My current world began with beginning my 2009 New Year's Goals. My fitness goals were to simply find some workout that would:a) whip me into shape
b) involve close to one-on-one training or specific instruction from a trainer/leader
c) hold me over until March, when I could get back on the warmer tennis courts
d) help me reach my goal of a bangin' body!
One sport, unexplored, came to mind- Boxing! Hmmmmm, this covers all my criteria and more. With the help of google, a quick call for information to Ultimate Gym of Charlotte, and one class observation, I WAS SOLD!
You may could call it love at first sight. As I entered the open, dingy, concrete warehouse, I new this was going to be the place. Next, the question was, "What were all the guys here really going to think about a girl in their gym?" Well, you would be surprised! There were two other girls who had been training for over a month, one of which I knew. Besides that, everyone I was introduced to was super friendly and accommodating. They were all excited about my interest, and encouraged me to sign up immediately!! I was so impressed with the intense workout that I witnessed on my observation day. Not only was boxing in session, but in the main ring an MMA class was going on concurrently. With in the first 10 minutes of observing, I heard warnings from the instructor to the guys who were athletically twisted in bear holds to "not elbow your partners in the face!" WOW!
[quietly contemplating the excitement to myself I thought...] "This is going to be interesting!"
Smiles! Amber
