Jacksonville, FL, Aug. 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FightFit Fitness, a unique fitness program based on a multidisciplinary approach to exercise that incorporates aspects of boxing, kickboxing, functional movement and high intensity interval training (HIIT), is now available for licensing globally. The program was developed by Jason Watson, a 6th degree black belt in Taekwondo, though FightFit, itself, is a non-contact workout.
In 2005, Watson, who manages a thriving martial arts practice in Jacksonville, was looking to fill his non-teaching hours. He was mostly training kids in after-school martial arts programs which left his mornings and evenings open. He took note that a lot of his student’s parents were taking boot camp, aerobic and kickboxing classes. He knew there was a better way to fitness so he developed unique workouts that included aspects of the martial arts, namely, punching and kicking. Watson also began researching new exercise techniques based on high intensity interval training (HIIT) which has participants exercising in intense but short bursts of activity. He concluded that the research was sound and began incorporating HIIT into his fitness classes.
As Watson has refined and perfected FightFit Fitness over the past 13 years, it has come to include over 100 workouts where members experience a mix of circuit training, Tabata, AMRAPs (As Many Rounds As Possible) and For Time workouts. The workouts are led by certified instructors who are tested on their knowledge and ability to properly and safely assess members’ physical fitness levels and teach each element of the FightFit Fitness workout.
“I have been fortunate to work with some great trainers and awesome members over the years who have provided invaluable feedback and allowed me to refine our workouts and how I teach them to get them to the point they are today,” said Watson.
“We have enjoyed tremendous local success with FightFit,” said FightFit Global, LLC CEO Paul Volen. “As we continued to receive inquiries from martial arts and gym owners, we realized that we had an opportunity to share what we created on a larger scale so we evolved FighFit Fitness into a comprehensive system that others could learn, teach and operate in their local gym. We are humbled and proud to now offer our training to a worldwide audience.”
