For the last 6 months, I have been working out, eating healthier and lost 22 pounds. I still have more work to do, though, so I was thrilled to have the chance to check out Indy Boot Camps this month. I have really hit a plateau on my own—having a personal trainer to guide me through the next steps has awesome.

The one-hour class is fun, engaging and kicks my butt week after week. Indy Boot Camps has weight loss classes in several locations across the Indianapolis area. I’m attending classes at the Castelton/Fishers/Geist location, which is lucky for me because that is where the amazing deal happens every Saturday!

For just $5 per week, you can attend fitness boot camp on Saturday mornings. The best part is half the proceeds goes to charity! It’s a great way to get fit, save money and support local organizations. But, if you’re looking for more than once per week, check out today’s Living Social Deal to save nearly 75% on a month of classes!


I have received a free month of fitness boot camp from Indy Boot Camps to facilitate a series of posts on my weight loss journey. All opinions are, as always, 100% mine.

Fit & Frugal: Where To Buy Fitness Equipment & Sporting Goods

When I started out on my fitness journey with Mamavation, I didn’t want to spend a lot of money. In fact, I worked hard to focus on at-home exercises I could do for FREE! As I grew stronger, though, my canned good weights weren’t really doing anything. So, a set of hand weights was the [...]


Fit & Frugal: FREE At-Home Workouts

I’d like to tell you I’ve never joined a gym because it isn’t in my budget. The truth is, I’ve just never been interested in exercise. I swam through high school and into college. I roller bladed through that time as well. Then I had kids, and my idea of fitness was running after a [...]
