I hurt.
But I guess that's, good, right? The whole "no pain, no gain" thing, yadda yadda.
I saw an ad for this guy in the Metro Times paper and figured I'd like to give him a shot. His prices are reasonable ($8 for a drop-in class) and wow, does your body get that $8 worth in the end.
John Cortez Jones is a very nice guy, from what I can tell, he remembers your name and encourages you throughout his class. His facility is in a large warehouse on the west side of Detroit. All the other fine info is on the website.
I'm hoping to make it to him at least 2x a week. I have this awful habit of starting something up and quitting it just as fast, so I hope I can continue to get here and work it on out.
My first time there, we ran laps, then jump roped. Repeat 3x.
We used mats and did some floor exercises utilizing 3, 5 & 8 lb weights. We then walked laps with the weights, working our arms and then retreated to the mat for more arm & ab work. After that, cooldown and stretches. His classes are one hour long and I swear, that one hour felt like an eternity.
But ya know what? I felt good afterwards. read more
