Fitness Important to You? Then Check Out Hammer Time Fitness Studio

At the beginning of May I received a Groupon in my emails. It was for Hammer Time Fitness Core Boxing. The retail price for 10 classes was $100, and they had 66% off. I paid $34 for the classes. The nearest one to me was at, 6313 Adams Street, New Port Richey, Florida.

Before I purchased this I emailed Christine to find out whether it would be for a 63 year old women. She assured me that it would be fine.

This place is so close to home that I went the following week. My husband Len came with me, as he used to do martial arts. Christine told me that I was the only one in the class, so Len stayed to watch.

I had a warming up period, and then did the circuit of equipment. There was a heavy bag to punch, a punch ball, then a red bag to punch, a dummy named Joe, another red bag, 2 steppers, and a bag in the centre that was on wire, so that it moved.

I did a minute on each of these, including jabs, uppercuts, hooks, weaving, and kicks. I took to it immediately. Then Christine had me doing exercises, and aerobics. She worked me really hard, and then I had stretching again to finish up.

During the hour long workout I stopped frequently for water, and to dry any sweat with my towel. Len was totally blown away that I could workout for an hour, and not slowdown or stop. Christine told us that she had younger people than me, that had thrown up after twenty minutes.

I have now completed my ten classes. As well as doing all the above, we go for a jog outside, to warm up, skipping while running outside, and so much more. I have learned many skills that I will continue to practise.

As I continued going through these classes, which have been over a period of almost two months, the classes have increased to 9 or 10 people. That is about the maximum you can get in the room, and be able to workout.

I would say that the average age is late twenties to thirties. These ladies all felt comfortable with each other, and chatted while doing the class. When I pared up with another person to box, they were fine with me, and we exchanged pleasantries, but I feel that I didn't fit in with the crowd.

They have Boot Camp, Kick Boxing, and Flirty Fitness Burlesquercise as well. The classes are run by a personal trainer. You can pay per class, which is $10, or pay $150 for 1 month unlimited camps. They are open 6 days a week, but you have to phone for the times of classes. You sign a form to begin with, as you do with any fitness program, but there is no contract. You will need to take your own bottle of water, and a towel.

I gave Christine my dates for each class, but she told me that I could just turn up, if I wanted to.

I am not going back after the ten classes. If I was 25 years younger I would have felt more comfortable with the clientele that workout there.

I went to the 11.00 a.m. class, but they have early morning, and after work classes too.

As mentioned above I went to the New Port Richey location, telephone 727-916-1655, but they also have classes in Trinity, and Tarpon Springs.
