Femme Fatale Female Fitness Bootcamp

On Sunday, March 10 at 4pm at the BETA Martial Arts Academy in Washington DC, we're celebrating March as Women’s History Month by offering a powerful, confidence-boosting class for our female adventurers only—Femme Fatale Female Fitness Bootcamp. This exclusive event for DC’s premier social club, DC Global Adventurers, is open to femme fatales of ALL ages and abilities.

Designed by a U.S. Marine and a Professional Thai Boxer, Femme Fatale combines the battle-tested workouts utilized by the U.S. military along with effective training techniques used by martial artists to get into incredible shape.
Our instructor is U.S. Marine Sergeant Laurie Porsch, an Active Duty U.S. Marine who has deployed several times to Afghanistan and Iraq. Sergeant Laurie brings the discipline and fortitude required of anyone who is serious about meeting their weight loss and fitness goals. She is also an Instructor of Combat Conditioning and Martial Arts in the Marine Corps.

Femme Fatale Fitness Boot Camp is designed for any woman who has a burning desire to succeed. Our instructor is nationally certified, knowledgeable and can modify any exercise in order to push you to be your personal best.

After practicing our moves on the mat, we'll go to the famous Eatonville restaurant for dinner with our instructors. Dinner is optional and is NOT included in the event price. We'll receive an introduction that will explain the restaurant's links to African-American author Zora Neale Hurston.

This class is offered especially for DC Global Adventurers. What's included:



  • Group introductions and facilitation by Organizer Nejla Routsong

  • 1.5 hour Femme Fatale Female Fitness Bootcamp beginners lesson for women of all ages and abilities by BETA Academy staff

  • Option to join us for dinner at Eatonville (dinner NOT included in event price) with historical introduction and meeting with the chef
