Andy,

Thanks for today, well worth the trip. Each part was broken down into bite size chunks, making it easier to understand the mechanics of the movement. Despite my inflexibility I feel reasonably confident that I can perform the movements correctly and safely. I didn't quite realise what a beasting (Army parlance for hard physical exercise) it was going to be!! I for one would have paid extra to attend that session.

Cheers,

Andy,

Really enjoyed the course on the weekend.  Trying to give some feedback I don't really have any critiscism, It was enjoyable and informative and pretty well organised.  The progression through the exercises was well done.

The most helpful things were talking about how the hips were involved, and how to open the hips.  I don't think I really understood this before.  The exercise where we jumped from the floor opening our hips powerfully and then quickly landing in the sort of power clean landing posture was helpful (I hope you know what I mean from this clearly shite description).  Also where you got me to perform the clean very slowly with light weight.  Until I did this I didn't really know what order I was doing things in.  I was just kind of picking the weight up and it was somehow getting to my shoulder.  It showed that I needed to engage with my hips before pulling with my shoulders.  This was really helpful in trying to understand the move, and hopeful with a bit more practice this will become engrained.  All in all I enjoyed the course and feel that I got a lot from it.

Cheers

"I’ve been doing Boxercise for about 6 months now and really enjoy it,the benefits I noticed pretty much after the first 4 weeks which were, toned arms,legs and tummy, also my stamina increased, so at the gym I was doing heavier weights and working much faster. About 2 months ago I began to incorporate Cross Fit into my weekly schedule And now I’m hooked!! Its hard work but what a great feeling after that you’ve really pushed yourself. Andy gives you advice and encouragement and makes it good fun".  Julie, Boxing & Crossfit

"I joined Andy’s classes about 6 months ago, I had gained weight and my clothes where tight, in fact on the verge of splitting!

I have tried the Gym and many other forms of weight loss activities with little success therefore I was sceptical as to it success. However those days have gone, I feel more confident about myself and healthier not to mention trimmer after enduring many of Andy’s workouts!

Andy is a hard task master who doesn’t take no or ‘ I can’t do this’.. for an answer, he gives you plenty of encouragement ,in turn creating a friendly, fun and warm environment, every session being different and exciting he pushes you to your limits with his many varied activities.

I never thought that lifting huge sandbags around and swinging kettle bells not forgetting the dreaded ‘Burpees’ could actually be an achievable task for me, but it is, Its given me a great sense of personal achievement, I have realised that I am stronger than I ever imagined and my stamina has improved vastly over the last few months and it is going from strength to strength. The results show too, I have lost 2 stone in weight and dropped a couple of dress sizes without having to cut out all the enjoyable things in life like wine!!! I would recommend Andy’s classes to anyone who enjoys a laugh along with a hard workout at the same time". Nicky boxing & crossfit

"Until I started boxercise with Andy, I hadn't been to the gym for at least a year, despite paying a monthly membership fee. I found gym programmes repetitive and stale and had little enthusiasm for using the equipment. Andy's class has given me renewed enthusiasm for and enjoyment of exercise. The classes are varied and Andy pushes us to make us work to our limits. The physical rewards are already apparent, i.e. fat burning, increased stamina and more toned. The changes have increased my confidence and my overall health has improved." Sally Boxing
