How it works
Why are you boxing? Pick one
The first class is the same for everyone: stance, guard and the jab. After that, your coach plans for what you want from it.
Fitness and fat loss
Two classes a week of bag rounds, pad work and conditioning. Hard work that doesn’t feel like a treadmill.
12 weeks
Class 1
Stance, guard and the jab
- What happens
- How to stand, move and throw without hurting your wrists.
- How we do it
- Hand wraps on, coach beside you, light bag work only.
Weeks 1–4
Combinations on the bag
- What happens
- Jab, cross, hook in short rounds with rest.
- How we do it
- Rounds start at 1 minute and build to 2.
Weeks 5–12
Pads and conditioning
- What happens
- Pad rounds with a coach, skipping and core work.
- How we do it
- Pair boxing with strength days for fat loss; boxing alone burns energy but doesn’t build much strength.
What to expect
- Sore shoulders in week one
- Three-minute rounds by week 12
- Pair with the calorie calculator if fat loss is the goal
Learn it as a skill
For people who want to box properly: technique, defence and ring movement, at your own pace.

Questions
Boxing classes: your questions
Still unsure? Message a coach on WhatsApp. Real person, usually within 10 minutes.
I’ve never boxed. Can I join a class?
Yes. Most people start with no experience. The first class covers stance, guard and the jab, and the coach stays with beginners.
Do I have to spar?

What do I need to bring?
Sportswear, trainers, a towel and water. Gloves and wraps are available to borrow for your first classes.
Is boxing good for losing weight?
It is good conditioning and burns energy. Weight loss still depends on food, so pair classes with a calorie target and strength days.
Are classes mixed?
Yes, men and women train together, and a woman trainer is available on request.
How much are boxing classes?
Classes are included in Gym + classes (NPR 6,000 a month) or NPR 800 for a single class.
