"Joining boot camp has been so uplifting and amazing. The the people in the camp feel like friends you have known forever. The work outs have helped me so much not just physically but mentally .. I know that in the last 6 weeks I am a better person and I just want more! Thanks so much Tamatha for the awesome workouts and always pushing us for MORE!!"

"One thing that sets you apart from other programs I have tried is that you encourage without harsh judgement. You don't make people feel guilty when they eat "bad" foods but suggest other things things they can do and encourage them not to wait for the next day or week or whatever to get back on track. Support and accountability...you rock!"

"Coming out of the pandemic, I was looking for a way to become healthier and stronger. I started going to the gym again a bit but didn’t stick with it. Then I found boot camp. I have noticed so many changes since the beginning. I’m noticeably stronger, I eat healthier, and I have a more positive outlook in life. I absolutely love this program. Tamatha McIntosh Crowson is amazing at leading these wonderful workouts, meal prep events, and great discussions on nutrition and overall health. This group of people is so amazingly supportive and fun. Excited for many more camps to come!"

When I first found out about boot camp I thought, "I have to do this!" I wanted to get back into my jeans from my high school years! However, I was scared! I did not think my body would make it through one night of camp but I did! It is amazing how in 6 weeks my body has changed so much as well as my taste buds! I continue to feel better and enjoy exercising. I can not thank Tamatha enough for such a great program and not giving up on me.

The Nutrition
At Boot Camp Challenge® we are not selling you a particular diet and don't ask you to take a bunch of pills and supplements. We focus on the foundations of good nutrition: protein, healthy carbs and fat, vegetables and fruit, water and whole foods. And we don't ask you to give up your favorite foods!
Because nutrition is such an essential part of the health equation AND because for many of us, it's the hardest part, we make nutrition guidance and education a top priority! You'll receive a free macro plan and 17-page nutrition report with tons of information and tips, recipes, guides, meal prep classes and workshops and more!

I’ve been going to Cape Bootcamp for 8 years now. I love the workouts-they’re always different, love my Bootcamp family-yes you will make new friends & I love how I feel after a great workout! Cape Boot Camp Challenge is for everyone! You start where you are-Tam shows all levels on every exercise. Everybody is so supportive. Give it a try, you won’t regret it! You may regret not trying it sooner. 🥰

I am very happy that I joined Boot Camp Challenge. I have actually been planning healthy meals for the week and sticking with it. This is working so much better than anything I have done in the past. Thank you Tamatha,for running this Boot Camp and thank you to all the Campers that are both encouraging and inspiring!

I had horrible postpartum depression after my pregnancy - tons of eating, crying, sleeping and doing nothing physical. I got in a rut that I couldn’t get out of.
Fast-forward to Boot Camp. I am finally starting to feel like my old self again. I feel strong like I can push myself.. and I’m not hurting all the time like I was. I am FINALLY back in a good mindset too. It’s been a LONG 4 years in a not great place. I am so thankful to be climbing out of that rut.
Thank you for what you do! ❤️ it makes a huge difference in people's lives.. far beyond the workouts.

I started Boot Camp Challenge in 2017 with my sister and it is the best thing I have done for myself in a long time. On top of losing weight, my anxiety seems to be better controlled, and I have more energy, which helps because I work crazy hours life of a nurse right?! I don’t know what I would do without Tamatha, my bootcamp family and their motivation
Meet Your Trainer
Hi! I'm Tamatha!
In 2016 I launched the first session of Cape Boot Camp challenge with 6 people enrolled. I had no idea what to expect - but ten years and hundreds of campers later, we are still gong strong!
A little about me...
I graduated from Mississippi State University with a degree in Fitness Management in 1993. For the next 20 or so years I worked in the fitness industry in various capacities: Health Promotions Coordinator; Dance Fitness Instructor, Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, Gym Manager, and Virtual Coach are among the hats I have worn.
Over the years I began to realize that getting fit wasn't just about working out and eating healthy, it was also about mindset, boundaries, self-love, confidence, time management, past experiences, fears, and so much more.
In Cape Boot Camp Challenge, I take these concepts along with nutriton and fitness and do my best to deliver an experience that trains the whole person - physical and mental. I see each camper as a unique individual, yet important to the group as a whole! My philosophy is that fitness training and coaching is a relationship, and I'm dedicated to uncovering and nurturing your strengths, while working with you to overcome any weaknesses.
My Personal Mission Statement:
II consider it my life's mission to awaken the brave and courageous parts of people and encourage them to do the scary thing; reminding them throughout that they are capable of more than they ever imagined....and I do it all from the platform of fitness.
Thank you for your interest in Boot Camp Challenge, I hope you'll join us and allow me to walk alongside you on your journey to the best YOU possible!
