When we first spoke on the phone back in August it was about Nicole wanting to take her work-outs up a notch – before basketball try-outs. It wasn’t about me. You asked if I would be joining Nicole and I said I might give it a try ...thinking it would look ridiculous if I took Nicole and then just watched LOL The 1st class was one of the warmest, humid days of the summer and you came prepared with a bin full of ice water :).
I was kind of nervous ... but after that first class I was hooked! It was a tough class, but it was tough in a different way. I love the format of the class – what I mean is the ‘HIIT’ type of training you do. It makes the class manageable, really push for a short length of time, then recover.
I definitely feel stronger and more co-ordinated and so proud that I am dragging tires and running hills. I would absolutely encourage my family, friends and associates to try your classes – and for those I have already spoken to, I highlight the very positive environment. lots of support and no one is judging you – regardless of your physicals abilities.
I believe I am in week 10 or 11 and I have only missed 3 classes – so that is awesome.
On a deeper level, being able to do this with Nicole has been a lot of fun and I think she is proud of me too! I know she can kick my butt in endurance and speed, but I can give her a run for her money on some strength exercises.... a little competition is fun.
Lastly, you know the saying ‘like attracts like’ and that proves the be very true with your followers – a great bunch of people to share this experience with!!
I would absolutely encourage my family, friends and associates to try your classes – and for those I have already spoken to, I highlight the very positive environment. lots of support and no one is judging you – regardless of your physicals abilities.
Gained 5lbs Of MUSCLE and Lost 10lbs Of Body Fat! He Feels Better Than Ever.
Fell In Love With Bootcamp, Lost 14lbs And 4% Of Her Body Fat
I first heard about Proactive Training and Nutrition in June. It was perfect timing as I had made the decision that though I love my family incredibly, I needed to do something for myself. Little did I know that what I thought was a small decision would turn out to be everything but small!
I was nervous to start on this path as I didn't quite know what to expect. I mean ive tried everything; boot camp, different exercise classes, group sports, went spinning, in a group and on my own. But still I was nervous that I wouldn't be able to keep up, that I wouldn't see any changes, that I would let my family down and that I would disappoint myself.
My first class was great. A group game, a warm-up, circuits, another game and a cool down and definite motivation. I quickly assimilated into this routine, making it feel natural. After a few weeks, I felt less tired, and felt better in general. My clothes were fitting better and more comfortably. Charlotte's customized nutrition plan helped me notice even more results. I was not only feeling better but I was loosing pounds!
I am down 14 pounds since I begun this initial journey and am excited to hear about my inches when I have my measurements taken this week.
This journey has 'made me a believer' that you can make a change and can make that change at any time. The support and motivation that Emerson and Charlotte have provided is amazing. I am not sure I will ever have quite the same energy as Emerson does, but it is truly amazing. It is evident that these two truly care about each and every one of their participants.
I am glad that I took on this challenge and that I have proven to myself that I can make a change. I fell better and have noticed some results (no more flabby under arms) :)
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Emerson and Charlotte!
She Created New Habits, Lost 8lbs and 5% of her body fat in 8 weeks!
I was nervous coming to bootcamp for the first time. It was really tough and I thought I was going to die after the first session. I was so out of shape. I had given up on getting back into shape. I was unhappy with how I looked and how my clothes fit.
I did not expect to come as far as I have. If I had not come to Emerson's boot camp, I would still be sitting on the couch eating chocolate after a stressful day at work.
There have been many days when I have come home from work exhausted and have come to boot camp anyway - always leaving feeling de stressed and so much better. I have replaced eating chocolate with working out.
I have lost weight, gained muscle and am starting to love how I feel in my clothes.
We have changed our diet and have started eating better as a family. I feel like my husband and I are positive role models for our kids - teaching them healthier habits.
I started running again. Something I loved to do and never thought I would be able to do again. I can do push ups and lift tires!
Never say never!
Thanks Emerson and Charlotte!
Kortnie Discovered New Found Motivation, Support And.....Abs
"Four months ago I wouldn't even imagine being where I am now. Proactive training and nutrition has taken my life and flipped it positive side up. Not only do I feel great about my body, I have ten times the energy when I wake up every morning. My goal was to gain strength and agility for basketball but I have done so much more than that. Emerson has pushed me beyond what I thought I could ever do, he makes me feel strong and pushes me to work hard. Through this program I have learned to never give up and with the right encouragement I could do anything.
The experience I have gotten with the people from Bootcamp is unexplainable with words. The dedication, support, push, and love each and everyone gives every night is amazing. This is the best kind of fitness hands down."
Kelly Rapidly Changed Her Body In Just 8 Weeks!
"I would highly recommend anyone looking to get in shape this summer in Kitchener/Cambridge area to sign up at Proactive Training and Nutrition. After going to weekly boot camp classes with Emerson Petri for almost a full year, I see extreme differences in my entire body - physically and mentally as well! His motivation, energy, positive attitude and challenging workouts each week cannot be matched! The group environment is so inspiring to keep going and coming back for more!!! Workouts can be tailored to your fitness level as you progress and the outdoor bootcamps are SO much fun! Cannot say enough good things - please check it out! :)"

