I take Nelson's kickboxing classes and I have to say it is the most fun I've ever had working out. I was intimidated to start but Nelson eased my fears at the first class - he makes it so much fun for all levels. As a bonus, it is so empowering to get stronger and learn self-defense at the same time. I highly recommend taking classes with him.
