Cardio Kickboxing

Roxanne Wightman started R Total Fitness in the Ultimate Goal Family Sports Center in Marcellus.

Wightman teaches seven different classes throughout the week from TRX suspension training to Zumba. She also teaches Cardio Kickboxing.

“It’s just for a total body workout. To do a really high cardio but incorporate the muscle and then some plyometrics for power," said Wightman.

“It’s a great workout and it gets your aggression out if you’re frustrated. Everyone knows if I’ve had a bad day because the bag moves across the room.” said Denise Longtin, a participant in the Cardio Kickboxing class.

Wightman hung a large banner in the room that says "yes you can," and teaches her students to work by that motto.

“She does a great job. She’s really fun and you can tell she’s in it to help people out. And she makes it fun," said Longtin.

Wightman isn't your typical fitness instructor; she's a sales representative for a dairy company, and a grandmother.

“As a matter of fact I’m 55 right now and I’m just getting started," said Wightman.

A month of unlimited classes is 59 dollars and seven dollars for one class.
