    Fitness Boxing Instructor at KNOCKOUT Boxing Studio

    I’ve started working as a boxing instructor at Bangkok’s first boutique boxing studio. We opened just 3 months ago and are located at Seenspace in Thonglor 13. We’re also the first studio in Bangkok to use aqua boxing bags!

    The studio is called KNOCKOUT Boxing Studio and combines western style boxing with a HIIT type of floor work. We’ll have you work 4 rounds, starting on the bags, followed by a floor work section (all instructors have their own style of floor work) and then we repeat that order one more time. So all in all, 2 rounds on the bags, 2 rounds on the floor, alternating between both of them. The workout itself is around 45 minutes in total.

    All the boxing is to the beat so you can expect great music and some sick drops. Our lighting system is also off the chain, so much fun. Like a mini EDM festival!

    We started preparing already in March so safe to say, I’ve gotten several hours of Western Boxing under my belt now. It’s really fun and it was definitely challenging learning all the new types of movement, and although my technique is still far from perfect I can throw some mean punches I wasn’t able to prior.

    We are still not operating on full schedule, but we do have classes every day of the week with one morning class and two classes in the evening on weekdays, and lunch time classes on the weekends. I’m doing 3-4 classes a week, and so is Tom so try catch one of our classes one day.

    You can find the schedule on KnockoutBKK IG, we rotate the schedule so even if you have set times you can train, you get to try out different instructors.

    We also have a buy1get1 offer for all first timers!

    If you would like to make a booking, the best channels to do so is MINDBODY app, Classpass or on Line

    Fueled by Naked Fit Fuel

    Happy to tell you guys that me and Tom are now officially working with one of our favourite protein bar brands, Naked Fit Fuel. We are joining their team as their new brand ambassadors. So excited to see what this can bring for both parts and I’m positive we can make a great team.

    Being their brand ambassador of course means I can give my readers a discount so if you would like to make an order for some amazing natural protein bars and protein cookies in Thailand use my code NFFANITA or use this link and the code will automatically be added at check-out. There is of course also an option to order the protein bars world wide but just keep in mind that they might arrive slightly misshaped due to the heat… though this will not have any effect of the taste or nutrients in the bar.

    Perfect on-the-go snack!

    My favourite flavours:

    Protein Bars:

    1. Banana
    2. Goji-nuts-seeds
    3. Peanut butter brownie

    Protein Cookies:

    1. Banana
    2. Strawberry
    3. Black sesame
    4. Matcha

    If you’re looking for a yummy more healthy snack to replace your sweets, but not too worried about it being super high protein, the cookies are the right choice for you. It’s that yummy that it has replaced my cookie and late night ice cream consumption and I can’t complain getting an extra 12 grams of protein in.

    Though if you have troubles hitting your your daily protein requirements and don’t want to have shakes or tons of chicken every day, it can be great with something a bit higher in protein, which is where the bars are great with 20g+ of protein.

    Which one are you going to try?

    Happy Loy Krathong!

    Hope everyone’s had an amazing Loy Krathong! This year we celebrated at Chocolate Ville in Bangkok. Fantastic location, I can’t believe I haven’t been before. It’s just like being at Epcot or some amusement park that is not located in Asia. It’s incredibly well maintained. Great ambience and amazing food and drink selection. We had a mixture of Thai and Western food and it was superb. Prices are also very reasonable. Definitely coming back!

     

    หวังว่าทุกคนสนุกไปกับเทศกาลลอยกระทงนะคะ! ในปีนี้เราได้เฉลิมฉลองกันที่ Chocolate Ville ในกรุงเทพ สถานที่ที่แสนจะยอดเยี่ยม ฉันไม่เชื่อเลยว่าฉันอย่างไม่เคยเป็นมาก่อน มันเหมือนกับการอยู่ที่สวนสนุก Epcot หรือสวนสนุกสักแห่งที่ตั้งอยู่ในเอเชีย มันได้รับการบำรุงรักษาได้อย่างดีอย่างไม่น่าเชื่อ บรรยากาศที่ยอดเยี่ยม และอาหารอันยอดเยี่ยม รวมทั้งตัวเลือกของเครื่องดื่ม เราได้รับประทานทั้งอาหารไทย และอาหารตะวันตกรวมกัน และอาหารมีรสชาดอร่อยมาก ราคายังเหมาะสมอีกด้วย เราจะกลับมาอีกอย่างแน่นอน!

    Always a Halloween party in Bangkok!

    Even if you’re last-minute, you’ll find a Halloween party in Bangkok at every corner. Bars and restaurants go all out, which is quite amazing. Open the event page on Facebook and you can see pretty much any of the top ones in Bangkok, as most venues advertise weeks in advance. Since I ‘forgot’ to take a picture of this years costume, I’ve added some of the past years costumes.

    Wonder Woman, Dia de los Muertos inspired chick and Tomb Raider. This year… I was the pink bear from Epic Games – Fortnite (Cuddle Team Leader skin for those of you that plays). I’m a bit bummed I didn’t get the mast as well, as I now see that it was an option to order it. I will include the link for you below if you are interested to get one.

    We were super last-minute that year and ended up going to Petchaburi 18 to the costume rental shop. Awesome selections!

    2018 (Casa Azul, Atomic)

    That’s the costume. Pic coming soon! Link here.

    Of all the places I’ve lived or visited during Halloween, Bangkok definitely is on the top when it comes to selection of party venue. It doesn’t matter what day of the week it is, people are going all out in one way or another costumes or not! This year was no exception. We started out with beers and tacos at Casa Azul, a Mexican restaurant located in Soi Ari before going to Atomic in Thonglor. Atomic was super fun with loads of games like beer pong and some other games which I had too many beers to remember what was called. Do check it out if you’re into games.

    The Bar Upstairs- new favourite bar in Bangkok

    the bar upstairs bangkok

    We had the beef tartar, some cheeses from their cheese selection and fresh oysters. All yum!


    I’ve been to The Bar Upstairs a couple of times in the past few months but never had the change to eat there until yesterday.  I was quite impressed by the quality of their food.. Their Brie de Meaux is the best one I’ve had in Bangkok so far. I loved the Fine de Claire oysters, so fresh and tasty and if you book through Chope you can get a buy1 get1 deal for the oysters. I always go to El Mercado for their fresh food selection, but I have to say, they have now got competition. They only down side is that the bar is located in Sukhumvit soi 11, which is not my go-to place when going out. Though with all these new great places popping up, it might be.  If you are going out or just wanting to get a couple of drinks in this place might be something for you, they also have an great wine selection along with a good selection of their own spins of mainstream cocktails.

    Ok…I’m hungry now…

    Fun times with Kygo!

    Went to see Kygo this week and I was blown away with his performance. Perfect choice of tunes and some amazing vocal and instrumental segments.

    Fantastic Crew!

    So glad to finally get to see him live. I feel lame for being a Norwegian and this being my first time, but how awesome to get to see Kygo Live in Bangkok! Good organising from Teddy Time. Excited to see who they bring next!

    Now I am ready for the next one! Wonderfruit!🍉🍌🍒
