Transformation Tuesday
Guest blog by Transformation Tuesday Bootcamper, and overall winner of our 30 Day Team Transformation Challenge: Mario Monteleone
Back in July 2013 I saw some friends of ours attending the LiveFit Newport Richey Boot Camp. I was excited to see what this Boot Camp had to offer.
Just based on pictures alone I could tell this is the kind of training I had been looking for.
My wife and I went on a cruise for her birthday on August 1, and I knew that once we got back I wanted to join and get started. I also had a business trip planned for that first week back as well. After my return is when the party started!
Unfortunately due to lack of exercise and not eating correctly I gained more weight than I should have. When I started Boot Camp I weighed in at an embarrassing 234 pounds.
I have just completed my third month of this process I now weigh 197 pounds. I have lost 37 pounds and who knows how many total inches !!
I have gained an extraordinary amount of muscle and strength. All of the physical results were somewhat expected as I am a very strong mental person and when I want something I work my ass off until I get it!!
The one thing I did not expect but was so pleasantly welcomed was all of the new awesome friends I have made along the way.
When you wake up at 6:30 in the morning and you can’t wait until 8 o’clock in the morning comes around so you can get your ass kicked by Derek that’s what it’s about.
Then went 5:30 rolls around your legs and body are sore as hell but your mind says, ” let’s go round two”!
All of this without lifting weights and without doing stationary cardio.
This has been an incredible experience!
I 100% suggest attending to anyone who wants to make a life changing decision!!
I know for 100% certain I will achieve every goal that I set through Derek’s vigorous training. It’s just a matter of putting in the time and effort that it takes to achieve those goals.
The training and the guidance is all there, you just got to do the work!

Mario is not only a fitness success, but together with his wife Alice are incredible role models to their young son Mario Jr who joins them at bootcamp and even attends Jr Bootcamp himself. The excitement that little Mario has in his eyes and his voice as he roots for mom and dad to beat a new challenge is a priceless lesson that will stay with him for life.
Mario and Alice were referred by their friends, The Crosswhites, who were last week’s Transformation Tuesday winners.
Thank you Shawn and Sara for bringing another “Power Couple” to our bootcamp family!
