Get FIT in 2013 with Texas Fit Chicks Boot Camp! Now more affordable than ever

Follow Us

You asked. We heard you. And....It's Here!

We are thrilled to announce our new lower priced monthly membership options for all Texas Fit Chicks, starting Jan 2. Our boot camp workouts are better than ever, and we want to encourage you to continue training with us at a lower rate in 2013!

Texas Fit Chicks will move to a 4 week program starting in January 2013. With our innovative workouts, we have seen chicks transforming their bodies in just 4 weeks. With these new lower rates, now, more than ever, is an exciting time to be a Texas Fit Chick!

See the details and other important changes below. 

Our new membership options give you the opportunity to train with the best at the lowest price ever offered. Our Commit to be FIT package brings boot camp down to just over $8 per class!

We preach sustainability, so we wanted our boot camps to mirror that core belief. That's why we've moved to offer 4-week boot camps as part of an ongoing, sustainable program.

Here is a glimpse of TFC in 2013....each boot camp package includes full body comp before and after your session plus our 30 day Meal Plan (excluding the Drop-in Option)

4 Week No Excuses Boot Camp ~ $159
Fit For Less Camp (12 wk commit) ~ $129/month
Commit to be FIT (6 month commit) ~ $99/month

Drop-in Option $15 per class

THIS NEXT PART IS REALLY IMPORTANT...

Effective Jan 2, all chicks will sign up for boot camp on our new TFC website. Your trainer will no longer be able to accept cash or checks for boot camp.

As of Jan 1, the processing fees will be gone from our website, so your payment will be the same as if you wrote a check. You can use either a debit or credit card. We have chosen a merchant that has the highest security level available online, so your purchase is secure. If you sign up for the Drop-in Option, you will receive an email with a certificate to bring to your trainer at class time.

New Referral Rewards Program
Get $25 for each chick you refer....no matter which TFC location they choose! Have friends in Houston or College Station? Refer them to TFC & get credit!

How it works:

After you checkout online, Jan 2, or thereafter, you will be issued a client ID. Share this ID number with your friend, no matter which location they choose (we now have locations in Houston, College Station and DFW and will soon expand to other parts of Texas) and you will get a $25 credit in your account towards your next boot camp or merchandise from our Texas Fit Chicks Store (excluding Group Deal Promos). There is NO limit on the number of chicks you can refer!

Why the changes?
We've heard your requests for a lower price point and longer commitments. Our Commit to be FIT is the lowest price we've ever offered and we are excited to watch you continue reaching your fitness goals! You now get the same transforming workouts, with more convenience, a lower rate, more chances to save, and the accountability that you've come to expect with Texas Fit Chicks! 

If you are already enrolled in a Texas Fit Chicks boot camp please visit our FAQ page HERE to read about how the change will affect you and your camp.  

We are excited to be a part of your Fitness Journey in 2013!! If you have any questions about any of the changes above, please do not hesitate to reach out to myself or your trainer.  For a full list of Texas Fit Chicks locations, click HERE

Texas Fit Chick Results

Texas Fit Chicks Bootcamp was not at all what I expected, but better! I didn't feel uncomfortable about my fitness level or my size. The exercises introduced were at different levels based on your individual needs.  My goal was to not have to stay at level one for very long and I was amazed at my results within the first few weeks! - Rhonda 

I've lost 25lbs, 18 inches are gone, a drop of 8% in body fat and down 4 BMI points with 3 days a week of Texas Fit Chicks Boot Camp!! ~ Shar C.

I love the way the instructors encourage you to go beyond what you think you can do. This is definitely the best workout program I have ever been a part of. After just two weeks of bootcamp, I fit back into my pre-baby jeans..that was a special surprise! ~ Lacy  S.

I was amazed and excited today at the results of my workout with TFC Trainer, Melody Chandler…I am 65 years old, about 40 lbs over my goal, and have been with the program about 2 ½ weeks only. Today I was able to keep up with the workout, and do pretty well, when Melody told me it was similar to a workout that I could barely do a week or so ago! I couldn’t believe it….also, I could almost keep up with the walk/jog warm-up! These are big improvements for me, and I am feeling better and eating better too….I am so happy to be a part of Texas Fit Chicks, and know if I keep on,  I know I will meet my goals! Charlotte W.

Boot Camp has inspred me to work out again. The trainers are very good at pushing us in a nice and motivating way! Variety keeps me coming back! Melissa L

Final day of my first 5-week boot camp session. Results: lost 12 lbs and 11 inches. And yes, I have already signed up for session 2 ~ Celeste F.

Texas Fit Chicks boot camp helped me push myself harder than I ever would have pushed myself at the gym. The large variety of strength and cardio exercises kept me from ever getting bored and the accountability of being in a class setting kept me from making any excuses!  I lost weight and inches in my first five weeks and am looking forward to losing even more! ~ Karen M.

New Year...make it a New you! Texas Fit Chicks Boot Camp

Here comes 2013!! Let's make this new year the beginning of the new you. There are books everywhere on what to eat, when, how much, and which foods are the devil (sometimes that includes strawberries!!) Rather than starting a fad-diet that will have you gain it all back, try a couple of tried and true methods of losing weight. If you will follow these suggestions, you will notice your jeans fitting better within around 3 weeks!

