IM TRYING TO GET SHAPED UP, BUT AS YOU KNOW, IM HERE WITH THE OWNER, JULIE AND NEWMAN, AND ITS ONLY FOR WOMEN THOUGH, RIGHT? ONLY FOR WOMEN. SORRY, I CANT I CANT GET THE BACK. I CANT DO IT. I DONT I DONT THINK YOU CAN KEEP UP. NO, YOU CAN KEEP UP. AND YOU MIGHT BE YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT NOW. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THIS BOXING FOR WOMEN STARTED IN 1991. OKAY. SHAPE UP SHOTS STARTED IN 1980. WE ADDED THIS. UM, ACTUALLY, WHEN I HAD BABY NUMBER TWO. BABY, I COULD, UH, LOSE THE WEIGHT. YOU WERE DOING ALL THIS WITH KIDS? YES, I WAS WOW. SO THATS HOW YOU STAY IN GREAT SHAPE LIKE YOU ARE. THATS HOW I TRY IT. AND NOW WHAT DO WE HAVE IN HERE? THIS IS CARDIO COMPLETE. WE START OFF WITH JUMPING ROPE FOR A WARM UP. TARGET MITTS IS IN OUR BOOT CAMP CLASS AND BOXING CLASS. AND THEN WE DO DIFFERENT STATIONS AS WELL. NOW WE I HAD A QUESTION FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU SAID YOU STARTED THE JUST FOR WOMEN BECAUSE WOMEN HAVE DIFFERENT ANATOMY PARTS THAT THEY WANT TO SHAPE UP. AND ONE OF THE MAIN CAUSE, LIKE I TOLD YOU, I SQUAT AND I BENCH AND I RUN, IM GOOD. BUT FOR WOMEN, YOU SAID THEY HAVE SPECIFIC THINGS THAT THEY WANT TO WORK ON. THEY DO. AND WITHOUT GETTING TOO RIGHT, RIGHT. REGULAR. UM, YES. DUE TO AN ANATOMY AND HAVING BABIES, THERES PROBLEM AREAS OR COMMON PROBLEM AREAS THAT WE GET REQUESTS FOR ON EVERY TIME A WOMAN WALKS IN. SO FOR ME, BEING THE CHOREOGRAPHER, ITS EASIER FOR ME TO TARGET THE WORKOUTS. YES. UM, AND WE CAN ALL COME INTO OUR SAFE SPACE AND WORK ON THOSE AREAS AND JOKE ABOUT THOSE AREAS AND SEE RESULTS AND AND YOU SAID YOUVE BEEN HERE. YOURE THE ONLY WOMENS GYM HERE IN MILWAUKEE. WE ARE REALLY, UM, IT ORIGINALLY I HAD A FEW CLUBS IN TULSA, AND THOSE WERE THE WOMEN, AND THIS WAS COED AND IT JUST WAS SUCH A HIT THAT THE TULSA PEOPLE STILL COME HERE. ACTUALLY, WHEN WE CONSOLIDATED TO THIS ORIGINAL BAYVIEW LOCATION AND THAT WAS THE DRAW. SO, SO, SO SO BASICALLY WOMEN CAN COME HERE, FEEL SAFE AND TALK ABOUT THE ANATOMY THAT THEY WANT TO WORK OUT WITHOUT FEELING LIKE EVERYBODYS WATCHING. CORRECT. AND YOU KNOW, IM NOT LUMPING EVERYBODY TOGETHER. A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO LIFT AND BUILD. AND WE HAVE PLENTY OF BARBELLS AND FREE WEIGHTS UP TO 200 POUNDS. AND WE HAVE A STRENGTH INSTRUCTOR, JENNY. SO WERE HERE TO MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY. NOW, WHATS YOUR HOURS OPERATION? WE HAVE 15 CLASSES A WEEK STARTING AT 5:40 A.M.
