I call this my "non-boot camp-y boot camp where they don't yell at you."
I have never been an athlete and, outside of spastic dancing with friends, have never enjoyed exercise. I'm one of those people who has a gym membership for years and goes twice. When I joined this program in September, I expected one of those Rocky montages where my body would be transformed through blood, sweat, and tears, This was not the beat down and body punishment that I expected. Instead, I've learned to be kinder to myself, to laugh while moving, to enjoy soreness, and to give and receive

I signed up for this class just looking for a different physical challenge, to keep my fitness interesting, and got so much more than I expected.
I started finding myself looking forward to waking up early to go to this class (very uncharacteristic for me) because of the work we do to explore the mental & emotional relationship first with fitness and the body, but then also extending into other applications in life.
I leave the class feeling like I got a good workout, connected with really fantastic people, and excited about exploring a new attitude and approach to various situations.

This is my 5th session (I think. I'm losing count) of Embody Awesome and I'm still loving it. It's constantly evolving and expanding the breadth and level of fitness and mindfulness training it offers. It has connected me to my body, my environment and my community and I can honestly say it's made me an all-around better human being. I love going to the park in the morning to do something for myself that is so positive and uplifting. The people are great, the leaders are passionate and knowledgable and it's unlike any other "bootcamp" out there. I hate to

I have been working with Eka as my life coach and finally had the opportunity to experience his Superhero Bootcamp. I found it so helpful to combine concepts of self-empowerment with physical practices. Combining the two creates synergy and even greater effectiveness. I was also happy to be connected to a community of people who are interested in enhancing physical and emotional strength. I felt very supported by this aspect of the program. During the time that I was doing the boot camp I was busier than ever in my own acupuncture practice. I feel like Superhero Bootcamp kept my energy and attitude

One additional comment...Eka and Sariah really know their stuff. Great pieces of information on the connection between the physcial, emotional, and mental aspects of the workout and how that can be applied in every aspect of life. This is reinforced in every session which helps to integrate these concepts, real time.

I've been doing life coaching sessions with Sariah for the past few months, and I have to say that the experience of working with her has promoted radical positive changes in my life, so much so that I wanted to share my experience and encourage others to work with her as well!
Working with Sariah has helped me make HUGE gains in my overall life satisfaction, career, finances, and marriage. When we first started, I was a freelance designer struggling to find the balance between work, life and money, wanting to feel both creatively fulfilled and financially free, but feeling mostly stressed

I've done two sessions of Superhero bootcamp with Eka, Sariah, and Murial. It's a solid 8 week program, very well structured and presented. The vision is to align your goals and beliefs with physical training and breath to experience a unified growth process.
I can say that for me their approach is really helpful and made a big difference in my life. Eka and Sariah have a lot of integrity and honesty and that permeates the entire experience. They are highly motivated by their student's success in a very genuine way, and that's inspiring. I've gotten a lot of value from

I am not a fitness/gym/bootcamp kind of person, but I have frequently pursued ways to move my body and feel more IN it. still, I'm much more of the "read a book in bed and then watch my favorite tv show" type.
the workouts weren't as scary as the 6:30am part. I work freelance and generally my business hours are 10-6 or later, so waking up that early was possibly the biggest barrier. I actually LOVED it, particularly the part where I could just check off "WORK OUT" from my to-do list before 8am.

I'm a trainer myself, and decided to take this bootcamp because of its metaphysical component and awesome theme.
I got great workouts and had a lot of fun. The workouts were a bit easy for me, but I've been doing fitness stuff forever. Remember it is a NOVICE bootcamp. I could have signed up for the advanced one, but wanted to check this one out first.
It had a great balance of core, upper, and lower body exercises. What made the camp really unique was the was they incorporate envisioning goals into the training. I've never seen that before anywhere.

I really enjoyed this bootcamp - I questioned it before going based on the superhero theme, but it turned out to play more of a metaphorical role which worked just fine.
I loved starting the day outdoors with a supportive group. It is more than just physical exercise; they simultaneously exercise your will and your spirit, working on your whole person and not just the body factor.
The reason for not giving a full five stars:
1. I wish it would have been an hour and 15 minutes instead of an hour. There is at least a total of 15 minutes taken on warm-up and closing circles which is good

If you are on the fence about whether to sign up for Superhero Bootcamp, DO IT!
When I signed up I was pretty sure that bootcamp was going to be an ordeal. Getting up before dawn to go sweat sounded like horrible torture, but I wanted to get back in shape and I figured I'd come out the other side feeling proud of myself. I was shocked to learn that not only am I capable of a rigorous early morning workout, but I love it! By 7:30 am, the workout was over, and I felt like I'd already won my day.
Outdoor exercise is so much better than the gym! And Eka and Sariah really made it fun.

The combination of physical and mental training was very powerful. The bootcamp combines simple visualization exercises with short, quite intensive Tabata-style workouts. Eka and Sariah were able to work really well with a diverse group, which I would have thought would be difficult but seemed easy in their hands. I was surprised how much the workshop effected me. Aside from helping with fitness overall, I noticed improvement in my posture, and in my sense of resilience at work. Like others who've reviewed it, I only wish it had lasted longer!

So my hair appointment ran late and in order to get the BART home in time for my son's bedtime story, I had to run five San Francisco city blocks, carrying two heavy bags, and get down two flights of stairs in 10 minutes or less to make the train.
Did I make it?
I'm writing this review from the BART platform, where I have three minutes to spare and I'm only slightly winded.
This superhero stuff really works. "Goodnight Moon" here I come. Thanks Eka and Sariah!!

The Superhero Bootcamp is epic!
When I joined I was really afraid it would be too much. I haven't exercised in many years, and I was sure I will throw up after running for more than a couple of minutes.
But Eka and Sariah and their wise professionalism created a great experience for me - balancing support and challenge. Gradually building up the challenge. Feeding us with tons of encouragement and inspiration, and generally helping us manifest the superheroes we are.
I wish it was longer than 6 weeks.

Eka and Sariah's bootcamp has been a fantastic experience for me. I'm a morning person, but the thought of starting exercise at 6:30 am seemed daunting, however, once the boot camp began it was became an easy rhythm to my week. It felt GREAT to have exercised before I even got to work and didn't have to have that naggy feeling of "I've got to go to the gym tonight...blahhhh...." Additionally, for anyone out there who has injuries and the thought of doing a boot camp scares them - Don't worry! This boot camp isn't about pushing yourself beyond safe limits

I love boot camp! I first signed up thinking purely about my body. After two seasons of boot camp, my body is physically much stronger and fit. But the most important thing that has happened is it has changed my perspective on exercise. In this group of wonderful supportive people I have had interior- soul growth along with exterior toning of body. All in an environment that is safe and fun with great teachers. I can't wait till next season!

Why this boot camp is different and really rocks it...
1.It is about vital fitness, not just training to be physically fit, but much better than that, this boot camp trains the mind to change the old habit patterns by using exercise as a vehicle to focus your mind state in an intentional direction. ANd, here's the best part -
IT WORKS! It carries through the day and then into the week. I'm sayin - this is a game changer for my day, week, life.
2. It is a positively oriented experience. It is raising awareness of myself with a group of other people early in the morning in the park.
