sessions start at the beginning of every month, with more than seven offered each week; call ahead to find out where boot camp will be held.
At Fly Dog Fitness, the enemy is predictability. Each day, your instructors will throw down a fresh guerrilla ambush worth of challenges for your muscles and your brain, fueling constant gains and keeping you engaged. Over the course of each session, boot campers of all fitness levels will run, jump, lift weights, slam out push-ups and chin-ups, chase chickens, punch slabs of beef, and end with a live crocodile wrestle. Fly Dog frequently injects its regimen with new exercises and other surprises, so don't expect to ever get bored. Working out with others motivates you to push yourself harder, helps you stick to a routine, and gives you the opportunity to bond with new friends over tales of general sweatiness and mutual plans to beat up the ocean. The group sessions at Fly Dog often produce visible results—toning muscle, improving balance, and boosting metabolism.
Head trainer Laurie Henderson is an ACSM-certified personal trainer with eight years of experience training both athletes and regular folks just trying to lose weight. Along with constant encouragement, she and her positive-minded team will give you the nutritional support you need to stay fit, including shopping lists and recipes to ensure that your hard work isn't undone by the siren song of Pop-Tarts' new Hot Pockets flavor. Throughout the boot-camp process, Fly Dog will track your progress with free fitness assessments. Take a tip from the X-Men and reap the benefits of group training with today's Groupon to Fly Dog Fitness.

About Fly Dog Fitness
Even before she became a certified trainer, Laurie Henderson led and inspired her fellow athletes as the captain of the women's Central Michigan basketball team. She then carried her passion for guiding others through a master's of exercise science from Kent State University, and today she continues her mission at Fly Dog Fitness.
Laurie's boot camps know no limits, taking place outdoors, in the water, and on dry land. She uses standard exercise equipment and park benches, yoga mats and soft grass. She gets her students to work up a sweat whether it's sunny or dark—even in inclement weather.
