Fat Burning

Boxing can easily burn as much as 1000 calories per session. Boxing is your best friend when it comes to losing weight and our bespoke bag attack class will make your heart pump faster than you can imagine.

Increased Muscle Tone

A typical boxer’s physique is toned and defined without a lot of bulk and that’s why it’s perfect if you really want to tone up. 

Increased Cardiovascular Fitness

Boxing is a full body movement so when you throw punches a huge number of your body’s muscles are contracting at the same time. This makes your heart and lungs work overtime to pump blood containing oxygen all around your body.

Improved Strength and Power

Boxing is the ultimate full body workout. Correctly thrown punches use your legs, hips, glutes, core, obliques, back, shoulders, chest and arms. Punching against resistance causes all of these muscles to contract with more force and speed, developing further your strength and power.

Stress Relief

Sure, boxing is a fantastic physical activity that can help you get in shape, but it has psychological benefits too. Hitting stuff can make you feel really good! Take out the stresses of your normal life in a safe, controlled environment.

Coordination improvement

The next benefit you are going to get from boxing is to develop your coordination. The more you train, the better you become.

Boxing requires a lot of coordination because you have to be able in a certain direction you need in the shortest amount of time as possible, while at the same time managing targeted punches to your opponent.

Confidence boost

Once you start your training journey, you will become stronger, faster, healthier, your shape will improve and it will definitely make you feel better and more confident about yourself. And late night walks might not be frustrating for you anymore, as you’ll be able to protect yourself.
