It's John Spencer Ellis' cash cow...that's about all I know...and he was on an episode of the "Real Housewives of Orange County" trainin' 'em...

I have no knowledge of how "great" or "not great" it is...I just feel that bootcamps all of a sudden became THE thing for trainers to do...and people jumped on this and started putting together marketing and promotion "services" for those wanting to launch 'em.

I personally don't think anyone who has the know-how and desire to go through with launching "their" program needs to ride on someone else's coattails...maybe i'm an idiot in that thinking, lol...I dunno...I just would rather be my own "entity."

I'm a little over bootcamps myself, so perhaps i'm not the best one to comment on this topic!

I've seen these things, not very good. The trainers that use them are usually lazy and don't know what they are doing.

Alright, I don't mind a little self-promotion every now and then, but you are bordering on spamming by trying to draw everyone over to your new forum. If you have something to share, do it here and quit trying to syphon off my members. It's not very effective anyway. I can tell you about how to do that if you go here: www.jpknowsalldamarketingsecrets.com
