										Molly Hello there! I would like to personally invite you to get in shape, stay in shape, and have some fun! Let the kickboxing provide the strength, flexibility, and endurance of a well-balanced workout, and I will supply the challenge and the cheer! I am known for my contagious energy and technical focus in all of my classes. With a background in competitive gymnastics, soccer, dance, cheer and crew (rowing), I've tried it all--kickboxing is a workout with no rival! It stole my heart in 2009 and shows no signs of letting go. CAUTION: You're gonna love this!!!"
										Kate My love for kickboxing started at a Mixed Martial Arts gym in Vail, Colorado. After moving to the Seattle area, I searched for a place that would provide me with an awesome, non-competitive, full-body workout and keep me wanting to return day after day. EKP was the perfect place! I love the great mix of Pilates, strength training and kickboxing that every class offers. The music and energy in our gym can't be beat. Come to my class and I'll challenge you with a great workout, encourage you to push yourself, and get you hooked to return for more!
										Tara I have been an instructor at EKP since January 2005. What I love about EKP is that it is a small local gym that is interested in giving results. The diversity in instructor teaching styles always keeps you on your toes. Kickboxing and Pilates challenge you to build power in your core, where both your personal and physical strength come from. Many sports focus on the dominant side of your body becoming stronger. Balancing your body by being strong and coordinated on both sides is another advantage to this workout. And there is nothing like hitting a bag, kiss that stress goodbye! Being an avid skier, climber, and hiker this class has taken my performance to a new level. Come in and challenge yourself, you will love the results!
										Anna From the moment I walked in the door at EKP, I knew I'd found what I'd been searching for; a small personal gym with a big-time workout! I had tried many different forms of exercise but always seemed to lose interest; not the case at EKP. The terrific mix of Pilates, kickboxing and strength training gives you a complete workout every time and each instructor offers something unique. I design my classes to build strength, technique and endurance. Whether you are just starting out or have been coming to class for years, my goal is to motivate you to challenge yourself, stay healthy and have fun in the process! ACE-certified since 2009.
										Kacey I started instructing KB in Oct 2005. I am certified in Fitness and as a Nutritionist. There are a few things I find that help me get through the day. One is a great workout! I joined EKP in search of challenge and motivation. I certainly found what I was looking for!!! I enjoyed it so much I became an instructor! I found my passion... and that is motivating people to feel better from the inside out. I enjoy training people of all fitness levels, encouraging them to reach their goals. So visualize your goals, and I will keep you on track with encouragement and motivation through every 'JAB, HOOK and KICK' on the way to your goal.
										Steph My name is Stephanie and I have been kickboxing with EKP for six years. On top of the class being physically challenging, being an instructor allows me to help our members reach there goals both cardiovascular and physically. There is nothing better then using the class as a way to release tension from your day and personal life. I love to push my class with new ideas and keep them energized with good and current music.
										Racquel Hi my name is Racquel, and I have been an instructor since 2006. Kickboxing has been the most motivating and rewarding workout I have experienced. I love finding new ways to challenge my classes, as well as myself. I always leave my classes feeling great and having more energy than I started with. Come take my class, challenge yourself, and I promise you'll thank me in the morning! Oh, and GO COUGS!
										Sally After years of searching for a workout that had it all - Total body fitness, Motivating, fun, and addictive - I found it at EKP. Not only did I find what I was looking for in terms of a physical workout, I found more - a routine that increased my self confidence. Now as an instructor, my goal is to bring the same intensity and enthusiasm as I do to my own workouts. My definition of a great class is one where everyone feeds off the energy of the instructor and the other class participants, enjoys the music and the combinations, and when it's over walk away sweating, spent, smiling and already looking forward to the next class. You don't have to search anymore! - come in to EKP, try a class and discover the perfect workout.
