Motivated Fitness is taking it outside! This two week OUTDOOR Bootcamp will meet for group workouts on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 6-7am inside the stadium at Moakley Park. Due to Covid-19, we are limiting the capacity of participants, not sharing equipment, and keeping a safe distance between people throughout our workouts. If you do not have dumbbells we will have a limited amount that you could potentially borrow for the duration of the bootcamp. On top the in-person workouts you will also have access to two zoom workouts per week (Mon & Wed at 6am), and a weekly strategy email on Sundays as well.  You can learn more here!
