Cynthia Conde is the host of VH1's Bridal Bootcamp and founder of the Bridal Bootcamp® fitness program. Conde has worked with thousands of brides to help them fit into their dream wedding dresses.
Conde developed her Bridal Bootcamp program in 2001, after taking on a client who needed to lose 100 pounds in seven months for her wedding day. To meet the deadline, Conde drew inspiration from her older brother, who'd lost 30 pounds via grueling drills in the Marines. And so Bridal Bootcamp was born, with a focus on hardcore, military-style training to help women get fit in time for their wedding.
The tremendous success and popularity of her best-selling book, Bridal Bootcamp, has created a niche in the billion-dollar fitness industry, prompting trainers and gyms across the country to create "wedding boot camps" catering to the fitness-conscious bride.
