The following is an experience from a female member at our fitness gym in Vaughan:
‘Boxing’, being a male-dominated profession it was
refreshing to see many females getting trained and some as professional MMA
fighters. Alex, the coach has a natural
knack for teaching and is very patient yet strict with all his students.
After a quick introduction, Alex pushed the timer at which I
had to start punching the smallest punching bag in the room until the end of
the buzzer. After a few breaths, I was made to lift light dumbbell weights
followed by a body bar workout. To keep the momentum going, Alex pushed the
timer again, this time I had to punch a bigger punching bag with the help of
gloves, its ideal to get your personal set of gloves but in case one doesn’t
have it, the gym provides them to you. After punching the 2nd bag, I
was made to do the second rep of dumbbells, body bars and disk weights along
with some squats. Off went the buzzer again, this time I had to punch the 3rd
largest bag on the floor. In the third rep, we ran around in circles with a few
stretch exercises followed by dumbbells, body bar and disk weights,
additionally a roller to stretch the abs. Buzzzz, it was time for punching the
4th largest bag and by now I was breaking some serious sweat.
Finally, it was time for some abdominal workout on the
inclined bench followed by a series of stretching exercises to ease the tensed
up muscles. At the end of that one hour, it was indeed a satisfying full body workout
under the supervision of Toronto’s best boxing coach. It is like an indoor boot
camp perfectly suited for Canadian snow. The gym is located close to the
Vaughan subway station making it easily accessible even by the TTC. I have just
enrolled myself and I highly recommend the same for you.
