I'm a college professor in my fifties and my daughter said she wanted to do muay Thai. My response?…read more"What's a muay Thai?" I really didn't feel like arguing with a 12-year old girl, so I called the gym and spoke with Jon. Just talking to him on the phone felt inviting, and he said all she needed was a t-shirt and a pair of shorts, so we dropped by. My daughter and my son met some kids in the kids muay Thai class and became pretty fast friends while I sat in the gym watching their lessons. After about a month of just sitting there I decided I should probably be doing something physical. At first I was terrified to join the adult class, but every one of those folks reached out to offer assistance, telling me how to stand, how to hold my hands, how to throw punches, etc., and pretty soon it became a comfortable, regular thing. The conditioning classes are responsible for dropping my heart rate by 20 points and my BP went from 130/95 or so to 120/70. While I haven't lost much weight, I get weekly BMIs done and have lost about 15 pounds of fat while gaining about 15 pounds of muscle. It's a lot of work and sweat, but I love the community and even encourage students in my college classes to give it a whirl. You can't go wrong at Lafayette Strong -- everyone in that community is dedicated to helping themselves and everyone else to get better physically and at life in general. It has been the best adult decision I think I ever made.

Every class is set up for real life scenarios from someone trying to stab you to strangling to just fighting. You learn actual real ways to defend yourself which I can say as a traveling woman give you some peace of mind. I feel stronger and safer knowing And practicing these things in a safe environment. And everyone is so friendly and encouraging. The instructor Justin is always right there to help whoever needs it and correcting your form and technique. He has always had a positive attitude and I've felt welcomed since day one. 10/10 would recommend!
