i'm going to my first kickboxing class tomorrow and i'm not sure what to expect..
have you ever been to a class? what was it like? i'm renting the equipment (gloves, etc) there so that i won't have to buy it if i don't like the class, but i was hoping to hear if any of you have had good or bad experiences with kickboxing!
thanks :)

    L-O-V-E-D Kickboxing! I think you will find it intense, but fun, fun, fun!!! Let us know what you think of it.

    Love it! My first lesson was the moment I realised I wanted to get really fit, it is very demanding, but the best cardio vascular exercise there is, and great for core. It's made me address so many things such as balance, flexibility. And it is technically quite demanding (don't be afraid of that, we all start at the beginning) so presents challenges that one becomes more and more determined to overcome. One of the best overall types of exercise going.

    Have fun!

    I only tried it a few times but I loved it. My gym doesn't offer the class so I went as a guest to my sister-in-law's gym. So much fun and I sweat like a pig.

    I train mma twice a week which has an element of kickboxing to it. Is always a great workout. I really do love it. Upping it to 3 times a week now :)
