Have you heard of Piloxing? I had never heard of it until Rebecca at Bexa Body Fitness opened up her Fitness studio in Westerville. Piloxing is defined as a "mix of boxing, pilates, and dancing." Rebecca said that we should come and try a class but the class times were not fitting in with my schedule. After discussing the dilemma with Rebecca, she then arranged a Piloxing class for us to take with Jill. (Jill is also a trainer at Bexa Body Fitness) So Valerie, Amber and myself went to try the piloxing class one Thursday morning.
The first thing we had to do was take off our shoes and socks! (I never did a workout in bare feet other than pilates or yoga!) Then, we proceeded to the studio area with a mirror. Jill then gave each of us a pair of Piloxing gloves (see above picture!) These gloves have 2 lbs. hand weights on them and are quite comfortable. Valerie was more impressed with Rebecca's personal pair of Piloxing gloves (Jill was using them for our class) as they were "bedazzled" with jewels on them!
Jill did a good job instructing us as we had to "shake our thing" during the dance portion, felt the weights as we were boxing and held poses on the floor while doing pilates! Suggestions for improvement would be the music. Jill said the music was timed to the routine and said that better music is offered as the classes progess. Also, the floor should have a little more "cushion." Val felt that her feet were sore as a result. Finally, I am not a fan of taking a class in my bare feet but Jill said you can also take the class with your shoes on too. (My arms did feel a little sore the next day too!)
So if you are looking to drop into a class, get a personal trainer or looking to try a private gym, stop into Bexa Body Fitness!
