The Dojo has opened a whole world of fitness, health, confidence, and motivation for me and my daughter. I had been looking for something interesting to try to stay motivated and increase my fitness level. She had been looking for something fun and physical, other than a team sport. I signed up for the Basics HIIT class and gave it a try despite never enjoying a typical gym atmosphere. It had been a long time since I had made the time to take care of myself. I was worried about my first class, but I was hooked! I was relieved it wasn’t like a typical gym at all! My daughter signed up for kickboxing one night and I went along to be her partner to check it out. She was also hooked after that first class, despite having Mom sing to some of the warm-up music. Now, we participate in HIIT and kickboxing together and have a blast!
We are proud of our progress in learning different exercises and drills, our fitness levels, and our confidence. We look forward to our classes, chatting with the coaches, and laughing with our new Dojo friends. It’s a comfortable space to take some risks and enjoy being active. The coaches are encouraging and naturally create a friendly environment. I am grateful to have a space to be active with my children as the Dojo really is for the whole family. It’s also a family we’re grateful we have joined.
