Yun feels that fitness boot camps are the ultimate answer for fitness enthusiasts feeling the effects of the economic crisis currently facing Americans. He states: “People are really struggling right now. In hard financial times, people simply lack the disposable income to afford services perceived as luxury items. Though we feel fitness and nutrition are necessity items, most people still do not, and the bottom line is that it tends to be the first thing that gets cut when people are short on funds.” Yun Fitness Boot Camps are thriving in spite of a struggling economy due to its mission of offering large group workouts lasting only 45 minutes in length for less than $15 per workout. This offers a significantly more affordable alternative for busy people than traditional one-on-one personal training rates that start at $45 per one-hour session.
Yun Fitness Boot Camps already has some ravings fans, none more vocal than a local Columbus professional, mother, and wife Katie Cox, who started with the bootcamp in July: “I feel so much stronger, not just physically, but mentally too. Thank you for motivating me, making me stronger, and just making me better. I feel great all over. I am always looking forward to class because there is so much variety and I never get bored. I love to wake up the next day and have the good sore feeling in my muscles. I then realize that my body is transforming to get lean.”
Yun Fitness Boot Camps features the music training system that pushes the campers’ intensity to the max. In January of 2008, Workout Muse was introduced and has become an overnight sensation. Workout Muse consists of custom audio interval training soundtracks specifically for boot camps to effectively automate the workouts to sound and music. The rhythm and musicality serve to drive and intensify the workouts. Furthermore, it has served to allow Yun to bring the personal attention of one-on-personal training to his large group workouts. He says: “Interval training is scientifically proven to burn up to nine times more fat than ordinary exercise. For this reason our entire training system is based on timed sets with alternating work and recovery periods. As our boot camps grew in numbers I found it progressively more difficult to give all of my clients the attention they deserved because I was constantly looking at the clock. The music training system now tells our clients when to start, stop, and even provides countdowns and updates to keep them focused on the task at hand. More importantly, it frees me up from being a human stopwatch so I can coach, supervise, correct campers’ form, and motivate the heck out of our clients. The results speak for themselves!”
