What does boxing training involve?
Boxing with your trainer is the ultimate full body workout. Legs, hips, glutes, core, obliques, back, shoulders, chest, arms – you use them all. We can do boxing training in your home, in the park or in a gympod. We bring the equipment, you bring the punches.
Why do KBPT personal trainers think boxing is good exercise?
Punching against resistance causes all your muscles to contract with more force and speed, helping to develop your strength and power. We like to include it in our personal training sessions because it:
- Is a great stress reliever (Bad day in the office? Punch it out!)
- Helps to strengthen your muscles and increase muscle tone
- Builds strong bones and ligaments
- Increases cardiovascular fitness
- Improves muscles endurance and core stability
- Boosts your confidence and self esteem
- Is an effective exercise for burning fat
- Improves your reflexes and eye-hand co-ordination
- Gives you self-defence skills
Why do KBPT personal trainers think boxing is such a brilliant workout?
Boxing isn’t just about throwing punches, it’s about building strength, stamina, and confidence. It’s an incredible full-body workout that challenges your muscles, boosts your heart rate, sharpens your coordination, and clears your head.
At KBPT, we love using boxing in our personal training sessions because it’s one of the most empowering, effective, and fun ways to train, whether you’re a total beginner or more experienced. And no, you don’t need to get in a ring or take a punch to feel the benefits.
Here’s why we rate boxing so highly:
- Stress relief that actually works: Got tension to shift? Boxing is a brilliant way to let it all out, safely, powerfully and with purpose.
- Full-body strength: It’s not just arms – proper boxing technique works your shoulders, back, legs and especially your core.
- Improved cardiovascular fitness: It gets your heart rate up, increases endurance and supports long-term heart health.
- Muscle tone and definition: Hitting pads with speed and control builds lean muscle and sculpts the body.
- Fat-burning power: Boxing is high-intensity and keeps you moving – ideal for boosting metabolism and supporting weight loss.
- Core stability and balance: So much of boxing comes from your core – meaning better posture and injury prevention.
- Coordination and agility: Your brain’s working too – reacting, moving, thinking quickly. Great for focus and reflexes.
- Bone and joint strength: The resistance and impact help maintain bone density and strengthen connective tissue.
- Boosts mental well-being: Releases feel-good endorphins and helps reduce anxiety and low mood.
- Confidence-builder: There’s something about learning to box that makes you feel stronger, physically and mentally.
- Practical self-defence: While we’re all about fitness first, boxing does teach real-world movement, reactions and awareness.
