With my one-on-one personal boxing training you will be trained like a champion and all training will differ depending on the clients skill level and knowledge which I'll determine upon meeting clients for their first scheduled training session. The boxing training sessions will be 90 minutes long with the first half hour being used for stretching and getting warmed up. During our first session I'll ask you questions like what you're interested in learning, what you hope to accomplish with boxing, your athletic ability, skill level, and boxing knowledge. So that I can maximize what training each client needs to do and be taught in order to WIN! Because whenever a goal has been set, done and finished, that's winning.
If a second session is booked then I will customize a specific training workout to cover anything and everything you would ever need to know while getting a great workout.
