The Camp Transformation requires a few things when you sign the contract for the 6 Week 20lbs Challenge, such as: the upfront cost, commitment, nutrition plan, check-ins, changing your FB picture to the challenge and post a review. While it may seem a lot, but if you are determined, as I was and still am. The trainers and staff truly care about all challengers and members. They push you to the limits. I lost 7.1 the first week with healthy eating and intensive circuit exercising, by the 3rd week, I was in a lull. I continued to eat on the plan, exercise and do my own extra cardio. By the 5th week I was concerned U wouldn’t lose the 7 pounds to hit the goal. Helen, a staff member, put me on a strict nutrition eating plan to make it…..by Saturday, I weighed in and lost 20.2 pounds!!
The Camp was exactly what I needed to gear me into a healthier lifestyle. I have signed up for my first Spartan Race in December and will conquer that too! I’m incredibly thankful to The Camp and all staff, including members and challengers are a family. If you’re thinking it’s a scam, you’re dead wrong. They don’t advertise, we, the members and challengers are the advertisement!
I am often asked, “What made you start a Meal Prep Company??” With New Years Resolutions around the corner….I thought it’s time to share my story….cuz you too can change your tomorrow.
Sooo I was looking through pics from the past 10 years, and was debating on which ones to choose. 10 years ago VS now? Hmmmm…. I was going to go with all the cute “cookie cutter” ones of me smiling…but started to see a pattern in all of those as the years went on, and felt compelled to keep it very real and be very vulnerable with all of you in hopes I can touch just ONE person that is struggling, and let them know there is hope.
10 years ago I was freshly divorced after spending over a decade with someone. I was ready to bolt to a new chapter…a new life…so away I went! I packed my U-Haul and traveled around the world like a gypsy with absolutely zero care given. The character I built while I was a rebel without a cause is priceless….I would never change that, but the common denominator was my addictive personality. It didn’t matter what it was…uppers, downers, alcohol, Bulimia, NyQuil (yes-NyQuil) I mean, you name it, I abused it. I was out of touch with my emotions and addicted to anything that would cover up the pain that I kept hidden for so long. I lived that way for a very long time. My black outs were getting worse. My sister would have to video tape me while we were out cuz I couldn’t remember shit the next day. The stories get much worse as my compulsive/destructive behavior was at its peak. Anyways…my 20’s flew by living that hard life…and that bar life took over my soul.
It was my 30th…and I was TIRED of being sick and tired. I was ready to face the underlying issues that I tried so desperately to cover up. I was Ready to change. So away I went! I entered myself into detox then to a treatment center for 42 days. There I learned one thing…I was NOT alone. I was surrounded by all walks of life struggling with addiction. Doctors, nurses, lawyers, bartenders, or people that were just court ordered. Some wanting the change, others being forced. But me? I wanted the change. I was in it to win it. 42 days later…I was ready to live a life without goggles for the first time since the age of 12.
Shortly after, I signed up for my first weight loss challenge with The Camp Transformation Center and my world was forever changed. I realized I could over come ANY obstacle. At that point I accepted the lord back into my life and dove head first into making myself a better person. Before I always told myself …”you’ll never make it” “you don’t know shit about business” “you’re too old now to pursue your passions” all those thoughts we tell ourselves because we are too scared to get out of our comfort zone…we are scared of failure. All those thoughts are bullshit. Self sabotage at its finest. I lived that way for a very long time and I refused to be my worst enemy any longer. After successfully completing my first challenge, I found my strength/focus, and at that time, “Meal Prep By LJ” was born. I was ready to put all that creativity and positive energy towards something that could not only improve my life, but help others along the way.
Am I “cured” u ask? Hell no…I will forever be on the road of recovery because addiction is an illness, but I have learned all the coping skills I need to tackle each and every day with a positive outlook, and take one day at a time.
It’s never too late to change. You too CAN change your tomorrow. So 10 years ago VS Now? ya…I’d say I’m winning!
-Lindsay Johnson
just completed my 1st challenge and lost a whopping 24 pounds in 6 weeks! This is the same 24 pounds I have been trying to lose for 10 years with diet pills, starvation diets and every crazy tactic out there. But losing the weight simply came down to clean eating and exercising. I am not only thinner, but I am stronger. My body is toned and I no longer have excruciating back pain so I can skip having that disc replacement surgery!
The gym attracts a great group of people who all are there for the same purpose. Everyone encourages each other to stay positive on their weight loss journey. What’s I really like is how the trainers do all the thinking for you. You don’t have to figure out what exercises your going to do and it’s never redundant. All you need to do is get your self to the gym 5 times a week and push yourself for 50 minutes to get a great work out in. The workouts are exhausting and the food is not exciting but it’s the best food for our bodies put on this earth. I feel great with more energy and ironically sleep better than ever.
Best of all, I like what I see in the mirror. I want to see how else my body can transform in such a short amount of time, so I have signed up t do another challenge in January!!
The Camp Transformation Center is the place to be if you really want a serious change in life and health for better. This is an amazing place to get real results, melt your lbs down, change your life for good, kill bad habits, build strength and find true people with the same objective as you and also make friends why not.
The staff and trainers are awesome and their one and main objective is to gelp you reach your goal. You can always reach out to them for any questions you may have as well as everyone involved. If you really want a change in your life this is the place all you got to do is take the 1st step into changing your life, listen to what they tell you, work your buns off and hard everything they say it’s gonna happen will happen because they truly care for you and are committed to help you at all times.
I just finished my 1st challenge lost a bunch of inches and melted 26.7 lbs in 6 weeks and I feel so happy because all the hard work really paid off now I’m ready for my 2nd challenge and ready to loose more lbs and inches and gain more health & strength beleive me this really works and in a very magical way so if your interested open your eyes, ears and heart and start your transformation now I’m ready to see where my 2nd journey takes me I’m loving it!!!

