"Lawrence really gets the mentoring thing. Attending 14 fitCamps (so far) with Lawrence Biscontini continues to be an awesome experience. Life after fitCamp for me includes: I have acquired several certifications which allow me to claim to be the most chronologically enriched indivdiual on the planet with SCW, ACE, AFAA certifications to name a few, the oldest persenter from SCW, International Council on Active Aging ICAA, AFC in Asia, IDEA, CanFitPro, a tv show spot series for Spirofit with several seated and standing workouts, starring in many on-demand instructor training dvds for #activeaging from scwfit.com, and I reversed my diabetes in the process, now living drug free. How could YOU not attend fitCamp? Let Lawrence open doors for YOU."
- Bernadette C. O'Brien, Aqua Stars America Facebook Creator and Aqua Instructor, New Jersey
"Attending FitCamp with Lawrence in PR was fun, relaxing, but also hard work. We have busy days of fun, and I definitely can say that I returned from FitCamp a different instructor in terms of the way I taught, the way I attracted more clients, and even the way I use social media like Facebook!"
- Deirdra Martinez, Zumba Goddess, Los Angeles
"...fitCamp gave me the encouragement and knowledge on how to develop and market my programming, including my own program in the growing Active Aging market. Since attending fitCamp, I have started spreading my program through public speaking and professional writing about my program. My coaching skills have dramatically improved and my classes have boomed as a result."
- Kathy Gilbert, Tallahassee, FL
"Who knew the key to success is hidden in Puerto Rico? My trip to fitCamp taught me how to present myself with more confidence and clarity, directed me to where I needed to work on my personal training business, connected me to the inside track of the fitness world AND I got to eat great food in incredible surroundings at Lawrence's villa atop the hill. I am now booked solid, continue to get frequent requests to teach at local health clubs, and am busy creating new program platforms initiated by Lawrence that increase my income. Thanks to fitCamp's evening business tips, my business runs more smoothly and is more profitable now than ever!"
- Elyssa Bulthuis, New Lenox, Illinois, creator of "Get Fit With Elyssa" and "Learn With Elyssa"
"The best thing about fitCamp is not only that you get fabulous instruction, company and food, but you get to be yourself. You are not turned into a fitness clone, you are evaluated on your strengths and weaknesses and at the end of the week, you leave a better, more professional, more fully realized person with a clearer sense of your goals in place and the tools to get you there. Just before attending fitCamp I had just taken over an aquatics company with a somewhat fuzzy goal of being a fitness presenter, and shortly after, I find myself presenting at five SCW Manias and am partnered with ICAA . Lawrence's experience, honesty, compassion and willingness to help have been invaluable, I highly recommend fitCamp whether you want to improve your skills or change your direction in the fitness industry."
- Lisa K, Gibson, Milwaukee Wisconsin, USA, "Poolates"
"I attended fitCamp in Puerto Rico with Lawrence after working in the fitness business for 30 years. The entire experience was amazing! I came home with more knowledge and made more changes to my business than ever before, regretting only that I'd not attended years earlier because he helped me define my business model, prioritize what I wanted, and make plans to achieve all of that. My business has grown about 25% and I am more confident in the path I want to be on. Thank you Lawrence!"

