BOUNDLESS

My trial Boundless session was in July 2025. I had just moved to OC and wanted to regain some muscle lost due to age. Until then, I was generally exercising about 2-3x/week on my own - 1/2 mile swims or 5-mile bike rides. Never had I ever touched a barbell. During my first Boundless session, unable to do squats with a 15-lb bar, I did body-weight squats with Coach Kevin’s guidance. That first session (and the next several ones) left me extremely sore for the next few days; I was getting down stairs like a toddler.
BUT, I was so happy that despite my various joint problems, I was able to even get so sore from exercising! Once weekly work-outs progressed (7 months later) to 4-5x/week. Coach Kevin (and Coaches Allison, Frank, and Mark) seemingly effortlessly scales various exercises based on my abilities and limitations. I can now back squat my body weight and for the first time in my >50 years of life can do pull-ups. AND for some reason, I have even less joint pain compared to several months ago! Undoubtedly, this progress is less about my effort and more about Kevin’s expertise in creating the work-out routines and his individualized coaching.
The Boundless community is very kind and encouraging. Kevin values each individual and knows everybody and their family members by name! :) Many people in Boundless have helped me learn the lifts and exercises. They even notice my progress before I do!
Kevin incorporates Nutrition Challenges every so often. I’m currently enjoying learning about macros alongside several other members. :) And there are events and other programs I have yet to enjoy.
My friend once said that going to the gym is bad for her soul. That’s how I imagine a typical gym - a smelly, soulless place. Boundless is the opposite - a soulful gym in a great outdoor setting.
