30 Day Challenge Blog
Wednesday, January 25th, 2012
I am a victim of the New Years resolution- for sure. I decided to jump into 2012 doing a cannon ball and come out of the other side in 2012 making barely a splash – thanks to downsizing my size at LA Boxing!!
You can not beat the results achieved while learning a few new defensive techniques and burning calories galore with each class!PLus what a tension releaser. If you have tensions and stress that build up take it out on a bag, safely, channel those feelings and thoughts right out of your life. Whether you love to build muscle or burn fat, the workouts do it all, and the fun thing is you dont have to think about it all. Just go and complete a class. I love the workout , the individual looking souls that are working out with me , the responsiveness of the staff and the uniqeness of ever trainer and every class. LA Boxing is unlike any another workout I have ever been through and I love that anyone can do it. You dont need to know anything about fitness, you just have to have the heart to want to enhance yourself and the will power to know that change is a possibility . I started the classes taking as many breaks as I needed during the class and now, well, I break maybe once or twice within 3 weeks.
I have to tell on myself with a recent class over at Highlands Ranch. There is a new trainer, and his expertise is extensive in the “true grit” category, so when we went to his first class, we were skeptical. Working out during the class there were a few muscle burning moments but nothing too bad and then – 60 minutes was done, and my workout buddy and I were thinking, ” piece o cake- that was WAY easy ” LOL! Jokes on me. When waking up this morning, I was surprised as I let out a slight yelp when I activated my thigh muscles to stand on. If not for the bed, directly behind, I would have toppled on to the dog bed -much to puppys surprise! I made a point to eat my words with the GM over a HR in hopes he would retract my ” it was pretty easy comment” before I return tonight for another class with new guy as class instructor. Needless to say, just because it seems a breeze doesnt mean it wont knock you over like a hurricane once it sits in. So today , while you browse through your computer contemplating fitness remember! your workout should show you results physically and mentally all the time- its not just about looking how you want ( although thats the goal ) its about living your life and your body to the fullest! SO get in there find your favorite trainer, your favorite class and thrive, not just survive!!! Hope to see you at the bags. ; )

LA Boxing A Headliner
Monday, June 14th, 2010
Chris Underwood has opened Oklahoma’s first LA Boxing location at Regal Plaza. LA Boxing is a unique fitness center that specializes in boxing, kickboxing and mixed martial arts. It is open seven days a week and is available to all skill levels.
What makes LA Boxing unique is its method of getting people in shape. Essentially, participants work out using one of the sports offered. However, instead of fighting, the workout is done with a large punching bag. “We have taken the combative sports and structured them into fitness programs,†says Underwood. “Most members have never boxed or done any type of martial arts before, and they gain these skills at LA Boxing. At LA Boxing, members are not just paying to go in and punch bags. “They are actually getting a service from us. We are working them out. When they come in the class, they know they are going to get the best workout of their lives.†Classes are set up in a group setting similarly to a yoga or Pilates class, but here you get more one-on-one attention than is typical for group fitness classes.
All the instructors are professional fighters in their respective sports. Underwood adds, referring to the students, that the instructors “motivate them, encourage them and also push them beyond their thresholds to where they improve. We have people here who have lost 100 pounds in six months. It’s crazy.†The average participant can burn up to 800 to 1500 calories in an hour depending on how hard he or she works out.
Classes include Boxing and Kick Boxing class, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and mixed martial arts. LA Boxing has youth classes available that are perfect after school activities. Sparing is available also for those who want to take themselves to the next level. The weight room upstairs has everything one would need for strength and conditioning workouts to supplement the classes. LA Boxing is the ultimate fitness center.
LA Boxing offers one free trial class to everyone. Memberships can be month-to-month or one or more years long. They even have a walk-in fee for those individuals who just want one workout. Underwood offers family programs, student, military and law enforcement discounts.
LA Boxing is available online at www.laboxing.com/tulsa and is on Twitter and Facebook.
Tustin Corridor: Incredible Hulk statue gets to stay
Saturday, July 18th, 2009
Orange officials have allowed the owner of an LA Boxing Gym to display a statue of the Incredible Hulk that was originally deemed to have violated multiple zoning codes.
In June, gym owner Bryson Miller bought the 9-foot-tall, 80-pound statue made out of polyurethane foam from a company that made 240 “The Incredible Hulk†statues as decorations for theaters showing the 2008 movie, starring Edward Norton. Miller paid $7,000 for the statue, featuring the Hulk in boxing shorts and gloves and now with the LA Boxing logo, and put it on a trailer in the gym parking lot. Less than two days later, Miller said a code-enforcement officer made him remove the statue.
“They said he didn’t conform with any of the codes,†Miller said. “He was too big, he was too wide and he was too green.â€
Miller said his father suggested taking his story to the press.
Less than a week after a story ran in The Orange County Register and on television, Miller said Mayor Carolyn Cavecche stopped by the gym to arrange a meeting between him and city officials.
“She was making every point to get me in there,†Miller said. “She was really cool.â€
City spokesman Paul Sitkoff said Miller fulfilled certain conditions to allow the statue to be displayed.
“The Hulk has been placed on a trailer, moves around and is no longer permanently affixed outside the storefront,†Sitkoff said. “It is supposed to be stored in back at night. As long as this is the case, it is no longer in violation.â€
Miller said his business has tripled in the three weeks the Hulk has stood outside his business.
“Before I got him, I averaged 30 memberships a month,†Miller said. “Last month, I got 87.â€
Cavecche said she was trying to promote business in the city.
“I felt it was an issue for a local businessman who was trying to do well for the city of Orange,†Cavecche said. “I’m thrilled that it’s working out for him.â€
