FAQS
WHY BOXING?
It's an amazing full-body workout that involves lots of movement. You're reacting to the bag, weaving and bobbing. You might think it's mostly arms, but you'll soon discover how tiring boxing can be on the legs. In a 2023 article, the New York Times described boxing as, "...blending full-body strength training and cardiovascular endurance with exercises designed to improve balance, coordination and reflexes".
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?
I am located in the north Willow Glen area. My garage has been converted to a small gym.
IS MOST OF THE CLASS DEDICATED TO NON-CONTACT BOXING?
No. The boxing element of the class will be around 15 minutes and will take place towards the end of the session. Classes will include strength training, balance, agility and everyday movements (stepping and reaching, rotation, and dual-tasking to get your brain exercising, too).

WHAT IF I'M TRAVELING? CAN I SKIP A MONTH OR DO A 2-WEEK PAUSE?
Yes, you can skip a month.
If you do a two-week pause in your membership, you pay half the monthly rate.
WHAT IF I'M NOT INTERESTED IN CLASSES?
I do offer individual and partner sessions. These sessions can be either 30 or 45-minutes. These workouts don't have to include non-contact boxing. It's entirely up to you if you'd like to try boxing.
The best way to hear more about my program is to come over to check out my micro-gym. I can explain my approach to exercise. It's the perfect time for you to talk about your history with physical activity. What do you like or dislike when it comes to exercise? What have you tried over the years and where have you found success when participating in an exercise program?
Contact me to set up a time to meet (call or text: 202.997.1200).
IF I DON'T WANT TO HIT A PUNCHING BAG WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?
I have an inflatable bag that is available. If not, shadowboxing is wonderful. I think it's an activity that is often underutilized in boxing classes. You can wear boxing gloves when shadowboxing, if you'd like, for a bit of extra weight.
WHAT TYPE OF EQUIPEMENT DO YOU HAVE?
Lots! Resistance cords & bands, kettlebells, dumbbells, TRX resistance & Rip trainers, stability balls, balance pad, BOSU, Pilates reformer, sandbells & sandrope, agility ladder, weight bench, speed bag, five punching bags, medicine balls, curl bar, various weighted body bars and a Bellicon rebounder.
It's a very well equipped small gym.
