The History behind INERGY Kelly’s Bootcamp

When my father passed away from a rare neurological disease in 2008, I decided to do a fundraiser to support research. In November 2008, I was shocked by the number of people willing to join me for what I called “Black Friday Boot Camp” to support MSA.

Both the participants and I found exercising outdoors to be liberating and energizing. I quickly decided that this was something I wanted to try again. On March 1, 2009, I started my first Boot Camp Program. The objectives for my program were to get people to exercise (especially those that wouldn’t otherwise), make it affordable, require accountability, and have fun.

While my dad may not have looked favorably on working out in a parking lot, I know he would be proud of what I have accomplished. From his example, I learned to work hard, take risks, and, most importantly, do something you are passionate about. I love what I do, the people I have met, and the transformations that I have been able to share in. I also love knowing that my father gave me the power to begin such a significant venture.

The success of KBC grew, and I started to build a team of dedicated participants that exemplified what it meant to work hard and get better. As the KBC team gained experience and went on to get certified and trained as fitness and nutrition professionals, it was clear that we had more to offer our community. The team and I worked together to develop and coach a small group training program called Camp U that was to be the model for some of the possible offerings in the indoor space.

On May 3, 2017, we opened INERGY. In this unique indoor training studio, we offer a variety of classes and small group training programs at different times to meet people where they are in their journey to fitness. INERGY is everything I dreamed it to be and more. By increasing our offerings, we are reaching more people and becoming a one-stop shop with an amazing array of classes and programs.

So many of our long-time students have told us that working out with KBC is the best part of their day that in 2021 we adapted that as our new tagline.

We love our members so much and making them happy and healthy is truly a joy.
