First day over at Fitness Ridge and t was great to see all the wonderful trainers again and very gratifying to be recognized and welcomed back by all the staff. The facility is still in great shape and the new gym and extension are nearing completion. Can't wait to see it next year. They are definitely straining at the seams since their alliance with the Biggest Loser program and the extra space is very much needed.
The basic philosophy of "compassionate bootcamp" has not changed but there have been several changes to the program with different hikes and different assessments, and many more guides. Day 1 hike was to assess us regarding our abilities in terms of speed and terrain and and of course I had to get competitive so I've been put in the fast group for the rest of the week. Not one of my smartest moves. We went really fast today and at one point were running not hiking - something I had to put a stop to right away!
We met up with several people that we had seen on previous trips and it was wonderful to see Liz from New York again who had arranged her trip to coincide with ours. We also bumped into Max (the brother of the dad and the brother who were on Biggest Loser last year) and he looked incredible - taller if you can believe that.
Food is way better than previous years. Each class is still a stretch, especially the stretch classes (ha ha) which I find the hardest of all - bodies should just not be asked to be put in those positions. Absolutely exhausted but loving it here. Now we just have to figure out a way to see the Royal Wedding this week - is it really going to be worth getting up at 1:00 in the morning?
