Redemption For Couch Potatoes

There are holes in our wallets that on a regular basis, seem to swallow coins, scribbled down phone numbers and coupons for that free ice-cream on your tenth visit, but most commonly, gym membership cards which are sucked up like that pasta you had for dinner... and for breakfast the next day. You try to persuade yourself to find it, swearing that it was right behind the Woolies and Macro cards, to the left of your gold express credit card ... or was it to the right of the all-you-can-eat-pizza-Tuesday coupon? Whatever the case, a sudden flourish of relaxation washes over you in waves as you realise that you no longer have a reason or the means to squeeze into your dusty, forgotten gym clothes while prancing around like the village idiot in a gym where only the skinny and beautiful seem to go. Where are normal people with a zest for life and exercise supposed to go then? The answer is abundantly clear, Redemption Martial Arts and Fitness Centre.
Redemption is located on Bree Street, Cape Town and is fast becoming the hottest new means to the hottest new you. The classes are vibrant, intense and guaranteed to work up a sweat. The evening group classes run for an hour each and consist of two session from which to choose from. First off there is a fast paced, music filled fitness class which blends authentic kickboxing training with intense calorie burning exercises and resistance training. The non-stop routine is filled with energy and power and may seem daunting to any couch potato, but under the watchful eye and expertise of pro fighter, Arran Mckenzie, the trials of exercise turn into an hour of sheer enjoyment and the burning of over1200 calories. Without the use of weights or machines, Arran turns your body into a portable gym by using your own body weight to tone and strengthen your limbs. By including some great beats to get your heart racing and blood pumping, you’ll be rearing to push beyond the limits of strength you thought you had to an entirely new level of fitness. Not only will you see and feel a difference in your body that night but the endorphin rush will leave you feeling rejuvenated and ready to survive another day in the concrete jungle.
The second class is focused around the training to kick some serious ass in the ring as a professional or amateur kick boxer but this doesn’t mean that you have to jump fist first into the ring. The class focuses on technique, stance and power while building muscle and taking names. It may not burn up the calories to the extent of the first class; this is a session not to be taken lightly. With strength exercises, overwhelming punching bags and a routine to fire up even the most timid of individuals, one not only gains toned muscles, strength and the body of a god but also a higher level of self-respect, discipline and a love for intense training. Fuelled once again with heart racing music, your body and mind are put to the test and you’re left, crawling back for more.
This is the redemption that all couch potatoes and those just looking for a fun, exuberant new road to fitness have been looking for. Redemption will help you to gain your body’s full potential without the fuss, crowds, machines and rush of a gym. Here you are treated as though you are attending a one on one training session and are pushed to give it your all. Yet if your couch has left some extra cushioning on your sides and a full one on one session is what you need, Arran can supply you with just that. Join today for a more fulfilled you tomorrow.
