Why boxing will get you results

If you think it’s just a sport for the rough and tough, you’re wrong. Boxing is now one of the most popular fitness regimes out there and if it’s a lean, toned, strong body you’re after then this could the sport for you.

Scrap any ideas you have about beating a punching bag by yourself, boxing is very much a social sport. Classes are usually made up of around 15 to 20 people and concentrate on pad work and sparring. This means you face opposite someone and throw combination punches at them which they block with their padded gloves. Then you swap and block theirs

What can I expect at a class?

A typical class will start with a 5-minute warm-up, followed by about 45 minute of boxing and finishing with a 10-minute warm-down. Classes will teach you how to punch properly — it’s about technique not strength.

There are three main moves to employ: hooks (“side” punches), jabs (straight forward punches) and up-cuts (punches going upwards). Your instructor will tell you which combinations you’ll be doing, and may also get you to change partners part-way through the work-out.

Don’t think that boxing is an easy ride, though: it’s seriously hard work. Boxing is a high intensity, full body workout that will keep you moving the whole time. When you’re not throwing a punch, you’re ducking and weaving — or doing abdominal work.

What benefits will I see?

Weight loss, increased agility and coordination, muscle tone and greater fitness all result from boxing. Many people think that boxing is all about the arms but it is actually a cardio work-out for the whole body. It’s especially good for toning your bottom and quadriceps muscles, which is perfect for women who want to lose weight around their bottom and thighs as part of an overall reduction programme. Boxing is very much a high repetition work-out so you’ll see tone rather than muscle. It’s also very empowering and people really get pumped up and stuck into it during the moves. While it’s not a self-defence lesson, by the end of the first class, you should be able to throw a solid punch.

I’ve never boxed in my life. Will I be able to do it?

Boxing is all about technique so once you pick up the moves you should be fine. If you’re not particularly fit then that’s not a huge problem. Boxing is actually easier for a lot of people than running. I personally have never come across anyone who can’t box. It’s easy to modify the exercise to suit you so every one of all ages and fitness levels can participate.

It’s not just a sport for the guys either; women actually pick up the combinations faster than men and have more flexibility through their mid-section. The rotation of the back is where all the strength comes from for a punch, not the arms

How long until I see results?

If you do two classes a week for a month you will definitely notice a difference in weight and tone. As long as you follow a healthy eating plan and try and include two further weight sessions in your schedule a week then you’ll see quite dramatic results.

Own boxing gloves are recommended (although gloves will be provided for those who don’t have any).

GROUP FITNESS / BOOT CAMPS

A great way to train with your friends or work colleagues, pushing each other and having fun in the process. Group fitness can be done with as many people as required. It is a fun and exciting way to start or end your day and a great team building experience.

Group Fitness and Boot Camp sessions can be provided at times and venues upon request – please call or email us to discuss.

Price Fitness Testimonial

I had never boxed before I joined Price Fitness’ classes. Working out in a group pushes you hard, the trainer pushes you harder and yet you still have fun”.

Stephen, Kirra QLD

I decided to have a break from training when my PT left the area mid 2009 and I was not keen on starting again with someone new. My husband, Peter had started training with Mat a few months earlier and booked a training session for me, as a trial. I found Mat had a relaxed friendly approach which made it easy for me to return to my training with enthusiasm and determination to do well. He has a professional approach to my program and sensible diet and exercise plans to suit. I joined his boxing class at Bilinga Surf Club, which he runs twice a week. This class is fun and full, with Mat delivering a wide range of movement and challenges, while catering for all levels and personalities, some of us more challenging than others! I would gladly recommend Mat to any body, of any age or level and know he will help to attain the goals one reaches for
