Wendy Leukuma
"Emmanuel helped resolve my stubborn hip pain. Very knowledgeable and effective training sessions. Added bonus of increased glute strength. Will help me tackle the Marji again this year. Highly recommend!"
Damir Brandt
"I joined BodyPNCH at the beginning of this year looking to test my own discipline and try something new. At first I knew nothing about boxing, it was challenging and even a bit scary but I kept coming back. Through Emmanuel’s guidance I grew immensely in my boxing abilities, he helped me through everything from the fundamentals to sparing other opponents in the ring. BodyPNCH is a great community full of driven people that gives you a sense of purpose! If you’re on the fence about trying a combat sport there’s no better place to learn than here."
Julie Lindloff
"BodyPNCH truly means so much to me and my family. We had just moved here and I hadn't really found a community to belong to yet. This group of individuals not only embraced me but also encouraged, pushed, and cared for me in not just my physical wellness, but my whole self. Emmanuel has a way of making you feel so comfortable, like you are just hanging out with your friends. At the same time, he pushes you further than you every thought your body could take you. I am so proud of what I've accomplished working with him. His passion for what he does is truly empowering. As a busy mom of three, I rarely take time for myself. BodyPNCH is the first thing that's truly felt like "mine". My kids and husband benefit so much from me having a place I can go and be my own person for an hour. It's completely transformed my physical and mental wellness and I am forever grateful for BodyPNCH!"
Stacy Burress
"I recently took an all women’s boxing class at Body PNCH. Emmanuel definitely welcomes you with ease and comfortability. Being my first time taking a class like this, there was some intimidation when approaching this new experience. Let me tell you.. all that quickly goes away as Emmanuel is truly gifted in his approach. He is empowering and motivating but will also meet you right where you are. As I moved through the class I became more and more comfortable and really embraced the challenge. Then the end of the class, he added 10 mins of yoga and meditation! I was feeling so good… the euphoria I experienced carried me throughout the whole day. I’m inspired by Emmanuel and his energy. You gotta experience this. Leaving feeling like a strong and empowered woman!"