• Exercise 4-5 days a week doing cardio - include resistance training at least 2x a week
• Drink at least 64 oz of water daily, more if you are exercising
• Eat your veggies! Get 5-7 servings daily.
• Avoid white, refined foods. Go for whole wheat and cut out sugar
• Cut out soda...lots of empty calories there!
• Don't skip meals - you will end up hungrier the next time you eat, and it slows the metabolism to a crawl

There are ways you might be hindering your progress...

SABOTAGE #1 – right foods, wrong quantities.Ok, so you eat healthy. You go for greek yogurt instead of the chocolate bar. You are accustomed to eating green leafy veggies, fresh fruit and lean meats like salmon, tuna, chicken, turkey and the occasional lean beef. If you are eating the right foods, but eating too much, you will not lose weight. It’s like your finances. You might be spending on good things, but overspending is overspending.Do you know how many calories you’re eating per day? Carbohydrates? Fat grams? Protein?

SABOTAGE #2 – right foods, “right quantities”, bad timing. If you’re either seeing very slow progress or not seeing progress and feel you’re within you’re correct caloric range and eating good foods, then time of day could ruin the best results you could have. Here’s some tips for those seeking to shed a few pounds.- Don’t eat simple carbs after 2pm, such as: rice, pasta, breads, sugars, honey, fruit juice, sweets. These foods are not bad, but they should be eaten earlier in the day, when your metabolism is running faster.- Eat a fast absorbing protein within 30 minutes of excercising such as a whey protein shake. - Realize that alcoholic drinks may not contain fat nor carbs, but to quote a University Anatomy professor, “It’s not what a food is, it’s what a food does that matters” and Alcohol easily converts to fat, hence the term “beer belly”.

SABOTAGE # 3 – Not taking ONE diet day-off per week.YOU GET CRAVINGS! We all do. You want to eat a Krispy Kreme donut, or you’d like to eat some pizza, you’re going to a party or on a date …who doesn’t… So the best way to deal with these craving is to have a once a week outlet. Let me be clear here, you should choose your day ahead of time and then get your junky eating done on that day (try not to go too crazy, just a little crazy, try not to go more than 600 Calories over your normal diet) .

Don't take several “OFF MOMENTS” during the week. This will RUIN, SABOTAGE and DESTROY your hard work and keep you at bay from your goals. Keep it to one day and one day per week only and then the rest of the week stick with the plan and you will be on your way.

SABOTAGE #4 – inconsistency. “Be consistent… nothing worthwhile is free or without cost” if you want to succeed, be consistent. Consistency is the key to financial, relational, scholastic, spiritual and fitness success.If someone isn’t getting the grades they desire by studying just 2 hours a week, what’s the solution? Study more and do it consistently, “hit & miss” never wins out, no matter how much talent/genetics/natural ability you’ve got. Remember the tortoise and the hare?The same principle applies in fitness, if going to the gym twice a week isn’t doing it for you, then go three or four times. But above all be consistent, because only then do even have a behavior pattern to measure and compare.

SABOTAGE #5 - not getting enough sleep.Proper rest is essential! if you're not getting 7-8 hours of good rest a night, it can affect your progress. Our metabolism is directly affected by whether or not we've rested properly *** this is ABSOLUTELY crucial to those wanting to add muscle. Muscles don't grow at bootcamp, they grow in rest after your workout**

Start 2013 off with a bang and Commit to be FIT! Texas Fit Chicks Boot Camp specializes in helping women lose weight. After learning how to eat clean and becoming consistent in my workouts, my hypothyroidism is under control and I'm able to stay at a healthy weight.

We love this list of 100 snacks that are under 100 calories! Snacking can sometimes un-do progress you've made during Boot Camp and we found these snacks perfect to stay on track!

Remember to always double check the labels of your chosen foods for calories and to always keep to moderation.

20 Olives

68 calories – If you like something to nibble with your treat glass of wine, why not steer away from the crisps and have some olives instead? At only 68 calories for 20 they’re a far healthier option. Olives are a great low calorie option that are also good for the liver.

14 Almonds

98 calories – A perfect snack for keeping at your desk when you need something to snack on, almonds is an ideal substitute for the savoury snacks people usually reach for and with heart protective monounsaturated fats (MUFA’s) and some vitamin b why wouldn’t you?

An apple

1 ‘Skinny Cow’ Ice Cream

100 calories – You can still enjoy a frozen treat and keep your ‘beach body’ thanks to these low fat iced desserts, and they come in a variety of tasty flavours, like berry and chocolate.

Miso soup

57 calories – You can buy miso soup in powder sachets so they make a quick and easy mid-afternoon snack for the office.

One ‘party size’ sausage roll

61 calories – pastry is no friend to a dieter, but luckily just one bite sized sausage roll won’t eat much into your calorie allowance.

10 salted peanuts

74 calories – Nuts are high in calories, but as a ‘Low GI’ food they release their energy slowly, so a small amount will keep hunger pangs at bay for a long time.

