I started doing Muay Thai when I still lived in Hawai'i.
It was a good workout, both physically and emotionally; it felt great to punch and kick things after another day of hating my job!
I also liked the gym's location; it was in Honolulu proper, on Dillingham, so the ocean really wasn't far, and because of this, oftentimes, when we practiced outside, we got to do so under a rainbow. The people there were great, too.
When I moved back here, everything kind of fell apart, and I just didn't have time to start looking for a gym. I honestly think part of the reason I put it off for so long was that I was/am afraid whatever place I join here isn't going to be as good.
Having said that, I need an outlet ASAP, so I've been looking around a bit.
You can tell it's become ultra trendy now, looking at the number of gyms around here, compared to the number of gyms here the last time I lived here.
I'm guessing the gym membership fee will probably reflect the surge in popularity...oh well.
Doing Muay Thai under the rainbow with great people?
ReplyDeleteI hope you find a gym that comes somewhat close what you had in Hawai'i :-)
That's really interesting. My dad does Filipino martial arts.
ReplyDeleteEverything is overly priced right now. I hope you find a spot that will give the same vibes.
ReplyDeleteMuay Thai sounds like a hard workout, good on ya mate!
ReplyDeleteKicking and boxing things, sound like fun!, Sometimes one needs that. It is amazing how much better working out makes you feel after a stressful day at work. I miss that.
ReplyDeleteMuay Thai is great workout and it's great for defense! Defiantly continue it!
ReplyDeleteGetting to work out under a rainbow sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe gyms out here sound very different. I go to the Eos on Craig. Since the gym is fairly new, its crazy packed. Lots of juice heads there but it's still a nice gym. They have a lot of squat/deadlift areas and all of their machines are in newer condition than other locations. I personally think Eos is a better option than LVAC or Planet Fitness, but maybe I'm just biased.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the energy to do it also. Seems fun!!!
ReplyDeleteMartial arts are fascinating! I think its excellent as a medium of exercise, and I don't think everyone has to be a competitive figure in it to want to practice it. good luck and be safe!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the motivation to workout haha! Have fun working out!
ReplyDeleteMartial arts are a great outlet to process stress and turn it into positive energy by strengthening both body and mind.