I absolutely love the camp Monrovia !! This is my home away from home, the members are very welcome and the trainers specially (Javier) is very helpful with the forms for the workouts and has killer classes, with a positive attitude and smile everyday. He is the only one I’d wake up for a 5 am class😆 !! and (Jatziry) is such a great coach who lights up the facility with her charisma and smile. This will forever be my family ! Definitely recommend !🤗

(Translated by Google) Honestly, it is an exceptional place. Personally, I have a few years and those that are missing if you need a place that motivates you as a group to your goals, whether it be losing weight, toning up or for peace of mind, etc. this is the perfect place in terms of the people who make up “the camp (the administration and trainers are all great) you just have to show up and start if you can, a healthy mind, a healthy body, it is never too late to start. (Original) Sinceramente es un lugar excepcional Personalmente tengo algunos años y los que faltan si necesitas algún lugar que te motive grupal mente a tus metas ya sea bajar de peso tonificar o por paz mental etc este es el lugar perfecto en cuanto a las personas que conforman “ the camp (la administración y entrenadores todos son geniales ) basta que te presentes y empiezas si se puede mente sana cuerpo sano nunca es tarde para empezar

Update on my review: I am still a member of the Monrovia Camp. For the 2024 I took the 5% body fat challenge. I hit 4% body fat loss through the diet, the exercises, and measuring my food intake. Although I came up about 1% short of the goal, I saw the results after implementing the game plan. I plan on incorporating the diet into the rest of the year and hopefully can lose another 4-5% and put on lean muscle. Thanks to Keily, Jat, Ed/Diddy, Javier, Paulina, Tommy and the rest of the trainers who helped me get where I needed to be.
Michael Tom Nov 11, 2023
I recently joined this camp for a 21 days challenge. The front staff and all the trainers are amazing. I recommend this camp if you’re looking for a great work out to get a better look or better health.
Erick Castro Feb 2, 2024
Yes on camp Monrovia it’s of first and last camps I’ll ever join the workout is very intense it makes my day to start my first routine 😊
Ruben Mejia Feb 2, 2024
Never a dull moment. Have you ever experienced the though of “uh, I have to go to the gym…” not here. It’s more like “I wonder what I am going to work out today!” Been coming here for 4+ and Im still not tired of it. No routine workout at The Camp TC.
Jose Lopez Feb 2, 2024
Best camp ever. I always hesitate to work out and didn’t see results in the past. But I see result with this camp and all trainers are supportive and helpful. Highly recommend this place if you wanna see the result.
Chan Chan Feb 2, 2024
This is a great gym! I love the different styles of workouts! In one month I have already noticed an improvement in my cardio and muscle size. Jatziry is really helpful and she recommended an awesome pre-workout! Coach Keyli and Coach Diddy are awesome at what they do! This is the place to be if you are serious about physical fitness!

