Hey everyone! There's been a lot going on around the club lately, and we wanted to make sure everyone is in the loop. We had a marathon, an upcoming tournament, a fitness champ and.. Read more
Hey, if you missed these seminars, you missed out, and I'm sorry for you. Johnny Ward and Carlos Rodriguez taught an amazing Muay Thai clinic Saturday, May 29th, which was followed by an excellent Brazilian Jiu Jitsu clinic with Michael Nunes.
That's right, KnuckleUp isn't just about fighting and fitness on the Outer Banks anymore. Our newest member is bringing a little motorcycle mayhem our way. Devon Pilkington is a professional Arenacross racer! How awesome is that?
Devon is a Virginia native who has just started coming to the gym recently. For those not in the loop, Arenacross is held in an arena (obviously), has a dirt track, and a lot of jumps. Try holding on to your bike when your flying through the air at 50 mph. It takes a lot of strength, and Devon picked KnuckleUp as his place to get conditioned, working with Matt in the kickboxing class.
Devon flying off a jump!
This is Devon's first full season as a professional racer. He's got a sweet new bike and is confident he can make something happen this season. Pilkington has quietly become a role player in the AMA Arenacross Lites Eastern Regional championship. Through four races, he has finished inside the top 10 each time, including three top fives highlighted by a podium finish of third. He is also a 5-time State Champion. So this native son certainly has the credentials.
Good luck with the rest of the season Devon! If anyone will get you in the shape you want, it's KnuckleUp!
This is a video of Matt Costa's Kickboxing class at 8 AM on Cinco De Mayo taken by Rev. Jay Bowman.
Do you see how many people there are? Matt had people running outside because there too many to run inside. And notice how EVERYONE is smiling. They know what's up!
Matt Costa knows how to make your workout fun!
Matt Costa heads the kickboxing classes at KnuckleUp and he's not afraid to make you work. The classes are intense, and you will definitely feel like you worked out after you're done.
And while every gym says their classes are fun, Matt makes sure his really are. You're never doing the same thing over and over again. Matt mixes it up almost every other minute, and you're never sure what you'll be doing next.
If you want to learn kickboxing, or even if you just want to get in shape, try out Matt's Kickboxing class. The class is offered at least twice everyday, usually three or for times, except Sundays, so there's a time for just about anyone. Check the schedule to see when you can try it.
And don't worry, not every class is packed like this one.
You would be hard pressed to find a better, or quicker, way to get in shape. Give Matt your time, and he'll change your life.
For another change for the summer, think about some home remodeling. You can get the home of your dreams with some help from the best Outer Banks Home Contractors, OBX Master Builders.
KnuckleUp's Fitness Boot Camp beach edition is now finished...
For the past 5 weeks, our group of boot camp warriors woke up at 5am every Tuesday and Thursday to come to the Gym and get in shape following Matt Costa's military-style workout.
If you ask any of these boot campers, they'll tell you that it was not easy; it took a lot of determination, strength, and will power.
But what they'll undoubtedly say is that it was worth EVERY drop of sweat. Warriors like Reverend Jay Bowman lost weight and gained muscle at a rate beyond any treadmill training ever could.
We're still compiling the data from their last weight in and will post it here as soon as possible.
For now, check out these pictures that Rev. Jay took during some of the sessions:
