When you break that first sweat

One of the best methods to change your mind and the way you are feeling is by breaking a sweat. Once you feel warmed up, you already start feeling better. It is better to keep on exercising constantly so that working out feels less like a chore. When you first break that sweat, it lubricates your muscles so that you can continue your workouts in the future. Indeed, boxing & fitness is for everybody and  our gym, located in Vaughan, is meant for anybody who wants to feel and look better.

Once you break that first sweat at Golden Gloves Fitness, you will feel much better and you will want to take on new challenges as you progress. At our gym, we train you how to be quick and at the same

time effective when training. Our head coach, Alex, is here to monitor your performance while you progress in your exercises. We will have your whole body moving each and every class! We train like we are going to compete because we want to see results. Please note, however, we always customize our classes based on your level and requests, you don't have to compete if you want to box!

Warming up, properly stretching and cardio is only the beginning of the workouts at our gym in Vaughan. We then progress to heavier exercises such as: weights, bags, and sparring. Our coach, Alex, will have you do rounds on the focus pads for the first few times you come to the gym before you feel confident enough to spar. At anytime, please do not hesitate to inquire about our fitness programs, we are more than happy to explain to you our training schedule.

It is all about going back to that moment when you first finish your workout; that you haven't had in a long time. That feeling of accomplishment, the feeling of being refreshed, like you are almost new. That is what we are about at our sports gym, we are about changing lives. This is also why we always keep a fun & happy atmosphere for all to enjoy.

We’re being fit at Golden Gloves Fitness

But, how are we being fit? And what does fitness mean to us?

At our gym, we take fitness and boxing very seriously. Our coach Alex always examines your stance and how you punch and corrects you as you go along. Only doing exercises properly will allow you to reap from the benefits. Boxing and fitness literally transforms you to a better physical and mental you. It allows you to reflect on yourself and ask: what can I be doing better? And this is when you ask our coach Alex and he will be more than glad to instruct you what to do next.

Aside from a good posture, we teach you how to be fast with your hands and how to be well-balanced on your feet. A good balance is vital for your boxing success in addition to calculating your space

between you and your opponent or the bag. At Golden Gloves Fitness, the bag is at first your opponent and then we pair you up with a partner to practice movements, techniques and to see how it is like to be sparring with another person.

When you are boxing, you enter the ‘zone’. A state that allows you to forget about everything: bad thoughts, a queasy stomach or even that tired-dragging feeling. Why is that? Well, it is because your body cleanses itself from all that unwanted substances and allows new energy to enter. Isn’t it great? So why don’t you come out and give boxing a try, it is for everyone, for all ages. And, yes, we’re open to anybody who wishes to improve their health and mental wellness.

At Golden Gloves Fitness, we are always looking forward to be seeing and training YOU!
