10 reasons not to join a gym
  (and to take up martial arts instead)

1. It's cheaper. A monthly subscription to P.U.M.A. is still cheaper than joining a gym and there is no such thing as peak time, so you can train as much as you like.
2. Variety is the spice of life. In our classes we cover a huge variety of exercises and fitness. No two lessons are the same, one day it's padwork, the next, resistance training and cardio, the next it might be partner work...the choices are endless.
3. Motivation. You don't need to extra money for a personal trainer, you have your instructor, assistants, helpers and all the other student to help motivate you and keep you on track.
4. Weight Loss. As with any activity you will lose as much weight as the effort you put in, but the motivation and focus in class will help shed those pounds without you even knowing it.
5. Get fit. Because of the HUGE variety of exercise, our classes will keep you fit and toned, as well as improve your breathing, flexibility and cardiac health.
6. Access to experts. As well as your instructor and all those at your school, you also have access to some of the best practitioners of the Taekwon-do and kickboxing in the country, including a number of Taekwon-do Masters who are always willing to help you reach your goals.
7. Access to other training. In addition to our Taekwon-do and kickboxing classes, once you are a student of our school you can also decide to train at the highest level at the local and national squad sparring sessions, learn FAST defence and much much more.
8. Extra Events. Summer Camp, Winter Camp, Kids Camps, Tournaments, Seminars, P.U.M.A. day - need I say more?
9. Satisfaction. The personal satisfaction you get from taking part and passing a grading, be it the first one, or your Black Belt, the overwhelming sense of satisfaction is the same.
and finally...
10. We are all trying to make the world a better place by being better people. Our school and organisation go a long way in trying to help others, with a lot of fundraising and going the extra mile - you won't find that in a gym.
