If a quick Internet search for Toronto Boot Camp has left you breathless, here are some of the major criteria that will help you in your search. Whether you live downtown or commute from areas outside the GTA, you’ll want a boot camp that fits your budget and fits into your day. Follow these guidelines and you’ll soon find the camp that will tone up your body and tune up your social life.

One of the major criteria when looking for a Toronto boot camp is money. How much is will cost is a serious consideration when so many of us aren’t sure of our commitment level. You can’t avoid paying good money for a boot camp. After all, the instructors are all qualified with generally excellent credentials and you’re paying for the benefit of their knowledge. One way to reduce your cost is to choose a large class in a large space.

Boot camp is not personal training. You’re just a soldier in the army of out of shape people looking to improve themselves. The cost is also dependent on the length of your boot camp. Expect to pay between $300 and $500 for your camp, depending on whether it’s four, six or eight weeks in duration.

Think about why you’re choosing this type of exercise class when deciding on the length of your boot camp. Do you just need a quick four-week program to send you on your way? Would six weeks give you the results and the jump start you need to carry on by yourself? Or is an eight-week program right for you, especially if you’re working towards getting toned and lean prior to a special event.

What time of year will this boot camp be running in? Check out which Toronto boot camps are indoors, outdoors, or a combination of both. That fresh breeze off Lake Ontario isn’t as pleasant in February as it is in July. An invigorating 5k sprint up Yonge Street mid-winter or an icy workout in a field in Newmarket at 5 a.m. may not be your thing. Or it may be just the thing!

Or, perhaps that crisp, Southern Ontario air is invigorating and you can totally see yourself doing pushups out in a field in the dead of winter. Take heart that many boot camps run by personal training professionals take place in high school and church gymnasiums. It’s not about being trendy. Boot camps are about hard work.

The time of day is a very serious consideration. If you’re not a morning person, don’t make yourself get out of bed at 5 a.m. to slide into your running shoes and get out the door to put your body through strenuous exercise. It’s a recipe for failure. A late afternoon or evening boot camp might be better suited for you. Success with your exercise, and seeing your boot camp through from beginning to end, is the most important, so choose your time to exercise wisely. Lunch time is ideal for the 9 to 5 crowd and stay-at-home-moms should look for boot camps in the evening, when the kids are in school, or choose a boot camp that allows moms to bring their children in strollers.

From Oshawa to Hamilton, Toronto Island to Barrie, there are many options when it comes to a Toronto boot camp for women. Good luck in your search of the cardio bootcamp and stick with it! You deserve it.
