Signed up for cardio kickboxing (heavy bag workout) through Class Pass. This was my first muay thai…read morestyle class and I have never done a kickboxing class in my life. Located on the third floor of a building on Bathurst and Queen, it's a short jaunt from the streetcar and bus stop. For warm up, we jump roped for 15 minutes before I learned some fundamental muay thai punches and kicks. The instructor was highly encouraging and offered great direction. The class was a lot of conditioning mixed in with cardio. I was legit, sweating and had a fantastic time. As it was my first time, I have never invested in boxing gloves. There are community boxing gloves available, but I would encourage you to bring your own if you have one, as I had to wash my hands with copious amounts of soap before I was able to get the smell of sweat off my hands. The fees I find are very reasonable. The first trial class being $10, and drop-ins are $25. The gym offers a variety of packages suited for each individual's needs.

Hook Up Muay Thai Boxing literally changed my life. After years on the road with a rock band,…read moreeating bar food and drinking, and living an extremely unhealthy lifestyle in many ways, I reached a point where I realized that I could either continue to get less healthy, or do something positive and improve myself. So I joined a major gym chain. Although I liked the gym, after a year, I was not achieving the results I wanted. I had met one of the instructors at Hook Up through a casual fitness kickboxing class, and he invited me to try a class at Hook Up. From the moment I walked in I was hooked. Hook Up oozes credibility. It's hidden (like some back-alley boxing club straight out of the Rocky franchise) behind a tile shop in that industrial section of the city north of Orfus road. As I stepped through the door, I was struck by creak of the bags swinging on the chain, the sound of gloves hitting pads, and the whipping of jump ropes. It was a Sunday afternoon, and the place was busy with people of all walks of life, from couples with pre-toddlers in tow, training recreationally, to competitive athletes getting ready for provincial, national, and international competition. Far from being intimidating, I found the owner/head trainer Jim (National Co-ordinator of CASK: Thai Boxing) and his wife Theodora (a national champion) to be welcoming, and they immediately set me at ease. I quickly got to know everyone there, and I was hooked! The instructors are world class, there are several national champions training there, and the club takes a whole-life approach to health and fitness. After a nutritional consult with Jim, I completely revamped my diet and began a new phase in my life. Hook Up Muay Thai Boxing is a member of the Canadian Amateur Sport Kickboxing, the governing body for the sport in Canada. That brings with it a lot of bonuses not available to members of not accredited clubs (notably access to insurance while training or sparring). It also means that if you want and are able, you can train and compete at CASK sanctioned events and even try to make the National Team! I have been a member of Hook Up now for a year and a half, and in that time, I've reached fitness and health goals I never dreamed possible for myself. I'm 34 lbs lighter than I was when I got married 3 years ago, and my energy level has never been higher. I can run farther than I ever thought I'd be able to, and I'm more confident than I've ever been. In fact, in less than two weeks I'll be fighting in my first K1 rules kickboxing tournament. And that is a LONG way from where I was as a travelling musician, believe me......
