For those thinking about going…
I understand this is a difficult decision to make. I am writing on this blog because, personally speaking, I would have loved to have spoken to someone prior to signing up and going. So let me tell you … it is SO worth it. It is very hard work - can’t deny that. You will be sore & exhausted & homesick the entire time - but you will lose weight. I lost 20lbs in 4 weeks and those were pretty typical numbers. If you can do it, I would recommend going for 2 months.
The trainers are fantastic - young, fun & cool. I miss them so much! The other campers I was there with were great as well, and the group camaraderie helped get me through all of the difficult work outs.
It is definitely hard transitioning to the real world. I have been home since July 26 and I am trying to work out every day and trying to eat well, but it’s definitely not easy. While you’re at Camp Technique, it seems so easy to eat well - the food is pretty great - and all you have to focus on all day is your schedule of various exercise activities. But once home, real life gets in the way. I still feel great, though. And I keep getting fantastic reactions from all of my friends & family. And it’s so fun to go shopping and fit into smaller sizes. I still have about 40lbs to lose to be down to my goal weight, but I can do it. It’s not going to come off as quickly as it did at Camp Technique, but it will happen…
The first week is definitely the hardest in terms of exhaustion, soreness & homesickness, but I got used to it. After week one, the days sort of flew by.
The weather in Marina del Rey is amazingly perfect and the apartments you stay in are really nice. It was hard work, but I really, really liked it. I may even go back for another 4 weeks at some point!

How about the rest of you?! How are things going back in the ‘real world’?
