Our company is where it is today because we have fabulous trainers!  Bikini Boot Camp has had the sincere pleasure of having Mel as an irreplaceable part of our family since Spring 2006.  Mel is one of our Bikini Boot Camp 'poster' trainers because she lives the Bikini Boot Camp lifestyle.  You will always find her smiling and adding joy into every life she touches.  Mel exudes unconditional support and infectious optimism which is shown by the success she has created in Prince Albert.

Every 8 weeks, 50 Prince Albert women experience Mel.  Those of you who have had the privilege to have Mel as a trainer know that if you don't register the day her programs open online, you most likely will not get in.  Her participants love her that much!

Besides creating an amazing Bikini Boot Camp experience in Prince Albert here are some of her other roles with us:

• Mel started our hugely successful lake programs at Emma, Christopher and Candle Lakes!
• Mel is a Bikini Boot Camp Mentor trainer and shares her "can do" attitude with Edmonton, Red Deer and "the Lakes" trainers.
• Mel is a Bikini Boot Camp Retreat trainer and has been with us for two of our Mexico Retreats!

Mel, we are trying, but we simply can't thank you enough for all the love you have given our company!  We are forever grateful and are delighted that you have become such an integral part of the Bikini Boot Camp journey.  In Mel's words, "You are 'FRIGGIN' AWESOME"!

We all go through times when we could use a little more "oomph" to get out of bed for the 5:45 workout.  Our trainers are here to help you stay motivated and assist you in reaching your goals, but how can you help yourself?  Below are some actions you can take to stay on course to reach your goals.  We know you can do it!

• Keep a Journal - Whether old fashioned pen and paper or an electronic record or blog, keeping track of your workouts will show your progress over time and keep yourself accountable.  Try to write a one-line comment after every workout.
• Star Chart - Go back to the good old days of Kindergarten and buy those glittery star stickers.  Every day you complete your workout, give yourself a star on the calendar.

What to do when you're procrastinating...

• Do it for just 5 minutes - Get on your gear, lace up your shoes and tell yourself you'll commit to the first 5 minutes and you can stop after that if you choose.  Rarely will you want to stop once you get going.  Yes this is a little like tricking yourself...but it works!

Drop In Workouts (Calgary, Saskatoon and Regina)
We hear you!  For years you have been asking for drop in workout, and here they are!  Is committing to an 8 Week Program your limiting factor?  Experience our drop in workouts.  Designed for those of us with unpredictable lives; workout on your terms, at your time!

Stroller Program (Calgary)
We have enjoyed having so many of you join us for our post-natal programs!  Watching you both through the first year is a great gift.  Our post-natal program welcomes children between 6 weeks - 1 year, but what about those children older than 1 year, or those who have older siblings?

Bikini Boot Camp introduces the Stroller Program!  A program that allows moms to get in their kick-butt workout with the kids!  Our workouts are designed around strollers so all age ranges are welcome to attend.  All you need is a stroller that will sit the appropriate amount of children.

**Workouts will last 60 minutes.  It is highly recommended that you practice taking your children out in the stroller for 60 minutes prior to the program start so that they get used to spending this amount of time in the stroller.

Lindsay and Dawn spent a week traveling through Saskatchewan attending workouts and meeting with the trainers and participants.  We have been blown away by all of the trainers in Saskatoon, Regina, Prince Albert and the Lakes.  The strength of the programs reflects the strong sense of community that has been created and trainer enthusiasm which is infectious.  Awesome work ladies!
