Join other Newton locals for this special CORE Bootcamp class run by Gregg Smith 6:00-6:45 a.m. on Wednesday, March 23, 2011 at The Hut on Tyler Terrace, next to Mason-Rice Elementary School. Sign yourself up and invite a friend too!

CORE Boot Camp is an unintimidating exercise program for adults designed to activate dormant muscles that haven't been used in a long time.  Participants can also expect to learn the proper fat burning techniques to increase metabolism and trim their waistline.  You will learn how to both strengthen and stabilize your core for functional purposes, and for appearance as well.  Be prepared to use your own body as equipment, as well as barbells, dumb bells, medicine balls, rubber bands, suspension trainers and much more.  We will work around any injury or limitation as needed.

Gregg has been in the fitness industry since 1998  He has a master's degree in physical education/health and fitness.  Gregg is also certified through the NSCA as a CSCS.  He learned how important diet and exercise were to a healthy lifestyle when he was a child.  Gregg's father was stricken with heart disease and passed on at a very young age.  Growing up he became very interested in building my body for sports and recreation.  When it came time to choose a career path it seemed pretty obvious to me what was right for him.  Seeing the impact of both heart disease and a healthy lifestyle on not just an individual, but the people around them steered me in the direction of the health and fitness field.  Helping people live healthier, longer and more productive lives is why I go to work every morning.
