Experience a four-week program of fitness instruction, eating direction, sports nutrition education, goal setting, and motivational training led by T'ai Erasmus, and one of his qualified trainers. Each day, boot camp will be one hour in length, begin promptly at 5:30 AM, including holidays, and take place in Vancouver.
Q3: What is a typical
day at boot camp like?
Each day is intentionally different. Anticipate stretching, mat work, some running (approximately 1 mile), weight training, obstacle courses, tug-o-war, jumping rope and much more each week. On special days, we will go hiking and play sports-related games. Always an adventure, and you'll always have fun! T'ai also teaches proper form and "core stability".
Q4: When does the next camp start?
See our calendar.
Q5: What is the sign-up process?
Go to the register page on the web site and complete the forms, choose your method of payment, and bring the necessary receipts and/or confirmations with you to your initial evaluation/orientation. We also accept cheque or cash payment. The evaluation/orientation day will be scheduled for the Saturday before boot camp starts. You will be contacted by e-mail to arrange a time convenient for you. The evaluation is simple and takes only 15 to 20 minutes. The registration cut off date for each boot camp is a minimum of 3 days before the 1st day of camp. However, most camps sell-out weeks before the start date.
Your Pre Camp Evaluation/Orientation includes the following:
- Introduction to My Adventure Boot Camp.
- Your questions answered.
- Review of your medical history.
- Complete professional physical assessment.
- Results are strictly confidential, and are for your personal "post-camp" comparison only.
- Your official "My Adventure Boot Camp" T-Shirt.
- See you at boot camp — 5:30 am — Sharp!
Q6:What types of
exercises are included in my program?
Exercises include: crunches, short distance running (approximately 1 mile), hill lunges, calisthenics, jumping rope, hiking, stretching, mat work, stability ball and medicine ball training, soccer ball drills, obstacle courses, PAR course, push-ups, surprises, and more! We use the T'ai Erasmus comprehensive exercise and sports nutrition system. This is the system T'ai has developed from his years of experience. When you see, hear or read about T'ai in the media, he is discussing this method of total wellness.
Q7: What if I'm not very physically fit?
THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED FOR YOU TO MOVE AT YOUR OWN PACE. NOBODY, will be left behind. All can complete what they are capable of doing safely. Women of all ages and abilities are encouraged to participate. Each day, challenges will slightly increase in intensity. Awards and certificates are given to those who inspire others and improve the most!
Q8: Do I need to be experienced?
Although most boot campers have some history of exercise, it is not required. Both novice and veteran exercisers will find boot camp to be a fun and challenging workout experience.
Q9: Can you custom modify exercises for individuals?
Yes, we modify exercises if your back, neck, knees or shoulders are sore or previously injured.
Most people feel some soreness for the first 2-3 days. After that point, it is slight to moderate. It´s part of the process of improvement!
Q11: How soon will I see results?
Performance improvement can take place in as little as three days. “Visual Improvement” can take from two to four weeks depending on your effort level. It is common to see 2-5 pounds of weight loss after the first week. However, remember, everyone is unique!
Q12: What will I get out of it?
You will acquire a new body that will surely make you proud. In addition, you will also receive GIFTS including a sports nutrition seminar, Adventure Boot Camp T- shirt, and much, much more!
Q13: Why should I participate?
Your body was made to move! You will see a dramatic improvement in your physical and mental well being. You´ll meet great people who share your passion for acquiring a more healthy body, mind and spirit. You will be finished with your training before the rest of the world has even started!
Q14: How many people are in each boot camp?
The number usually varies between 15 — 50.
Q15: What kinds of people go to boot camp?
People just like you. Some who need a little push to jump-start their fitness and wellness program; others who are already working out; still others who want high-energy workouts.
Participants will meet every Monday through Friday, including holidays, for one hour during the four-week program. All participants are expected to arrive on time. Boot camp starts at 5:30 a.m. sharp!

These items can be purchased at any local Wal-Mart, Zellers, Fitness Depot or Guideline Fitness for less than $30 per item. You will be given details prior to the start of camp.

Q18: How long is my drive time?
At 5:30 in the morning the traffic is very light. Your drive time is greatly reduced no matter where you are driving from!
Q19: Are there shower facilities or a place I can get ready for work?
Yes: clean shower facilities are available. If you require access to shower facilities, temporary memberships are available to you through the VGH Wellness Centre at a very low fee to you. Please ask for details.
Q20: Is there a refund policy?
Boot Camp is a 4-week program from start to finish. Camps sell out. Partially unused sessions are nontransferable. If you are unable to attend camp due to circumstances beyond your control, we can offer you a refund, if you notify us prior to your session start date. However, we will charge a $50.00 cancellation fee. If we are notified after your session begins, we can only give you a credit towards the next boot camp immediately following the one you originally registered for. There is no cash refund. This is not negotiable.
Q21: What will I do after Camp is over?
You will get re-measured and tested to show your progress and success in the program. Most (up to 70%) boot campers return for a second and even a fifth camp. You can also enjoy extended programs such as personal training, consultations and custom sports nutrition meal plans with T'ai Erasmus or staff.
