I enjoy the bootcamp class format and friends of mine had just joined Amanda&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitchicks.ca\">Monday\/Wednesday bootcamp in the Annex<\/a>. I kept hearing how challenging and rewarding their workouts were, so after attending a class with <a title=\"FITNESS FRIDAY: \u201cI wanna be 65 &amp; still doing push ups!\u201d\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fitchicks.ca\/blog\/2012\/02\/fitness-friday-i-wanna-be-65-still-doing-push-ups\/\">Amanda<\/a> I was hooked. Fit Chicks was a perfect fit for me!<\/p>\n<h3>FC &#8211; How did FIT CHICKS help you in reaching your goals?<\/h3>\n<p>My instructor Amanda is fantastic. <a title=\"FITNESS FRIDAY: Getting real about getting results!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fitchicks.ca\/blog\/2012\/02\/fitness-friday-getting-real-about-getting-results\/\">She&#8217;s always motivating me to challenge myself<\/a> and reach my potential in the class setting. When I&#8217;m not attending bootcamp, there are lots of <strong>workout options that I can do in the comfort of my condo<\/strong>, including <a title=\"Find Your Inner High Intensity Hottie!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fitchicks.ca\/blog\/2011\/01\/find-your-inner-high-intensity-hottie\/\">the 20 minute workout video<\/a>, Amanda&#8217;s weekend challenges, as well as additional workouts on the Members Section of the website. <strong>The Fit Chicks blog, newsletter, and regular communications on healthy eating and living have transformed my eating habits<\/strong>. I look forward to trying new recipes and appreciate the tips and reminders that are sent to keep me on track over long weekends and the holidays.<\/p>\n<h3>FC &#8211; What is your fave FIT CHICKS workout? Which exercises do you love to hate?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>My favourite workouts are <a href=\"http:\/\/video.citytv.com\/video\/detail\/1386473929001.000000\/fit-chicks-workout\/\">tabatas<\/a> and skipping drills<\/strong>. I love to hate the &#8220;8 steps to Fabulousness&#8221; and Jane Fonda booty workouts (those are killer!).<\/p>\n<h3>FC &#8211; What have your results been like since joining bootcamp?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>My results have been incredible &#8211; both physically and mentally<\/strong>. Physically I am more toned and my strength and endurance have improved tremendously. I have lost 16 pounds and am happy, have more energy, and am less stressed. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitchicks.ca\/programs\">Bootcamp<\/a> is a great outlet for stress after a long day at the office:)<\/p>\n<h3>FC &#8211; What do you like about sweating up a storm with FIT CHICKS?<\/h3>\n<p>Fit Chicks is fun, challenging, and never boring. Every class is different. I love the bootcamp class setting and the support network during and in between classes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Audrey, we are so proud of you for committing to changing your health and becoming the fierce chick we knew you were<\/strong>\u2026it  is so inspiring to all chicks who are starting (or already started!)  living la vida FIT CHICK that they can do it too!
