What is fitness boxing?

A Boxing class at Powerhouse Gym is a 50-minute cardiovascular workout that entails punching a punching bag, in a dimly-lit room, with your fellow boxers and an adept instructor leading the way. Besides being an excellent cardiovascular exercise, boxing works wonders on your strength, aerobic levels, physical fitness, and cognitive skills.
Why should you join our boxing class?
In case you are wondering why many celebrities and models nowadays are joining a boxing class, wonder no more! The benefits of boxing are endless, and below are 8 quirks that make boxing a one-of-a-kind exercise.
- It is perfect for your heart
Boxing is a high-intensity workout that decreases the risk of heart disease. In fact, boxing exercises require excessive bouts of activity that leave your heart pumping and your lungs working harder every time you put your boxing gloves on!
- Promotes hand-eye coordination
Since boxing requires focused movements and multiple motions at the same time, your visual-motor coordination will automatically become stronger the more you train.
- Improves balance
Studies have shown that boxing exercises have slowed the progression of Parkinson’s disease and improved the balance of patients as it requires focused and repetitive movements along with coordinated footwork.
- Boxing is a full-body workout
Boxing doesn’t only strengthen your arm as most people think, but also your core, back, hips, glutes, and legs. Why? Because you need your entire body to deliver a good blow. In fact, the power you need for a good punch will come from your lower body, and the stability will be needed from your core.

We can’t deny that all exercises trigger happy hormones and boost your mood. However, boxing, in particular, can help you free your mind from all the pent-up tension and stress.
