You do not need to compete to be able to train at Empire. We have a thriving class of keep fit enthusiasts who come along to experience the rewards that boxing conditioning has to offer. Whether you'd like to get fitter, are training for a specific sporting discipline or have always just fancied trying your hand at this marvelous sport, we can help.

About the class

Our keep fit class are over 17s who train alongside our boxing squad. You will be able to take part in boxing conditioning drills and disciplines. In short, you will train like a boxer. You will learn the basics of boxing such as stance, guard, defence and punching techniques.

Although our keep fitters play a valued part at Empire, on occasion our boxing squad (as representatives of our club) will be prioritised, especially in the run up to bouts/shows.

Many of our keep fitters have gone on to make the step up to competition and joined our boxing squad. If you are interested in training for competition please have a chat with one of our coaches.