										Sean My Philosophy is " live life like there is no tomorrow"! I show this in my classes with heart pumping enthusiasm. Classes are full of high energy cardio mixed with challenging calisthenics, and plyometric exercises. Helping each member reach their own goals is my personal challenge to myself that I strive for with the utmost tenacity. Look forward to "kickin it" with you!
										Lucy While strolling around Issaquah looking for a new and unique type of workout, I ran into the EKP studio. I walked in and decided to give it a shot. From the first class I fell in love with hanging bags and a pair gloves, and I've been here ever since! EKP offers a full body workout that will boost your energy, dissolve stress, and pump up your confidence. If you are looking for a challenge that will add to the quality of your life, come on in and try it out, and I promise you won't regret it!
										Tammy I've lived a life of clean eating and fitness for a very long time! A strong mind and body is a must in my opinion. There is NO BETTER WORKOUT than kickboxing at EKP! Here, you will build muscle and "lungs of steel!" My class is a PARTY that will have you beggin' for mercy and screamin' for more!
										Maria I am a mother to three small children and I love the energy and strength this incredible workout gives me! I've been teaching group fitness classes at EKP since May 2005 and aim to keep my classes fun and challenging for all fitness levels. Our cardio kickboxing classes will help tone and sculpt your body head-to-toe while you have a great time doing it! Come to my class and I will help you achieve your fitness goals as well as discover your inner athlete!
										Luse Hi, my name is Luse. I started going to Eastside Kickboxing in July 2007 and instructing in January 2008. The little amount of time I've been here I have acquired determination to reach my goal, motivation to keep going, and inspiration to inspire others to reach their goal. While this was the most difficult workout I have done, I had the greatest fun doing it. Just when you feel like giving in, we'll keep you going. The combined class of kickboxing and pilates is the best workout you'll ever experience and will tone you from head to toe. So come and try our classes , you won't regret it.
										Gina After spending 7 years in my 20s working in the fitness industry as an ACSM & ACE certified personal trainer and aerobics instructor, I finally found the perfect workout at EKP, there is truly nothing like it. In fact, I drive all the way from Seattle to workout and teach here because I haven't found a better workout anywhere else. My favorite part of each class is when I get everyone punching in sync to the beat of a great song, you can just feel the energy in the room explode as everyone pushes themselves to punch that bag as hard as they can to the beat! Come to my class and I promise you'll have a blast punching and kicking to great music - and you'll burn a ton of calories doing it!
										Sandy My love of kickboxing began in Chicago, IL in 2001 and I joined EKP in 2004. My incentive to start the sport was to get a total body workout in one class. Kickboxing challenges your body to work as a whole for head-to-toe fitness. My strong passion for kickboxing lead me to become an instructor. I love seeing clients transform as they improve coordination, strength, and endurance. My goal is to be supportive and energetic. I believe hard work coupled with encouragement will bring out the best in people. In my classes, I want you to get a great workout, have a good time, and leave feeling successful.
										Heather Hello! My name is Heather. I was a member of EKP for three years before becoming an instructor in early 2011. Throughout life, exercise was not something I really liked to do; then I came to EKP and my life changed. I became "hooked" on working out. The complete and total body workout - with the perfect balance of cardio is like no other! My goal is to motivate you and help you to challenge yourself. I bring energy, personality, and enthusiasm to each class. Come in and give it a try, you'll be happy that you did.
										Lyla I love the idea of getting you addicted to your workout, expanding what you thought you could do and have a blast while doing it. I get amped up watching members rock-out on the bags! I have a loud, encouraging, tenacious drive to get you fit and help reach your goals.
										Katie STRENGTH. TRAINING. You don't come to my class to kickbox, you come to challenge yourself and push the limits of what you thought possible. 75 minutes of muscle-building, whole-body toning and working up a good old- fashioned sweat is my goal for you. As an NASM-certified personal trainer, I will help you focus on form while working all muscle groups, adding strength and muscle endurance to your workout. Give us a try…..I look forward to seeing you in my class.
