What boxing gives them

Adults working a fitness circuit on the bags and mats
Fitness

Boxing training works the whole body — strength, speed and endurance. Few sports get people fitter, whatever the starting point.

Confidence

Learning a hard skill in a supportive gym builds self-belief. It shows at school, at work and everywhere else.

Discipline

Structure, routine and respect for the coach and for each other. The habits of training carry into everyday life.

Belonging

A club, not just a gym. Boxers, parents and coaches who know each other, and a place to be part of.
