Number of Attendees/Impact to Business
Approximately 10-30 members attend each workout at this location. Each camper utilizes a
parking space and their respective space within the lot, during their workouts. Camp Gladiator
coordinate the placement of the workouts with WCUMC, so that we are located in the far back
corner of the lot, away from the main flow of traffic in and around the church. This also
minimizes any noise disruptions to those inside WCUMC.

Explanation of Program:
Camp Gladiator is an award-winning, outdoor boot camp/fitness program, based out of Texas.
We currently have over 1,000 camps in the DFW area alone, not to mention the camps we have
in the rest of the state, as week as in North Caroline, Florida, Louisiana and Colorado. Our
mission is to positively impact the physical fitness, and ultimately the lives, of as many people
as possible. We do this in many ways, from hiring only certified personal trainers, to partnering
with local companies in their Health &Wellness programs, to staffing an Obstacle Course at a
local school fair. We reach out to potential members through Facebook posts and other social
media outlets, and our current members do a great job spreading their testimonies and
recruiting friends and family to join them at camp. To get started with our program, we ask that
new members bring a mat, water, and a set of dumbbells (5-10 pounds for women and 12-15
pounds for men). We provide everything else! For more information, you can visit our web site
