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
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:
Banana
Goji-nuts-seeds
Peanut butter brownie
Protein Cookies:
Banana
Strawberry
Black sesame
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.
I’ve never really been a tea person, but after reading up on the health benefits of tea, and especially green tea, I try to drink it as often as I can. I used to be a lot better at it drinking it every morning, but somehow the habit got lost along the way. So from today; I will change things around, green tea first thing when I wake up.
There are so many nice options for green tea in Thailand, but the one we are using now we picked up from our travels through Nepal. It’s crazy how cheap the green tea is there. In Thailand I always end up paying 3-500 from markets or 300 baht from a little package of japanese green tea from Villa Market. Does anyone know where I can get some reasonable priced green tea here, please let me know.
For Tom’s birthday last year I surprised him with a long weekend trip to Chiang Rai and we stumbled upon this beautiful “little” tea center called tea center 101 on the way up to Mae Salong. They have all types of tea and show you how to drink it, list the benefits, and also sells all kinds of cups, pots and whatever you can imagine it being possible to drink tea from. They also had some delicious honey we brought home. On the way out I saw they had some cherry wine that I really wanted to buy, until they let me taste it, it was so strong I didn’t know what to do, haha. They had many different makes of these too so i definitely recommend you to try it if you ever go there.
While writing this post I went through my photo album from our trip to Chiang Rai, wanting to post some of the photos in this blog post but I’m going to keep it strictly to the tea, so I will be sharing it in it’s own post, as there are so many photos I want to show you.
Since Tom is an English man, well at least part English, he’s always been a fan of tea, whereas me just drinking it, just because it’s cold or I’m out in the mountains. Somehow warm drinks tastes delicious in high altitude. Anyways, my point was, I didn’t start drinking it until I did a little research on my own about it and found the health benefits to green tea, or even tea in general.
After reading it I thought it was dumb not to at least give it a try, and after a while I started to love drinking it.
Not only does green tea give me a lot of energy, but I believe it helps with increasing my fat burning too.
Got these cute little sets, for only 100 baht each… they make drinking tea quite a hazzle, but at least it looks fancy! The tea “pot” on the other hand makes it so easy, if you are drinking tea without tea bags, you just put the tea in the top part, push a little button on the top and if filters the tea for you.
The list goes on and on but here are the top five reasons that convinced me.
Weight Loss. Green tea increases the metabolism. The polyphenol found in green tea works to intensify levels of fat oxidation and the rate at which your body turns food into calories.
Diabetes. Green tea apparently helps regulate glucose levels slowing the rise of blood sugar after eating. This can prevent high insulin spikes and resulting fat storage.
Cholesterol. Green tea reduces bad cholesterol in the blood and improves the ratio of good cholesterol to bad cholesterol.
Blood Pressure. Regular consumption of green tea is thought to reduce the risk of high blood pressure.
Anti-viral and Anti-bacterial. Tea catechins are strong antibacterial and antiviral agents which make them effective for treating everything from influenza to cancer. In some studies green tea has been shown to inhibit the spread of many diseases.
