Why a women's only camp at 5:30am? Funny...but the inspiration came from being surrounded by amazing women in my life starting with both of my grandmothers who have passed away, my amazing mom, and my older sister that used to kick my butt a lot when I was very young! lol... I saw the struggles they went through with trying to stay fit at all ages, and wanted to create an environment that any of them could join and feel comfortable in..unlike the typical gym atmoshere experience where they were left intimidated, confused, and at some points... even felt taken advantage of by high pressured, sales people (I mean trainers).

I am proud to say Michigans Adventure Boot Camp is rapidly expanding throughout Southeast Michigan as I continue with my vision of attracting professionally like-minded women, moms, and housewives to our boot camps which is ultimately a comfortable community where women can connect and make friends, receive support and motivation, while receiving premium fitness training that is safe, fun, and effective for all fitness levels.  This is all part of a much bigger vision we have to be a major component and catalyst in helping the women of Michigan become the healthiest and most fit women in the country.

There is so much fallacy and fiction when it comes to exercise and diets. This site will provide information that is true, safe and also practical. The demands placed on women today are more than ever as your days are becoming more like a juggling act with so much to do….the life of a mother! Our website will provide information to make your life easier as I provide real useful information that will get you better fitness results in less time and easy eating tips that are practical and not going to leave you drained and confused.

David was nominated as best personal trainer in Hour Magazines "2010, and 2011 BEST OF DETROIT"

"Hi, I want to give a friendly welcome to the ladies of Michigan. I look forward to seeing you in our next Adventure Camp. Besides wonderful results you can easily look forward to a lot of fun, variety and a great network of supportive friends. I cant wait to meet you soon!" - David K

Pam Lent, Boot Camp Coach    

Pam is a firm believer in Michigan's Adventure Boot Camp having been a 5 day a week Camper since July of 2008!  Because of her strong beliefs in a whole-body approach to health and well being, starting a second career as a fitness trainer and massage therapist was a natural progression.  She has a diverse background for sports and activities ranging from softball, mountain biking, scuba diving and participating in 5 & 10K runs.  She has many fitness certifications including a personal training and boot camp certification and continues to educate herself on all forms and disciplines of exercise.

In her previous career as a marketing professional, her day began at 4:30am in order to hit the gym and juggle the many demands of being a single parent and maintaining her health fitness.  So an early morning commitment is no problem for her! “It’s one of the best hours of my day!!” Pam says.
 
My passion for health and fitness has continued to grow and develop through my two sons.  They have both been participating in competitive sports since they were very young and have been introduced to many activities that keep them moving and believing that it is, by far, the best medicine for them! 

"I believe whole heartedly that my children learn from what I do and not from what I say and I pride myself on being the best role-model I can.”
