WHY ARE WE UNIQUE?

​

We are more than a Boxing workout program. We are a Community. We run a variety of social activities and events to help promote socialization and build connections. Our Boxing programs are non-contact, we meet the diverse physical and cognitive needs of our clients. At the same time, we provide a great physical workout that helps with the overall health and wellbeing of our clients. We offer both in person and virtual training. The workouts are designed to get your body moving and blood flowing to improve digestion and circulation. Boxing encourages your mind and muscles to work together in synchrony.

All of our Trainers/Coaches are NCCP Certified in Coaching Athletes with a Disability. Our coaches specialize in Special Education and are certified Boxing trainers. Volunteer coaches are trained to work with those who require physical and cognitive accommodation. At Fierce N Fit Boxing we specialize in creating an environment that empowers athletes from all walks of life. We provide A Place for All.  This philosophical statement is the most important part of our Non-Contact Boxing Program.  All of our team members having varying abilities but we pride ourselves on lifting each other up during our training sessions.  We measure our accomplishments based on how we progress as a group and not as individuals.  Our team members encourage each other during training sessions and none of our athletes feel judged. They enjoy training in a safe environment that uses positive energy to uplift everyone involved.

Disability impacts the lives of many Ontarians, and the numbers of people with disabilities is increasing as the population ages. Today, over 15% of Ontario's population has a disability. That's one in seven people. Our society requires programs like Fierce N Fit Boxing to help improve access to physical exercise for all.