Three celery sticks stuffed with cottage cheese

Five ‘Werthers Originals’

100 calories – How long does it take to suck your way through five boiled sweets? It’ll be dinner time before you know it!.

30 grapes

100 calories – Last’s all morning and counts as one of your 5 a day. Grapes help in the treatment of anaemia, fatigue, arthiritis, gout, rheumatism and especially for recovery from illness.

Fun-size Milky Way

76 calories – “The red car and the blue car had a race… All red used to do was stuff it’s face; it ate everything it see’s from trucks to prickly tree’s… but good old blue he took the milky way!”

Tomato soup

10 Pringles

100 calories – At a party you can tuck into 10 Pringles without the guilt. However don’t be pulled into the addictive ‘once you pop you can’t stop’ slogan (pretty sure it’s not true).

Top 10 Tips to Make or break your Fitness Goals from Texas Fit Chicks trainer Aimee...

Top Ten Tips to Make it or Break your Fitness, from Texas Fit Chicks trainer Aimee...

I am excited to be able to share with you some of what I believe are basic, but fundamental tips to help you meet your weight loss or fitness goals.  These are minor tweaks to your lifestyle that could change your life forever.  

1. No Negative Talk!

This is one of my most important points, which is why I’ve made it first.  It is so cliché, but we really can do anything we set our mind to.  The word “can’t” is not allowed in my classes.  There may be “not yet”, but we can do anything we want; it’s just a matter of how bad we want it.  You have to believe that you can and that you will!  I am inspired on a daily basis by women that train with me that did not believe in themselves when they started.  Months later, not only do they whole-heartedly believe in themselves, but they also encourage others to do the same.  

2. Rest, Relax, and Recover!

If you want to lose weight, you must find the time to sleep.  When you do not get enough sleep or when you are stressed, your body increases hormones such as cortisol.  A heightened level of cortisol stands in the way of the body processing carbohydrates properly.  This leads to high blood sugar levels, which leads to high insulin levels, and insulin is what tells the body to store unused calories to fat!  Are you still with me?  

3. EAT!

Recently I had a client say, “Aimee, I don’t know what to do!  The scale isn’t moving and I’m eating hardly ANYTHING!”   I encouraged her to eat more of the right foods, and within the next month she dropped 8 pounds.  We have to eat or our metabolism will go dormant!  

Try to eat protein with every meal.  It will help preserve your muscle mass, encourage your metabolism to keep on cranking, and help you feel satisfied. Great sources of protein can be any lean meat, yogurt, cheese, nuts, or beans.  

4. Drink Water!

Drink water ALL.DAY.LONG!!  Sometimes we mistake thirst for hunger, so not only will water help your body cleanse itself, and keep you energized throughout your workouts, but it will help you eat less!  Win, Win!

5. Ditch Soda (even diet)!

This is just bad, bad, bad.  If you’re drinking regular soft drinks, know that the average drink has 10 teaspoons of sugar. YES!  10 TEASPOONS!  Do you know why it has 10 teaspoons?  To cover up the taste of phosphoric acid!  Phosphoric acid is commonly used for rust removal.  It does the same thing inside your body, causing tooth decay, osteoporosis, kidney disease, and kidney stones.  We do many things that contribute to our obesity epidemic in America, but if I had the ability to change one thing, it would be to eliminate soft drinks of any kind.  

6. Burn Calories Doing What You LOVE!

The term “working out” can seem overwhelming to some people.  “Going to the gym” can be intimidating.  Just get your body moving!  If it’s walking, house work, yard work, running or playing basketball with your kids, or even private time with your partner…it ALL burns calories and you will continue doing it if you love it!

7. Accountability Partner!

No matter what your goals are, share them with someone close to you.  If you need help with nutrition, tell them that you expect them to check in on you daily, or weekly to see how you’re doing.  If you need motivation going to the gym, ask a friend to go to classes with you or walk with you.  Set alarms on your phone to remind you to eat and drink water!  Whatever it takes, stop making excuses and make it happen!

8. Short Term Goals!

Don’t make your goals too big.  It doesn’t allow for as many victories in between, and those victories are what keep us going!  If your long-term goal is to lose 100 lbs., set small goals of 10 lbs. so you can celebrate each loss!  

9. Be Prepared!

Don’t let yourself get to the point where you will eat the first thing that you see!  We all know that feeling.  I can actually get to the point that I pass eating anything, and get to the “eating sounds painful” stage.  This is SO incredibly unhealthy.  Plan what you will eat for the day.  Always have raw almonds or a protein bar in your purse.  Something that will hold you over until you can find a healthy meal.  

10. Have FUN!

Life is too short to not enjoy every bit of it.  Do things that you love, surround yourself with people that uplift you and bring the best out of you, and have the time of your life!

“Imagine That Day”

Imagine that day when you can finally say, “I did it!”  When you can say, “I never gave up, I never quit!”  Imagine that day when you win that gold medal, or reach your goal weight.  Where these moments of pain can turn into memories for the goal that you wanted to achieve.  It might take a long time to reach that moment, but as soon as you get there you will thank yourself for the rest of your life!  


Thank you for letting me share with you and I wish you the very best in your journey!
