[Christina Lucy]

Orange County, CA - Code Pink Boot Camp is an outdoor fitness program designed for women that began in January 2008 with one early morning and mid-morning camp in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA. One short, recession filled year later, Code Pink Boot Camp has grown to 29 camps covering 3 states, CA, AZ and HI.

Christina Lucy is the founder of Code Pink Boot Camp. She accepts no accolades for this success, yet promotes it as being a plan from God. “After reaching a low point, and realizing I wasn’t making sound decisions, I turned the wheel over to God to lead me onto my destined path.

Christina Lucy began teaching group exercise in 1983; her summer between high school and college. She continued to gain education in the fields of fitness and nutrition. Aside from Code Pink Boot Camp, she also created the EZ8 Running Program. EZ8 is a running camp for women with a goal to run an eight minute mile with ease. Many of her runners have gone from run/walking a 13 min. mile to competing and finishing the Ironman.

Boot Camps are all the craze, but Code Pink Boot Camp is unique. It is designed specifically for women, yet it is a serious workout. Upon occasion they offer a co-ed camp, and even the men find it to be challenging yet incredibly fun. They promote camaraderie in a very safe and nurturing environment. Yet, they get dirty and sweat, too!

The main difference is they offer a result driven program with first-rate customer service. If someone has a tight schedule, they work with them to accommodate a program that will work for them. Everyone’s goals and limitations are taken into consideration, and all achieve success.

The boot camps are very affordable. All depending on the program choice, a camper will spend anywhere from $8.00 to $16.00 per hour. The camps are small enough that each person is receiving personalized training. Considering the average personal training session is $70-$100 that is quite a deal!

Each camp includes strength training, cardio, and flexibility training. They also include nutrition consultation for each camper. Prior to camp, assessments provided include checking of the blood pressure, body-fat composition, circumference measurements and weight to show an actual measurement of success after completing the 4-week session. There is also a secret! Those attending feel it, however, no one except the trainers know what it is!


Most campers reduce their body-fat by 3-5% in 20 days. However, some have been exceptional reaching the 8% mark. Up to 12 lbs. are reduced on the scale, and 3-4 inches can be minimized in the waist and hips alone. Muscle is gained and self-confidence sky rockets!

The next 4-week Code Pink Boot Camp begins January 12th. To find more information you are invited to visit their website www.CodePinkBootCamp.com or you may call Christina Lucy directly at 714-329-6284 or reach her by email at [e-mail]
