Before coming to SBB, we would run and go to Equinox, but it felt like a chore. We were not motivated to go, and when we were there, we would always split up to do our workouts separately. We were never working out together, and here we both do the classes! I, (Norsham), visited the Chamber of Commerce and heard Jolie speak, and she said, “If you ask yourself a stupid question – you will get a stupid answer.” So, I decided to stop asking myself if “I was fat,” and I came the next day to sign up. I told Jolie I would come back with my husband and he would sign up too.
Now we feel like we’ve changed our bodies. We have a lot more energy and we are more toned! It’s a combination – it’s not just about losing weight. I think it’s more fun and happier! There are so many people here and everyone is so friendly. This is us! Every day off we look forward to coming!
I, (Felipe), feel like our relationship is better after joining because it’s a different outing for us to do. We have our typical restaurants and going out that we would do. This is something we both motivate each other to do. It keeps us healthy, it’s something to do together, and we both see results. It’s a win-win situation! We are even talking about it when we’re not here! When she goes to a class by herself, I’m always jealous that I wasn’t there with her.
I, (Norsham), think it’s good because it’s something that brings us closer together! It’s not just about love – it’s something that really helps us bond on another level. South Beach Boxing encouraged me to change my diet a lot! I’m Malaysian and the food is very heavy. I only have Malaysian food once a week, and now I have a lot of salads and instead of frying food – I bake it.
It is highly addictive! There are certain points in class where I, (Felipe), just zone out and focus on the task at hand, and all kinds of stress goes away! You just get into beast mode! The challenges you put yourself through here you can apply to everything in life. It is so rewarding when you push yourself past mental barriers!
We thank you very much for this opportunity! We will continue to spread the word.
