EXERCISE BECAUSE YOU LOVE IT
Our programs help people unleash & empower their everyday warriors, inner resources for pushing past, & enjoying, the challenges of daily life.
POWERSTRIKE
Powerstrike Kickboxing is an aerobic workout based on martial arts movements. Punching and kicking will improve balance and coordination while burning calories and fat. Punches and kicks made with precision and power help to build upper and lower body muscles. Our exercises and routines are specifically designed to develop coordination and speed, and mastering the art of kicking and punching properly, will develop stronger abdominal muscle and improve balance.
Powerstrike Kickboxing is a total body workout, an energizing hour of choreographed safe martial arts movements. You’ll kick, punch, squat and burn the calories away in this high intensity cardiovascular workout!
ATLETICA
Personal Training in a classroom…Atletica takes a whole body approach based on Ilaria’s own training.
Unlike traditional body sculpt classes, Atletica exercises are multi-jointed complex exercises that are designed to make students stronger. These movements are demanding and rewarding, students build and sculpt muscles, strengthen their core, and improve balance, stamina and flexibility by using dumbbells and their own body weight. Atletica is a total body workout in one short hour!
FORZA
Forza, which means “strength” in Italian, uses Samurai sword training to build body and mind.
Forza is a full body workout that burns calories, builds upper body and core strength and tones leg muscles. Students use wooden swords to perform graceful controlled movements which are combined into easy and then gradually challenging routines. Precise, powerful repetitions demand strict concentration and intense physical exertion. The fluid workout is safe for all levels and beautiful to watch, yet still a cardiovascular feat.
This unique approach to building physical and mental strength has been featured on the Today Show, Dr. Oz and numerous other media outlets.
BODYSTRIKES
Bodystrikes is an intense cardiovascular experience which incorporates strengthening exercises such as squats and lunges, martial arts kicks and ballet moves.
These three styles of movement work the legs from all angles, while shaping glutes and abs…this is a comprehensive lower body workout! Power and resistance are obtained solely from each individual’s bodyweight.
Commitment to this high intensity workout will allow you to burn hundreds of calories and focus on building a lean, muscular lower body that enables better balance, flexibility and stamina.
IMPACT
Impact takes kickboxing to another level. Wearing boxing gloves, students perform basic combinations of punches and kicks on freestanding bags. Repeatedly hitting a target improves form and technique while also increasing stamina, speed and agility. Impact is the next level of shadow kickboxing! Students learn to push pass their comfort zones and train themselves to be more energetic, motivated and fearless in other areas of their lives.
This one hour, highly addictive workout is safe for all levels and can be performed at varying degrees of intensity. Impact is as much mental as physical.
SELF DEFENSE
Learn Self-Defense through exercises designed to prepare you to defend yourself against an attacker.
Close to 2 millions women get attacked in the US every year. Fighting back can reduce the risk of assault by 80% (National Institute of Justice). Our program is a unique mix of workout and self-defense instruction: exercises are chosen to strengthen the core and to facilitate specific standing and on the ground attacks. Techniques will be practiced solo and with a partner.
Having the proper mindset is the difference between success and failure: Flip from Defensive to Proactive!
CERTIFICATION
5 PROGRAMS – 5 CERTIFICATIONS
Our certifications are designed for instructors interested in teaching group fitness classes. Each certifications is divided in 2 separate dates or modules. Module 1 is designed to teach and to practice the movements and principles for each workout. It is an intense training day and it is open to anyone interested in attending a workshop designed to set the foundation for a strong and successful martial arts/fitness workout. Those interested in becoming Certified Instructors will be required to study and practice the material learned during the first module and attend M2 prepared to teach that specific workout. We strongly recommend that instructors interested in the full certification familiarize themselves with the workout prior each training by taking class, or though the DVD.
INSTRUCTORS
Learning something new requires practice and learning to teach any of our programs requires practice, dedication and passion. And then more practice. To successfully complete Module 2, instructors have to be able to comfortably teach that specific workout. We offer our “in training” instructors the option to take Module 2 more than once so that they can perfect and hone their teaching skills while practicing with other instructors.
CERTIFIED INSTRUCTORS
“In training” instructors become Certified Instructors when they can teach Level 1 of a specific program with correct form, proper cueing, following the system choreography with music and showing energy and passion for what they are teaching.
HOW DO I SIGN UP?

HOW LONG DOES MY CERTIFICATION LAST?
With the increasing demand of our programs, we felt the need to upgrade our training system. Now in order to continue to insure the success of our instructors and to maintain the quality of our programs, each certification is valid for 1 year. Instructors that have attended our trainings in the previous year, please contact us at info@powerstrike.com for additional information.
