Fine. I have the money, I just don't think I have the time....
Each session starts at 6:00AM. You definitely have the time. The question is:
do you have the will?
The program is designed to fit into almost any work or school schedule, while still giving those who want more the chance to train beyond the daily sessions.
Camp members can use their included Tristar Gym membership to get in extra reps, tighten their skills, and walk into fight night feeling truly ready. This time, you're not just training — you're preparing to step into the cage.

Fight Camp Logistics
Classes
Each camp session takes place at Tristar Gym Montreal, running from 6:00AM to 7:00AM.
You'll follow a structured training curriculum designed specifically for Chimp 2 Champ by Coach Buzzsaw, with built-in options to increase intensity or add sessions based on your commitment and progress.
Outside of the morning camp, you’ll also have full access to Tristar’s class schedule. Most members return for the 11:00AM or 6:00PM sessions and train deep into the evening — sometimes as late as 9:00PM.
Whether you're sticking to the plan or pushing past it, the tools are here. The work is yours to do.
Physio & Massage
Physio and massage will be Provided by the Healers at Action Sport Physio St-Laurent. The camp will include massages scheduled at the gym post training. However, all physio appointments will be made with Action Sport Physio St-Laurent directly. This means that you may take an appointment at their office whenever it best fits your schedule. The team already works with multiple fighters and the owner also practices jiu-jitsu therefore they are well placed to understand the type of injuries resulting from the sport, as well as how to heal them.
Nutrition & Conditioning
Personalized nutrition and conditioning plans will be tailored to each participant based on an in-depth baseline assessment. These plans are designed to align with individual goals, performance levels, and dietary needs.
Participants will also have access to premium meal prep options and private chef services to support their journey throughout the camp.
