I turned 60 last October and was determined not to become an old man. I started attending Boot Camp in late January ‚ the first couple of weeks were tough, but after two months, I feel the best I’ve felt in years! I won’t go so far as to call it fun, but by changing the workout every morning, Coach Rut keeps things interesting and challenging. I look forward to the class even though it means my alarm is ringing at 5:15 am every morning.

Just wanted to send my warm thank yous again for your great MEBB program. I’ve been using it in-season for basketball (as a 3-day a week template) and it has done wonders to maintain my strength and my passion for CF and basketball, all the while ensuring I don’t burn out!!! I’ve “refined/personalized” the program somewhat by splitting the lower body segment, alternating each phase between a hip dominant and a quad dominant ME exercise, and then using a posterior chain exercise as an assistance exercise during the quad-dominant ME phases, while using 1-leg quad-dominant assistance exercises during the hip-dominant ME phases. The total body day exercises progress and alternate from Hang split CJ/Hang snatch, Split power CJ/Power snatch, and finally Split CJ/Snatch, always using an assistive posterior-chain exercise. As for the upper body, I’ve chosen to alternate between Dips, Pull-ups, Rows, Chin-ups, Muscle-Ups and Standing Press, with the assistive exercise being the exact antagonist, as much as possible (in my case, upright rows, press, bench press, neutral DB press, shoulder external rotator stuff, and pull-ups.) It’s working great so far. And for added variety and more basketball specific metcons, I’ve calling upon the CF Football’s in-season metcons; again, this is working out wonderfully. Thanks to your insight, principles and the original MEBB program, I’ve been able to continue working out at a high intensity, while ensuring I continue to progress and recover adequately, the latter being even more important as I turn 36 this weekend As a special birthday treat, I’m attending Coach Burgener’s seminar this weekend in Ottawa!!!!
In the hopes of crossing paths one day…

Matt is now the starting second baseman. Hitting .442, went 3 for 3 last Tuesday and 1 for 3 Friday. They have turned several double plays. Thanks for all your work with him.

I purchased all your DVD’s and workout templates last year and all what I can say is – thanks, it is the best template/program so far for me. I was able to improve in all my lifts and my conditioning went up as well. But the best thing for me was that I also got enough rest to recover from the lifts  and even got got healthier joints.

I have been training with Boot Camp Fitness/CrossFit Kansas City since the middle of November.Since then I have lost 30 pounds and 4 inches off my waist. I would like to say that this class started out as a commitment to lose weight and it has turned into a way of life.

My body has not felt this good in years. It can be the same for anyone who really dedicates themselves to coming to class daily and eating right‚both of those go hand in hand, and if you stick to that you will see results.

I am blessed to have found this class and would like to encourage everyone to keep coming and sticking with your eating regiment.

Thank You Coach Rut. You have really inspired me and changed my life.

I purchased the MEBB DVD a while back ago. I watched it soon after and we did some of the programming but did not stick with it as we should’ve. We implemented your program for the month of October. After only one month we had dramatic results. To be honest I was skeptical when I first got it but now I’m a full believer. Thank you for the help. Best of luck and continued success.

I can not overstate how happy I am to have joined your program . I consider it literally one of the 3-4 best decisions of my life (if only I had made it sooner!). I can count on one finger the number of activities for which I will happily rise at 4 a.m. almost every day, and that is because the one hour I spend at Bootcamp Fitness / CrossFit Kansas City is easily the most productive of the day. In roughly six months, the benefits I have seen are countless and even transcend the significant fitness gains. Thanks for being the driving force of this enterprise you are making a lot of people’s lives a lot better.

I feel 150% percent better than I did at the start of your program last May. I realize that I did the work, but I am really thankful to you and your program.

I originally signed up for Boot Camp Fitness in 2001 for some exercise guidance and diversity. I had trained the same way using weights for 30 years and not until I found this program, did I make consistent, substantial and beneficial improvements in my overall fitness. The program is wonderful, allows me to keep an elevated heart rate, work at my own pace and challenge myself every single day to get better. Everyday, we do something different. I can’t believe I have been doing this for almost 9 years and I still love the workouts.

Mike Rutherford (a.k.a. Coach Rut) runs bootcampfitnesskc located in Prairie Village, KS. Coach Rut and his instructors are consummate professionals who have created custom programs that effectively combine weight training, cardiovascular, nutrition and humor. They constantly adjust and tailor the workout routines to meet my fitness needs. I highly recommend bootcampfitnesskc’s services for fitness and physical training regardless of age or level of fitness.

I have been working out most of my adult life and can honestly say that I have never had a better and more satisfying work out or experience then my training sessions with Coach Rut. He is the only person who can kick your ass and make you feel great about it. He is the absolute best in the business of fitness.
