How are you guys doing? I have worked with many many people in this time period and what I have learned is that ever Skilled Person is not created the same. I get low down and engaged in every single session, with my clients, to show them the it is doable/ maybe modified but definitely doable. That, in turn, inspires the client to see that Coach/ Sgt. is right there with them striving to get that rep/ exercise in! I wenjoy when that ligfht bulb finally goes off and we see the eyes light up when they see the progress, however, small. That is when that student will start giving, even more, once they look and see the weight loss/ the toning/...

Melvin F. says, "I had never bought into group workouts until a friend asked me to join one of Greg's classes. That first time, I saw how Greg will make you push yourself harder and harder without expecting you to go past your physical limits-which is exactly what I needed after years of training by mys self at the gym. As Ive trained with Greg, Ive felt my stamina grow, and Ive learned to control my breath to keep up and get better and better. His energy is super cntagious too! So, you will be sweting like a maniac every time and have a great time doing it." Read more

Your boxing questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

Boxing classes cost $30 to $60 per class or $100 to $200 per month on average. Total prices depend on the location, experience, and how often you meet. On top of the cost of lessons, you may need to buy the following equipment:

  • Wraps or gauze: $5 to $20
  • Boxing gloves: $20 to $80
  • Mouth guard: $10 to $20

There are 17 different weight classes in boxing that help prevent injury and promote fair fights. Only people in the same weight class can box with each other. The lightest class is called Strawweight and is for people that weigh 105 to 107 pounds. The largest is Heavyweight and is for people over 200 pounds.

Boxing classes are worth it if you're looking for a good whole-body workout or want to learn self-defense. Boxing is easier to learn and inexpensive compared to many gym memberships or martial arts classes.

Boxing is not only a good cardio workout, it also works out the arms, legs, and core. This fighting style also releases tension in a safe environment while helping you reach fitness goals.

Most people attend boxing classes 1 to 3 times per week, though this depends on your budget and schedule. For the best results, consider exercising at the gym or at home in between classes to build strength and endurance.

Wear comfortable, lightweight clothing and shoes to a boxing class. Most people wear shorts and a T-shirt or tank top. Remember to bring a water bottle and small towel to hydrate and remove sweat during the workout.

Start by searching our list of boxing classes, then:

  • Get 3+ free estimates to compare.
  • Read their reviews on Lessons and Google.
  • Choose a gym that is licensed and experienced.
  • Get a written estimate and schedule before the classes begin.
  • Follow a payment schedule instead of making large payments up front.

After asking questions and verifying credentials, hire the best boxing instructor in your area.

When looking for local boxing classes, ask these questions:

  • How long have you been teaching boxing classes?
  • Are you licensed and insured?
  • How many students do you have?
  • Are you experienced teaching beginners?
  • Do you have any current openings?
  • Are there any other people in my weight class here?
  • How often would you recommend meeting based on my experience level?
  • Can I have an estimate or contract in writing?

It's practically and easily usable the same day you learn especially if you unfortunately have to be in a situation to use it. Besides the physical skill set you have receive the mind set to deal with critical life scares.

Kevin was awesome, patient, and very knowledgeable in boxing class. I never knew a thing about boxing, but his approach and commitment to train me who doesn’t know boxing very well, he will catch you up to speed. The drills are rigorous, but fun, and he will help you build up confidence in the sport and in yourself. I absolutely highly recommend this class.

Coach Coop, embraced, my son Marcus not only as a coach, but as a surrogate father! I'm witnessing Marcus evolve from undisciplined head strong child and boxer, to a discipline young man and a boxer on the rise! The respect and dedication Marcus has for Coach Coop and the team, makes me proud. Thank you Coach on some many levels! In closing, Marcus told me, he's going to win a Championship belt! And I truly believe he will!!!

Training sessions and classes with Greg are always the perfect mix of challenging and fun. He pushes you to do better than your best and helps you holistically improve your health and well being. Sometimes you even get more of a workout from belly laughing than you do from the actual exercises.
