Before South Beach Boxing, I was working and partying. I would go to work, then go out and party right after. I was always too tired to wake up early and work out, so I gained like 20 pounds! I used to do sports all the time and be very active, but once you stop, you feel like something is missing. I needed activity. I always wanted to try boxing, and I had a few friends who were members at SBB. One of them had a free pass and asked if I wanted to try it out. He gave me the pass, I came right away, and I loved it! It has been over a year now. It is the energy that I love. Everyone is here to help with results and push you to work out harder. I love that there are people of different ages and from all over the world. Everyone has their own reason for coming, and when we all get together, it is just awesome!
When I arrive, I have zero energy and zero motivation, but once I get here and start taking the class and waking up, I tell myself, “I can do it!” That gives me energy for the rest of my day. I do not make excuses anymore. Even if I get home super late from work, I tell myself, “I have to go!” Every day you feel a little proud of yourself because you are like, “Yeah! I did it again! I got out of bed and came in to work out.” The gym has become my reason for waking up in the morning.
South Beach Boxing has helped me mentally and physically. If you do not do anything with your life except work and go out, you kind of get a little depressed. You tell yourself the day before, “I am going to wake up and run errands,” but then you are too tired to actually get up and do anything. Mentally, I have changed a lot. You do not get depressed because once you are up, you are up! You start doing things and living your life in a different way. It is a healthy lifestyle, and that is all I wanted. It feels like a family, and the fun I have here is even better than any fun I ever had going out!
