What if I have an injury? Or if I'm pregnant?

If your doctor gives you the go-ahead but says you should take it easy, we'll modify your workouts to keep things safe while still giving you the full boxing experience.

Am I really going to learn how to box? Will I ever have to fight against an opponent?

Yes, you will learn how to box. We promise. Our goal is to teach you the beautiful sport of Boxing. After you've learned these fundamental skills, you'll work on improving your form and speed through drills and practice. You'll also get to work out against a partner—but only after you've mastered the basics.
