Saturday Morning Bootcamp


Ever wonder who all those people were running up and down Birkdale Commons Parkway or running through the village on Saturday mornings carrying random things like 10 lb bars and backpacks? Well, they're all a part of Mike Scotto's and Terry Vaughn's Bootcamp experience.


Its a unique outdoor fitness challenge. Mike Scotto started it indoors at the Birkdale Fitness Center (Fitcare) last spring and it was called High Intensity Team Training. Terry then took it outdoors and since starting his class in September we've had great Saturday weather ever since.


The class usually starts about 9:30 AM in front of the Birkdale Fitness Center and lasts about an hour to an hour and a half. This is a great self paced work out that will leave you feeling challenged and fulfilled all weekend long. Plus, its a fun group of people. Terry and Mike usually mix the classes up between runs, sprints, and muscular workouts. We had an out of town visiting friend take the class with us and she was cursing us for a week afterwards. Of course she ran track in high school and wanted to strut her stuff - you don't have to push that hard first time out (Diethra, thinking of you).
The more then merrier so come on out. And if you see us running by cheer us on to work harder and to push ourselves.
