Hello! My name is Randy, and I used to weigh 274 pounds with about 44% body fat and had to take two breaths to tie each shoe. Yeah, being unhappy was an understatement. Today, I am 202 pounds with about 9% body fat and feel like a million bucks. I made a decision to start caring about myself and haven't looked back ever since.
If it happened to me, it can happen to you. You see, a friend talked me into joining a fitness boot camp with him, and it changed my life. I didn't want to at first, but I did. I went through a total and complete transformation. My instructor taught me how to believe in myself again. With a little hard work, dedication, determination, and consistency I became a new man.
The boot camp made such an impact on my life that I decided to make a profession out of it. Now I am able to give back what was freely given to me and make huge differences in people's lives. I cannot express in words how good it actually feels to see people's self esteem and confidence levels skyrocket as a direct result of them letting me help them. Physical fitness is so crucial in living a better quality life, not to mention longevity. Today, I live life to the fullest and have enough energy to do whatever I want (even keeping up with 4 kids)!
I instruct 4 boot camps in the valley and teach power yoga in Oro Valley, as well. Maybe you are not as out of shape as I was, but if you are not happy with your level of fitness, I can and will make a difference in your life if you let me. If you want what I have to offer you gotta come and get it! The people who get what they want in life get it, because they show up to get it.
One thing I can promise is this is the most fun you'll ever have getting your butt kicked!

Hi!
My name is Helen and I have been with Randy at Brown’s Boot Camp since November
of 2009. Since joining, I’ve lost 40 pounds of scale weight which translates to
more than 75 pounds of body fat. I’ve gone from 44% body fat to 26% and will get to 20% before
2011 passes.
Since
my mid-twenties, I have lost and gained anywhere from 20-60 pounds so many
separate times that I’ve lost count. I was an athlete through high school but
after graduation (MANY years ago) I was more interested in the party life than
sports. Then, about 15 years ago, I became an “event” athlete. That is, I enjoyed
a decent level of fitness when I trained for a specific event (such as a half
or full marathon). But once the event was completed I would resume a more sedentary
lifestyle, punctuated by horrible eating habits, too much caffeine, not enough
sleep, too much work, etc. It was all a part of my health and fitness cycle of dysfunction.
I was getting older and I knew I needed a change...
Enter
Randy Brown. Since joining Brown’s
Boot Camp, I have trained for and completed another half marathon as well as
trained for and completed the full 109 mile El Tour de Tucson in November of
2010. I still enjoy training for and completing events. The difference is that
I now have a “staple” fitness program. No matter what single event for which I
train, during the training and after I complete the event, attending Brown’s is
the biggest part of maintaining my overall great health and fitness.
It
is my plan to reach my goal weight by July of 2011. It will take determination and discipline over the long haul to keep the pounds off. But my chances of success are
dramatically increased because of the improved mental, physical, and spiritual
health I’ve achieved as a result of making Brown’s Boot Camp a part of my life.
Days
are passing. Time is marching on. Stop making excuses and come take YOUR power
back, HOOHAH? HOOHAH!!
See
you at Boot Camp!

Hello, my name is Jennifer. I started Brown’s Boot Camp back in November of 2010. Through Randy’s program I have lost over 70 lbs of scale weight and 8” off my waist. I
went from 43% body fat to 28%. I am wearing sizes that I haven’t worn
since I was a sophomore in high school! I am able to run, do pushups and
sit ups and not be out of breath.
I have struggled with my weight since my early teens. I
have never been the “athletic” type. I have tried all of the crazy fad
diets out there, gym membership, buying a treadmill, and any diet and
exercise infomercial you see on T.V at 3 a.m. Nothing worked!! I failed over and over. I
was discouraged and unhappy with myself. I made excuses for reasons why
I could not lose weight and be healthy. I had all but given up until a
friend of mine told me about Randy and Brown’s Boot Camp. I was skeptical because I had failed at everything else, I never stuck with anything. How would this be any different?
It was! After
each camp I felt a little stronger and more empowered. I was finally
able to feel in control of my fitness goals along with other aspects of
my life. I started seeing changes in me, and not just the physical ones. I was feeling more confident, positive attitude, and happier. Randy believed in me until I could believe in me. Now I can’t imagine Brown’s Boot Camp not being a part of my life.
Let us help you motivate you! Take back your power!

I came to Randy in June 2011, looking for a challenge. I had already lost the weight I wanted to lose, but was looking to tone up. I couldn't stand the gyms, and other personal trainers just wanted to get me in and out. As soon as I started the Program I fell in love. They took the time to listen to how I felt inside and what areas I wanted to improve. Today I feel healthy and beautiful in my skin.... All with the help of Randy Brown and the Boot Camp instructors. I never thought I would feel like my self again. But I found a program that works not only my body, but my mind and spirit. I feel a sense of serenity after every workout, and a sense of accomplishment. I am now an instructor and can not wait to get out there and help others. My goal is to inspire people as much as Randy has inspired me.

Hi my name is Clare. I’ve been participating in Browns Boot Camp for over 15 months, after years of doing mostly moderate gym class exercises and going on and off various diets to lose weight. What persuaded me to give it a try was that I had witnessed one of my best friends totally transform herself and I wanted a piece of the action! What I wasn’t prepared for was how transforming it would be for me in ways that I wasn’t expecting. Yes I lost weight and am fitter now than I have ever been before in my life (I’ve just run my first half marathon!) but the ripple effects in the rest of my life have probably been the most significant. I am surrounded by a group of incredibly supportive and like-minded individuals who all have similar health and well-being goals and together we fight for and achieve our fitness goals. Every participant is encouraged to take personal responsibility and accountability, with a positive mental attitude and as it turns out these are some of the key ingredients for emotional well-being and a great deal of personal satisfaction. Without fail at the end of every workout I realize I have been inspired by one or more of my team members and it’s this camaraderie and the fact the instructors have your true well-being at heart that makes the program unique.
I now acknowledge that I am no longer ‘on diet’, but rather making good nutrition and fitness a permanent lifestyle choice which I believe makes me a better person, a better mother and spouse and has inspired me to help others too. I am so excited to be taking the next step in my personal journey by becoming an instructor and I am privileged to have a job that I feel so passionate about. I look forward to paying forward the gifts that I’ve received from Randy and his team.
A START TO A NEW YOU IS ONLY DAYS AWAY!
