Wow is all I have to say. I just went through some of the fitness ads on craigslist and it exhausted me. They all make claim they are best and tell you why they are the best.” Lose weight in 12 weeks,” Lose weight in 21 days,” “Do you need to be accountable,” “fat burning high energy,” it goes on and on and on.
My name is Damien. I just recently (3 weeks ago) started training at this gym. I never liked the gym and always made excuses as to why I can’t go. Don’t get me wrong, I have joined in the past and ended up having to pay for a membership I was not using. But this time I really wanted to commit. I’ve always wanted to explore the sport of fighting so I figured I join a Boxing gym. Well after some research I narrowed it down to my two choices. One was in North Miami Beach and the other located in Normandy @ North Beach.

I didn’t know what to expect being this is my first time going to a gym like this. I’m used to those smaller gyms that have all the equipment and you pay 45 dollars a month. You know, you walk in there with no clue what to do. Lift some weights, run on the treadmill, and look at yourself in the mirror. Not this time. I was going to become a fighter!!

So I went to check out the gym in N.M.B. Now it was a very nice place. It had a normal gym set up along with the heavy punching bags and kind of a corporate feel too it. It was very exciting for me. I picked the class I wanted to take and got ready for the session. I mess around with some of the equipment, took in the view and before I knew it, time for class.
Now you have to understand one thing I have never been inside a gym like this and I thought it was going to be kind of like karate class. Well it wasn’t. The music comes on and the instructor starts to instruct. So I’m there doing my thing, keeping up as best I can, feeling good. By the end I was worn out. I did enjoy it very much. I was happy. I told the staff I will be back.

The second Gym is located in Normandy. From the moment you walk into this place you get the sense of being inside a real fight gym, the décor, the layout, the vibe. Inside the gym it has everything you need to train. Heavy bags and speed bags, weights and machines, boxing ring and they even mix up spinning with their work outs. So it 10 mins till show time and I’m getting my hands wrapped by an older gentleman. Turns out he’s an old pro boxer and offers private training. Anyways the instructor calls out to everyone to get by your bags.

Now the other place played music but this place was like being inside a night club. It was Awesome! The music is blasting- you and about 25 to 30 other people are going at these bags like pros, you have strobe lights flashing and those alarms you hear while you are at a club is going off. You get so motivated, you take everything you have built inside you and plant it right on that bag. It’s by far was the best time I ever had working out. Since then I’ve been going Six Day a week. I’m feeling and looking good.

You must be wondering why I’m I telling you this. Well it’s pretty simple. I want you to check it out for yourself. See there are many programs out there that can help you lose weight. You just need to find one you are comfortable with. So I offer you a three day free pass and unlimited use of the gym and classes. This is a no pressure and you can walk away from this offer anytime .So feel free to email me and I will send you your personal invitation. Or just stop by the gym and ask for me. Either way works. If you like bring a friend they are free as well. The website is www.NormandyBoxingGym.com
You have nothing to lose.
