Cardio Kickboxing Workout

Friday, December 3rd, 2010

Here’s a great Cardio Kickboxing Workout put together by our fantastic MMA instructor Eloisa DeLeon from our new Cardio Kickboxing class at The Fitness Asylum in Milwaukee, WI.

Boxing Intervals: 3 Minutes on, 1 Minute Off

1- Jabs @ 30 seconds with immediate transition
2- Hooks @ 30 seconds with immediate transition
3- Upper Cuts @ 30 seconds with immediate transition
4- Front Kicks @ 30 seconds with immediate transition
5- Back Kicks @ 30 seconds with immediate transition
6- Side Kicks @ 30 seconds with immediate transition

The great thing about Cardio Kickboxing is that all you need is your bodyweight, plus some skilled instruction, to get in a great workout.

For fitness facility owners, it’s also a great walk-in or punch card class to offer to your campers or clients that can’t get enough of what you do.

Stay tuned for the NEW Boxing Intervals Workout Music Soundtrack that’s powering this workout next week!

ABS OBESSESION: Fill Your Camps with a Core Class!

Monday, July 19th, 2010

It never ceases to amaze me how much fitness enthusiasts LOVE to work their abs.

Every magazine cover you see these days talks about “flat, sexy abs” and a “tight tummy” and a “toned midsection” and for good reason… most people want to absolutely smoke their core and can’t get enough of it.

I saw this abs obsession in full bloom a couple weekends ago when we hosted a special TUMMY TIME bring-a-buddy bootcamp workout at THE FITNESS ASYLUM in Bay View, WI.

The house was full with about 50 attendees, over 20 of which were friends of our campers.

Check out a brief highlight video of the core stability workout we did using the 10-3 Core Stability Soundtrack powered by Workout Muse interval training workout music:


Here was the template for this workout, 10 s on, 3 s off for 6 straight sets followed by a 30-second rest and transition to the next exercise in the core stability circuit:

1- Front Pillar Variation

2- Left Side Pillar Variation

3- Right Side Pillar Variation

4- Left Side 3-Point Back Pillar Variation

5- Right Side 3-Point Back Pillar Variation

If you’re a bootcamp owner, I’m sure you’d love to put on a killer core class like this that could get you 5, 10, or even 20 or more hot leads.

In the business of fitness, NOTHING beats referrals and we prefer to build our program through word of mouth instead of overpriced paid advertising any day of the week ;)

Crank it!

PS- If you are a bootcamp owner, check out the exact email newsletter I sent out to my campers to promote the aforementioned bring-a-buddy workout that brought over 20 new people through our doors. Please feel free to modify for your own business:

Hey BJ,
It’s tummy time!!!
As I mentioned yesterday we will be having a special Bring-A-Buddy Core Workout Next Saturday July, 10th at 10 am at The Fitness Asylum in Bay View.
Here’s how it works:
1.) We need your buddies to arrive by 9:45 am to sign a release to exercise in case there are any casualties of war (joking… well, not really…). Plus they will be writing down who referred them so we can announce the winner at the end of the class.
2.) The camper who brings the most buddies will win a free massage for their efforts. If there is a tie we will do a sudden death tie breaker- either arm wrestling or a cage fight… not sure yet…
3.) The referral rewards program also takes effect as any buddy who signs-up as trial member will generate a $10 gift card for you and if they sign-up for membership that will generate a $50 gift card for you.
As I have mentioned before, we want to grow this program from within and get more good people like you involved and we will reward you for helping us do so ;)
In order to help you spread the word and get your buddies to come, I have provided a done-for-you Facebook update posting template below that I recommend you post 2-3 times over the course of the next week to hype up the class:
“It’s tummy time!!  Join me for a FREE Abs Workout on Saturday, July 10th at 9:45 am at The Fitness Asylum in Bay View- The Fitness Asylum, 2612 S. Greeley St, Suite 220, Milwaukee, WI 53207.”
Plus, here’s a real slick new way to spread the word on FB and go viral very quickly:
You can now tag your friends in your status or post. Type @ and then type the friend’s name. For example: “It’s tummy time!! I’m doing a core class with @John Smith.”
Crank it for Next Saturday!!
