We all want to be as healthy as we can, and we know how difficult it is to establish a routine to meet our fitness goals. What if there was a place that offered enough classes and options to accomplish those goals? Hits & Kicks-Total Body Fitness is such a place.
On May 1, Hits and Kicks will be expanding to include Total Body Fitness. It will be located at 11 High Street, Suite 105. Their mission statement is as follows: “Hits & Kicks-Total Body Fitness’ mission is to inspire and motivate members to achieve on-going results, improve their overall health and fitness levels in a healthy and welcoming environment. We are passionate, committed, and we will engage our members on all levels to assist them on their journey. We offer a variety of strength, cardio, boxing, and toning classes available at a variety of times throughout the day. We can provide something for everyone!”
The two women who will be helping members reach their goals are Stephanie Dolan and Donna Calabrese.
Stephanie has been involved in fitness since 1986 with the L.P. Wilson Community Center in Windsor, Conn. She worked as a group exercise instructor and personal trainer in both private and corporate settings, including Travelers, Cigna, United Health Care and Mass Mutual. She is certified with AFAA (Aerobic and Fitness Association of America). As a group exercise and personal trainer, her favorite classes are BeachBody, Les Mills and Vallari’s Kickboxing. Being a mother of three, she knows how difficult it is to find time for yourself (even a half hour). Her favorite fitness quote is “The best project you will ever work on, is yourself.”
Donna earned her blackbelt in 2002 and found her passion in teaching. She began assisting her Sensi teaching with classes at the Karate Studio. She went on to teach in both private and corporate settings including United Technologies Corporate Fitness Program.
