F.I.T.

Fighter Inspired Training

 
 

The 1990's brought about a whole new level of fitness programs, including water aerobics, spin classes, and most notably the martial art styled programs of Tae Bo, Cardio Kick, Kickercise and more. Why did many of the programs fail despite great marketing ? Lack of genuineness.

While many began under the guidance of traing martial artists, they fell further and further from their roots as new instructors replaced others and posessed the skills to run the class, but often lacked the depth of knowledge in genuine martial arts, and the programs fell flat.

At Apex - F.I.T. was the brain child of Master Instructor McLaughlin  when it was decided that what people were wanting was a martial arts program with a fitness focus not a fitness class with a martial arts flavor. However unlike other programs, these programs are the personal and intimate creations of each of their instructors all of who have extensive backgrounds in martial arts and devotion to personal development.

F.I.T. Females - is a women only class which presently meets on Thursday mornings and is head by Tammy Lewsey. Tammy is a mother of two and has 5 years of training in the martial arts, is an avid runner  and devoted to her training and her students.

Fast F.I.T. - the focus here as you might have guessed is speed and agility. Lead by Jon Meinzer a 7 year veteran of the martial arts and and avid fitness devotee, Jon teaches his class to acheive a quickness they never thought posssible.

F.I.T. Power (Power Hour) - Power - different from strength is that power is useful and effective strength. Randy Bennett leads this class in a workout that has to be experienced to be believed. Randy has 9 years training in the martial arts and is a personal trainer.

Pick one or pick all three the choice is yours...

'KARATE CHANGED MY LIFE'

One of those "right decisions" was taking a martial arts class -- something which literally changed her life.

"Karate saved my life," she says. "It all stopped the day I broke two boards with a kick."

Armed with a newfound self-confidence and a fitter physique, Jillian became a certified fitness trainer, and auditioned for The Biggest Loser. After starring on the hit reality TV show since 2004, Michaels branched out by writing fitness books, releasing her own fitness DVDs and starring in her own spinoff, Losing It With Jillian.

Michaels, who's now helping other people transform their lives, confesses there are still lots of things she'd like to change about herself.

Power Hour

Power Hour was a great idea. Sensei Randy (does) an excellent job mixing up the activities. I'm looking forward to next week.

My New Found Strength

For the past two months, my Thursday mornings have comprised of kicking, punching, a hundred or so jumping jacks, spider drops and torturous leg lifts and I have looked forward to each one of them. 

I came into this "women's defense class" thinking one day a week will not benefit me in any particular way, but I have realized that it has been an awesome first-step in setting and achieving personal health goals. 

When I first joined, I was sore for days after the class and even though my activity level remains unchanged outside the class, I feel like I can cope with the exercises a lot better now.  I feel like it's one good thing I'm doing for myself and I walk away feeling great. 

Thank you for the opportunity ...

Thursday Mornings w/Tammy

… Suffice to say I’ve never been athletic. Lately, since one certain big birthday I’d been contemplating old age and … becoming a frail old granny with much dread. What to do?

Thursday marked my 12th class with Tammy. Her class is the highlight of my week. She pushes me further than I thought I could go.

At first I could barely do 35 jumping jacks … but now I’m getting stronger. I’ve started a training program to run a 5k thanks to this class. Tammy’s sense of humor and the way she instructs us really keeps me moving. So, the cardio part of the class has really begun to change my life. The frail old granny that was in my future is fading fast!

The self-defense part of class has been confidence building. … in this day and age it’s something all women should think about and plan for
