New You Death Camp reunion drinks

I met up with a couple of ladies who went to the New You Death Camp -- otherwise known as New You Boot Camp -- on Friday night. It was a very interesting evening. It was great to see them and we complained a lot about how horribly the camp was run.

One of the girls had an injury that Staff F made worse by telling her to continue working on it -- saying it was a groin pull, when in fact it was her hip. Her doctor said she had been mishandled at the camp.

This is not unusual it turns out.

Another girl, who was not at the reunion, but who I have connected with online since the camp, says her doctor was very upset because she was told to continue working on her knee -- Staff F said it was just a niggle and to keep running. In fact, she damaged her leg and had trouble walking for two weeks. She's complained to the boot camp but had not had a response the last time I spoke to her. I wouldn't hold my breath anyway, as I only got a 2-line response saying they had interviewed everyone involved (ie guilty!) and had decided I did not deserve a refund.

One of the girls I met with said she had gained back the weight she lost. It's not sustainable given that much of it has to do with tricks such as weighing you in after lunch and weighing you out before breakfast (and after working out and being told not to take more than a small sip of water so it didn't affect your weight!). One of the girls at the Death Camp drinks said she was convinced the scale was rigged.

Some people will do anything to make money!

The only thing good to come out of the experience was meeting the other girls.

And no, I haven't gotten over the mistreatement yet.
