IMPACT Kickboxing Fitness

When Katerina—who has a love and fascination for movement of the human body—first discovered the existence of aerial silks in college, she made a point to involve herself in this unique art. She took her very first aerial class here at Ascend in 2016 and has never looked back since. In 2019, Katerina decided to take her training a step further and take Paper Doll Militia's teacher training course. She is thrilled that she gets to introduce folks to the wonderful world of aerial and help them set solid technical foundations that are essential for learning higher-level skills. Aerial silks is for everyone and anyone, and Katerina hopes to see you in class soon. 

Jinnia’s interest in the martial arts started as a little girl watching Kung Fu movies with her father. It grew into taking Kempo Karate with her own children, and became a passion when she started going to Impact Kickboxing Fitness in May 2019. She is grateful to be part of the dedicated, skillful and friendly Impact ninja team that makes exercise fun, challenging and rewarding. Jinnia is ACE Group Fitness and CPR certified, and believes that training your body in kickboxing movements improves focus and energy in everyday life.

I started going to Impact in January 2016. As a previous ice skating instructor and dancer with no experience in any type of martial arts, I had no idea what to expect. I immediately fell in love with it and took as many classes as I could throughout the week. I never thought that I would become an assistant at Impact, but here I am now with the help and support of Erik and all the other instructors at Impact! I am friendly, caring and always there to help, so catch me running around the gym trying to help out anyone in need! I’m enjoying every moment of being at Impact and love helping others get a fun kick butt workout in with a big smile on my face.
