Difference between boxing and fitness at our gym

why our trainer Alex is here to build a customized workout schedule that works best for you because we
want to reap the benefits from your exercises. Firstly, our boxing program focuses mostly on capability and technique. As for fitness, we focus on your overall body development and core. At our gym, we are dedicated to provide the highest services when it comes to you achieving your goals.

What kind of member do we have at our gym? At Golden GlovesFitness, we have an open-minded policy that accepts anybody who is interested in improving their health and wellness. We have children, adults, men and woman of all orientations at our location, located north of Toronto.

Boxing and Fitness is great for your posture!



There are many ways you can improve your posture! But, boxing is one of the most effective ways. That is, if you do it properly. At Golden Gloves Fitness we help you have a nice stance and place that back right in the correct position that you have been looking for all this time!  Don’t rush to the bags just yet! You got to make sure you have that right orthodox stance first and be well balanced on your feet. Don’t curve your back or lean forward but rather slightly lean back and keep your back straight and round your shoulder blades around your head. First and foremost, you must do the proper stretching and warming up before hand. And only then you may proceed to hitting the bag.

Once you are ready, do not start with the heavy bag. Proceed to the light one first. Do easy jabs and focus on your balance. At our gym we have something called a double-end which is a bag that is stretched by 2 ropes at both ends and bounces back and forth each time you hit it. It is perfect for introducing your body to some resistance to your punches. Make sure you do each and every punch properly. Our coach Alex can definitely help you with that. Keeping your upper body up and hands close to your chin, you are ready to move on the heavy bag once you have finished with the light one.

At the heavy bag, try to do a mix of close and distance punches. Never repeat the same move over and over again because your muscles get used to the same movement very quickly. Try to do hooks, uppercuts and moving around the bag with agility while practicing. Always remember to keep a good posture and stance at the bag. Once you are done with the bags, do not finish your workout without calming down exercise. A light jog, some skipping rope or doing some abdominal work is always a good idea. As you can tell Boxing and fitness is a great source for your physique and posture

So, do not hesitate to come by our gym in Vaughan, 1st major intersection north of Toronto (Hwy7 & Jane) to give it a try and see how we are doing. 

All the best and we hope to see you soon- the Golden Gloves team.

Boxing at Golden Gloves Fitness



                I have been a passionate boxer throughout my life and I wanted to share my knowledge of this great sport with the rest of the world. I have opened Golden Gloves Fitness in Woodbridge, Ontario area in 2006 to serve people who wish to push their bodies beyond their limits and at the same taking in consideration their conditions, skills, and their approach to this discipline. For me, boxing is a science, a way of life, and a skill that always proved to be useful throughout my life. It is
useful because there are always results for the body and strengthening of the mind. After a great boxing session, I feel refreshed and ready to take on new challenges in my life. In the morning when I wake up, I feel good about the improvements of my body and I always note the tranquility boxing has brought to my mind.
                When I start my class, I begin with a warm up by stretching the body for the first 15 minutes and then I proceed to the heavier exercises such as bag training and focus pads. After spending half an hour on the heavier proportion of the workout, the last 15 minutes are spent on cardio and abdominal excises to improve your endurance, agility, and breathing. These one hour classes are guaranteed to improve your body performance, leaving you with a new technique or skill to enjoy whenever you feel like working out. At Golden Gloves Fitness, your health and body shape is paramount to me. That is why my classes are taught 1-on-1 or in small groups of 2-3 people.
                Other services are available at Golden Gloves Fitness in the Woodbridge area such as Tai-Chi, SAMBO, MMA, and body building. For more information please visit my website at: www.goldenglovesboxing.ca for rates, hours, and location (we are located by Jane and Hwy 7). If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call me about the services offered at this location. I look forward to be hearing from you soon.
