The Secret to Weight Loss?
“In 2009, I was overweight, overworked, and over my appearance. I tried all the shortcuts, but nothing worked except HARD WORK! After years of stagnant living, it was safe to say I didn’t like moving much. Your regular, generic style gym wasn’t for me (still isn’t), team sports weren’t either, walking was too boring, and I was too big to run. It wasn’t until I found something I loved that my weight loss journey started to take off.
That’s when, in mid-2009, I discovered Muay Thai! For me, battling obesity by taking up Muay Thai was a life-changing decision. I lost almost 40 kilograms in my first year! So what was my secret? Passion!
“So if you want my advice, don’t get stuck in the loop of resistance training, boot camp, or generic cardio. Find something you are passionate about. Find something that makes working out a reward, and not a chore. Maybe it is running, resistance training, or boot camp. But don’t do it because that’s what everyone else does. Find something you love, and naturally, you will do anything you possibly can to improve at it.”
Why Choose Muay Thai?
- Effective Weight Loss – Muay Thai is a high-intensity workout that burns a significant number of calories in each session. The combination of cardio, strength training, and agility drills ensures a comprehensive workout that targets all major muscle groups. If you’re in Geelong and looking for a fun and effective way to lose weight, our Muay Thai classes are the answer.
- Stress Relief – Engaging in physical activity is one of the best ways to relieve stress, and Muay Thai is no exception. The intense workout helps release endorphins, which are natural mood lifters. You’ll leave each class feeling refreshed and more focused, ready to tackle whatever comes your way.
- Building Confidence and Discipline – Muay Thai isn’t just about physical fitness; it’s also about mental strength. The discipline and focus required in each session help build self-confidence and mental resilience. These skills are invaluable both inside and outside the gym.
