Get fit, have fun and learn a new skill. Boxing Works!

Boxing and Kickboxing has been proven to be one of the most effective methods of training to help you loose weight and get fit.

Some of the many benefits are

• Burn body fat,
• Improve strength and power
• Increase cardiovascular fitness and endurance
• Improve bone density
• Improve flexibility
• Improves balance and co-ordination
• Helps in self confidence
• Teaches elements of self defence
• Reduces stress

Training at Boxing Works will help you not only reach your fitness goals but will teach you a skill set that you can take with you anywhere in the world and continue training.

Classes vary in intensity and skill level. Basic classes start with a warm up of stretching and skipping and progress into techniques. Classes also involve students working with a partner on the bags or with mitts, using punching and kicking combinations. More advanced classes involve high intensity pad and bag work and light-contact sparring drills.

Lunchtime classes (40 minutes) work on strength and endurance. They finish with a session of letting out aggression on the punch bags and abdominal work with the medicine balls. In the evening classes (from 45 to 60 minutes) you learn, perfect, and apply technique using pads and punch bags. At the end of the class you are encouraged to have an all-out bash on the bag (during which you can visualise a past boyfriend or girlfriend or your boss’ face – whichever works for you).

Many of the students at Boxing Works are women which is something we are proud of. Most begin training because they want to get fit, but many end up getting hooked on trying to perfect the art and skill of putting together a crisp seven punch combination.

You can wear normal work-out clothes and don’t need shoes.

Due to the current COVID-19 environment gloves are no longer provided and you will need to purchase your own which are available at reception.
