The Camp Transformation Center

My review for my second challenge lets just say. It was a SUCCESS! I lost another 22 lbs. I am so greatful to all the staff at the camp Riverside for all their dedication to seeing me succeed. I continued to follow the program, add a little more exercise to my regimen. I am staying focused on my success and I am determined to meet my goal weight.
I have learned so much and my tranformation has inspired family members to become healthy and even join. I am honored by the fact that my jouney has started making changes in my loved ones.

I signed up for the 6 week challenge in January and it completely changed my life. I had gained 100 lbs. being pregnant with twins and I still had an extra 30lbs. to lose. I tried every diet out there and worked out, but my body just would not let go of those extra pounds! So my sister told me about The Camp and I signed up right away! I went in weighing 163 and came out weighing 140 in 6 weeks! The trainers are amazing and taught me to push myself and showed me what exercises I needed to be doing in order to get the results I wanted. I completely encourage anyone who is serious about being healthy and fit to join The Camp and if you have 20+lbs. to lose, please sign up for the 6 week challenge! Thank you The Camp!

I just finished my 2^nd challenge at The Camp!!! Words can’t express how much I love this place! I’ve lost 55 pounds thanks to the support that I receive here. It’s definitely not rocket science… you need to eat extremely clean and work out almost daily. At first, this was difficult. Now that I’m in a routine I feel incomplete if I haven’t worked out or at least done something active during the day. This is the type of mindset transformation that I was looking for. The Camp is giving me the tools that I will need to continue to be successful in the real world beyond these challenges. My health has greatly improved and I am no longer in the pre-​diabetes range. All of the reviews that mention the deposit are correct. However, in my opinion you can’t put a price value on health and my health is definitely worth investing in. The people here are great and I LOVE the girls at the front desk! Nellie is an amazing director and our trainers are top notch! I still get sore from my workouts after being here almost 4 months! I’m thrilled to be starting Challenge #3 soon! #cantstopwontstop

I love this place and the people there… staff, members, challengers! Not only have I lost weight, I have become stronger, my endurance has increased, and my family has grown! I love the family environment and the positivity that they promote! If it wasn’t for the knowledge they provide, the support they lend, and the push to challenge yourself that they give, I could never had accomplished as much as I have in 6 weeks!

So today was the culminating day to my first 6 Week Challenge. I’m very happy to say that after 6 Weeks, I’ve dropped 24.2 lbs and am excited to start my next 6 Week Challenge next week. My BP and Cholesterol are back within normal limits and, despite knee surgery last November, I’m physically able to do things I haven’t been able to do in years. The Camp staff have been exceptional and I honestly don’t think you can find more inspirational and motivating trainers anywhere.

I can’t express how amazing this program is. I did the 6 weeks challenge, with a goal of losing 20 lbs in 6 weeks. I ended up losing 22.1 lbs and signed up for a second challenge. The trainers here are motivational and keep you working hard and the people in the camp with you are all in the same boat as you– no looking down on anyone, no feeling embarrassed… just encouragement! I highly suggest this if you are ready for a change!

The camp transformation is the place where you can find your me time ! Excellent workout every time! Staff and trainer are the best so far ! They push you to work hard and eat healthy ! The program works ! If you Follow The Damn Instruction and trust the process guarantee you will have results ! The Camp is the best motivator to help you with whatever health goals that you have ! The support you get from staff, trainer, challenger, alumni are over whelming ! They have a good support system to motivate and encourage you more to give your best ! You find your self strong, feeling great, proud and most of all the feeling of having big accomplishment! This place delivers result in terms of weight loss! The camp will help you develop extreme self control and self discipline as you go on with there program ! Love this place ! It’s my me time !

I am going to be a 100% honest!
DO NOT JOIN THIS PROGRAM ITS PURE B. S
When you go to the orientation they will tell you what you want to hear. Fact is most of you won’t make it during this challenge. Second it is not FREE! They say you get your 500 $ deposit back once you get to a healthy weight some camps even BMI. In oder to know what that number is add ten pounds to you healthy weight. For a female who’s 5’5 it’s 150 and below. Now if you’re more then 20 lbs overweight definitely do not do the challenge. Become a member it will only cost you a 1,000 for a year. Also this challenge is extremely unhealthy please take vitamins. Please take them many challengers complain about hair loss. You also run the risk of developing gallstones because you will be losing weight to fast. IF YOU HAVE DIABETES OR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE I DEFINITELY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PROGRAM. They are not doctors and are not qualified to tell you if you run a health risk. Now why do I say not join because of the diet. Your sugar will drop to dangerous levels always have candy with you. Their advice was to eat more carbs but if you eat more carbs you won’t hit your goal. See what I am saying! Now I’m going to talk about the diet.

Now the workouts they are intense you’re going to be doing some extreme workouts and you will get some dirty looks but most of the people there are awesome and supportive.
Let’s see tilapious is something mostly all challenge is do during the end because the diet is crazy and 80% of people will fall off. Anyway the last two days of that diet after eating only asparagus and tilapia on Sat. You can only drink 16 oz of water extremely unhealthy. Om Sunday only sips of water when you feel you’re dying of and your going to fast from 2 pm til the next morning. :D yeah it’s crazy.
Now my favorite part most of the Challengers once done with the Challenge gain all their weight back and more. Why because you’ve condition your body to eat a certain way and work out a certain way that when you stop the weight piles on quick.
There is favoritism and even if I like the trainers that family
B.S. is a lie. They pick and choose who they want to keep.
Oh and that private group on fb is pure b. S they kick you off if you say anything remotely against them. Which for some is very vital.
You will lose the weight but is losing 500 $ worth a book and 15 – 19 pounds? Or 20 but running the risk of gaining it all back.

I joined camp transformation in Riverside. What a mistake I disclosed that I has a arm injury and they said they would work with it but no they make you feel like a winer and you push yourself and now I have a sprain on my bad arm. Even though I sent them a doctors note to get a refund they said we need another doctors note that the one I had only said I had a sprain in my bad arm. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone they lie and very little support. And as you can see with what happened to me. I gave them one star they deserve none.

I had been wanting to change my review for a long time. When I first started I did feel good… but a few weeks later after I signed up (once my groupon expired) there was change. Ppl were treated differently. It like high school, you have the cool kids and the not so cool kids. I was there for over a month and do the Facebook check-​ins and the owner still didn’t know my name… it’s a shame it was good when I first started. I canceled a few year ago.

I finished my first challenge and I am happy to announce that I beat it by almost 7 pounds! The CAMP Transformation center has lived up to its name — My life has completely transformed as a result of finishing my first challenge and I cannot wait to see what the next few challenges are going to bring. I came into the Camp hoping to get back into some kind of routine and to brush up on my workout routines. The old stuff just wasnt working for me any more and it was hard on my knees and body. The program helped me to get started back on track to my body fat goals as well as my life goals. The Camp location is very convenient and well kept. The trainers are really motivating and encouraging. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. The classes are actually fun and meeting others that are struggling along side you is also a bonus. I always felt very comfortable during class, with nothing but support and encouragement from my peers and the trainers. It is a good program that truly challenges you to push yourself in the direction of your goals, not give up no matter the obsticles, and to focus on not giving up what you want most for what you may think you want now. It has been a great experience and I am excited for the next challenge!

Scam artists. Be aware! These guys will brain wash you as they were Abraham’s chosen gym. Bunch of non-​sense aiming to takeaway your money manipulating your short time goal. Hammering your weakness in their advantage. Don’t get caught in their scam. Anybody with a strict diet (which actually is available on Internet for free) could lose weight/​fat. Non sense. Stay away. You have been warned.
No Free Program. Is BS. YOU MUST PUT DOWN $ 499 DEPOSIT IF YOU MISSED JUST COUPLE OF TIMES THEN ITS GONE.

I grew up being very thin and active, but the years have taken their toll on my body. I became lethargic and woke up daily with unexplained pain all over my body. I have dieted and lost weight, but because I didn’t have an active lifestyle, the pounds came back each time. A regular gym did not challenge me, and it was never an enjoyable experience. I went to a few boot camp classes earlier this year at other places, and I realized that was the kind of workout I enjoyed doing.
I noticed the ads for the The Camp for several months before I finally looked into it because I thought it sounded too good to be true. One day though, I talked with a friend who was doing the 6 week challenge, and realized this was something I should look into for myself.
The Camp has truly been a life-​changer for me. I just completed my first challenge and lost 21.3 pounds. Within 2 weeks, my pain was completely gone, I had more energy than I had had in several years, and I dropped over 20 pounds. The combination of both the workouts and the changes in my diet have made a tremendous difference in my life. I have strength, flexibility, and the endurance to complete a pretty intense workout and leave feeling refreshed. I was recovering from a wrist injury throughout my 6 weeks, and the trainers made modifications as well as educated me on how to correctly do the exercises so that I did not re-​injure my wrist.
I am starting my 2^nd challenge soon, and I cannot wait to see how these next 6 weeks transform my body and my mind. I truly look forward to each workout and miss it when I have to take a few days off.

So I am changing my review because although I did lose more than the 20 lbs the first round the second round was a completely different story. I found on the first week of the second challenge I had been removed from the private support group for calling out the owner on his poor attitude and negativity. He verbally attacked another member and then whined about how all of us are so ungrateful and in the same sentence says how he has helped 6000 people but yet somehow we are all ungrateful? See this group is supposed to be positive or you get booted out. So I called him on him breaking his own rules and how do I get treated? Booted out without a word. Now this support group is very important to your success. You can ask questions and talk to people going thru the same things as you. So without that you feel very isolated.
The second thing I didn’t like was that there is definitely favoritism happening here. I was told my daughter could not be in the gym but time after time there was kids in the gym and apparently if you work there not only can your kids be in the gym but they can participate in the workouts.
The third thing I feel that makes this a bad experience for me is that I have been mocked when telling the girls up front that there were kids in the gym and just never really felt this whole family vibe they preach about. I actually felt like I was pushed away so that they could keep my deposit.
I ended up just giving up because it just didn’t feel good going anymore.
They say it’s a free weight loss program but it is actually a $ 497 deposit and to get it back you have to go down to a 31% body fat and lose 20 lbs each challenge before you get your money back. I just wish that they treated me better so that I could have said it was a positive experience. Instead I just am glad to be done with this place and I will continue my journey alone.

