If you want to work out but don't have any fitness equipment at home, what do you do? Use what you got!
Join us for a special IN-PERSON workout with Nate McIntyre, founder of Bodyrock Bootcamp gym in West Philly who was featured in last summer's season of the Netflix hit show Queer Eye. Bodyrock specializes in seriously fun and effective back-to-basics core fitness training. Nate's program is centered by the belief that fitness is not dependent on your finances and before you attempt to master heavy weights or expensive machines, you must first master your own body. All you need is your body and Nate will show you how to achieve your dreams and Bodyrock your world!
The workout will conclude with a Q & A, which will be a great chance to get to know Nate, who will be leading regular in-person classes in the park this spring and summer. Of course, Nate will also share his memories of filming an episode with the Fab 5 and the Queer Eye crew, as well as his challenges adapting his business model to COVID restrictions.

INSTRUCTOR BIO: Nate McIntyre is the founder of Body Rock Boot Camp and Executive Training. An Ohio naitive and graduate of Villanova University, Nate has been bringing his brand of fitness to Philly since leading workout classes in a local park in 2006. A few years later, Bodyrock moved to its current location at 3858 Lancaster Ave. Nate's been called an "iron fist in a velvet glove" —part drill sergeant and part life coach. But his boot camp doesn’t involve combat gear and heavy backpacks. His boot camp-style training program is about positive reinforcement that inspires wellness and spiritual growth. Nate gained international recognition in June 2020 when he was featured on Season 5, Epsidoe 10 ("Body Rock or Bust") of the hit Netflix series Queer Eye.
