I started Desert Foothills Boot Camp in April 2007 thanks to my husband and business partner. My husband Jake was operating a boot camp in Tempe, AZ in 2006 that was 90%men 10% women. The first time I attended his camp I knew in my heart women would want this! I joined his boot camp in 2006 after the birth of my 4th and final child. I had gained 50 pounds during my pregnancy and my goal was to participate in the Camp Pendleton Mud Run that fall. I worked hard in camp and the men would not let me give up, but it was a different atmosphere, it was work, not fun, and I knew I could make camp fun and still get the job done. By the time I attended the Mud Run I had lost the 50 pounds and toned up. I met several teams of ladies all ages that participated in boot camps in California and I knew I had to go home and start my own. I started in Tempe with the girls from my class and since that time we have grown to service several corporate clients as well.
In the spring of 2007 I opened Desert Foothills Boot Camp in Club West Ahwatukee. I choose Ahwatukee because it is my home town, we have resided in Ahwatukee since 2003. My children ages 20, 17, 6 and 3 attend Ahwatukee schools. I participate in several school, sport and church organizations to support my children and I love my community.
I am no different than most women our age. I have wrist, knee, and ankle issues. I have battled thyroid issues, emotional eating and portion control. I am not the model on the front cover of a DIET book. Heck I don't even BELIEVE in diets! I am a real woman with a passion to help and encourage others to SUCCEED!
I want YOU to succeed! I believe ALL WOMENneed to put themselves 1st (YES I SAID FIRST) as the airline attendant states, "Put your mask on first, and then help those in need around you SECOND." When I started putting Rebecca 1st, my husband/children 2nd, and my career/life choices 3rd, EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING (happiness, wellness, PHYSICAL FITNESS, etc) all fell into place and for the first time in my life I SPARKLED!!!
