Two of our Babes prove that age is just a number
By Julia Feighner
July 17, 2009

     
   
   
   
   

(JULY 17) WBAN received a newsletter this week from Julia Feighner who operates a very "cool" boxing gym in Austin, Texas. Feighner offers a fun and effective workout in a safe, all-women environment. She recently interviewed a couple of her members in her gym that WBAN would like to share with boxing fans. 

Why did you join ABB?

I had tried various gyms, personal trainers, and weight loss programs without ever finding anything that was fun enough to stick with. Then I saw a news story on TV about Julia. She seemed passionate about what she was doing, and was encouraging to the people she was working with. Since I don't like to work out alone and hate static exercises, I decided to give it a try.

How has the program changed you?

By then end of that first session, I was hooked. Boxing is a fun and strenuous work out and I feel like I'm learning something new at every session. I'm already in better shape than I was when I was young. And, in Julia, I have found somebody to work with who I feel is on my side. I'm having fun, and that's not something I've ever said about a workout.

Favorite part of the program?

My favorite part of the program is anything I do with the gloves on. When I'm working on a boxing goal, I don't even notice the physical effort.

Is your age a factor?

There are definitely things I can't do now that I did when I was "young." I have to be especially careful with my knees. On the other hand, I would say I am actually physically stronger since I've started boxing than I've ever been.

Why did you join ABB?

I became interested in ABB because i thought it would be a great way to relieve stress, and I ended up loving to punch stuff. (I was right!) But, the reason that got me to come instead of just going to a gym is the fact that there are no guys working out with us and that the trainer is a woman.

How has the program changed you?

I feel better about myself because I feel like I have really taken control of my life. It is really great to be able to do something fun with a group of friends that you can really have a great time with.

Favorite part of the program?

My favorite parts of the training are when we are doing freestyle on the bags, the double-ended or speed bag and partner drills.

Is your age a factor?

I don't feel like my age affects my ability to do the program at all. Although, sometimes Julia calls me (endearingly) the "baby."
