Boxing.

From your first jab to your first spar — technique-led coaching from a former pro. Beginners absolutely welcome.

What is Boxing at Pulse?

Boxing at Pulse is the antidote to "boxercise." We don't throw a hundred random punches to a playlist. We teach you to box — properly. Stance, weight transfer, head movement, the four punches, then the combinations that actually land in real bouts.

Tony Romero runs the boxing programme. He spent eight years competing in Mexico and now coaches both beginners and amateur competitors. The first time you walk in, he'll teach you how to stand — and you'll probably be surprised how technical that is. By session three you'll be throwing combinations on the pads with him.

We don't force sparring on anyone. Open sparring runs Saturday mornings for those who want it, with strict pairing rules so you only ever spar at your level. Most members never need to spar to get fitter than they've ever been.

60-minute breakdown

10m

Skip + warm-up

Three rounds of rope, shadow drills, dynamic warm-up. Get loose, get focused.

15m

Technique

Drill of the day: a punch, a defensive move or a combination. Slow reps before fast reps.

25m

Pad work + bag work

Partnered pads (alternating), then heavy bag rounds. Tony walks the floor and corrects.

10m

Core + cool-down

Boxer's abs — circuits, planks, stretches. Walk out lighter than you walked in.

Who it's for

You'll fit right in if…

  • You've always wanted to learn to box but worried you'd look stupid. Everyone starts here.
  • You want a workout that's mental as much as physical. Boxing demands focus.
  • You're an amateur competitor looking for serious technical coaching.
