Ringing in the New Year means setting new fitness goals for many people.<\/p>\n
Fitness is a priority every day at John’s Boxing Gym in Castle Hill. Coach Christopher Bailey pushes his trainees to their maximum potential.<\/p>\n
“I work ’em to the bone,” Bailey said. “They let me know, ‘we’re not feeling you today, coach,’ and I don’t care. We got to do better because it’s not for me. It’s for you, there’s a reward in the work that you put in.”<\/p>\n
But the new year brings a renewed mentality for many, including state boxing champion Januel Cabrera.<\/p>\n
“Tonight, I’m going to just relax, enjoy myself,” Cabrera said. “And then my mindset is, I got to be back here tomorrow in the morning. We just got to get right back to it.”<\/p>\n
The gym is not just for boxing champions — it’s also for people who are simply looking to get in shape.<\/p>\n
“Try to lose a little bit [of] weight,” gymgoer and Castle Hill resident Angel Leon said about his new year’s goals. “Sometimes I feel tired. When I come to the gym and train, I feel completely different.”<\/p>\n
Bailey also shared his advice for people with fitness goals in the new year.<\/p>\n
“Just get up and do it,” Bailey said. “One step at a time. If the thought is there. Just get up and move.”<\/p>\n
John’s Boxing Gym also has its goals for the new year. There are plans for more workout classes for women, for both self-defense and conditioning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ringing in the New Year means setting new fitness goals for many people.
