I've never done kickboxing,
and I barely go to the gym.
That's OK! Most of us are 'not gym' people that feel anxiety simply by thinking about the gym.
We have all body types at YYC Kickboxing, and all ages from youth members to 85 years young. You move at your own pace and speed, stop when you need to, and take breaks if you need a breather. Our coaches are great at providing modifications for those just getting started, and only 'coach' you for safety (unless you ask for tips!)
You don't need any skills to do our style of kickboxing - we're less Mortal Kombat and more flailing at bags. BUT... unlike wandering around the gym for an hour, at YYC Kickboxing you will KNOW you've worked out at the end. (Bring a towel, you get drippy!)
No one needs one more errand to run and one more place you have to show up at just to muscle through and feel meh. From great tunes to hilarious coaches and regular peeps low-key dying alongside you, our studio is totally tubular and very down-to-earth. High-fives and belly laughs are FREE with every class, and we solemnly vow to NEVER take ourselves too seriously.
Scout's honor.
But wait, if it's this fun, do I ACTUALLY get a workout?
You will be DRIPPING when you are done at the end of 45 minutes. You will find muscles you didn't know you had that are hurting in ways you didn't know was possible. That outside air will feel SO GOOD when you leave. But... you also will feel like a TOTAL BADASS because you DID THE THING and you will KNOW you did the thing.
It doesn't ever get easier, so don't let anyone BS you on that. You will always drip. And burpees will always make you feel juuuuust on the edge of puking.
BUT...
You get stronger. And more confident. And you know what? It feels GOOD to be a gangsta :D (POW!)
But what if people LOOK at me and think I look dumb. What if I'm the only one with my tummy hanging out?
What if no one wants to be my friend?
We are the friendliest group of goofballs in the city, ranging in age from 10 years old to 78 and everything in between. Most of us are in the 20 - 55 range, have tummies that we wish were tighter, have butts that we wish were smaller, and are doing the best we can to make life decent one day at a time.
We are the kids at the playground - we embrace newcomers (we were all you once!) and make you wish you showed up sooner. Authentic people who you want to get doughnuts with (because, really, we're all working out so we can hit the drive-through on the way home, amIright???)
