Despite being what you might consider a small aspect of your technique, breathing and breathwork can have a massive overall impact on your power, speed and focus when you box.

Have you heard about UBX and intrigued by our unique boxing and strength workout, but not quite sure what to expect? Let us take you through a play-by-play of what will happen once you walk through our doors!

The beauty of boxing is that you can start with the basics and continue developing the skill long-term because there’s no limit to your progression. If you’re new to boxing, it might seem like a lot to take in, so we’ve put together the below article to break down the basics of boxing as both a sport and form of fitness, and how to get started as a beginner.

Boxing offers more than just skill and technique – when used correctly, boxing has the potential to build muscle and strength through it’s combination of workout intensity, systematic muscle activation, and endurance exercises. In addition to the agility and speed, the technique and power required for boxing in turn activates and conditions muscles throughout your entire body. At UBX, we combine boxing and strength to deliver a full-body workout that progressively builds muscle, whilst benefiting all round health and fitness.

Boxing not only helps you to get toned and build muscle, and increase your speed and endurance, it can make your training more fun. It’s also a great option for a mental health boost and a fast and effective workout to break up your weekly routine.

There’s no boxing ring, and you never have to spar with other members – our workout is completely adaptable to each individual and offers a fun, high-intensity boxing and strength workout that’s finished in under 45 minutes.

You don’t – because you don’t have to book. Our Flexible Start Times mean you can step into the gym and start your workout at any round, any time.

Unlike traditional 24/7 gyms that are packed with hundreds of different types of fitness equipment, a boutique gym is usually class-based or workout-based and offer group-training (rather than training independently).

So, rather than having a membership to a gym where you arrive and have to figure out what to do when you get there, at a boutique gym, you can arrive and you’ll have a program ready to go, with all of the equipment you need set up for you to get started.

Are you one of those people who have always wanted to try boxing, but the idea of being a beginner in a gym full of experienced fighters has always put you off? If so, you’re not alone!
