Quick answer

Which boxing class should I start with?

If you have never boxed, start with Beginner Boxing. It teaches stance, guard and footwork, it is non contact, and it runs six times a week. Children aged 6 to 12 start in Kids Boxing.

If fitness is your main goal, Cardio Boxing gives you bag rounds without contact. Women who prefer a women only room can start in Women's Boxing. Your coach will move you up when you are ready.

Guide

Boxing classes explained

Boxing classes here fall into three groups: skill classes that teach you to box, fitness classes that use boxing for conditioning, and youth classes built for kids and teens. Every one is coached in person.

Beginner boxing classes learning stance in Bristol PA

Skill classes

Beginner boxing classes teach stance, footwork, the straight punches and basic defense. Adult Boxing builds combinations and pad work. Advanced Boxing adds speed and power drills and sparring preparation. Amateur boxing training adds supervised sparring for those with a solid base.

Fitness classes

Cardio boxing classes are non contact bag rounds and conditioning. Bootcamp and Strength and Strike are circuit classes in the fitness center. These suit anyone who wants the workout without the contact, including people using boxing for weight loss.

Youth and community classes

Kids boxing classes cover ages 6 to 12 and are strictly non contact. Teens aged 13 to 17 follow the teen boxing program inside the regular classes. Boxing classes for women run three times a week in a women only room.

Muay Thai

Our Muay Thai classes teach kicks, knees, elbows and clinch with the same coaching standard as boxing. Many members train both.

How often to train

The CDC recommends adults get 150 minutes of moderate activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity a week, and children aged 6 to 17 get 60 minutes every day. Two or three boxing classes a week meets the adult target for most people.

Class sizes and coaching

Classes stay small enough for the coach to correct each person by name. That matters most in the first month, when stance, guard and footwork are being built. Every class is coached in person by Tim Witherspoon Jr. and his staff, never by a screen or a recorded workout. If you prefer one to one attention, boxing personal training is available seven days a week.

Questions

Class questions

What ages do you teach?
Kids Boxing covers ages 6 to 12. Teens and adults train in the regular classes. There is no upper age limit.

Which class burns the most energy?
