North Jersey Bridal Bootcamp/Personal Trainer

Good morning brides

Can anyone recommend a bootcamp or trainer?  I need to get in shape for October and have trouble doing it on my own.  I need someone to hold me accountable (or have to pay which means I'll be holding myself accountable for the money!).  Let me know of anything that worked for you!

Thanks, D

I usually workout at home, but I do belong to a gym.  What part of NJ are you located?  I have a personal trainer at the gym I belong to and love it.  My husband and I do it together, like a partner workout.

CKO is a great kickboxing gym...its a franchise but you can find them everywhere.  I belong to one and have been trying to go 2 times a week and trust me it is one heck of a workout

@dinamarienj - I live in CT but have been going to Orange Theory Fitness since they opened in October. It is AWESOME! I know they have many NJ locations and are opening more all the time. Highly recommended!

The gym I go to is in Bayonne, in Hudson County.  I love my personal trainer.  I would try a gym that offers personal trainers.  But I will say this, I belonged to a Retro Fitness and I was not happy with my trainer.  I felt like the workout I was given was standard that he did with all of his clients, so make sure that whoever you work with tailors the program for you.

I agree with @Jeannine12.. CKO IS THE BEST WORK OUT!! I used to belong to the CKO in Brooklyn/Bayridge where I grew up.  I will be joining the new CKO-Springfield on Route 22...  Your first class is FREE... Try them out. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Let us know what you decide!!  I'm sure we could all use a workout buddy... LOL

I'm not sure how hardcore you're looking to go but a few girlfriends of mine started crossfit and it may as well be bootcamp. It's a butt kicker, but they have had really amazing results within a few weeks. I've never tried it.

Iron plate studios in Hoboken and Jersey City. Owned by a women with mostly female personal trainers. They do a specific bridal package deal, I've heard they are very reasonably priced for that area

Thanks all!

@jeannine12 and @danielle60314 - how much is CKO?  There is one right near me?  If you don't want to post, can you PM me a ballpark price?  Thanks!

@pce515 - is Fit Republic a bit like crossfit?  I couldn't really tell from the site - not too much info.  How does it work - classes?

@dinamarienj - Its not like crossfit at all, its group classes, so basically you go in and theres a workout written for you and theres trainers around to show you them, etc. Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays are built days, which is like weight training, and Tuesday, Thursday and Weekends are burn days, which is high speed cardio. I love it!

@dmnj CKO is about $70 a month but you can go as many times as you like.  A great 60 minute workout.

Thanks all!  I found a Groupon to try out CKO for two weeks to see how I like it!
