About Us
My name is Dustin Maher and I am a certified fitness professional in Madison, WI and the creator of Fit Fun Bootcamps™, MamaTone Fitness™, Fit Moms For Life™, and Got Core™. I am 27 years old and absolutely love my job as a personal trainer/fitness instructor/writer/motivational speaker/and teacher.
I created Fit Fun Bootcamps in May 2008 because I wanted to reach many more people than personal training would allow me to do. It also allowed a way for every person who wanted, to get personal training results, to do so and in a very affordable way. But the biggest reason why I created Fit Fun Bootcamps was because it flat out gets results! The #1 reason why so many people have such dramatic results with out program is because of the tight, cohesive community that is formed. With community comes change in lifestyle, change in lifestyle creates new habits. For me, this has been the most satisfying part of the Fit Fun Bootcamp experience. America provides every temptation and every excuse to be fat and lazy, so it takes a strong group to help keep everyone on track. We stay motivated and pumped up together!
When you decide to join Fit Fun Bootcamp, realize you aren’t just taking a fitness class, but are joining a community that will support, encourage, and build each other up! So if you aren’t willing to be an active participant, please don’t sign up.
Classes I teach:
West side: MWF 5:30 AM and 6:15 AM
McFarland T/H 5:30 AM and 6:15 AM,
I can’t do this alone: Meet my incredible staff of instructors!
