Special Needs Boxing
Our boxing sessions focus on the importance of staying active and staying connected. We cater to all abilities and fitness levels. Our training programs are non-contact and developed to meet a variety of physical and cognitive needs. Each workout is led by a group of experienced and trained coaches. Athletes will participate in group activities and will also receive individualized focused attention throughout each class.
​
Our special-needs boxing program encourages a team-based approach to achieving fitness goals for our clients. The athletes encourage each other to progress at their own pace in a non-threatening and encouraging environment. Our athletes never feel judged or discouraged. Our coaching philosophy and caring approach help our team members reach their full potential.
Every team member is appreciated and is an integral part of the team.
Group Training is great for those looking to have a regular exercise routine and at the same time provides an opportunity to interact with friends and peers who have similar goals and interests. This boxing program is non-contact and will help develop strength, coordination and balance which will ultimately help enhance ones’ confidence and self-esteem.
We also organize themed Thursdays and other social events to encourage interaction and communication among the athletes.
