She gave us some suggestions and convinced me to try it out as well. Have to say, I've take a few classes and I am hooked. Classes always start with warm ups and stretches, kickboxing at the bags and with partners, and then ends with stretches. I have mostly taken classes from Erik and Erika, father daughter duo. They give you a WORK OUT. My heart rate is always at least 150 and I'm dripping sweat every time I do it. The instructors also take the time to walk through the class and check up on everyone, ensuring the form is correct. There's a lot of great vibes going around and I've been given tips from more experienced students. This is the perfect gym environment for my wife who was initially intimidated. She's been going to classes by herself and I'm glad she's found her own motivation. I have IMPACT to thank for giving us that safe space to try and improve at our own comfortable pace. Although I haven't been back for a month due to health conditions, I am itching to put those gloves back on and box again! I highly suggest IMPACT for anyone looking for a chill, but intense (if that makes sense), gym environment with positive, motivating instructors that actually care about you.
