CLASS: BOXING
GLOVES ON. STRESS OFF.
Learn the basics, hit the pads and enjoy a workout that’s as good for clearing your head as it is for improving your fitness.
WHAT IS BOXING?
More Than Just Punching.
Boxing combines boxing technique with a fast-paced fitness workout. You’ll learn the basics of stance and punch combinations while getting your whole body moving and your heart rate up.
A big part of the session is working with a partner on the pads, which keeps things fun, social and gives you the chance to practise different combinations.
It’s a brilliant way to improve your fitness, coordination and confidence - with a coach there to guide you throughout.

WHAT IT TARGETS
Strength. Fitness. Coordination.
UPPER BODY STRENGTH
Punching gets your shoulders, chest, back and arms working throughout the session, helping you build strength, muscular endurance and better coordination.
CORE STRENGTH
Every punch involves rotation and control through your midsection, so your core is constantly working as you move, punch and put combinations together.
CARDIOVASCULAR FITNESS
The combination of punching, pad work and continuous movement gets your heart rate up and challenges your stamina - helping you become fitter and feel more energetic over time.
WHO IS IT FOR?
EVERYONE. No Experience Needed.
You do not need to have ever thrown a punch in your life to walk into our Boxing class. Our PTs break everything down from scratch — stance, guard, jab, cross, hook, uppercut — so you always know exactly what you're doing and why.
Whether you want to get fit, relieve stress, build confidence or just try something completely different — Boxing at Smyths delivers all of it and more.
‘I was terrified walking in. Within ten minutes I was hooked. It's the most fun I've ever had working out — and I've never felt stronger.’

HOW WE DO IT AT SMYTHS
Technique First. Intensity Always.
At Smyths, we don't just throw you at a bag and tell you to hit it. Every session is structured to build real boxing skills alongside serious fitness. Our PTs coach you through proper technique before ramping up the intensity — so you're always moving correctly, always improving, and always working harder than the week before.
REAL BOXING TECHNIQUE
We teach you how to actually box — stance, guard, footwork, combinations. You'll leave every session knowing more than when you walked in. Skills that build week on week.
HIGH-INTENSITY ROUNDS
We structure sessions in rounds — just like real boxing. Work hard, recover briefly, go again. This interval format maximises calorie burn and cardiovascular fitness simultaneously.
VARIED EVERY SESSION
Bag work, pad work, shadow boxing, conditioning circuits — no two sessions are the same. We keep it fresh so your body keeps adapting and you never hit a plateau.
PT-COACHED THROUGHOUT
Our personal trainers are with you every step of the way — correcting form, pushing you harder and making sure you get the absolute most out of every single session.
Real Members. Real Results.
