Has anyone done any of his boot camps?
I'm considering signing up so I can get into shape and it will be something a little bit different.
If so, what can I expect?

Expect to get cussed, primarly 17 and ***. Expect to get dressed down a time or two(more if you are more than 40 pounds out of shape). Expect to hurt all week the first two to three weeks. If you do a 12 week course, toward the end you start to enjoy it more and more. The second 12 weeks are a LOT more fun the first.
It's like many other training situations you may have been in -- high school two-a-days, military boot camp, fraternity hell week -- where the group gets broken down at first, then you find strength in making it to the end. Most of the battle is mental at first, because like BTO said, the first 2-3 weeks you hurt a lot. It does get much better after that.
A lot of people will screw up somehow and earn a nickname, and EVERYbody will get singled out at least once early on for screwing something up. And although it goes against my nature, I found the best tactic is probably just to do what they say, keep your head down and get through it at first without being a smartass. You'll get through a lot smoother that way.
You'll be glad you did it. I ran my fastest 5k in like 10 years after the training, and we never even ran distance in the class. I think the most we ever ran was a mile, maybe mile and a half. You just get stronger physically in every way, and that includes your lung capacity.
Plus, the ladies love it, ifyouknowwhati'mtalkingbout.

I was actually kind of concerned that running was a big part of it, and I don't really want to run because I can, and will do that on my own.
The other thing that scares me is the 5AM or 6AM option since I have a hard time getting up.
Otherwise it sounds kind of like something that I was looking for. I don't think that the cussing will bother me. Getting dressed down probably will, just to be honest, but I'll deal with it.
