Total Body Boot Camp and Performance Center
opens new facility
and Performance Center on Route 109 in Farmingdale.
Fitness doesn’t happen overnight, it requires the right mindset, diet and moves. Knowing this, Billy Hofacker founded Total Body Boot Camp and Performance Center in Farmingdale.
Growing up, Hofacker was involved in athletics, which would spark his craving for understanding how to transform the body into its healthiest and most fit form and the realization he wanted to be involved in the health and fitness field. With a bachelor’s degree in exercise and nutrition science, Hofacker worked in martial arts and physical therapy before finding his true love and passion in personal training.
“I was going to be a physical therapist and then along the way I found personal training,” Hofacker explained. “I fell in love with it because I enjoyed helping people prevent problems physically and health-wise, and I haven’t looked back. It’s been an awesome journey and I’ve been doing it for over 20 years.”
What Hofacker started as a fitness program in the middle of a park soon grew into something that warranted the need to open up a fully functional facility. Hofacker found his first space in Farmingdale on East Carmans Road in 2010, but in November of 2018, he found an even larger space on Route 109. Hofacker also operates a second location in Babylon since 2014.
“We create fun fitness to help people lose weight, get stronger and have more energy,” said Hofacker about the fitness program he’s created. “We guarantee that when people come here, they will feel cared for not just by the trainers, but also by the other clients and they’re not going to feel intimidated.”
With the understanding that everyone is at a different stage in their fitness journey and everyone needs a unique routine to workout at their best, Hofacker offers a “fitness strategy session” to jumpstart each client’s Total Body membership. Clients will discuss what they want to accomplish, why they have the goals they’ve set for themselves, how to best achieve those goals and will document their lifestyle and medical history to formulate a program that will allow them to perform at their highest level and see results.
Once the strategy session is complete, clients start their program, which places them in a group of two to eight for about 45 minutes, with the “stability phase” focusing on setting a foundation of the right moves, the right nutrition and resetting their metabolism. As clients adjust to their new habits and behaviors, the program progresses accordingly as clients are able to amp up their routine.
Programs can range from three to 12 months with options to come in multiple times a week. Session frequency and how much personalization and guidance each client would like determines pricing.
“Most people come because they want to look and feel a little bit better, drop some pounds. Then once they start coming they start realizing that they have more potential than they even though,” Hofacker said. “It’s not just about the workout, it’s a much bigger picture. It’s about the nutrition, it’s about the energy, so we try to address as many of those things as possible.”
To celebrate their new location, Total Body will hold a grand opening Saturday, Jan. 19, at 1 p.m. featuring a ribbon cutting, some activities and a 50/50 raffle with proceeds to go to The Children’s Heart Foundation. Total Body will also host their charity fitness event Super Brawl on Saturday, Feb. 2, to support The Children’s Heart Foundation in memory of a client’s son who passed away from a heart defect.
Total Body Boot Camp and Performance Center is located at 208 Route 109 in Farmingdale. To learn more, visit www.lifitnessbootcamp.com.
