11 Years of Fitness Kickboxing Cheltenham

Shall I share another memory??? Hell Yeah

It’s been 11 years since we launched our Fitness Kickboxing Cheltenham Courses at Cheltenham Martial Arts & Fitness Kickboxing . (By the way 11 is a master number in numerology, its many representations include transformation).

Today, I want to share with you one of the most memorable experiences of my life - my trip to New York my instructor Master Stephen Thompson in 2012 to learn more about fitness kickboxing and how to make it successfully work.

Not only did I gain valuable knowledge about how to plan and structure each class, I learned about the sports psychology both in and outside of classes. Which basically meant back to the drawing board… As although the first month went well, we had missed some key elements. So we changed it up and made it what it is today!

However, let me tell you, my time in the Big Apple truly transformed me!

From that point I went back each year (up until the pandemic) and even joined an Elite Mastermind Group within the Fitness & Martial Arts Industry, during each stay, I found great mentorship from some of the best business, martial arts and fitness coaches in the world.

Their guidance and expertise helped me shape, develop, and evolve the fitness kickboxing & Martial Arts courses that we run at Cheltenham Martial Arts to what they are today

It's amazing to think that what I learned in New York all those years ago still impacts the lives of our members today. Thank you so much to Michael Parrella & your team

I still seek out the best mentorship for all areas, I’ve taken a lot of risks when the time has come to level up, some worked, some didn’t. We learn and we move forward.

Obviously I stay on top of my Martial Arts along with Michelle Allinson and Donna Furlong whom I am extremely proud of, they have truly understood what it is I set out to achieve all those years ago. This allows us to adapt and be versatile when we teach, it’s just part of some of the secret ingredients that have gone into designing the full experience for our members, from the very moment they enquire

When the pandemic came I could see the impact it was going to have on a lot of our mental health.

So I’m extremely proud of the fact we gave all of our classes away for FREE during lockdown, provided numerous online courses, launching online training without hesitation before the lockdown was announced, teaching 3 classes per day from my living room via Zoom, I knew I had made the right decision!

I’m also proud that I kept all staff on their full wage, this did cost me a lot of personal finance, but it felt like the right thing to do.

I am also proud of the opportunities it has brought to others, who were starting their fitness coaching journey just a few years ago, giving them the experience and training to lead a class.

I'm proud of the positive impact Cheltenham Martial Arts & Fitness Kickboxing Cheltenham has had on so many people.

It all started with a dream and vision, No better place to learn than the best.

This is what I love and do! And I love it even more when someone who came in for fitness decides “actually I want to know more about martial arts and work towards becoming a Black belt’.

It’s important to look back down the mountain, celebrate these monumental moments of decision that became the start of a epic journey.

I love inspiring stories, so please let me know what did you do in the past that has greatly impacted the lives of others ever since?
