"I have been going to Metrowest Academy for four years, over the course of two pregnancies with very positive results. The instructors are knowledgeable in the exercises and proper form required during pregnancy and postpartum. Striking the perfect balance between the appropriate impact level and achieving your fitness goals through every stage of your pregnancy can be challenging. Metrowest Academy helped me to achieve this balance, and ultimately to a healthier more energetic pregnancy and recovery." - Erin G.
"Love it -- I had a hard time sticking to a single routine before this class. Been going regularly for almost 3 years now. Since each class is different, I don't get bored and I can really feel and see the changes. Well worth it!" - Adriana Z.
"I never been to any cardio group classes because I was not enough motivated. But after trying this 1 week trial I can't get enough of their workout classes. The trainers are all very nice and help you around if you need help and the workouts are all different. I never thought in a million years I would see myself in a kickboxing classes with all different type of people. Everyone goes there for themselves and just care about their workout. Everyone comes in different shape, age and skill levels. I am very happy that I found this place because I needed a change in my life and start loving myself." - Dorlack N.
"I want to emphatically express my great satisfaction and wonderful experiences thus far since recently beginning the H.I.I.T. Kickboxing Metrowest. Allison, Ali, Michelle, Jayne and of course the big man Paul. They have not only displayed professionalism, dedication, and knowledge of/to this training program, but clearly demonstrate genuine concern for the clients they serve. As such, since starting classes, I have observed that they immediately elicit the ability of all to feel comfortable and at ease in this potentially new environment. Their charismatic manners and motivational styles in classes evoke a desire to perform to one's highest potential. With that said, they are also very cognizant of the various fitness levels of clients and encourage individual growth based on individual fitness goals and needs.
Additionally, I would also like to extend a special "thank you" to Allison, who was available to discuss with me a resolution of missed classes due to unforseen circumstances, ultimately displaying her willingness to make reasonable accommodations, and demonstrate flexibility in specific circumstances.
Once again, I want to applaud the staff and program, and reiterate my complete satisfaction...I highly recommend the program!" - Phil V.
"I’ve been taking Metrowest Academy’s kickboxing class for about 4 months now and just love it! We learn real fighting moves and self defense techniques while getting a great work out in at the same time! You’ll leave the class feeling very empowered and “tough”. I recommend this class to any woman or man – there is nothing more important than having the proper techniques for defending yourself or loved ones incase trouble arises." - Kelly D.
"HIIT Kickboxing is the best work out class I have ever taken! Like most, I've lost 25lbs, am stronger, and feel better than I ever have. The instructors are very encouraging and supportive throughout the entire process and have been a huge part of my success." - Jen L.
"I've been coming to HIIT Kickboxing for two years now! It's become such an important part of my weekly routine that when I miss a class my body doesn't quite feel right. I have benefited greatly from the exercises and have built strength, improved my balance and increased muscle mass. I love the classes and have found the instructors and students to be very supportive. This atmosphere is what keeps me coming back for more." - Venita D.
"I am 45 years old and had not been on any kind of regular fitness program for about ten years when I signed up for HIIT Kickboxing last year. I ate poorly and was completely out of shape. The HIIT Kickboxing program has proved to be a very effective program for where I am at in life and where I want to go.
Here are some of the things I like about this program:
- HIIT Kickboxing challenges an individual at any fitness level. I was completely out of shape when I first started.
- The instructors are very knowledgeable. The activities are so varied that you’ll never get bored with repetitive workouts. A year later I still see new exercises from the instructors that are designed to delight and challenge. This kind of varied routine keeps the program fresh. For me that is important as it holds my interest and keeps me coming back.
- I'm standing taller and my balance has improved.
- I used to have occasional back pains. Now my back feels better than ever. I don’t have pain any more.
- Punching & kicking a bag is an awesome way to get exercise and relieve stress – and it doesn’t punch back!
- Lots of core training.
- The overall atmosphere is non-threatening and supportive. This is important for folks getting back into a fitness program.
Join this program. Your body will thank you now and even more so fifty years from now." - Dave L.
"Training at the Metrowest Academy is intense and highly effective. But most of all, it’s FUN! From the moment you walk in to the end of class the experience is positive. Join for yourself, or join for your family. But join!" – Mark C.
"Personal Training at Metrowest Academy helped me get my life back on track. After having 2 kids I needed to lose weight badly! Through a customized nutrition and exercise program I was not able to just lose 25 lbs but maintain my weight. Thanks to a knowledgeable staff that provides realistic goals, I have more stamina, energy, and strength than I have ever had. The flexibility and understanding of the trainers allows me to seamlessly incorporate exercise into my daily routine and look forward to each session. Metrowest Academy has changed my life." – Sara L. (Working mother of two young kids.)
"HIIT Kickboxing is a great workout that gets results! As a young professional woman, I wanted a workout at the end of my day that was high energy. The classes give me that. The cardio and toning exercises have really helped me get lean. I would recommend this class to anyone who wants to gets fit and have fun." – (Allison F.)
"I LOVE HIIT Kickboxing!! I wish they had this class at my gym, but when I am in town I always come down for the workout. It’s tough but very rewarding. The instructors are so upbeat and helpful. The classes are energetic, and always different! I wish I could go more often." – Nora G.
"I would absolutely recommend The Metrowest Academy! In my opinion, the number one reason to join the academy is the instructor. Paul is a phenomenal teacher. More importantly, he is a genuinely good person who truly cares about the wellbeing of each and every student. No where else is this reflected more than in the atmosphere of the academy. Everyone that I’ve met in the academy is amazingly nice and has become like a second family to me. If you don’t believe me, just come down to watch a class. I couldn’t recommend it more!" – Tim F.
"My favorite class at the Metrowest Academy is the HIIT Kickboxing class. At 47 years of age, I am in the BEST physical condition of my life! I have been coming to class for over 2 years and there are no excuses. HIIT Kickboxing class is MY TIME to work hard, control stress and take care of my body and good health. I love the 6:00 A.M. class! I work out and am done before my brain can think up an excuse why not to work out." – Mark S.
"The Academy has been the single most positive thing I have ever done for myself. I have spent my entire life being anxious, fearful, lacking self-confidence and self-esteem. Classes has given me the greatest gift and something I never had before –peace of mind and freedom from insecurity and self-doubt. There is a calmness and tranquility that is a part of me now. Nothing I had done or tried prior gave me what the Academy has given me. The environment that Paul has created is not about aesthetics although the Academy is unlike most I have ever seen. Positive people and environments like this are unique and someone with his commitment to giving everyone everything he can is even more extraordinary." – Holly G.
"I feel more confident and have better coordination than I have ever had. My favorite thing about the Academy is the upbeat attitude!" – Paul H.
"Class is a blast! It’s always an interesting variety. I’m in the best shape of my life." – Cara T.