Seems like nice people, but they use very deceptive practices. Starting off, they show you an inspirational video using pirated film footage from recent copy written films. You also don’t get your money back if you win the 6 week challenge. They just enroll you in the next 6 week challenge until you fail. I’d use my $ 500 to go to a trainer who I can trust. These people might be legit, but their deceptive practices makes me wary to trust them with my health.

After having just completed my first six week challenge, I can attest that this program really does work! I lost 25 pounds in six weeks — but more than that, I feel healthier and stronger than I have in many years.
The trainers are motivating and offer a wide array of exercises to help you get into shape and build muscle to keep that metabolism rolling.
If you follow the food plan The Camp provides you will see the pounds dropping off — the best part about it is that the eating plan is not a «diet» — it is a clean eating program that is truly a way of life. We learned a ton of fun ways to spice up our meals with a lot of variety and still stick with the program.
It is not an easy program, and it is a huge commitment. So know that a lot of hard work goes into losing the weight — no magic pills, no gimmicks. Just hard work, exercise and clean eating.

At first, I thought the FREE six week weight loss challenge was possibly a scam. If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is, right? I still kept it in the back of my mind for several months. A few FB friends had signed up for it and completed it with positive feedback. Finally, when I saw yet another FB friend taking the challenge, I decided it was time to get rid of these 20lbs. I went the next day and signed up. I didn’t even have time for an official orientation.
The Camp is awesome. Many, if not all of the trainers and employees are past or current Challengers. They have been or are still on the same weight loss journey as their clients. It is not a meat market, like many typical health clubs are.
All classes are group classes about 45 – 50 min. Each starts with a 5 – 8 minute warm up and stretch. Then there are several stations around the room you go to in order followed by a cool down/​stretch. The stations are different each time, with trainer instruction before you begin. No one is paying any attention to you or what you are doing… except the trainers. The trainers walk around to make sure you are doing the task at each station correctly. Everyone else is focused on themselves and their own journey. Everyone is positive. I don’t think I heard anything negative about anyone or anything-​ever. Each class ends with high fives and some positive word or phrase yelled, followed by a possible group photo.
You wear a name sticker each time, which I originally wasn’t thrilled about; I prefer to be anonymous. It turned out not to be so bad. It is nice to have people talk to you without having to remember each-​others names from class to class.
I lost my 20lbs. I don’t think I would have done it in 6 weeks without a «challenge» to motivate me. Would I do it again if I had another 20lbs to lose? Without a doubt.

Sometimes, no matter how determined a person you are, you need a kick in the butt to reach your goals. This place, their 6 week challenge, killer trainers and supportive staff was the perfect recipe for my success. Not only did I lose almost 24 lbs in six weeks but I lost 5 in from my waist, 1 from each calf, 3 from each thigh, 1.5 from each upper arm and 1.5 from my neck! I dropped from being overweight to «normal» fit back into all of my clothes I had packed away and that’s not where the benefits end! When I started I could only do one regular push up and 5 girly ones… today I can do 100 regular! In less than six weeks through the support of everyone and giving it my all I am doing more than I ever thought I could!
Let me sum this all up. I would NEVER join a gym, it always seemed like a waste of money. I signed up for a one year membership after I completed this challenge. THAT us how awesome this place is!

I started my 6 week challenge in February of 2015 the first week was the hardest week of my whole life (I never worked out before I signed up for the camp). I’m so glad I made the decision to do this it’s helped me and taught my kids that taking care of yourself by exercising and eating clean is an important part of life. The camp has change my whole life. I lost 22.8lbs in 6 weeks. I love the camp and the AFF that you gain there. I am so grateful for Sam and the people who made it and for all the trainers who help us out everyday.
I started my second challenge in April and just finished my 6 week challenge and lost a total of 23.6lbs in 6 weeks it was hard work but totally worth all the sacrifice you have to put in. I have rolled over my money to do a 3^rd challenge I want to keep pushing myself until I am at my goal weight. So thankful for all the trainers who are still so supportive and still push us hard because they know we can do it.
I started my 3^rd challenge in June I have to say it was the hardest one of them all but I was still able to lose 22.2lbs and in a total got rid of 11.5 inches from just my waist. If you are thinking about doing a challenge that means you probably need it so I say don’t think about it any longer just do it. It will be the best decision you have made in you weight loss life

Now that I have successfully completed my second challenge and lost a total of 47 pounds I can officially say that I am ADDICTED to this place! I gained my strength and confidence back these past 3 months and I couldn’t be more grateful.
This gym is really more like a family. Everyone is so supportive and encouraging. The attitudes of the trainers, challengers and regular members are infectious. I will be a Camper for life and take the skills I’ve learned during my challenges with me on this healthy life adventure.
If you need a kick in the butt to get yourself in shape then this is the place for you!
