I got this in my Daily Candy today…

Base camp, so to speak, is a loft-turned-army barracks that includes the city?s only indoor obstacle course, which was modeled after Fort Knox. The co-ed platoon (that?s you, soldier) even wears fatigues to work out.

In one action-packed hour you?ll be pushed from every angle and sweat like you never have before: rolling logs, hauling sandbags, swinging on monkey bars, and throwing yourself over ten-foot walls. You might puke. We almost did. Apparently, a lot of first-timers do.

Too hard-core? No way. Programs are available for (non-)athletes, new moms, brides, teens, and corporations (imagine: you + your VP = wheelbarrow race). Thinking of going AWOL? Sergeant Lauren Brenner (the badass in the camo bikini top) will hound you on your cell, stop by your office, and call you a sissy weenie until you show your sorry face again.

If you don?t see results after six weeks, Brenner will train you herself for free.

After which you?ll need to take a nap, have a beer, and not try not to think about it.

Pure Power Boot Camp, 38 West 21st Street, second floor, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues (212-414-1886 or purepowerbootcamp.com).

It’s $895 for 6 weeks, $37 per session, 4 sessions per week. 1 hour per session. Perfect for brides and lazy people like me. I’m seriously considering getting my extremely out of shape ass into this program. I’m maid… er matron of honor… in my brother’s wedding, and I’ve put on quite a few post-marriage pounds.

But I’m scared. Anyone care to join me??
