Trading Sweats Wear For Fatigues

Most gyms or personal trainers will tell you to wear something loose-fitting and comfortable for workout. But some New Yorkers have traded their sweats and T-shirts for drab olive fatigues. It’s part of the military-style workout at Pure Power Boot Camp, Manhattan’s only indoor obstacle course.

In what amounts to sort of a “Green Beret theme park,” people of all shapes and sizes fling themselves over walls, crawl under a low net, high-step through an arry of tires and do jumping jacks. The decor includes a web of camouflage netting hanging from ceiling, a pup tent and life-size G.I. mannequin with a fierce expression on its face. Owner Lauren Brenner – dressed in camouflage pants, a matching bandana and an army green halter top that showcases a ripped midsection – barks commands to her “recruits” in a non-threatening way.

Rafael Colon, a former Marine sergeant notes that traditional boot camp is about breaking you down, then building you up. “Here, it’s all about building you up.”

    How does one wear army fatigue pants without looking too militant, scaring people, or appear to be impersonating a soldier? :?
