Boxing in a Boxing gym v/s Fitness boxing

You don't get hit and you don't learn true fundamental boxing in a fitness center class. If you're looking to get fit, release some stress, and use some other cardio, free weight, or machine equipment for overall fitness and feeling good, that's the perfect place to do it. If you want to learn real self-defense, learn the fundamentals, and compete, a boxing gym is the place for you. Remember that not all boxing gyms and trainers are created equal though. I've seen a lot of so-called trainers that flat-out suck.

 

Go to a boxing gym. You won't regret it. Usually cheaper and usually get a harder workout.

 

I've never done Fitness Boxing but I'd imagine they don't place a large importance on not getting hit.

 

I think as much as that one on one time with a fitness coach may be nice, being in a room full of other hungry hardworking boxers can only be good for a persons motivation and desire to improve.

 

:deal

 

learning boxing in a fitness gym is homo.

Boxing in a real boxing gym is not.

 

In the fitness class you dont get to much defense

 

Do you even get the fundamentals in Boxing Fitness?

 

Lol at Boxercise

Thats for women who want to feel they won't be raped

 

I did fitness boxing for some time. Its good way to get in some shape before going to competive boxing.
I also sparred quite alot with some 50+ ex boxers but Im not sure if that is norm in other fitness boxing classes.

 

the people you will "spar" with in fitness boxing (spar means punching eachothers gloves) are nothing compared to the boxers and real sparring you will do at a boxing gym

 

This pretty much sums it up. I was going to go in to a detailed response for the threadstarter, but this will do.
