I think the best thing about having someone right there with you, is that they will push you harder than you would push yourself.
I joined a bootcamp at work and that was one of the hardest things I've done for a workout. You are completely drained by the end and most of the workout was your own body weight and some resistance bands. Most workouts I have read about/tried always had some rest in between exercises. There is no resting in bootcamp. The instructor was a 5 foot petite woman that I soon realized could kick my butt easily.
If you want a challenge to do on your own... there's the 300 workout and if you search, someone created an audio file with music and verbal cues when to move onto the next excercise.
I found P90x requierd too much thinking and works well in a group so everyone can contribute to remember the routines. A few friends at work have completed P90x and they had amazing results.

my thoughts anyway

Just gotta be very careful "as bein men" with these type camps as they will RAPIDLY eat away at ones hard earned muscle, unless of course you know your diet and take in the proper cals/protein/fats ;) and of course rest, THE most important part

Its all about the diet...it can be done with hard work and a strict proper diet. I know guys and gals that juice and guys and gals who dont. IMO the naturals have the better bodies because they have spent years fine tuning each and every muscle. Not to mention i dont know why any chick in a bikini contest would wanna get jacked on roids lol

For sure there is lots of people who have great bodies that are natural,,You dont get BIG<BIG with out doing some steroids tho.Guys that win big compations are on LOTS of juice...

Anyway all my point was that its ridiculous for an average guy trying to lose some weight to go talk to Jay Cutler about how to get in shape...

Well lets see goona have to eat 10000calories a day,,spend hours in the gym every day(start with 40sets for your back lol) drink 3gallons of water,,oh and take a ch!t load of juice...
