    Lou

    Certifications / Education:
    Business Management

    Experience / Background:
    An Avid weight lifter for years, I started the Police Academy and was introduced to Cross fit. Since then I have been hooked! At times the workouts seem impossible to do, but that is part of the process making your body do something your mind thinks it can't. I now compete in Cross fit competitions and charity events held locally, and I have hopes of making it to the Cross fit games in California in 2011 where the winner is labeled "the fittest man on earth".

    Expertise:
    I'm a big stickler for form. Too many times egos get in the way of form, not in my classes...I won't allow it. Form comes first, I don't care how light you have to go on the weight. I have studied and practiced the proper forms for weight lifting exercises and that's where I bring in the expertise. I can teach anybody how to do the movements, age doesn't matter. You only have to be able to trust and listen to me.

    Motivation:
    Growing up I was the opposite of most, I was an extremely skinny kid that got teased.....sounds weird huh? As a result of this I started to hit the gym with bad intentions, I wanted to get so big that I looked like a science experiment gone bad. Thankfully, I grew out of that phase and now I'm comfortable being and working out as an athlete.

    Philosophy:
    Abs are made in the kitchen not the gym. Put down the CHEETOS and do some burpees.

    Rick

    Certifications/Degree:
  • Colorado Certified Paramedic

  • Will complete a registered nursing degree in early 2010

  • Experience/Background:
  • Started as a camper with Genesis and was so enthusiastic and committed we promoted him to instructo

  • Expertise:
  • Rick loves to kill your ABS - Disco ABS gets great reviews!
  • Knowledge of both nutrition and metabolism

  • Motivation:
    Three years ago Rick found himself at a place of zero motivation for fitness. He had spent 5 years getting in shape and then lost the desire to work out. He knew something would have to change or he would be back to a size 38 waist within a year or two.

    He Googled “Fat Camps in Denver” and Genesis came up. He didn’t know what to expect but signed up for a 5 week session at Capitol Hill. Looking back at life’s decisions he really thinks signing up was easily in his top 10 best decisions. The group environment made him strive harder and being pushed beyond his maximum threshold became easier knowing others were struggling beside him.

    The first camp ended and he kept signing up. Rick saw the change in his body starting to occur within 10 weeks. He felt strong and nothing made him feel alive like running the steps of the capital. Rick wants to help you reach that feeling of “Alive” that he found.

    Specializations/Philosophy:
  • Anybody can get fit if they are willing to put in the time and effort. Fitness is a lifestyle that requires balanced nutrition and at least 5 hours of exercise every week.
  • “Diets DON’T work, healthy eating and exercise DO!”
  • Ryan

    Certifications/Degree:
  • BFA Illustration Mountain College of Art and Design
  • 5th Place 3rd Grade Spelling Bee

  • Experience/Background:
  • Genesis camper turned instructor
  • Owned a lemonade stand for almost 3 hours

  • Expertise:
  • Workouts emphasizing balance, agility and core strength
  • Metabolic and Nutritional knowledge
  • Amazingly adept at chewing gum and tap dancing at the same time

  • Motivation:
  • “The first boot camp I took with Genesis changed my life in a way I never thought possible. Though I'd always been "health conscious" and regularly worked out, it wasn't until completing my first camp that I began to see and feel the changes in my body I'd always wanted. After more than a year of consecutive boot camps, more and more pieces have fallen into place. Each little epiphany making a positive change in my health and life overall. My motivation is sharing my knowledge and experience and getting people to the point where I am: Discovering that achieving optimal health is no mystery. All it involves hard work and the will.”

  • Specializations/Philosophy:
  • “It's not only the 1 hour you put in for your workout, it's the other 23 in the day. Make good choices with your nutrition. This combined with keeping up on your workouts will help you achieve your goals faster than you could ever imagine.”
