For 9 years, I did only yoga, and I began to feel that I was losing strength and muscle tone. Someone suggested taking boxing classes. I thought about it for about 6 months before I could get up the courage to come.
I researched all the gyms in the area when I first moved here, and I heard and saw great things about South Beach Boxing. I am a little older and felt very intimidated about going to a boxing gym. I expected big egos and rough people and I was really scared, but I wanted a real gym.
It was the exact opposite!
Everyone was so welcoming from the moment I walked in. The staff greeted me with big smiles and made me feel at home, and the members were so cool. Everyone was so nice.
The trainers are so passionate; they really care and love what they do. It makes you feel great about yourself. I just love it here.
Initially I started with boxing, and then eventually I got into Muay Thai. I used to be a dancer and discovered that it was like dancing: it is so technical and challenging.
I have gained confidence; I overcame my fears and started sparring. It helps you feel stronger and more able to overcome challenges in life.
It has been almost 2 years since I first came, and I have never looked back.
It took about 3 months to notice changes. I began getting the kicks and having the alignment and started coming more and more. My cardio has improved so much.
This place is non-judgmental. It not only gets you in shape, you learn a lot of skills, and it is fun!
My life has completely changed: I have more confidence and feel stronger, healthier, and more energetic. This is like reverse aging for me; I feel younger. Win-win all the way around!
