Title Boxing Club:sharing the message!

Title Boxing Club 9:30am        The Hincka Heavy Hitters!

Our family has enjoyed being a part of the Title Boxing Club family since April of this year. What a difference it has made in our lives. I signed up Jake so that he could get in shape and punch out a little aggression, and it was only a few extra bucks for the whole family to become members. So I thought, why not? It might be fun! Well guess who loves boxing? Charlotte! She loves the rhythmic pounding, punch combinations, and predictability of the hour long class. Danny works so hard for the entire hour that I sometimes think his head will pop off. But good for him! And of course Jerry hates it because it is HARD, but off he goes, with the girls in tow, helping them and encouraging them. The trainers are all fantastic, but the girls special favourite is Phil, and adorable 20-somethings young man with a warm and friendly attitude. He immediately sensed the ID in the girls and focused on helping them learn the ropes and constantly positively pushing them on. He and Charlotte have a great time, which is fun for her. Phil invited us to visit the club in Farmington Hills this morning to participate in a power hour class with Allan Longstreet, the fitness trainer from Fox2. The focus was on boxing as an exercise that all people can do. What a ball! They interviewed all of us, and the camera man was roaming around throughout the class(thankfully not too near me!) What a great chance to continue to spread the message from SO about sport as a universal language, another  way for people with ID to integrate into their community. I love that the kids have so many different ways to stay healthy-and drag their old mother along too!
