Beginner Bootcamps in Nanaimo, BC

"I entered Obstackles very skeptical; I never believed I would be capable of pushing myself physically or achieving physical feats. I truly believed I would continue to live my life accomplishing many things but never being able to trust my body. Having low self esteem from bullying, a poor relationship with food, disordered eating and some family impact I didn't think I could rid myself of the negative and hurtful self-talk that kept me feeling trapped in a negative image of myself. I can honestly say that all this has changed.

The comraderie, bonding and working through the principles has helped me completely change how I feel about myself. Now I actually like what I see in the mirror, can workout and push my body, have a desire to be healthy and am finally feeling contentment within myself. I feel I can trust my gut and I can trust myself. I have tremendous gratitude for what I have been able to walk through and cannot believe the gifts that come with learning to love yourself!"

But be careful we are NOT your average bootcamp. We are NOT another quick fix, lose a bunch of weight and 2 months later gain it all back plus a little more so you have to keep coming back type of program. Instead of focusing on weightloss, striving for the perfect body and trying to live up to society's unrealistic expectations on us, we focus on health and happiness.

We're building a community of non dieters who focus on the positive benefits of the physical challenge of running adventure races and have a tonne of fun doing it. We form a strong team of women who keep you going when you think you want to quit. We eat what we want, when we want and are healthy and fit because of it.
