A non-contact, cardio-focused group class built around the fundamentals. Suitable for all levels, and the ideal place to start if you have never boxed before.
Boxing Basics is a non-contact, cardio-based group class focused on foundational boxing skills. This class welcomes all experience levels and is an excellent starting point for adult beginners and anyone new to boxing.
If you’re new to boxing, this class is the ideal introduction. Your first session is welcoming and challenging. Expect a full-body workout that builds practical skills, burns calories, and improves coordination as you practise footwork and combinations on bags and pads.
Beginners and experienced members train side by side, so you’re never learning alone. The class is accessible, structured, and genuinely enjoyable.
Every session focuses on proper stance, movement, punch mechanics, and defence. From day one, you learn boxing technique the right way, as coaches guide and correct your form throughout each class.
Interval training, bag drills, and pad work help you develop coordination, conditioning, and cardiovascular fitness. Each class delivers a full-body workout that burns calories as you build real boxing skills.
Beginners and experienced members train together, with coaches tailoring the difficulty to your level. You’ll never be the only person trying something new for the first time.
Wear comfortable workout clothes and bring a water bottle. We provide gloves and hand wraps for your first class, so you don’t need to purchase any equipment in advance. Arrive a few minutes early to meet your coach.
Boxing Basics is held on Monday at 7 PM, Tuesday at 7 PM, Thursday at 6 PM, Friday at 6 PM, Saturday at 10 AM, and Sunday at 10 AM.

No prior experience is necessary. Most newcomers begin here to learn stance, footwork, and punch mechanics before advancing to more challenging classes. If you prefer personalized instruction, private training is also available. Once you have the fundamentals down, members can book extra bag time in open gym, and we run a separate youth boxing program for ages 9 to 16.
If you have questions before your first visit, call us at (416) 766-1348 or reach out online. Explore our membership options to continue your training journey.
