Boxing fitness Bristol

Let’s upper cut to the chase, what is your goal?

Would you like to learn how to fight and be able to use your skills? Or are you only looking for a fun way to get fitter and stronger, or maybe to get back into shape and lose a couple of kilos?

Boxing Fitness

Boxing for fitness and boxing for an actual fight are two very different activities with
different goals, training methods, and outcomes.


Boxing training involves learning proper technique, working combinations on pads and the bag, and eventually light sparring. Training for a fight involves regular intense workouts and sparring, as well as structuring the training and eating for the fighter to peak on a certain date. We appreciate some clients may just want to boxercise to get fit and some may want to actually learn how to box properly!

Boxing workouts

A boxing workout is a great way to get in shape and improve your fitness level. You don’t need to go to an intimidating boxing gym – we can train you the right way in a welcoming environment.

Goals: The primary goal of boxing classes is to improve one’s overall physical health and fitness and learn a fun new skill.


Strength and Power: Boxing involves a lot of upper body movements like punching, which helps to build strength and power in your arms, shoulders, and chest. It also involves a lot of footwork and lower body movements, which help to build leg and core strength.


Coordination and Balance: Boxing requires a lot of coordination and balance to be effective. You need to be able to move quickly and smoothly, while maintaining your balance and positioning. This can help to improve your overall coordination and balance.


Stress Relief: Boxing is a great way to relieve stress and release tension. It allows you to channel your aggression and frustration in a controlled and productive way, which can be very cathartic.


Fun and Engaging: Boxing is a fun and engaging way to get in shape. It provides a great workout that is both challenging and rewarding. Plus, it’s a great way to meet new people and make friends.

Boxing training

Overall, boxing training is a great way to improve your fitness level and overall health. It provides a challenging and engaging workout that can help you to achieve your fitness goals.


If you are weight training, boxing can be a great complement to help keep you lean whilst you build muscle. Additionally, many boxing workouts include resistance training exercises like push-ups, squats, and lunges, which can further promote muscle growth.


On the other hand, if your goal is to lose weight, boxing can also be an effective way to do so. The high-intensity nature of boxing workouts can help to burn a significant amount of calories in a relatively short amount of time. Additionally, the constant movement and engagement of your entire body can help to increase your metabolism and promote fat loss.

Ultimately, whether boxing is better for gaining muscle or losing weight depends on how you approach your training and what your goals are. However, it’s worth noting that boxing can be a great workout for both goals and can provide a number of other benefits as well, including improved cardiovascular health, increased coordination and balance, and stress relief.
