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!

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!!!

My fiancé and I have been going to The Camp for a while now, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. We researched many different gyms when we first moved here, and we’re so glad we picked this one. The trainers are not only knowledgeable but also go above and beyond to help you reach your goals. Whether you're a beginner or more experienced, they take the time to thoroughly explain each workout and tailor it to various fitness levels. The variety in workouts keeps things fresh and challenging, so you never get bored, and you always get a great workout. Plus, the entire gym community is positive and motivating. I highly recommend The Camp to anyone looking for an amazing gym experience!

My husband and I started working out here a few months ago and we absolutely love it and have both noticed a huge difference already. The coaches are all fantastic, super motivating, and friendly. I actually look forward to coming to the gym in the mornings now and I can confidently say that I have never felt that way before in my entire life. Seriously, don’t be intimidated! Everyone here is so positive, encouraging, and welcoming to everyone no matter where you are on your fitness journey.

This gym gives me the best workouts. I haven’t met a trainer that I didn’t love and the community is also amazing. Incredible vibe and a better workout than I can get trying to come up with my own routine. Definitely worth it! I feel better emotionally and physically after starting here and recommend 10/10!

I love everything about this gym! Trainers are outstanding, workouts are amazing, and I am in better shape than I've been in years. One of the things I love most is how they always have great alternatives if there is an exercise I can't do because of injury. They focus on both strength as well as mobility which has also greatly improved my flexibility. The workouts are designed that you can make them as hard or easy as you want depending on weights you choose or intensity. I have been to other hiit gyms as well as gyms like 24 hour fitness and this is easily my favorite. I go 5-6 days per week because I love it so much!

Love this place, the trainers, and the people! This place is for anyone (regardless of what shape you are in). Give it a try.
John Conrad Aug 8, 2024
I highly recommend this place! As a student, it’s difficult to have time to go to a gym and get a workout in, but with camp, they give you access to a variety of different time slots to make it in. There are multiple trainers with a unique style to their classes and who are very motivational! The camp has not only helped me with my physique but has also helped me be more comfortable around other amazing people.

I started coming to this gym 5 months ago and I can’t believe how different I look. I really enjoy being there, once I get there. The staff and even the members are all so nice and supportive. I wanted to quit but kept going because of them. If you’re looking for somewhere to workout and actually have a good workout, this is the place.

Transform Camp is a fantastic community of people of all fitness levels. I have been at TC for just over a year and love it! The Camp instructors are excellent at what they do, motivating, encouraging, and bringing fresh, challenging workouts to each session. TC becomes an addicting place to beat your last best workout and the challenge of each instructor. More than the above, the community of like-minded people makes the Transformation Camp the best place to start your mornings or end the day! I would highly recommend Transformation Camp San Marcos!

Hands down the best gym to get serious results. A community of like people all meeting in one spot for a killer 1 hour workout. Everyone who works here is super accommodating and willing to help. I recommend doing the 6-week challenge to jumpstart your way back to health. The best decision I ever made.
Carolyn Estridge Apr 4, 2024
Great experience here! I was nervous to join but it is such a welcoming place. Everyone is so kind, helpful and encouraging, from staff to coaches to fellow members. It's a challenging and fun workout for all fitness levels. I'm a total beginner and it's very rewarding to see my progress as I get stronger!

Truly amazing staff and the workouts are ridiculously fun and challenging.
Patricia Mireles Mar 3, 2024
Just show up and step through the door. If you can get yourself to the door and step inside you've accomplished the most difficult part. Take that first step and the rest will come.
James Alvernaz Mar 3, 2023
I can’t say enough about this place. Not only are the work outs incredible, but so much fun to do and be challenged at the same time. I love every coach I’ve had and everyone is like a big family. 👏👍

Tiffani Tincher Mar 3, 2022
First time attempting a group training program and it was amazing! Coach Rome will push you pass any mental barriers you have which will empower you to be a better version of yourself. The facility is super clean with no spider webs on the ceiling and everybody is friendly and ready to put in the work. No excuses, just hard work! I definitely recommend this facility to anyone and everyone. Thank you Coach Rome for helping me fall in love with something I have dreaded for so long; High Intensity Interval Training!
James Ngo Nov 11, 2021
I started at Camp Transformation 2 months ago. I'm 60 years old and was a bit concerned about the workouts and irritating previous injuries. I have been amazed how the workouts with some of the recommended supplements have supported me to work out harder than I ever thought possible. I'm feeling really strong and my days feel energetic. I have noticed a change already and look forward to looking at myself in the mirror in 4 more months. Thanks Rome, Marylynn and Eileen. You guys rock!!
