Operation Boot Camp - Decatur

I am not a morning person so I was nervous about joining a boot camp program that begins at 6am, but it turned out to be super fun and motivating! The supportive community and expert trainers make all the difference - they are super fun and energetic, supportive of wherever you are in your fitness/wellness journey, and genuinely care about your success. I left each boot camp feeling more energized and ready for the day! By the end of the 6-week session, I could feel a difference and was able to workout harder and longer. Highly recommend Operation Boot Camp!

The quality of instruction, variety of workouts, fun atmosphere, and results have kept me coming back.

This camp works great for me, getting my workout in early.
I have stayed with it for many years because of the supportive atmosphere. I am encouraged to listen to what my body needs each day, and push myself in a challenging and safe way. I am more in celebration of my body and enjoying moving it after joining boot camp. I love that there are different fun workouts each week, and all the friendly faces!

Operation Boot Camp at Decatur is a great supportive work out experience, geared towards the ability of each individual camper. JoJo and Jan lead a loyal group of instructors who put us through the paces three times a week in the most fun and varied mix of cardio and strength training exercises. I love the camaraderie and esprit de corps. The best group!!

I began as a camper over ten years ago and OBC has been an important element of my fitness plan and overall mental health ever since. If you want an accessible, fun, outdoor workout that will energize your day and your life, this is the place to start.

OBC offers welcoming friends, a fun and challenging workout, thoughtful and consistent stretching, an opportunity to be outdoors and get a bit dirty, and an inspiring start to my day!
Can’t imagine what I would do without this amazing bunch.
All I need to do is show up 😊

Operation Boot Camp is an amazing community filled with fitness and fun. The instructors are knowledgeable and supportive, always knowing how to encourage campers to the next level. The workouts are fantastic, varied, and always scalable. It's my favorite part of every day. It's amazing what can happen in 30 days!

I can't say enough great things about OBC Candler Park and Decatur. From my experience, you'll get fit really fast with a wide variety of exercises and activities. The first month is HARD! and then it gets really fun. You'll have a chance to compete against yourself to improve. It's a great overall workout and the instructors are super encouraging and engaged. I really appreciated that they worked with me to modify exercises to get through an injury. I had a schedule change so I can't make the morning workouts otherwise I would still be a camper. OBC is a grade-a organization and I highly recommend it.

I've been doing OBC for three years and it's become one of the absolute "must do" things in my life. Come meet an amazingly friendly, supportive group of people - we help each other and cheer each other on. I'm 20 lbs lighter and much more fit than I was 3 years ago. I've also completed 4 half-marathons because of these folks. But the real win is that I've met a group of amazing, positive, funny people who I really enjoy. It's a community as much as it is a workout group.

I am very glad I decided to join the Operation Boot Camp family. Besides getting me in better shape and shedding 25 pounds, the people there are super friendly, which motivates you even more than the results.

OBC has been a great experience; I had no idea it would have so many benefits carry over to the rest of the day. I've never done a 'group fitness class,' nor have I ever wanted to; a friend dared some guys on our street to sign up with him a few years ago and I've stuck with it. The workouts are hard if you are overweight and out of shape and they're hard if you are fit and fast; that's been the best surprise: everyone gets their own personal workout in - it doesn't matter the fitness level or age. The atmosphere isn't a clique-y, hormone-soaked weird vanity thing. It's low key & low pressure, and I've watched some people transform themselves into super athletes and others just get themselves in shape for the first time in their lives. The workouts have a lot of functional movement stuff, stretching, agility exercises - very helpful stuff you just don't get as a runner or solo 'exerciser' and it's had carry over benefits to everything else.

n the past I have never considered myself a 'group' person. Workout or otherwise. My OBC experience definitely shifted that for me. The bottom line is that there is no better way to get in shape fast - and to have fun while you're doing it. Yes, it is early - but it is an incredible feeling to have your workout finished by 7am. A bonus is that you will meet people who will impact you for the long-term - and you get to see your friends before work every day! How cool is that??

I've tried many group exercise programs since I know that I am more consistent and fit when working out with others. This OBC program had me hooked on day 1, not just because the work out was great, but the people! I fell in love with them immediately. I read a quote recently that sums it up best:
"The people we surround ourselves with either raise or lower standards. They either help us to become... the best versions of ourselves or encourage lesser versions of ourselves. We become like our friends... We all need people in our lives who raise our standards, remind us of our essential purpose, and challenge us to become the best versions of ourselves."
Incredible people, fun and shenanigans, professional and tough workouts, that's what you will find at OBC.

This camp changed my life. You may go to a boot camp thinking about losing weight or getting fit. If you go to this one you will not only get fit, you will wall away with lifelong friends and people who sincerely care about you. It is one of the best environments I have ever been in and am lucky enough to be apart of. No matter what your fitness level is you will get a lot out of it. People you just meet going will cheer you on and everyone will be in your corner. I wouldn't just suggest this for friends, i would suggest it to my family members and people i care about the most!

Operation Boot Camp is absolutely the best at what they do! They will motivate and encourage you to the next level. If you're just starting out, be prepared to be surprised by your own capabilities; if you're a boot camp veteran, get ready for an incredible work out. Operation Boot Camp, you are the best.

Jojo and her crack team of trainers have an incredible fitness community! I use community intentionally because the group is so tight-knit and motivational. If you wanna feel the burn and feel the love this is the place!

The workouts are solid, the instructors are top notch and I really enjoy being a part of this!!

This is an amazing group of supportive people to get into shape with. They inspire using their own stories and strength to get you to your goals. You are allowed to be yourself and find your own best self, even if it is early in the morning.

Has been a huge deal-changer for me - supportive crew of instructors, fun group of participants, and I get a good, tough workout - all before work. Signing up was the best decision I've made!
