BOUNCE! Fitness

Bottom line at the top: these classes are SO fun because of the great shoes.

i’ve been to a bounce class twice and both times were crazy fun. heather and marc lead you through a warm-​up, some running uphill near the beach area off of ocean avanue (if you’re in the SM class), and then before you know it you’re stretching and seriously contemplating purchasing these amazing shoes.
try it out! you won’t regret it.

My husband and I are staying in Venice Beach for 3 weeks, and since I haven’t been able to do my normal workout routines, I decided it’d be fun to try some new things while we’re here. I saw some people on the boardwalk with the Kangoo Jump shoes and thought it looked like a ton of fun, so I signed up for a class, which I just got back from.
The business is still new, and I was the only one there on a Friday morning, so I actually got a private workout. Marc was my instructor and was great! Very encouraging and a really nice guy. The boots are really easy to learn and really comfortable, and the workout you get in the class is really effective and fun too! A lot of the moves reminded me of step aerobics style class (e.g., grapevines, v-​steps, mambos, etc.), but way more fun because you’re bouncing the whole time. There were also some power moves like jumping up and down from a ledge, plus some ab work at the end (the weighted shoes actually make reverse crunches very effective!). The class made me sweat for sure! I highly recommend adding in these classes into your workout régime to mix things up a bit. Working out on the beach is never a bad thing either.
Marc says they have a Living Social deal coming out next week, so be sure to try them out.

I took class here this morning with some friends. We took advantage of the Unilocal offer for a free class and loved it so much 2 of us bought the boots. You can’t beat working out by the beach, it’s incredibly beautiful and the class was flexible for beginners and advanced fitness levels. Our instructor had great energy and showed us 3 different intensity levels for each set as well as the basic resting move if you needed a break. We were all a little nervous before the class but they were so reassuring, made us feel welcome and really comfortable. Excellent workout — because you don’t notice you are working out. FUN!
