Boot Camp + Group Fitness Classes: Why They Aren't Ideal for Building the Body You Want
22 Dec 2025
Today's episode is for the woman who has been showing up, sweating through boot camps and circuit-style classes, but not really seeing the muscle definition or body composition changes she hoped for. If you have ever wondered why you feel fitter and more exhausted, yet your progress photos look the same, this conversation will bring a lot of clarity. Group workouts can be amazing for community, accountability, and conditioning, but they are not always built to truly change the shape of your body. If you are craving structure, strength, and visible progress, you need something a little more intentional than random circuits and constantly changing workouts. In this episode, we unpack the difference between exercising and training, how to know what your current routine is actually doing for you, and simple ways to pair the classes you love with a strength plan that finally helps you build the body you want. Here's what you will learn: • The difference between exercising for health and training for body composition • Why variety and intensity alone do not create muscle growth • The three key ingredients your body needs weekly: volume, frequency, and load • How most boot camp and circuit classes fall short for strength and muscle goals • Why recovery, stress, and fueling make or break your progress This episode is your reminder that you are not unmotivated or broken. You may just need a clearer training signal, a bit more structure, and a plan that supports the goals you actually have for your body.
