Making Flipside Fitness History... Sunday, December 23

Today’s boxercise class ended with mixed emotions as tonight’s early evening class marked the last time Flipside Fitness will be training at UP Boxing Club.  It was a mixed emotion kind of event for me because it’s been a great run for us here but there was a moment of sadness as I clicked off the UP lights and said goodbye to the countless days, hours, and buckets of sweat experienced here together, the new friends met and parting of old ones, the stories shared, and the motions felt among us as a group training together.

There were some key people I really wished would have been at today’s last class, like Lovely Lady and Atomic-B – two of my boxercise originals.  Lovely Lady is now back living in the States but will one day returning (hopefully sooner than later) and Atomic-B choose attending my teammate’s fight today over joining us for the last ever Flipside Fitness boxercise class. 

I definitely support my teammates and I too wanted to go but Flipside Fitness is more of a priority to me at this point because of what the group means to me and the business venture I’m now on.  These ladies are my clients yes, but they're also my friends and, hopefully sooner than later, they'll quite possibly also become my new extended family members.  I have a family at UP Boxing Club but I'm more than ready to start my own family with Snickers -- our boxing club family.  I fully intend on carrying out my dreams and goals for what I started, whether or not others want to join in on the support or not.  I can’t let it bother me so I don’t. 

My teammate ended up losing his fight, TKO because of too much blood, but us gals at UP got in quite the last chance workout.  They LOVE the “Sick Six Ab Attack” circuit so we did two grueling rounds of that circuit. 

I thought about wearing the same outfit for training today that I had worn at our first boxercise class but it was too dang chilly for that.  I was overly hyper for the class and I blasted the tunes so loud.  Snickers stopped by to say hi to those that had come out for training and then after training us gals lingered around the boxing club, eating our post-training meal and getting cozy close to the space heater.
