I have never taken a Kickboxing class before but heard about this one and decided to try it out. I…read moream just in my second week and I already love it! It is a great, all over workout, which was exactly what I was looking for. You decide on how hard you want to work out. Plus, the range of the moves you learn work out most of your muscles. The instructor is very motivating and knows what he is doing. It is a fun class and over before you know it. The group is made up of different ages, men and women, and they are fun to work out with. The groups are small so you get your personal time with the instructor. He helps you perfect the moves and motivates you to keep going. I am not going to lie to you, it is a little more expensive than your 'run of the mill' gym membership but how many of those gyms make you pay 8 times more for a personal trainer? Yeah, I'm pretty sure all of them. You definitely get what you pay for here, probably even more!

Every class is different, you're sweating after two rounds and you see a difference in your muscle tone immediately. The class is comprised of all age groups, athletic ability and skill levels and it really is an awesome environment! The instructor consistently makes sure your executing moves with good form, is encouraging and before you know it, the hour is gone, so are the calories and you've just learned a hell of a lot. Wish I had found this place sooner!

I've been actively boxing (not as an actual fighter, only as a workout) for the last 15 years and…read morethis was the first gym I experienced that was not an actual scheduled class, but rather you jump in on the next round. I really liked the concept and that they are only 30mins as I do not think you actually need an hour workout to reap the benefits of exercise. The instructor was super cool and good about getting to me before each round to explain what I was doing. The gym was clean and designed in an aesthetically pleasing and condusive way. My only complaint was the music. It reminded me of a playlist my dad would put together for a Sunday drive. The genre is fine outside of a gym but when I'm in boxing mode I much prefer something more upbeat. I've experienced a number of other gyms in NC since I've moved here and while I understand a lot of gyms do not approve of hip-hop/r&b etc there has to be some sort of change because the music in itself would be a reason that I would not continue going. One of the main motivations behind joining a speciality gym or workout is the environment. Music is everything!
