I am taking a kickboxing class. I thought I was in pretty good shape before the class, but during the 1st class I realized that maybe I wasn't. For about the 1st 3 wee ks I was extremely sore after each class. Now halfway through the class I feel that I am in much better shape and am no longer struggling to walk up the steps in my apartment after class. I lost about 5lbs since starting this class and have gained a lot of muscles tone especially in my arms. Its was a really great class!

I like this class (Total Body Makeover) because my body has become stronger, I lost 10lbs, and the muscle pains I often have without exercising go away with exercise.

Jackie makes working out fun and a joy to come to - I know I'm getting a workout - I always feel it the next day! There has definitely been an improvement in my cardiovascular endurance in the weeks since I've started working out with Jackie O.

I took kickboxing for the first time. The most apparent thing I noticed was an increased flexibility because I never had done fitness exercises with kicking and punching before. My body started to become more toned and it gave me a good introduction to the different types of weight training. Overall, it gave me new innovative ways to workout. The class is a lot of fun! I normally dreading classes and this one is fun!
