WHEN AND WHERE ARE THE CLASSES?
BOXERCISE classes are held weekly at Marske Leisure Centre on a Monday evening from 5.30 - 6.30pm in the downstairs Sports Hall, with male instructor, Anthony.
HOW MUCH ARE THE CLASSES?
Classes are £3.75 per session. Check out our Special Offers and discounts though for some great savings on classes.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I ATTEND?
We would recommend attending Boxercise alongside two other cardio workouts, (e.g. Running, Cycling, Swimming, Football, or any of the following classes: Body Attack Challenge, Body Combat, Zumba, Body Attack, Body Fit), plus some strength and conditioning work such as Pilates or Body Pump. Flexibility work would also be a great compliment to your programme, which Body Balance or Pilates is great for.
WHEN WILL I NOTICE RESULTS?
Once you’ve started BOXERCISE you should see improvements in your level of fitness within about six weeks. As you progress you should also experience fat loss and improved muscle tone, especially when combined with a calorie controlled diet.
boxercise... WHAT'S THAT?
BOXERCISE is a non nonsense, high-intensity fitness class specifically designed to cater for all fitness levels. You’ll experience a high-energy workout for cardiovascular fitness, along with upper and lower body conditioning exercises for building strength and stamina. The class is great fun and a great stress reliever!
SO DESCRIBE A TYPICAL CLASS
BOXERCISE is designed around a 55-minute class incorporating a number of set exercises to promote total fitness in a circuit or boxing style drill. A strike pads and boxing gloves are used and a variety of non complex, high intensity exercises will increase your fitness, shape, tone and strength.
HOW DO I DO boxercise SAFELY?
Your fully qualified Boxercise instructor is there to make sure you do everything correctly, but try to remember:
- Good posture is the foundation of all exercise.
- Focus on learning the right technique at the beginning.
- Work continuously at perfecting your technique.
- Perform the movements with control - smooth actions, not jerky.
- Always keep your joints slightly bent, don’t lock out your arms or legs.
- Listen to your body, it will tell you if something is not right.
- Boxercise should feel challenging, but at any time you need to take a rest, that’s fine!
Boxercise is for everyone. Because the moves are simple you don’t need to be especially well coordinated. Some muscle pain is natural at first, especially if it’s the same on both sides of your body. This is muscle soreness. Muscle soreness is typical when starting out on a training programme and normally occurs 24 to 48 hours after exercise. If you have pain down only one side or in the joints, check with the instructor. If the pain continues, see your doctor.

boxercise TESTIMONIAL
"I tried Boxercise for the first time last week and can’t wait for the next class. When I arrived at the class I very nearly changed my mind because I thought I would be the least fit person there, but to be honest there was a mixture of really, really fit people and really, really unfit people like me there! Humey, the instructor was really friendly and put me at ease. If you were already really fit then he pushed you a bit harder and those of us who were struggling were given easier options and allowed to have quick rests!
My brother is going to come along with me next week too. He claims that he is allergic to exercise but I have said if he doesn’t like it I’ll buy him an Indian takeaway after the class!"
