What is the KETOGAINS® BOOTCAMP and what does it include?

Created by Luis Villaseñor and Tyler Cartwright, the KETOGAINS® BOOTCAMP is more than your typical training program: we offer a true learning experience.

The program includes:

  4. An 8-week training program with periodization for optimal muscle and strength gains.
  5. Access to the online Bootcamp support group, where you will have access to extra content such as Video Q&As, training form checks, motivation and support. It is here that you will interact with the coaches and other members of the program!

Who can participate in the KETOGAINS® BOOTCAMP?

Our program is for anyone who wants to improve their body composition, improve their health, increase muscle and strength, and acquire the knowledge needed to cultivate and maintain good lifestyle habits.

There is no ideal age or gender to participate in Bootcamp: we have people join from their early twenties to incredible people who have improved their health in their seventies!!!*

Likewise, there is also no required level of fitness or knowledge in training: we will teach you to adjust everything depending on your current lifestyle and situation..

*If you are under 18 years, we require a parent/guardian signature. 

Who cannot participate in the KETOGAINS® BOOTCAMP?

Potential members who have been diagnosed as having Long QT Syndrome, several other significant health conditions, or who are not currently cleared by a physician for exercise are, unfortunately, not well-suited for the Bootcamp program.

If you are also an advanced athlete and require a fully personalized training program, we are happy to work with you on 1:1 coaching as well. For personalized training, please refer to 1:1 coaching 

For those not cleared to exercise, please refer to our Fasttrakk program.

Is the program only for people who follow a Ketogenic Diet?

The KETOGAINS® Protocol draws its principles from the Paleo/Primal guidelines, and so we recommend that our clients follow the program in order to achieve optimal results.

Time after time, our most successful clients are the ones that let us coach them while they follow the program as intended. However, our recommendations are just that – recommendations. The protocol is based on countless research studies, academic textbooks, and experience with thousands of clients.

That being said, we do help some of our clients as they become fitter and healthier to expand their diet and we frequently migrate those individuals into a more low-carb paleo-like diet.

Can I enroll in the program if I follow a different Diet?

1. Vegetarian: If you eat at least some eggs and fish, there won’t be any issue.

2. Vegan: this makes a low carb approach and adherence to the program extremely difficult, so preferably get in touch with us via email before enrolling.

3. Other dietary preferences: please enquire via email as well.

How do you personalize the KETOGAINS® BOOTCAMP experience?

We tailor your macronutrient and caloric recommendations in order to help you reach your goals.

However, the training program is not fully personalized as everyone in the program will follow the same training routine, with some modifications and adjustments depending on your level of fitness and available equipment.

Is every KETOGAINS® BOOTCAMP exactly the same?

Every KETOGAINS® BOOTCAMP experience is unique in order to keep things fresh and engaging.

The training part of the program is totally new and different but coherent and intentional across the entire year: different exercises, different movements, different patterns, but the same goal.

Do I have to connect at set times/days to follow the program?

Not at all! We have clients join from all over the world in different time zones; we also have coaches from all over the world and are basically online 24/7.

However, everyone trains and follows along at their own pace and availability within the duration of the 8-week program.

How long does the KETOGAINS® BOOTCAMP last?

The KETOGAINS® BOOTCAMP lasts for 8 consecutive weeks; it has a set start and ending date. It is not possible to “pause” a Bootcamp and return at a later date.

How often is there a new KETOGAINS® BOOTCAMP?
