Roland,
I just wanted to say thanks again for today’s class. Not only did you hear us say we wanted to have latin music during the class, you went the extra step and changed and adapted the session to give us a different, tough and fun class.
I’m never bored by yours or Dave’s classes, I always walk out feeling challenged, in a good way, but I also appreciate when folks in the class express a preference for something, and the two of you go that extra step to respond accordingly. Nice customer service.

I recently started attending the indoor boot camp classes here. The people are great here, and David is an awesome instructor. I always look forward to go to class and workout. If you are looking for a great place to workout, make sure you come in and try a class.

My experience at No Excuses only gets better and better with each session.
What I like is the:
1) The trainers are nice and encouraging. It's not a military style bootcamp - you work at your own pace and they wouldn't make you do anything they didn't think you couldn't handle.
2) Free introductory class
3) Convenient times offered and convenience of being able to schedule your classes online
4) Flexibility in choosing the days & times you can/want to attend
5) Free towels for you to use in case you forget yours
What I don't like:
1) There's really nothing negative I can think of, but the only thing is I wish there were Friday night classes. It wouldn't make or break the deal for me though.
The trainers are friendly and have workouts that will definitely make you sweat A LOT but you will feel good about it afterwards. There's nothing to lose (except maybe some calories!!) by trying out No Excuses at least once - especially if it's complimentary!

I have been attending indoor boot camp classes for nearly two years, and at age
42, I am in the best shape of my life! Roland and Dave are inspiring and
encouraging, and always challenge me to improve. I'm not a runner by nature,
but since training at No Excuses Fitness, I've run three 5Ks.

I highly recommend No Excuses Indoor Boot Camp to beginners and for those who are in good physical shape. The trainers, both Dave and Roland, will push you to your limit and further. The classes are the right size, everyone is super friendly, and both Roland and Dave make each class FUN (although you will walk out of there drenched).
Thanks for actually making working out FUN guys.

I love this place! David and Roland are excellent trainers and they make boot camp so much fun due to their great attitudes and senses of humor. They are experts at designing workout progressions that challenge, but somehow feel good rather than painful. It is like each exercise set is a break from the one before, and each set changes just before you feel like breaking. Very positive and supportive. If you stick with it, you can have a completely different body. I see improvements even after one class. I wish my schedule allowed me to do it all the time.

I worked with Dave and Roland at No excuses for the past three years and they have taking my athleticism to the next level. They pushed me to my limits but always made it a great time. Every time I finished a workout I looked forward to the next. I started out playing college basketball for two years but with the knowledge and work ethic they helped me build I kept working hard on my own and now I do the decathlon for my college's track team. I highly recommend No Excuses Fitness to anyone at any level who is looking to improve there health, athleticism and overall well being. One workout and you will be hooked and feeling great.

Dave is a great trainer! I've come so far in the few months I've been in boot camp. I had lost all muscle tone and stamina due to surgery and chemotherapy. Now I can do all the exercises and I feel great!

Roland is a great trainer. He pushes me harder than I would push myself, but he always makes it fun and interesting. He is very knowledgeable about good training techniques and stays up with what's current. Plus, he is a very funny guy!

Working with Dave and Roland helped me account for five scholarship offers from different universities across the country. By working with these two, they've helped me grow as an individual and excel on the football field. They have been a major part of my success and I advice everyone to work with these two wonderful trainers.

Roland has been my health and fitness partner for over
10 years. Since my husband
joined me in my workout time
a few years back, it has become a lifestyle change for
us. Roland's expertise and knowledge in the field is outstanding!

I love the fact that the environiment is a focused group of results-oriented individuals-- not your typical overcrowded, "all-muscle" gym. Initially, I thought once a week was all I could take, but now, I look forward to working out at least 2 to 3 times a week. This type of workout definitely shows results!!!
