Our Fitness Bootcamp Taught by a certified personal trainer/certified group fitness instructor with over 10 years experience in the fitness field. Various levels of exercise are shown to accommodate each client’s ability; it is up to you to choose the appropriate level of intensity. Incorporates athletic drills, running, hill running, core training, kickboxing, pylometrics and yoga. Clients with physical limitations (shoulder, knee or just beginning a new workout program) or limited athletic abilities will be shown modified levels of exercise. Each session incorporates challenging routines and the format varies with each session. Since each session is different (to keep things challenging, interesting and fun) clients can join at anytime. Traditional Bootcamps train clients at the same level of workout intensity regardless of the client’s fitness level or physical limitations. Fit with Vic Bootcamp treats each client as an individual therefore you will be shown various levels of exercise which will accommodate what works best for you. You do not have to purchase any dietary pills or supplements from the instructor (saves you money). We have an indoor facility during inclement weather at Antioch Christain Academy.

You can come in any time between the hours of 4pm to 7pm on the date... set up for this and she will work on getting wonderful photos of the animals in your rescue for you to use on your websites or Petfinder or where ever else you would like to use them. Again, this service is FREE and you can bring as many animals as you are comfortable with handling. We have decided to go back to using a neutral background so that the pictures do not become “dated”. Any animals that we not adopted in Nov. or Dec. and you would like to bring them back for “non themed” pictures, please feel free to do so. We encourage all volunteers and fosters to take advantage of this service. The proofs will be sent to you by email within a week of the date.
