[pixiedust]

[dYusILicious]

mga sis meron bang nag box dito sa punch out makati?
do you give a tip sa trainer nyo after ng session?
dilemma ko to haha hindi ko alam kase kung panu magbigay ng tip or dapat ba magbigay, madalas kase may tinuturuan na sila after ko so kung magbibigay ako panu kaya.. di ko rin alam kung nagbibigay yung iba o hindi.

Eep! I just came from Mojo this morning with a friend. Walk-in rate and first time to try a boxing gym. I trained with Jeff. Okay naman siya. Ang galing nga kasi nacorrect niya yung form ng boxing ko. Hindi daw kasi tama yung turo sakin ng trainer ko sa Fitness First. Swerte ko I wasn't offered a massage! Haha I guess pag pupunta ako dun iwasan ko yung massage :p

yes very accomodating sila sakin at first pero nun pang 3rd or 4th day nangyari na sakin yun =(
extra ingat nlang talaga siguro. . pero talaga naman ganda ng turo nila tska todo pawis ako dun kc minsan umaabot 6 rounds [textspeak!] gngwa namin. . sad nga lan nun naexperience ko. .

[Filipinasadhart]

magkano ang rate sa mojo mga sis?

[daphknee]

magkano ang rate sa mojo mga sis?

250 binayad ko for boxing (walk-in), usually 8 rounds

[pixiedust]

^parang elorde lang pala. may trainer na yun sis? yung 8 rounds ano yun, sparring lang or may mitts, etc?

[anachanel]

How much tip do you give? and how many times a week do you box?

[rufapeachypie]

kami ng brother ko planning to go boxing by feb sa elorde shaw..malapit lang kasi sa work namin kaya sabi ko sa kanya mag-inquire na sya ngayon 

[anachanel]

for those wanting to box regularly, buy your own wraps and gloves. the stench coming from rented wraps and gloves is unbearable! I have my own but forgot one day so just borrowed from my trainer.
but don't buy the expensive ones costing thousands unless you are really in it for the long haul. there are gloves and wraps that can be had for under a thousand. i bought mine a year ago and still use it.

hi sis, i might start pa lang sa punchout next week. bibili pa lang kasi ako gloves sa weekend. kaya i dont know about giving tips yet.

by the way, ok ba yung Twins na brand? I plan to get 10oz na gloves. TIA!

[babykara]

saan merong bocing gyms dito sa makati again? naghahanap kami ng officemate ko. we work in ayala avenue, where's the nearest?

better yet, meron bang boxing gyms sa alabang area? wala na daw kasing elorde sa starmall alabang.

[OD]

im gonna try this soon, i wanna graduate from shadowboxing hehe.. but wait, standard practice ba yun mag-tip sa trainer or instructor? and how much usually is it?

[anachanel]

Sa elorde katipunan i never give tips; the first session right after the cooldown and stretching, "nagpaparamdam" yung trainer ko by greeting me, making small talk etc pero nung hindi ko binigyan, ok lang naman the second third and fourth sessions were consistently hard and worth it parin (same trainer). They get a cut naman per client and tips are extra for them so regardless if you give or not, they get paid parin. I just don't want to give tips kasi baka masanay sila. I will give him a gift though after my last session.

[OD]

^ i see, thanks for your input. I'll see how my session will play out and will observe if it's a practice in the gym that i'll try.

[rastagurl11]

Nung umpisa, I don't, pero nung regular nako, I started giving tips na. Iba pa sa trainer, iba pa sa nagmamasahe. tips naman are gratuity, it's not required and you should not be treated any less if you don't give.

anachanel: I train in Katip too. Sana makita kita or baka nagkikita na tayo, hindi lang natin alam 

[chin66ay]

hi mga sis. I've been backreading. Ask ko lang sa mga sis na nagbobox -- how much weight did you lose na? Just curious.

Will start boxing na talaga this Friday at Elorde Don Antonio.

[rastagurl11]

^ 20lbs. 

[pixiedust]

same tayo rasta. i lost 20lbs when i was boxing regularly.

[babykara]

WOW! sis rasta and pixie 20lbs?!?!? shucks! dapat magsimula na rin talaga ko!!! did you diet while doing boxing? saka, if you don't mind, ano yung initial weight nyo? this is so inspiring! i wanted to lose my flabby arms kasi, will boxing do the trick kaya? 

[pixiedust]

^no. i don't like dieting kasi talaga. i love to eat! haha. boxing will really tone your body. biggest problem area ko ang arms talaga and nung nagbbox ako nagkakapag sleeveless ako. the thing is lang, i stopped boxing. nung nagstop ako, mas malaki pa yung nagain ko kesa sa nalose. tapos ang hirap bumalik. ngayon mga once a month or so nalang ako nakakapag box. i just do exercises at home. so mas mabagal ang pag balik sa boxing weight.
