Fit Body Boot Camp—Westlake Village
When my wife, Valerie, and I moved to Westlake Village four years ago from Chatsworth, we had to find all kinds of new things—like where to go for dinner, where to take our dry cleaning, what is the best frozen yogurt place and where to work out.
The latter has been an ongoing process and one we are pleased to present to you today. The gym where I previously worked out in Chatsworth does not have a local presence here, so frankly I floundered. I went to a cross fit gym for awhile but ultimately found, for me, the exercises were too hard on my body. Then I began walking daily for 2.5 miles or more. After a while, we began working out with a man who is in his 70s and runs triathlons. We saw positive change with his workout regimen, but scheduling became an issue.
Thankfully, Fit Body Boot Camp opened during this time and I made the jump this past July. What I love about Fit Body is that they offer high intensity classes that happen around our schedule. We either go to the 5:30 AM class or the 6:30 AM class most days. They also have later classes scheduled and we can also come in and use the gym on our own. Valerie and I just recently completed our 50th work out.
For me, I need the motivation of having other people around to spur me to keep going. Since signing up in July, I’ve lost 15 pounds, 2% of my body fat and now I’m working on building up muscle mass.
Owner, Anthony Parisi, personally coaches some of the sessions plus he has other trainers who keep us sweating and working hard for those intense 30 minutes. The session starts five minutes before the announced time with a warmup. Then when the 30-minute workout is completed, they will have us do a five-minute cool down for a total of 40 minutes.

Another thing I love about Fit Body Boot Camp is they are also giving back to the community. As an example, recently they had an hour-long training to benefit a young man with leukemia.
Additionally, on weekends, you may find the group hiking locally, working out at Zuma Beach or doing a 45-minute stretching class. They are always mixing it up to keep it interesting and our bodies continually growing.
Below is a promotion Anthony ran awhile back and he will make it available to our readers now. Call him at 818-699-6115 and tell him Rodney sent you.
