Get fit with intense Boston workouts

Its boot camp season in the Hub, when gyms and exercise instructors roll out hard-core programs to whip winter bodies into shape.

April, May and June are my busiest months, said Aaron Washburn, an instructor at OutFit Boston, one of dozens of outdoor boot camp meet-up groups in and around Boston. Students meet two to three days a week in either the early morning (as early as 5:30 a.m.), lunchtime or in the evening and usually take advantage of parks by doing pushups on benches, jogging and everything in between. However, some gyms, such as Equinox of Boston, offer boot camp-like groups indoors.

If youre trying to unleash your inner G.I. Joe or Jane, Boston has a lot to offer.

BEANTOWN BOOTCAMP

Beantown Bootcamp is one of the toughest get-in-shape programs in Boston. Were a mix of military-style fitness and things you would do if you were a post-college athlete, owner and instructor John Wayman said. Were definitely more hard-core.

At the Beantown Bootcamps headquarters at 90 Canal St., exercisers will do 10 to 15 minutes of dynamic stretching before setting out for Beacon Hill or the North End, where they combine running and sprinting with pushups, situps and other strength-building exercises, sometimes using kettle bells and other equipment. Annual membership: $140 per month for unlimited classes; month-to-month membership: $210. Most classes meet three days a week for four weeks. Current session began April 30; next session starts June 4.

This high-end gym has been adding boot camp-like classes for its members. Kristy DiScipio teaches MetCon3 classes short for metabolic conditioning; the number 3 represents the amount of energy systems being worked. We nicknamed this class the Fat Incinerator, DiScipio said. Its the highest intensity class we have in our main studio.
