Throughout my undergrad career at Ole Miss, I never truly found a gym or workout routine that I absolutely loved in Oxford. When I joined OFK in 2015, I immediately loved the classes and workout that I got from this gym, and I became excited about going each time. For the past 2 years, I’ve grown to love the workouts provided by OFK, and I’ve become stronger and more fit than I have since coming to Oxford 7 years ago.

The instructors and numerous class times have helped me stay focused, motivated, and in routine. I look forward to continuing to meet personal goals with the help of Oxford Kickboxing.
