The full club session
This is the 90 minute session, not the fitness class. You learn to box: stance, guard, footwork, the punches, defence, and how to put them together against someone who is moving.
Whether you ever get in a ring is up to you. Some of the people on the bags here are training for competition, and some just want to be genuinely good at boxing and get fit doing it. Both get the same coaching.
Burnie Boxing Club runs from this venue and has its own site at burnieboxing.com.

神 Questions
Worth knowing
before you start
What age can kids start boxing?
Boxing starts at age 7. Some conditions apply depending on the child, so ring 0409 858 304 and we will let you know.
Do I have to spar?
No. Sparring is available to those who want it and are ready for it. Plenty of members train for years without sparring.
What gear do I need?
Nothing for the first session — come in gym clothes. After that you will want wraps and gloves, and we will tell you what to get.
Is this the same as boxing fitness?
No. Boxing training is the full 90 minute club session including sparring for those who want it. Boxing fitness is a 45 minute conditioning class with no contact, run at the same start time.
Are the coaches accredited?
Yes. Boxing coaching is nationally accredited.