Nathan Lost 30lbs In 8 Weeks!
"Just want to take a minute and thank you again for the job you have done for me. Your workouts proved to be the most motivating and enjoyable way for me to get fit, stay interested and commit long term. It sounds silly and all yet I have never felt this fit and healthy ever before and I feel great about myself. Yes I worked hard and was disciplined with my eating habits, yet it was you that sparked my desire to do so."
"My mind was blown when I saw my results! I can't thank you enough for helping me find a way to get those results. You are legit and I owe you big time."

Jessica March Experienced Faster Weight Loss With ProActive Training
"I have spent the past five years exercising five or six times a week through cycling, a gym membership, yoga, weekend hikes, and morning walks in an effort to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. Having been intimidated to work out with others, going to the group sessions was definitely out of my comfort zone. I was surprised how much I liked the class, and found that it was easy to continue with my original exercise plan for pleasure. Adding in Emersons Classes to my schedule resulted in stronger weight loss and muscle building results.
Having completed two seasons of group workouts, I’m more willing to try new things, and with more energy. Emerson’s classes are unlike anything I’ve tried before with a true focus on being good to your body through nutrition and exercise.
I would recommend Emerson’s class for anyone who is serious about making changes in their lifestyle, and who will commit to the program the way Emerson will commit to you. Partnering with Charlotte McCord for nutrition is an incredible business expansion and will surely benefit anyone looking to kick up their nutrition as well."
Tessa Smith 12 week Transformation
"As a dancer, I have always been an active person. However I struggled with losing my “freshman 15” and turned to Emerson for help getting back into my previous shape. With all the high intensity interval training and resistance training at boot camp, not only was I able to get back into my previous shape; I actually surpassed what I used to look like, and am currently in the best shape I have ever been in. I couldn’t imagine looking like this when I started training and I’m so happy that I began my fitness journey with the help of Emerson. His extensive fitness knowledge and motivational support will surpass your expectations and have you attaining your goals in no time. The workouts Emerson leads at boot camp are always challenging, fun, and different every time you go. I thoroughly enjoy how Emerson incorporates high intensity cardiovascular exercise combined with resistance training; as this provides a full body workout with toning your muscles at the same time. While training with Emerson, not only have I changed my body for the better, I have acquired a great deal of new confidence within myself. I have been lucky to become a member of the 2014 CFL Hamilton Tiger Cats Cheerleading Team, and couldn’t have done it without the help and support of my friend and trainer Emerson Petri. If you are contemplating training with Emerson, I can assure you it will be your first step to success with achieving a healthier and fit body. I had so much fun at boot camp last summer, and can’t wait for boot camp to start up again this year!"

"I just wanted to say thanks again for the sessions last week. I’ve been to a lot of boot camp / circuit training type classes and yours was easily the best. You bring a ton of energy and do such an amazing job of touching, supporting and encouraging everyone while keeping a close eye on the clock. More than anything you have a sincerity and genuine interest in everyone’s success that shines through.
The session was challenging and diverse. I was well spent, especially being a bit out of shape having traveled much of Aug.
I really value the sessions and I am happy to recommend the class to others in the neighbourhood.
Keep up the great work man!"

His motivation, enthusiasm and care for individuals is truly Amazing!!! Thank you so much Emerson for changing my Life!!! You are Awesome! Cant wait to start up again this year!"
