What first brought you to Undercard, and what has kept you coming back?

I was always interested in doing boxing to improve my overall fitness and one day I walked by Undercard on my way home and saw that they were doing an introductory offer which I thought would be a good way to see if I liked it.

I’ve kept coming back since because I love the structure of the classes and the fact that no class is ever the same. You are really pushed in the classes but you feel so good afterwards. There is also such a lovely community at Undercard.

How has the Undercard community impacted your training experience?

Everyone is so supportive of each other in the classes and it really makes such a difference to my training. It can feel like the toughest 50 minutes of your life at times, but everyone is in the same boat in there and there is such a nice atmosphere in the room. Everyone is encouraging of each other, whether we get a woo or a fist bump, it’s just a lovely reminder that we are all in it together.

Do you have a favourite memory?

I don’t have a specific memory but I really enjoy the Saturday morning classes. Everyone is in such good form, the vibes are good and it is just a lovely way to start the weekend.

Do you have a favourite trainer?

I think all of the trainers are brilliant so I can’t pick a favourite. Kes, Josh, Jasper & Laura are all so supportive and encouraging. They bring the energy to the classes and push you to your limits. There is no hiding in there so be prepared to work hard. 

What advice would you give to someone who is looking at Undercard now but might feel intimated by it?

Just go for it. There really is no need to be intimidated, everyone has to start somewhere and like I said above, everyone is so welcoming and honestly if I can do it, anyone can!

What’s one thing you’ve learned at Undercard that’s made a big difference in your life outside of the gym?

Don’t expect to be a pro overnight. As long as you keep turning up and being consistent you will see results. Also make sure you enjoy the journey along the way and don’t be afraid to try new things.
