Wendy - AKX Kickboxing Instructor
15 years ago, Wendy decided to give an Amerikick kickboxing class a try. Sixty grueling minutes left her feeling drained and wanting to already give up. But the support and encouragement of the Amerikick staff helped Wendy see the potential that lie beyond those feelings. One class a week slowly evolved into two, then 3, then eventually 5 or 6. Kickboxing class began to supply Wendy with something she never knew she could have: confidence. Wendy received her AAAI fitness certification in an effort to help other people see the possibilities that could lie ahead for them with hard work and sheer determination. She hopes to do for others what her amazing Amerikick instructors did for her provide a positive environment that is encouraging and supportive of all fitness levels.