Joining the Camp Monrovia has been the best decision I have ever made for myself. I started one year ago in hopes of losing all the weight I gained from pregnancy. I am in my 30's and was already starting to feel joint pains and feeling sluggish. I knew I wanted to start a fitness journey but didn't know where to start. I had major gym-timidation. I got the courage to try this place out. The front office staff/trainer Keyli welcomed me in and gave me a tour and introduced me to all of the trainers and made sure I felt comfortable. Jat, another front office staff has the best energy. I love her bubbly personality! She will really cheer you on during the workouts. I was dying my first class but I loved the energy that the trainer brought to the class so I started a 6 week challenge and I've been getting stronger ever since. Now im a member and can't see myself going back to other basic gyms where you are on your own. This camp is growing and constantly getting new equipment. Each trainer brings their own unique style and energy and honestly, I love them all. I have since started personal training with Ed, the Camp Monrovia owner. Ed has made such a positive impact on my life. He is really on top of my progress and helped me with my nutrition/macros. I have lost body fat and gained muscle while having fun in the process. SO much that looking back from pics from a year ago, I can't believe my body looks the way it does today. Lastly, the best thing about this place is the comraderie between trainers and members. It really is a family atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to start their fitness journey.

Great camp to workout. The trainers push you and the people you workout also push. Everything you need to change is within these four walls
laura sanchez Jan 1, 2024
I joined the camp back in September this year, suggested by my friend who recommended it, and I’m glad I did. The trainers, members, and employees are great and friendly. They always help to motivate you and treat you like a family. The classes vary every day from upper body to lower body, cardio, etc.. After 4 months I can see the results in myself. I definitely recommend this gym!

Dawn and I joined 42 days challenge a few months ago. It has been a great and positive experience. We saw the immediate result after 2 to 3 weeks into the program by following diet guideline and workout routine. Since then, we've became gym member. We're always looking forward to workout session whenever we can. We feel refresh coming out from each workout. Now, the Camp is part of our healthy lifestyle. Kodus to Eddie, the entire trainers and staffs for putting together a great workout routine and fun environment to be at. Last but not least, shout out to our personal trainer, Thomas Entabian. Dawn and I have 1:1 personal training with Thomas about 3-4 months now. Thomas has done amazing job. He is great trainer. We saw the transformation in ourselves. Highly recommended The Camp, Monrovia, if you're looking for workout program. The investment in health is priceless.

Ceecee is the best trainer at the camp Monrovia!!!!
Daniela Rivas Dec 12, 2023
Love, love The Camp Monrovia!! From the staff to the trainers they are truly amazing. It doesn’t feel like a gym but a family. Everyone is on their own workout goals. The trainers are always pushing you because they know your limits which encouraging me to keep pushing for better. Javier is a great trainer just like the rest of the staff. The owner Diddy is truly awesome organizing and coming up with events for us. Look forward to being a member another year and keep pushing myself further!!
Yuridia Adriano Nov 11, 2023
I've tried plenty of other camps, workout classes & programs and I can confidently say I've seen the most difference from the camp here at Monrovia! I've been coming here for 5 months and I'm so happy with the results I've been getting. The trainers are amazing they all care for proper form and making sure you're safe too. Everyone who works at this location is super sweet, caring, considerate, and supportive of each member of the facility. I'm lucky to be apart of this family and its program. I really can't provide a favorite trainer cause they are all great Javier always makes sure you're doing good form, Paulina always has an upbeat and bomb playlist, Tommy is always pushing you to do more than you think you can and Marco always has me dying after each class. Jen works front desk she’s super knowledgeable and very supportive of each member! & LASTLY BUT NOT LEAST my girl KEYLI, she is the BEST!!! So motivating and sweet in each class she does and at the front desk!! In my opinion camp Monrovia does it best.
Taylor Basford Nov 11, 2023
I absolutely love The Camp Monrovia! Everyone here has made working out a lifestyle for me and they are extremely helpful and motivating! Javier is an awesome trainer and the owner Diddy is truly awesome with all of the events he puts on for us. Look forward to being a member another year!
Kate Cairns Nov 11, 2023
Such a fun and friendly place to get fit, and stay in shape! Intense workouts, with a different pace every day to work every muscle of your body, even the ones you didn't knew you had. Paulina, Tomik, Javier...The coaches are all amazing, and truly complete each other's, in making every workout a new challenge. Keylie gives the best advices for the hard-body challenge... and it truly works. So thankful for Diddy, the owner, who keeps packing the place with new equipments. Monrovia TC rocks!
Isabelle G. Nov 11, 2023

My first time there for a free session. I enjoyed (or endured) it and found out exactly where I'm weak.

The Camp is probably the best gym I've ever been a part of. Not only do you have a trainer to help you during your work out, you also have members who actively attempt to help as well. The staff is friendly and inviting. Your questions and suggestions are always welcomed.