"I say that you need to say 'YES' to fitCamp even if it takes you out of your comfort zone! I did and I am glad I have. Lawrence equipped me with the tools to step up to FEAR and do NEW and SCARY things, including returning home and immediately making a much-needed move to a newer and larger facility after many years at the current one. The new club gave me the opportunity to format and offer new classes, gain new clients (while keeping ALL former ones) and teach in a brand new mind/body room built within the gym. At fitCamp, you will be surrounded by similar goal- oriented campers, not to mention beautiful surroundings at Lawrence’s Villa, and have 24/7 access to the most incredible mentor (well, almost 24/7!) who not only shares his vast knowledge, but his home! And last, but not least, fabulous food made from recipes in HIS own cookbook! Say 'YES!'"
- Janie Watkins, Gadsden, Alabama USA
"Lawrence's FitCamp was the most rewarding experience I have ever done for myself. The way Lawrence shares his knowledge of exercise and how to teach our participants is invaluable. Lawrence is a wonderful cook and prepared all the meals, they were all delicious. It is the most beautiful place on earth, rain forest on one side and Caribbean on the others. Even though I worked hard and learned alot, I felt like a princess."
- Bobbie Adams, T’ai Chi for Seniors, Chicago
"I learned so much during Lawrence's fitCamp in Puerto Rico, I'm still sorting through it! There was a lot of info packed into three days - the best part was being able to practice these new skills and receive direct feedback from Lawrence on the spot ... that was the most valuable part for me! Lawrence is an inspiration and to be mentored by him, in person, for three full days (in sunny Puerto Rico!) is an experience of a lifetime. Attending fitCamp was the best decision I have ever made in my career. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world, Lawrence ... we're all truly blessed to have you on this planet."
- Paul Galloro, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
"Attending fitCamp was a tough and mentally invigorating professional development camp. I walked away with excitement and a sense of direction for myself and my fitness program. Lawrence will get you out of your confront zone for you to grow and 'Get out of your own way.' He gives you 'Pearls of Wisdom,' leaving you with valuable tools to help achieve your goals. I highly encourage you to attend Lawrence's fitCamp and get ready to GROW as a fitness professional. When I returned, I got a promotion including more money, took on additional responsibilities, and started sharing what I learned with other fitness professionals in my state."
- Johanna Valencia
"I approached my trip to fitCamp with both excitement and apprehension. Although I received a full explanation of the experience, I still wasn't sure what to expect I had almost 30 years' teaching experience, but I was looking for ways to be better and for new opportunities to pursue. Lawrence's organization and professionalism provided a confident learning structure that allowed me to evaluate my skills, improve my craft, increase my knowledge and set attainable goals. He and Irene welcomed me warmly and made me feel like family! I'm STILL learning from all the material I received there. And now have the opportunity to 'pay it forward' with my staff that I have the privilege to manage, thanks to Lawrence sharing his expertise with me. After fitCamp, I returned home and shortly thereafter got a promotion to Group Fitness Director which made me step up and really implement what I learned with a full staff!"

"After winning SCW Fitness Idol Midwest Mania 2016, I got myself to Lawrence's home of fitCamp in Puerto Rico, as fast as I could, seeking his expert advice and mentoring to help me improve my skills as a fitness instructor for Water Fitness, Yoga, and how to be a Presenter at fitness conventions. The knowledge he shared within 5 busy days was informative, educational, self-reflective, inspiring, and transformational. I also learned much about the fitness industry, social media, teaching skills and strategies, and also learned more about myself as a person. fitCamp changed my life. I strive to be a 'cream' instructor now, and started my own business."
"Since fitCamp, my class sizes are doubling, and colleagues see me with excitement and empowerment with the tools of success provided by Lawrence. Incredibly, within eight months of attending, I became an SCW Fitness Education Presenter of two water movement sessions touring to 6 states with the convention, given a rare raise and 5 additional classes at my 11 year gym, then I was hired at Life Time Fitness and assigned one, then two, then three Water classes, due to overwhelming feedback from members about my teaching style, was selected to receive a free national certification for Speedo-Life Time Trainer for WTRX, extreme HIIT circuit water class, then received Fitness Instructor Employee of the Month. I recently had three different gym members write complimentary letters to corporate and Group Ex managers on my behalf, and accepted two personal training clients. Now individuals approach me all the time expressing how I was a good instructor before fitCamp, but now a phenomenal fiery instructor they love, all due to my experiences begun at fitCamp. I will definitely be back again!"

"I am Vipin Chandran from New Delhi, India and I have been working as a fitness professional for more than a decade. The turn in my fitness career happened when I saw and met Mr. Lawrence Biscontini at Asia Fitness convention in 2011. I was hugely influenced by Lawrence the way he interacts and teaches the delegates. My respect and affection towards Lawrence increases day by day, month after month, and year after year. Then I realized that to achieve my goal in fitness industry as a professional and an educator, I should take Lawrence's professional assistance and mentorship. When I approached him and conveyed my wish, Lawrence with open arms accepted and invited me to attend the fitCamp in Puerto Rico, USA. Attending a private mentoring program week (with just him) gave me uninterrupted exposure to one of the best fitness teachers in the world; I don't actually have words to thank Lawrence for loading and sharing all his experience and knowledge. He is the best, and every second I spent with him was worth it in all aspects. He is a treasure of wellness information and knowledge. He assessed me and identified my strength and weakness. He taught me how to become professional and popular in wellness world and still he does the follow-ups after the fitCamp. After fitCamp, my popularity and value increases exponentially. My training and teaching style and craft have improved drastically. I have expanded my school, reworked my client load to accommodate more clients, started getting quoted in blogs and articles like American Council on Exercise, and, yes, am more economically successful with my personal and professional company than I was before fitCamp."
