Is there a standout memory or moment from one of your classes that you'll never forget?

When Kes told me if I were to go any slower, I would be going backwards

That session I got lapped by every single member in class…

You've experienced a variety of trainers over the years—has there been one who stood out the most to you and why?

I’m genuinely not just saying this, each of the trainers at Undercard are all second to none,

Kes – Head Honcho aka Head Ball Buster, no one pushes you harder than him. Under his tough exterior (I swear I have seen him smile, once!), you can tell he is invested in you and your progress.

Jasper – Mini Kes in the making, Deputy Head Ball Buster. He is the ultimate smiling assassin, don’t be fooled by his charm he will throw rogue burpees whenever he deems fit.

Josh – No one brings energy like him, he is sunshine in human form. 

Had you boxed before joining Undercard? What advice would you give to someone who's interested but feels intimidated or unsure about taking that first step?

I had never boxed before joining the mighty UC. I always thought of myself as a lover not a fighter but turns out that there is a fighter in there after all…

The best advice I could give is to put on your big girl pants and go in fists first! 

How did you first discover Undercard, and how have our workouts impacted your fitness compared to other types of workouts you've tried?

Living in Bondi Junction for several years, I had regularly seen hot sweaty messes walking in and out of the UC golden arches. I am now embarrassed to say, that I had talked myself out of it and said I am not fit enough. However, now I have been a member for over a year, my only regret is that I didn’t put on my big girl pants soon enough.

The bang for your buck you get at UC is nuts, you will walk out completely f*cked up within the hour – without fail! The secret ingredient of undercard is that you keep coming back for more and more. Calling all my fellow masochists out there, this ones for you!

The community at Undercard plays a big role in everyone's experience. How has it influenced your decision to continue training with us?

The people in that building make the classes, 100%. 

I mean it when I say the minute the door closes, the lights go off, and Kes clears his throat on the mic, you are all in it together. Every single person in there wants you to win. Which is what is so special about this place. Even when you don’t think you can do it yourself, the people by your side sure as f*ck do.

Not forgetting the glue that holds the place together, the CEO of Towels aka Nadsy. Despite his huge workload of ensuring all towels are folded to perfection, he still manages to greet you with the biggest smile as soon as you walk in.

What would you say to someone who's hesitant about joining Undercard and might feel unsure about jumping in?

Speaking as someone who struggles with confidence and bottled joining for a few years, my regret is not joining sooner! So the best advice I can give is go and give it a red hot crack.
