Here's Why Bootcampers Keep Coming Back to Evolve
"Shelley is fantastic.
I've been coming to Evolve Bootcamp for over a year now, only taking a break for the winter months. When I first joined I expected what bootcamp sounded like---a military style workout with an instructor yelling at you while working out. I couldn't have been more wrong. Shelley has a wonderful way of pushing you to your limits and keeping you engaged the whole class, all with a smile on her face! I don't think I've ever looked forward to a workout as much as bootcamp. I'm hooked, and I can't wait to come back in the spring. There is a great sense of community here, and it's wonderful to be exercising outside. Definitely give it a shot!" Dana Ferruzzi (Yelp)
"I've been a year round Evolve Bootcamper for three years!
That says it all... I feel strong and fit and Shelley gets much of the credit. She changes the fitness boot camp challenges all the time and she organizes fun weekend outings all over greater Boston and beyond to keep things interesting (for herself and the campers) .... hiking in the Blue Hills; running and yoga in the Arboretum and Castle Island; Sky Zone Trampoline in Norwood; mud runs, mini triathlons and I hear kayaking to come soon!! I've made great new friends and the work outs etc. help me keep a balance for self/work/family. Hoorah! Show No Weakness!!" Susan McDermott (Boston A-List)
"When was the last time as an adult
have you run as fast as you could (without anyone chase you) or did a round of leapfrog or played dodge ball or threw a tire around? I am assuming that unless you have been to a fitness boot camp the answer is "never" -- but being at Evolve is like being back in gym class, but way more fun! Shelley is a ball of energy and is so supportive and also tough as nails! No two workouts are the same and she always keeps you guessing as to what is going to be next.....which is part of the fun. I absolutely love working out with Shelley and the rest of the folks in my group -- trust me the workout is hard and high energy but they are so much fun! I have never ever been bored in class and no two sessions have been the same. I love being outdoors, meeting new people and oh yeah....looking and feeling great is a huge bonus as well! Who knew working out could be this much fun :) " Melissa Gillespie (Google+)
"You bring a great energy and helpful instruction,
"We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed 'Evolve Bootcamp'! Your workouts were just the motivation we needed to get us excited about being in good shape again. You bring a great energy and helpful instruction, which made bootcamp something we looked forward to in the mornings. " Kevin S.
"Remember playing outside as a kid and gettin' all messy?
"Remember playing outside as a kid and gettin' all messy? Today's 6AM EVOLVE BOOTCAMP in freshly mown Boston Common brought that back for me, though my childhood didn't involve quite as many push-ups. And sprinting seemed so effortless when I was a 10 year old, lol." Lisa Philpotts (check out more on Yelp)
"Shelley tailors the workout
"Shelley tailors the workout to the level of the class which is helpful. I also appreciate the variety and outdoor location Go for it!" Teva R.
“Shelley Devine, she is a master of bootcamp.
This is the best workout group I joined. She keeps it fun, active, different and you get results. Shelley is more than a trainer, she knows YOU.” How to keep you engaged no matter what level you perform. If you never tried a bootcamp, this is the one to join. There is no fear and she ensures you get more than what you paid for with results! Her bootcamp is #1. You can't find a better deal. I am glad I know this fine lady and I would recommend her to everyone. The toughest part is getting to camp, you will be glad you did it. Be warned, you will be hooked and will need to join her bootcamp over and over as part of your routine. Seriously, this lady will help you get results in 4 short weeks!” ~ Pamela G.
"Evolve Bootcamp is incredible.
Shelley is supportive and challenging at the same time! I've seen great results and I'm stronger each and every day!"
Jimmy Tran (Boston A-List)
"1000 times better than going to the gym,
"Evolve Bootcamp is awesome and addictive in the best way!!"
"Having never done anything close to resembling a boot camp, I decided to give this one a try after purchasing a deal for it. I figured I would only do it for a month but after that time came and went, I stayed for over 6 months only taking a break due to an injury. This is the only boot camp I've tried so I can't compare it to others and I wouldn't want to! Shelley is a great coach and works with people of all fitness levels. I never saw anyone not break a (drenching) sweat. Plus, working out outside is a whole lot more fun than going to the gym. Can't recommend enough! " Susan K.

What campers are saying
"it gave me more confidence in myself,"
" Happy July 4! I wanted to let you know that I'm moving back to California (just left Boston, driving cross country). I wish I had the chance to see you (and take another class) because I wanted to tell you how much bootcamp helped me. Putting myself through the workouts and finding out that I could do it gave me more confidence in myself, including the confidence to move back to CA and transition to a new career. Bootcamp also made me so much more athletic and health conscience (I had never been athletic before). Thank you!!!"~ Gen L.
