G.U.T.S. Testamonials
Douglas Rudig, superintendent of Brookfield-LaGrange Park School
District 95 and GUTS Bootcamp veteran
"I tried working out by myself, but I failed," he said. "Friends who worked
their way through GUTS training thought it was wonderful. I thought the idea
was ridiculous but committed myself and became a recruit. I never worked so
hard in my life, nor did I ever feel so well when done. It's the best thing
I've ever done for myself."
Brenda Cresap, Lemont Park District Recreation Supervisor
"GUTS complements the district's physical exercise agenda. Each participant has
a degree of accountability toward teammates. The program is built on the
concept that when individuals work as part of a team, results are far greater
than those achieved when working individually."
Sarah King, Physical Education Teacher, Clarendon Hills Middle School
"The GUTS program is perfect for the middle school child. The kids are
disciplined while having fun at the same time."
