Boxing Classes & More

I’m looking for somewhere near Perth CBD that offers kickboxing, boxing or some sort of fitness class that offers pay as you go classes. Anywhere that has female only classes would be preferable and I have never taken lessons before so I would need adult beginner lessons.
I was looking for something a little more central as I live in the city and don’t drive.

I go to my Fight Club in Osbourne Park, you have MMA such as kickboxing, wrestling, grappling, boxing and so on.

Been doing push ups and other weight training for about 2 months now.

For the first time I went to a boxing fitness class thing and now my arms are pretty sore. Are they sore because I’ve been working too hard? or is it just muscle building

Its just muscle building, and using new muscles in different ways then normal. Don’t worry, in a few days you’ll feel better. Just your body getting used to it.

I want to start taking fitness classes at my gym to get in shape! I want to tone my whole body: lose fat in my stomach, tone my legs, and tone my arms. I want to know which classes I should take that will help me reach my goal! So here are the classes, and a brief description that is given…
Bootcamp- This class combines weights and high/low impact cardio which will work all your major muscle groups.
Cardio Fusion- This class is a combination of all different kinds of cardio exercises which might include step, double step, kickboxing and hi/low impact aerobics.
Kickboxing- This is an hour long kick boxing class that will take you through fun combinations of punches and kicks in a low impact, high intensity format.
Core Strength- This is a non-cardio class that will concentrate on strengthening abdominal and lower back muscles.
Yoga, Zumba, or Pilates
All ABS
Power Body Sculpture
Reminder- These classes are in addition on my running scedule, biking, and various other workouts. Thanks!

zumba. its a fun workout. you dance dance dance and at the same time you get fit. what else can you ask for =]

Hi everyone! I was wondering if the group fitness instructor certificate is a good career choice? I would like to teach classes like yoga, aerobics, kick boxing etc… could i teach other fitness classes? Is the pay good? do other fitness instructors do other jobs on the side? Thanks for the advice

Most gyms I’ve been too only require certs for personal training, even when leading group. Some (mostly corporate gyms) ask for group certs – mostly because their insurance carrier asks for it. If your looking from a income perspective, a Group cert does give you more options to enter into sports training, and sports rehabilitation.

"could i teach other fitness classes? " Simple answer is yes. SHOULD you is another question. Ive seen people teaching yoga and Pilates that, in my opinion, are unqualified. Taking a 6 month class in Yoga or Pilates, for example doesn’t make the person a subject expert. Unfortunately – it’s enough for the gym in order for them to create a class (and charge accordingly).

i just started training for boxing this tuesday and went again on friday i go twice a week because thats all i can really afford to spend do i need to go three times a week or is two good enough also i got personal fitness class at my school so i do weight lifiting and running for about an hour and im joining the swim team so should that help make up for only going twice a week
and i aint got a bag at my house the only type of equipment i got is a jump rope i use that and shadow boxing when im at home training for boxin

I alternate strength training one day with speed training the next day, taking Sunday off altogether. Strength days I do push ups, abdominal workout, pull ups, balance exercises (that work the legs), lift weights-if you don’t have weights use paint buckets, rocks, logs, etc. If you have weights, the leg curl, leg press, dumbbell press, lat pulldown, and use 10 or 15 pound weights shadowboxing with them to build handspeed. Speed days I do shadowboxing practicing both offensive combos and defensive positioning, speedbag, jumprope for either 10 or 15 minutes, a dozen fartlek runs of about 60 yards each, and jumping jacks and stretches for cool down.

Hi,
I have a bit of experience in boxing but I am just wondering where is the best place to start to box in Perth WA. I want to learn the skills of boxing not just a fitness class and if I am good enough at boxing I might want to compete. Where is a good place to start for beginners?

I don’t have specific answer for you but here is a list of boxing gyms in the state of Washington…

i tore my meniscus about 3 months ago and was out for 2 months and have been getting in shape for about a month now. I used to weigh 190, but after i tore my meniscus i weighed 203. This past month i have gone to LA FItness and went to Kick boxing and boxing classes that last an hour each monday – thursday and saturday morning. After each workout i drink an isopure zero carb drink that comes in a glass bottle with 40 g of preotien…i have lost 5 pounds in a month so far…what can i expect in results for the next 2-3 months? I do eat a lot, but have cut back eating after my workouts which all are at 8 p.m… btw, im 19, 5’9.

You are doing well!

However your diet — what you eat — is important to develop into a healthy one, with a balance and mix of good healthy foods. At 19 your body can run on a bad diet, since all internal systems are at their peak of lifetime ability. But long term a bad diet will take a hit on them. A monotonous diet is a bad diet. Personally I don’t like any ‘zero’ anything. And I fear high protein diets — I like what some might consider a high fat diet, as long as they are natural fats.

The diet plan under P90X is a low-carb low-fat approach that is healthy enough. Me, I’d have more fats in it, as a percentage of calories.

From what you describe you’ll be continuing to lose, maybe another 10-12 pounds in three months. But work on developing great lifetime eating habits.
