Kelly joined Adventure Boot camp as a participant in June 07 and became hooked! "I felt I was in a slump with my workouts, and needed to be pushed. It was the best decision I ever made, and I feel stronger, healthier and more confident than I have in years" Kelly replies. The positive reinforcement, the team atmosphere, and the enthusiastic workouts that Shannon and her Boot camp program offer are something I feel passionate about being involved with.

Kelly spent a year training under Shannon to become an Assistant Boot Camp coach. She shares the same motivation, passion and love for the program.
