You and the JAM crew have brought such an incredible vibe since joining — what made you all decide to come across, and what’s kept you coming back?

Thanks so much for saying this! Yea, honestly - it was really lucky that Undercard was there to catch us once JAM closed. With JAM closing, I know many of us felt a big loss in routine, community, and discipline, so following Alicia over to Undercard felt really natural. The community here was tight, and the workout was, for me, harder than most things I’d done. It was really humbling being bad at pretty much every single activity in the boxing room haha - but that was exactly what I needed to grow…. So from there, I was hooked. 

JAM built strong foundations in us, or perhaps, brought it out in us, and Undercard has fostered and grown that exponentially. 

So thanks for having us - we'll keep bringing the vibes ✌️

It’s been so good seeing how seamlessly you all slotted into the Undercard community — what’s made it feel like a good fit for you personally?

Personally there were so many things that made it feel right for me. Probably the most important one in the beginning was that we were treated like part of the family right off the bat, and that made a huge difference in my mind. Plus lots of familiar friendly faces, a group of coaches and trainers that cared and wanted to see me improve (and made time to make sure that happened), a space that welcomed folks from all different backgrounds - age, gender identity, level of athleticism… And a dynamic workout that truly challenged me. It’s something that really never gets old because I’ve learned here that it really is what you make it. 

What were you doing for training before Undercard, and how has your routine shifted since?

Before UC, I was a spin rat, through and through. On the bike often twice per day…. Since being part of UC, my routine has become a bit more balanced (or at least I tell myself that). Focusing more on not just cardio, but getting stronger, which was something I’ve wanted for a long time but never knew how to get there until now. 

What’s something you’ve noticed in yourself since joining — physically, mentally, or even socially?

More than anything, I’ve noticed my confidence grow. When I look around the room, I know that everyone there genuinely wants me to succeed—and that feeling is completely mutual. There’s no judgement, just support (and a push here and there). While we’re each working through our own process during class, there’s a shared understanding that we’re all there for the similar goal of showing up and doing our best..

(Oh, and the good friends I’ve made since joining has been a pretty lucky perk as well)

Was there anything that surprised you about Undercard or the classes once you started?

I never thought I had the discipline, nor the maturity to stick with this level of push. 

The maturity? Still out for debate haha, but the discipline is there. 

Favourite moment so far? It could be a class, a PB, a sweaty Saturday with the crew — anything that stands out.

Impossible to pick just one as there’s genuinely no low points at UC (seriously)… BUT - If I had to pick… Saturday mornings with y'all is a pretty epic way to start the weekend!
