Q: Will I be the only person who is not in PERFECT shape? I'm probably not buff enough to come to camp.
A: Most campers are normal, everyday people who are frustrated with the lack of results they get or are looking for new motivation. You will fit in perfectly, whatever your size, shape, or level of fitness.
   

Q:

Will I lose weight at camp?

A:

Most people do lose from 2-5 pounds during their stay at FITCAMP. That is not our goal, however. We set you up with a program that allows you to hit the ground running when you return home. In the weeks and months that follow camp you will lose weight and body fat, tone up,and enjoy renewed interest and motivation in your fitness program.

   

Q:

What's the difference between deluxe and dorm style housing?

A:

Deluxe is like a hotel room with two people sharing a room with a bath.
Dorm style is cabins, bunk-style, funky, fun, G.I. Jane. 4-6 women per cabin.
Separate shower and bath facilities just across from the cabins.

   

Q:

Which is better?

A:

Both are fun. Depends on your personal style. Deluxe accommodations are more limited, however, so you need to book early.

   

Q:

What do I bring to camp?

A:

When you officially register you will get a list of suggested items telling you everything you need to pack.

   

Q:

How do I get to camp?

A:

If you' re flying in, book your own cheapest airfare (or call Sandy Garcia at 310/978-4117; SGARCIA10@socal.rr.com). Plan to arrive at Los Angeles Int'l Airport (LAX)a day before camp so that Monday, June 3 is not a full travel day. Once you reach the baggage claim area begin to look for the Holiday Inn LAX shuttle bus which will take you to the hotel there. You will be on a list to receive the special FITCAMP rate (about per person, dbl. occ). At 7A.M. Monday morning you will get on the FITCAMP shuttle bus just outside the hotel, which will take you directly to camp, where you will stay for the remainder of the week. Wear workout clothes on the bus because once you arrive at camp and get checked in, the fitness fun begins.

   

Q:

I'm flying in. Do I need a rental car?

A:

No.

   

Q:

What if I'm driving in?

A:

Plan to arrive by 8A.M. Monday, June 3. We will mail you a map to camp when you sign up.

   

Q:

When should I book a flight back on Friday, June 7.

A:

Any flight that departs LAX after 4PM will work fine.

   

Q:

If I stay over for a Saturday night I get a much cheaper fare. Can I check into the airport hotel on Saturday, June 1?

A:

Absolutely. The inexpensive rate we've gotten for you there allows for you to arrive early, spend Sunday exploring the LA area if you'd like, and still save money. There will be others headed to camp for you to meet and explore with. We will provide you with a list of fun places to see and do with a short cab ride from the airport hotel.

   

Q:

I'd like to stay an extra day or so after the camp to visit LA. What do you suggest?

A:

We can book you a room at the Holiday Inn LAX at our rate and you can use that as a base of post-camp operations. Or we can suggest other hotels and things for you to do after camp is over.

   

Q:

Do I need any money at camp other than the regular camp fees?

A:

We have a pro shop with T-shirts and hats and stuff. You can charge things there or pay cash. We have massages and facials available for reasonable fees. You will need cash for spa services if you desire them. These are options, however.
