This April, ProHealth West Wood Health & Fitness Center kicked off its holiday celebration early with an Easter Kickboxing class on Saturday, April 19. Holiday Kickboxing classes have an extra zing compared to other group exercise classes, with high spirits and infectious energy from the members. This Cardio Kickboxing class was one for the books, and we are looking forward to the next holiday class.
Fitness Specialist Sarah Buszkiewicz has taught the holiday classes for as long as she can remember. “It is SO FUN to celebrate the holidays with my fitness family,” she says. “It wouldn’t even feel like a holiday if I didn’t start it with this class.”
Her favorite thing about teaching holiday classes? “Reuniting with members who have moved away and come to visit when they are home for the holidays,” Sarah says. “Holidays are also my favorite because we all work extra hard. The room is always full of energy, but especially at a holiday party in Studio One. There really is no place like Studio One. I really feel extremely fortunate to have this kind of fun in my life,” she adds.
Members had a great time at Easter Kickboxing, including long-time member Christine Vanhule. “I attended this event because the energy and fun of a Cardio Kickboxing class is like nothing else at West Wood. It’s SO difficult, yet SO rewarding,” she says. “Getting an incredible workout with the instructor giving 100% of herself to the class and having us all do the same is amazing. I love the music, energy, hard work and having Sarah laugh with us during class, even when we are working crazy hard.”
The community at these classes is so special, and participants really feel connected by the end of class. “I feel pure joy when we are done, and everyone, including Sarah, gives a fist bump or pat on the back to everyone in class,” Christine tells us. “Cardio Kickboxing class makes us feel happy, fulfilled, welcomed and part of a special community.”
Cardio Kickboxing is an all-encompassing, super high-energy workout that maintains high levels of aerobic performance to get your heart pumping. The class combines interval training with boxing moves and kicking maneuvers designed to maximize athletic performance. Plyo jumps and bodyweight drills are offered as options to challenge all ages and fitness levels.
