Southside Booty Camp is an outdoor fitness program that mixes resistance and cardio training in Seward Park, Seattle. Our ‘ boot camp ‘ program is a little different than most as we take a holistic and community approach, as opposed to militaristic or competitive. We use a circuit and interval training format, with frequent changing of each exercise. The unique mix of exercises can be adjusted for a range of fitness levels. You will see some traditional “boot camp” exercises – yes, there will be some push-ups! But there will also be many new exercises revamped for boot camp from many fitness modalities such as pilates and core training, active stretching, short-distance running, plyometrics, body weight and balance training. We welcome all women – including cis and trans women.
THE DETAILS
- Booty Camp is set up in four-week sessions.
- We play Monday through Thursday. morning in the great outdoors for one hour.
- We take a one week break between most sessions, but not always.

- Southside Booty Camp takes place in the beautiful wooded outdoor playgrounds of Seward, Lincoln, Volunteer and Ravenna Parks. Specific meet up locations within the parks vary so look for an email for exact details once your sign-up is complete.
But it is much more than that, it will also:
-Increase your lean muscle mass, ramping up your metabolism which creates dramatic improvement in your ability to burn fat. When you have more muscle your body burns more calories throughout the day even when you are resting. It will actually become easier to stay in great shape once you start gaining that muscle. And don’t worry, you won’t become the Incredible Hulk, but you WILL become more shapely, strong and toned, and of course, bootylicious!
-Improve your posture, circulation, balance, and bone and ligament capacity. Strengthen and activate your muscles to prevent injuries longterm.
-Provide a group of women to share becoming fit and encourage each other to reach goals. Talk to your trainer about being matched with someone who lives nearby for possible carpooling, supporting each other in your new fitness routine, and maybe even working out together on non – Booty Camp days.
-Grow your confidence in your body and your self-esteem to do everything else you love to do physically and otherwise without pain, injury, and more gusto/energy than ever before.
-Provides you with nutritional support – whether you are what they call ‘skinny fat’ and want to grow muscle mass without losing body weight or if you are like the majority of us who need to burn fat and increase fat burning lean muscle mass to reach your optimal fitness.
