| Justin Bradshaw is a former U.S. Army Deep Sea Diver. He grew up in San Antonio, Texas, playing tennis and lettering all 4 years at MacArthur high school. Upon graduation, he joined the Army and decided to try out for one of the toughest schools the military has to offer - Dive School. After training he experienced a variety of diving missions and in some instances, life-threatening experiences while working as an Army diver. Some of the jobs Justin performed while being a diver were underwater welding, underwater construction, search and rescue, pipeline diving, salvage, underwater demolitions, mine/countermine operations, etc. To perform this type of strenuous work, divers had to be extremely fit, not only for the physical reasons, but also for the physiological effects diving can have on the body. After completing his time in the military, Justin received his Energy Management degree from the University of Oklahoma. Realizing his true passion was fitness, he started an Aquatic Boot Camp based off some of his previous military training. Justin enjoys adventure racing, sprint tri-athlons, sky diving, scuba diving, and playing just about any sport. |

| Camp Gladiator is not a gym.. it's not a fitness class or a running club. The only word that does justice to what we are is a "movement". A wave of positive energy that sweeps through a community, causing people to reconnect to who they used to be... who they were meant to be. A human being, created by God to be part of the world around them. To be outside in the elements... running, jumping, crawling, sweating, competing, & believing... To be around other like minded individuals, working together to accomplish something for yourself. To be challenged.. the kind of challenge that comes from inside you. That place that wonders just how far you can go if you'd only let go. To be fearless. Realizing that the only true failure is not trying. Camp Gladiator has a place because we reignite the flame that already burns within you. Dimmed from years of neglect, but still burning. Unleash the fire... join the movement... become a Gladiator... |
