What we’re about
Over 1,600 individuals have participated in the FREE "Boot Camp in the Park". This is the perfect physical activity for all ages and fitness levels. In many cases, individuals just need a little motivation and encouragement to get started. You can join us every Saturday morning through mid-November. Come on out on Saturday mornings and join in the fun! Tell your friends, family members and co-workers. We invite the entire community to join us for the FREE "Boot Camp in the Park" Now in our 7th year!
35 weeks of FREE Boot Camp in the Park from mid-March - mid- November
In 2011 we set the Guiness World Record for the largest outdoor Circuit Training at a single venue right here in Centennial Park in Columbia, Maryland. But, it was never about the record. It was about encouraging individuals of all ages and physical ability to get active! The on-going FREE "Boot Camp in the Park" is supported and put on by We Promote Health, Inc., a local 100% volunteer organization in Howard County. Local trainer Brenda Von Rauntenkranz volunteers her time as head trainer. Participants show up on Saturday mornings for group fitness, comradery and connecting with others to build a healthy community.
