Have you ever heard the expression “It’s all in your mind”? Well with Faigy Wasserman it’s all in your shoes! Don’t try to take her classes in your regular running shoes — you can’t. Instead you’ll get an awesome pair of rebound shoes to bounce in as you work out to the newest Jewish music hits.
Faigy cheerfully shares the story of how she encountered Kangoo Jumps as the shoes are called. “I wanted to lose weight after my baby was born and I discovered Kangoo classes” she says. “I tried it and I was hooked. The classes are so different from the typical aerobics class I was used to. The shoes are very easy to move in and the classes put me in a great mood. I remember literally bouncing home.”
Rebound shoes were originally designed for joggers and other athletes to lessen impact on their joints. They were redesigned in the 1990s and soon became very popular so they’re a relatively new addition to the exercise scene. Faigy started taking classes four years ago when she lived in Brooklyn. Then she moved to Monsey with her family and couldn’t find any Kangoo classes in the area.
“I missed the classes tremendously so I created my own” she says matter-of-factly. Well maybe it wasn’t that easy! “I had to get trained ” she relates. “I became a certified group fitness trainer and I got a license to become a Kangoo instructor. At first I thought I’d just have a good time with my friends but then word spread and soon I created my own business called Fun ‘n’ Fit.”
