EXPERT INSTRUCTION
While other trainers throw around the term boot camp to describe their programs, Lori Patterson actually trained soldiers while serving in the U.S. Army. Lori is also an ACE, ASCM, AFAA, and WellCoach certified personal trainer. Boot Camp Challenge programs combine authentic military conditioning with the principles of safety and science from the fitness industry, ensuring you a safe and effective workout. Lori will be with you every step of the way, giving you the tips you need to get the most out of your workout and the motivation to keep going no matter how tough it gets. 

A COMPLETE WORKOUT
The Boot Camp Challenge Program combines cardio, stretching, and muscular endurance training in each workout to help you lose fat, improve strength and endurance, and enhance your functional fitness. Basically, you will be building a better you, and with this circuit-style workout, you will do it faster than you could imagine. 

BEAT-SYNC
Boot Camp Challenge dynamically changes the beat of YOUR music to perfectly match your movements. Research shows that music distracts the brain during exercise and faster music causes people to accept and even prefer a greater degree of effort. This means you will work harder without trying (or without even feeling the difference), you will get better results from the increased effort, and most importantly, the time will fly by. 

DESIGNED AROUND YOU
Lori Patterson has worked with thousands of people and she knows how to safely and effectively guide anyone towards their goal. Whether you're a first time exerciser or an extreme fitness enthusiast looking for a challenge, BCC has the right program for you. Plus Boot Camp Challenge gives you control of your program. Change the exercises to match your equipment or simply pick your favorites. You can even turn the intensity down a bit when you're struggling or crank it up when you're ready for more, and Boot Camp Challenge adjusts your workout — and your music — on the fly.

### 4/5 — From Couch to Cut

*2021-05-12*

Couldn’t get in to this 5 years ago, tried it now to get rid of the Covid pounds while all the gyms and activities are closed. Finished the Beginner program and on to Intermediate, noticing a big difference and am always challenged. Modify as needed. Enjoy! It’s nice to have a fitness app you can buy and don’t have to subscribe to.

### 1/5 — Useless!!!!!

*2018-03-03*

DO NOT BUY THIS APP. I would give this negative stars if I could because this is deceptive!!!  It will work for a while, but then you won’t be able to get in. I used to really like this app but now Lolo did some sort of upgrade and I cannot even get into it. I paid for this app and not I cannot even get into it and there is not even anywhere on the login page to contact anyone for help! They make it so you cannot even get back in. You have to re purchase it!!!  DO DOT BUY THIS APP!!! Unless of course you don’t mind throwing your money away.

### 5/5 — Good little boot camp app!

*2017-10-21*

This boot camp app is simple but effective! You can pick your level, what equipment you have or don’t have, change the intensity, and switch the exercises if you don’t want to do certain ones. I love boot camp classes but I really can’t afford a gym membership and this is a great option for me. I’ve gotten a lot stronger and my body has definitely changed for the better. It works you up time wise to longer workouts each time you do it. I do it probably 2 times a week. If you’re looking for inexpensive way to workout and do a boot camp class, this it.

### 2/5 — Again, needs some changes

*2016-06-23*

This app needs work PLEASE! The exercises should be broken up differently, there's just no need to do one set of triceps ext (or others) for TWO minutes! I prefer more of a circuit style with more repetition of focus on muscle groups.

And even if put in settings that you have a variety of equipment it doesn't really include them in the workout. 

Also, when the trainer counts reps it results in the volume of your music going up & down, up & down. Keep the timing feature, maybe get rid of counting reps.
Thank you so much!

### 5/5 — 非常易用，有效的健身软件

*2016-02-22*

设置简单，不需要道具就能完成，一套动作做下来非常的舒服

### 4/5 — Does not link with My Fitness Pal

*2016-01-06*

Despite being advertised in the MyFitnessPal app and having directions for linking on the lolo website the linking option is not functional pending an update with no anticipated release date.
IN THEIR DEFENSE... Customer service offered me a refund on the app purchase once this was made known.  It was just a bit frustrating trying to link it assuming it was my device with the problem and not the app.  Probably should correct their website to display accurate information.
I am choosing to keep the app anyway because I am enjoying the extra push to work just a little bit harder every time.

### 4/5 — Myfitnesspal integration not available

*2015-11-23*

Myfitnesspal integration is not available at the moment, this was one of the reasons I bought it so a little disappointed. As a standalone application it's good.

### 3/5 — Had potential

*2015-11-14*

The workouts look like they had some potential but ended up being too repetitive and boring (amount of time spent on one move). I stopes using it after a few tries.

### 1/5 — Login required

*2015-10-17, version 2.0*

This app requires registration and login. You must consent to their privacy policy.

### 1/5 — Caiu

*2015-10-08*

Eu adorava esse App, mas aconteceu algo e ele está com uma queda de desempenho. Toda vez que abro agora ele pede pra logar e tem hora que fica tentando e não loga. Alternar app ele reinicia e tá perdendo o histórico de exercícios. Por favor ajeitem. Esse app era muito bom pra cair tanto assim.
