I’ve been attending classes since 2015. I’ve never managed to consistently workout like this before, but something just clicked with KBC – Great instructors, great students, fresh air – they are the real deal. My teenage daughter now wakes up early on Saturdays and joins me! I also like that they encourage good nutrition without eliminating fun. Kelly encourages an 80/20 approach. Clean and good 80% of the time. So realistic!!!
I’ve been a member at Kelly’s Bootcamp since 2015, and I can’t say enough good things about it. The workouts are phenomenal – they add new formats and change things up so it’s always interesting and fun. When I’m busy with kids or work, I can join in the same workout classes over Zoom which is a great bonus. The coaching programs are an awesome benefit and I’ve learned so much about healthy habits and nutrition. And I love the people – the top-notch instructors and the supportive community! KBC is the best!
Kelly’s Bootcamp aged me backward! I started KBC 7 years back after deciding to do something about my health. I was in the worst shape of my life and working out 1 day a week at a local gym was not working! I started Saturday-only workouts at KBC for a few weeks. That habit stuck with me, and I slowly expanded to working out on weekdays. KBC instructors are amazing, and they keep the workout formats so much fun for everyone! Finally, the KBC community is the best ever and so supportive! Join KBC today!

“The KBC community is everyone’s hype man that everyone needs in their lives.” -Nicole Foley
This interview with Nicole was a personal highlight for me. A great coach is someone who believes in you before you believe in yourself. They are deeply committed to continuous improvement and firmly believe that anything is possible. Nicole, though just starting her journey, is already an accomplished coach. She has transformed her experiences—both good and bad—into valuable lessons that have shaped her as a leader and a coach.
What`s one piece of advice from the KBC coaches that has stuck with you throughout your fitness journey?
It may not necessarily be advice, but you (kelly) always believe in others more than they believe in themselves. And that is the same story with me. Every conversation we have you are telling me how I would be great at this or how I would be great at that especially when I don’t think so. (becoming an instructor, starting a youth program).

Episode #4 Title: Find Your People: —Your Essential Hype Team for Life
#fitness #community #nutrition #personal growth #winter challenge #kbc #hypeteam #startbeforeyouareready
Meet Sarah, one of the most humble and kind superheroes on the planet. Her story has pulled on my heart strings and to see this happy ending for this family is a reminder that anything is possible with love. 💓💙💓💓
In July 2017, I heard those words for the first time that no one ever wants or expects to hear. At that time, my life was the best, and suddenly, I got a huge kick in my gut. This diagnosis was not part of my plan for myself, my family or our future.
Fast forward to October 2024, Sarah and Chris just welcomed the most precious twin girls into their family last month. This strong family of 6 has persevered through very challenging times and through it all, they have continued to prioritize their own health and workouts.
“But this is how God grows our faith. If things always went perfectly fine and there were no ups and downs in life we wouldn’t need God. But, that’s not real. It’s during these difficult times when we grow closer to God that he uses that to grow our faith. For that, I am thankful. So, my best advice is to cling to your faith and your family. Surround yourself with friends that love you and are going to support you. I am always reminded by strangers that I`m so young when they hear of what I`ve gone through. Please always do your checks. None of us are too young.”

Julie
Julie has been getting stronger with KBC since 2010!
In 2015, Julie discovered a lump in her breast during a regular self examination. A follow up mammogram confirmed the lump was cancer. The breast surgeon told her the lump had likely been in her body for years, but had been missed on mammography.
Julie once shared that she asked her oncologist at her very first visit how long she needed to wait to be considered a survivor, assuming she’d be told a benchmark such as five years. Her oncologist said, “Today, Julie. Today you are that survivor”. Her words had a profound impact…and can be applied in so many other life situations as well. The day you start fighting, that’s the day you become a survivor.
Julie credits her faith, family and friends for carrying her through treatment and healing process. Following her treatment, she joined Camp U, KBC’s very first small group, to help regain strength, normalcy and confidence in her health and body. Julie is now a regular in the morning classes. She is strong, resilient and inspiring. We’re so glad she is part of our community; she makes us better in every way!

Sue has been getting better with KBC since 2013! When Sue shares her breast cancer story, one thing that really resonates is how far treatment has come in the 15 years since she was diagnosed.
Sue was diagnosed at age 42 with Stage 1 Triple Negative Breast Cancer. Her mother had been diagnosed with breast cancer at the same age. At the time, Sue had gone through genetic testing which all came back negative. Over the next several months, she went through surgery and chemotherapy. One year later, the cancer had returned in the exact same spot. She endured 33 rounds of radiation treatment and has been cancer free ever since…15 years!
Sue seems to be aging backwards! She lives life to the fullest and is a joy to be around. In addition, she is a wonderful resource and is always willing to talk with others as they begin their breast cancer journey. We’re so glad Sue is part of our community!

KK
KK’s been getting better with KBC since the very beginning in 2008! Since her diagnosis and treatment, she has been a wealth of knowledge, a shoulder to cry on, the biggest cheerleader for others finding themselves on their own breast cancer journey.
KK was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer. a fast spreading and aggressive cancer. As a mom of three young boys at the time, she strove to keep their daily lives as “normal” as possible throughout her treatment. And that included her early morning workouts at the LOT! She inspired many with her grit and consistency!
For many of us, KK was one of our first close friends who had been diagnosed with breast cancer. She took us along with her on her journey and weathered it with determination and grace. She educated us and continues to be a resource for the community. We are grateful for her willingness to share her journey and her steadfast support of our other warriors. KK says her Superhero word is “Fortunate”…we feel the same about her!

Ginger has been getting better with KBC on and off since 2013! Her early-stage breast cancer diagnosis came in Spring 2023 after a 3rd party quality control when her films were double checked. She initially kept her diagnosis on the down low while she went through surgery and radiation. By the end of radiation, she was struggling with not only her diagnosis, but also the diagnosis of one of her best friends just two months after hers. Enter KBC - she was encouraged to attend the Breast Cancer Awareness event where she found she was not alone in her recovery and there is a community of supporters and warriors at KBC. She has since joined the small group Level Up, in addition to attending other classes. Ginger said, "I found a place I never knew I needed, but am so thankful to be a part of now". Join us this Saturday, October 26 at 7 am or 8 am at Dulles Landing for this year`s Breast Cancer Awareness Bootcamp. This family friendly event is open for all levels!

When life throws you a curveball, it’s okay to take a moment to breathe. 💕
In December 2023, Melissa faced a breast cancer diagnosis that turned her world upside down. Overwhelmed by information and emotions, she learned a valuable lesson she wants to share:
‘Allow yourself to process the diagnosis. It’s OK to feel a mix of emotions - shock, fear, anger, and even hope.’
Diagnosed with invasive carcinoma, Melissa wants newly diagnosed women to know they’re not alone in this journey. Your feelings are valid, and it’s important to give yourself time to adjust.
Remember, every warrior’s path is unique. Embrace your emotions, seek support, and take it one day at a time. 💪🎀
@melissa.wallace03 has been getting better with KBC since 2013. When Melissa wants something she finds a way to make it happen. She was at the top of her game with her fitness when she got her diagnoses and I know it helped her fight.
"Resilience. It helped me to keep pushin forward, no matter how tough the road was going to be. It reminded me that every challenge I was going to face was an opportunity to become a better version of myself. I now know can embrace uncertainty & face the future with confidence, knowing that have the strength to overcome whatever comes my way."
