Boxing training has become a popular mode of exercise for people wanting body recompositioning and physical conditioning. It makes sense given top boxers - both men and women, particularly in the lighter weight classes - often have great figures/physiques and tremendous endurance, speed, power and conditioning.
Unfortunately, Personal Trainers have jumped on the boxing band wagon despite knowing absolutely nothing about the activity. Many have recognised that boxing gloves, focus mits and pads are some of the cheapest equipment they can buy and therefore offer a huge return on investment. So mock boxing training for 'fitness' is now offered by Personal Trainers in virtually every public park in the country.
As you might expect, nobody seeing a Personal Trainer in the park is coming away looking like a lean, mean boxing machine. Neither do any of the people doing boxing 'classes'. The reason is simple: they don't look like any sort of boxing champion because they haven't become any sort of boxing champion! If you really want to look like a top level boxer then you need to develop the skills and abilities of a top level boxer! And that means training like a top level boxer. Not farting around in the park or gym with someone who has never stepped in a boxing ring in their lives!
For the same or even less money than a PT, people can achieve a massively better workout, skills development and conditioning just by going to a real boxing gym. Such gyms are not necessarily seedy, smelly dungeons. Just check out corporateboxgym.com.au for an example of a top quality, modern facility run by World Champion Boxers and Thai Boxers.
Shaggy, Preacher, Aaron, Shane and the rest of the crew at Corporate Box Gym know their stuff and will give you the workout of your life. If its boxing you want to do, that is the place to do it!
