Total Fitness Kickboxing – East Brainerd was opened on January 15 and has managed to secure one hundred and seventy-five clients so far. It has other branches in Memphis, Tennessee, Murfreesboro, Tennessee, two others in Texas.
The idea of starting this business came up from a trip to Memphis to take classes; it was a one-way six-hour drive just, so she could take a kickboxing class. Beth’s brother-in-law advised her to open a training center in Chattanooga. Taking his advice, Beth opened the Total Fitness kickboxing gym in Chattanooga.
What is the main challenge experienced during this first year of business?
The most challenging part about this first year is making people understand that any age group can do this workout, whether you are ten or seventy-four. Currently, the oldest client is seventy-four. The workout is the same but the different age groups do them at their own pace. Total fitness kickboxing modifies the exercises, for example when executing jumping jacks you do not have to jump, you could step up as an alternative.
Four Reasons Why Total Fitness Kickboxing is different
- Total Fitness Kickboxing deals with real bags. Their bags lay on the floor, when a person beats on it, they get resistance training that helps shape their muscles.
- The workouts are only forty-five minutes long and they allow a person to burn up to one thousand calories, shape, and tone their muscles.
- The workout session is very fun and most people prefer to work with the bags than with another person.
- The gym does not have mirrors including in the bathrooms because it believes that a person critics themselves very harshly. Thus, when you are in the Total Fitness Kickboxing gym there is no judgment. Very many women who subscribe to the gym feel like they have gained back their confidence because of this.
The gym takes part in events. For example, it organized one with the Alzheimer’s Association for a twenty-five dollar donation per person. All the proceeds went to the association. Another event is coming up on August 25 with the American Cancer Society and the donation is twenty-five dollars per person too. Total Fitness Kickboxing gym does not retain any of the proceeds of the events.
The gym does not have a specific center or front. The position of the instructor determines where the clients will face, but most of the time the instructor navigates through the room as he or she teaches the class. The number of people per class varies but the ten o’clock class is the most popular on weekdays. On weekends, the nine o’clock class is the most popular. Tuesday is the least popular day.
How are people finding Total Fitness Kickboxing?
Beth has personally approaching people within the area and asking them if they are interested in taking part in kickboxing classes. Additionally, the gym has social media pages on Instagram, Facebook, and a website. There is also a referral program that awards members gifts such as free classes or membership. This is a good deal for people who prefer working out with their friends and loved ones. Members can earn a free membership for life with this program.
