Train Like A Yelper!

This panda got KO’ed 3x if not more… then again, i guess it didnt help on what i ate before hand because i didnt want to go empty stomach.
Gym itself is a Clean, friendly environment. Nice and bright. Felt fine originally but it got stuffy FAST !!
While waiting for previous class to end, Everyone got new hand-​wraps (To KEEP !) but i had some already because i was planning on coming here before but never had the chance to. The class prior to ours had some younger kids too ! surprising. friend said some members bring their kids and have them attend class too.
Jason was a great teacher. Urges you to push and push. Class itself is tough. Made me know how out of shape i am. Lots of movement. Not for the lazy nor the out of shape piggies. Basic boxing techniques, kickboxing techniques, cardio warm ups. All-​over non-​stop work out. I had forgotten how tiring boxing was. Will make sure to be a bit more in shape and not eat the wrong thing before i try this again XD
At the end of the class, everyone got a free month membership and was treated with Bowl of Heaven (delicious !)

A big THANK YOU to UFC Gym — Blue Diamond, Bowl of Heaven, Unilocal,Nate and Tiffanie for this absolutely fantastic event. I enjoy non-​restaurant events and have been wondering what happened to Unilocal Fit Club. Then, this happened! Hooray!!!
I’ve never formally tried kickboxing. I do have wraps and gloves and I was so close to joining the UFC gym by my house but I realized I have zero patience for wrapping my own hands. But I do enjoy punching and kicking like A LOT despite getting major cuts, bruises and bumps. Tonight, was no different. I ate glitter before the event so, I was glistening the entire workout.
Our instructor was Jason who was awesome. He gave us clear instructions on technique and form. He was there to motivate everyone so nobody quits. We were jump roping our way as our warm-​up. Jabs, hooks, upper cuts and kicks = great Monday stress release. Burpees, plank, crunches, flutter kicks, bicycle crunches, mountain climbers, push ups, vertical crunches, squats, squat jumps and jumping jacks. Sweaty hugs for everyone!
There was a Unilocal swag table with wrist bands, totes, water bottles, bottles of water and flavored water. Nate made his rounds making sure we were staying hydrated — very important! Nobody wants to pass out — my CPR card expired today so, you’re on your own. We also got to keep our hand wraps and also got a free 1-​month membership to the gym. Woohoo!
After sweating, we opened the door… a cool breeze caressed our wet skin and there it was… a big food truck. Oh wait, the food truck wasn’t the big yellow truck that says Penske?
To the black truck! The wonderful people from Bowl of Heaven were definitely angels for feeding us some healthy and delicious treats. North Shore bowls for everyone! It had acai, blueberries, pineapple, granola, bananas, honey, etc. They had extra bowls so, I got to take one home to give to my manfriend but I’m really tempted to eat it. Bowl of Heaven is opening their shop across the street from UNLV/​In n Out which will be open Mon-​Sat 8am-​6pm starting Wednesday. I get to go right before class! Yay!

This lady is down for the count! I have realized how out of shape I really am. Yikes!
I’d like to thank Nate, the UFC gym and Jason our trainer for burning off those Super Bowl calories I ate. Everyone at the gym were very friendly and welcoming of our Unilocal group.
After taping up our hands it was down to business. A constant workout of jabs, kicks and very hard calisthenics made the sweat pour. It was a basic introduction to their training which I’ll say is tough with a side of holy crap! Definitely a great workout and fun with Unilocalers. Looking around I know who not to mess with in the future! lol. The gym is clean and bags are wiped down after each class. Nice place.
After our butts were kicked, we were invited to try a new food truck called Bowl of Heaven. It was indeed. We sampled the North Shore Original which consisted of organic acai, strawberries, bananas, blueberries, organic granola and honey. I loved it. Healthy and so full of flavor. The owner came out and gave us the run down of their company and various menu items. Keep your eye out for them and give them a try!
I loved this Unilocal event getting exercise. Definitely a change of pace for me and well needed.

I was very excited to attend this elite event, as my schedule rarely allows me to participate in all the Unilocal fun. I consider myself fairly fit, as I hike, road bike, and practice taekwondo and was pleased at how good a workout we all got tonight. Jason, our coach, guided us through a solid hour of kicks, punches, crunches, push-​ups, and other exercises designed to make us sweat. We all wore real boxing gloves to protect our hands and punched and kicked our own bags. After a solid hour of cardio kickboxing (we only received a few, short water breaks), Jason released us from our self-​induced torture. :)
Rehydration and replenishment of nutrients were provided by Bowl of Heaven and our North Shore Original bowls (organic açai, strawberries, bananas, blueberries, granola) hit the spot. Healthy, delicious, and such a treat after that workout! Tip from Bowl of Heaven: don’t eat your bowls o’heaven with a metal spoon, as that alters the taste.
I really enjoyed meeting some Unilocalers — in person! finally! — and chatting with them. Thank you Nate, Tiffany, UFC staff, and Bowl of Heaven! Looking forward to seeing Patrick’s photos of this event and to the next elite gathering of Unilocalers.
