Natalie Camp

Like Michael, I am a native Athenian, having graduated from Athens Academy (Michael and I were in the same 4th grade class!) and University of Georgia with a degree from the business school. At Athens Academy I played basketball and softball and was very naturally athletic.

All of my adult life I have worked in the legal field, first as a court reporter and now as a paralegal and office manager of my husband's law office. Although I have always been athletic and thin and have exercised sporadically all my life, I have never been overly concerned with health and fitness until about two years ago. There is something about becoming middle-aged that will do that to you! I began to feel sluggish and tired all the time, never feeling like I was getting enough sleep. I was not gaining weight, but all of my clothes started to get tight and uncomfortable. Parts were moving south! I knew I had to do something. That is when I began attending WoW! Boot Camp. It was the spring of 2007. My gosh, how difficult it was the first few months! But I eventually got over the hump and found my rhythm. I found the perfect exercise class for me; and with April's health and nutrition guidance, and some research and experimentation of my own, I have changed my eating habits as well. I have enjoyed running road races, consistently placing in my age group, and just this past Thanksgiving (2008) I ran the Atlanta Half Marathon! I plan to continue my training and running and ultimately hope to compete in a triathlon one day soon.

Now, after two years of WoW! Boot Camp and witnessing many incredible moments of inspiration & transformation, I have a desire to help women struggling with weight, fitness and nutrition issues. My experiences will help me do just that. It's an amazing feeling to cross the finish line with someone who has just shaved 4 minutes off of her timed mile, when 4 weeks earlier she had never even walked a mile! To see these women getting fit, going down in size and being so much happier is very gratifying to me. That is why I have decided to become a WoW! Boot Camp instructor. I am currently working on my A.C.E. Group Fitness Instructor certification. I know I can make a difference in other people's lives, and I feel that God has blessed me with certain gifts to use for that very purpose. I look forward to working with each and every participant!
