Hey everyone, just thought I’d leave a message to wish everyone luck for Sunday if you’re fighting!!
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m so keen to get it started! I have lived my fight about 100 times already at night and I’ve been told off for twitching a bit too violently in my sleep by the missus!! lol
I feel fitter than I ever have done and I really hope we all do Mr Murray and the team proud on Sunday by giving it our all!
The boot camp has been amazing and the fact that we are training for a reason, as opposed to just for fitness purposes, has been a big factor for me personally. I’ve been impressed at the dedication of everyone and glad to be part of the event with all of the other fighters!
If anyone is thinking of doing this for the next event, I highly recommend it. The boot camp, the extra lessons on technique, the build up to the event, the constant watching of the scales and the harder than normal training sessions make the weeks before the fight some of the best you’ll ever have!!
And hopefully this will all be capped off with a Win!
See you all on Sunday and if you haven’t got your tickets… Get Them!!!!!!!

Well this mornings Surprize bootcamp AT 5.45am was as usual quite fast paced with 3 laps of the gym then inside for rounds on the pads….non stop punching exercises and boy does it make your arms and shoulders burn..
so that along with last nights surprize class really has shown everyones great fitness and will to go for it..
Amatuer fighters training professional fighter style,
trained by the best..to be the best..nothing can beat it..
now on to my melon for breakfast as i sit here 2 hours early for work waiting on some customers…
wish i got paid overtime, id be worth a fortune by now with all these early starts…
