Ladies Opinions?

I was hoping to get some thoughts and opinions from the ladies. I've been thinking about starting a kickboxing class for women. Well, more like a kickboxing/conditioning/cardio class...but not like the gay tae-bo shit that's out there now. I don't want it to be aerobics w/ punches and kicks. Right now I train w/ all guys....some are professional mixed martial arts fighters....I'd like to keep the class a little hardcore, but i realize the level will have to come down a bit...I need to find a balance between professional fighters and women who've never trained before, lol. I don't want to scare the crap out of them, but i don't want the class to fill w/ a bunch of ...how shall I say...pussy-assed, pink-dumbbell lifting girls! That just won't be fun for me! I'm looking for ideas on how to present or advertise the class to attract the right kind of women. They don't need experience, just the desire to train hard. Anyone? }'

W8lifter, that class sounds awesome.  I wish you were doing it in my city b/c I've been wanting to do something like that for so long but I can't find anything that's not, as you said, "gay tai-bo shit".  I really don't have any ideas on how to advertise that to get the clientel you're looking for without all the lady-spa people as well, but I'll think on it.  Good luck with that...I'm envious.       ???

wow! I wish I could get into a class like that!  My gym really only offers step right now and that has become old.  They even got rid of the "gay tai-bo shit"!!  Sound great!

Well, I'm glad to hear there is interest, lol...if only ya'll were in my city

that is a great idea..
unfortunatly you may just have to start at that lower level.. just to catch everyone up...
good luck.. i hope it doesn't fill with "pussy-assed, pink-dumbbell lifting girls" ... heehee... (if you only knew how many times i thought that while at the gym.. )
i think that is what keeps me from the classes...

That statement cracked me up...we have so many of them at my gym....LOL!!


Definitely sounds like a great class!!  Hope it turns out well.  I'm not sure on how to advertise to pull in the clientle you want though

LOL...I'm lucky....I work out at a private gym, not a commercial one, so I don't have very many pussy-assed, pink-dumbbell lifting girls to get in my way

Thanks for your replies girls!
