The 3 Reasons Boot Camps Miss the Mark (and Wreck Your Body)
Most fitness boot camps promise fast results and endless motivation—but the reality is that they usually bring plateaus, frustration, and more injuries than improvements. After two decades as a personal trainer, it’s clear: these environments rarely deliver safe, lasting change.
1) Pushing People Far Past Their Capacity
Jumping from sedentary living to max-intensity workouts isn’t a smart progression. Sally, for example, is active but mostly sedentary, then suddenly thrown into a high-intensity, one-size-fits-all boot camp. The result? Pain, exhaustion, and risk—not the strength and physique she hoped for.
2) No Thorough Evaluation
A quick body fat test is not an evaluation. Without deeply understanding each person’s history, injuries, and goals, real risk factors get missed. Issues like back pain, compressed discs, tight fascia, or underlying patterns are ignored—not safe or productive.
3) No Individual Adaptation
Movement is good, but random, unadapted movement in a crowded class isn’t a recipe for success. To truly progress, each person needs a structured plan, progressing from stability to strength and flexibility based on their current state and future goals.
What Makes a Group Class Actually Safe and Effective?
SolCore Fitness’s Group Exercise Classes are built on holistic assessment and progressive, biomechanically sound programming. Every participant is evaluated, each movement is biomechanically purposeful, and adaptation is a constant. The results? Real pain relief, improved posture, body awareness, and sustainable strength—without the wreckage.
Looking to lose pain, build posture and strength, and actually enjoy your fitness journey?

I made the decision and commitment to take Ekemba’s class for 1 year. At the at that time I was taking 9-12 advil or neproxin a day. Ekemba has taught me to exercise properly and do stretches that really address the root of the problems I was having verses just the symptoms.
Class with Ekemba is like having your own personal trainer. He is attentive, patient and a great teacher. Its amazing how much better I feel today verses one year ago.
I would and have encouraged many to take this class – you will not regret it if you have back problems, neck issues, hips, shoulders…step into a new way of healing your body…the bonus for me is I no longer take any pain relievers.
Thank you Ekemba.
