That's the case with Steve Rainbolt's "Shocker Fitness with Coach Bolt" -- a community workout program patterned off of Lawrence's "Dog Days Fitness."

And it's caught on. From 30 people last September to 175 heading into the 10-week summer session, representing a wide range of ages and athletic ability.

"Everybody goes at their own pace," Rainbolt said. "If they can't handle some of the intense stuff that we do, then they got a little bit slower. We've got them all the way up into their 70's here. And all the way down to junior high age."
