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!

Sports, weight & diet control

Did you know that sports allow you to control your diet, hunger, and weight? But, how? This article will
examine and answer exactly that question. Firstly, when you begin exercising, your body sends signals to your stomach to go into 'sleep' mode to allow you to workout without distraction from hunger. Now, if you have an upset stomach, it might not go away but it will definitely be more controlled due to endorphin and other biological reactions happening in your body while you are training.

The truth is that while and when you workout, you reflect on your body and what works best for it. In other words, you get a better feel of how your body functions and you begin to think up creative ways of nurturing your body. After a workout at our sports gym, our members have reported to go home and eat healthier food to improve their physique. Indeed, having a fit body is inspirational and you want to keep on going in order to keep all of that hard work up. You exercise 4-5 times per week, why not treat your body to a good diet?

Weight control is really important as you don't want to be too skin or too oversized. After exercising at our gym in Vaughan, you will examine yourself each and every morning and will always want to improve your tone, posture, and overall physique. What is better to be lean and toned-down or to be overweight and have extra muscle? Of course the first is better than the latter. If you do experience hardship in improving your overall weight-balance, inquire us anytime about how we can help you.

As a supplement we also offer Ideal Protein (click here for more info) on the 2nd floor of our health & wellness center for those who wish to go further with their weight control and purchase specialty food products that are known to be effective in proper dieting results. At Golden Gloves Fitness, we maintain an open-minded, fun atmosphere that is meant for anybody who wishes to see results in their weight, diet and health. Open from Monday to Friday 7 am to 9 pm and on Sundays, 8 am to 2 pm. We are here for you.

If you have any questions or if you would like to get in touch with us please do not hesitate to contact us today at 416-569-9381 or by visiting the contact page (click here). Located in the heart of the GTA, at Jane & Hwy 7, we are here to fulfill your fitness, health and dieting requests. Please feel free to contact us at any time we are here for you.

Why box and bit fit?

A lot of people ask themselves this: why should I box and be fit? And at Golden Gloves Fitness, we are not surprised that even our gym goers ask themselves this question from time to time. We should go back to the beginning, to the route of the problem, to the time before you started working-out and see how you felt. The truth is, just like any other activity, working-only gets more doable throughout time and consistency. Let's get the dread out of the way first and move on to the more important parts of getting fit. Essentially, you should box and be fit because as humans we are meant to be active and not sit in one place.

We are all born with a wonderful gift: our body. It is priceless and you get to have only one. Take care of it. And boxing is one of the best ways to do so. At our gym, when we mention boxing, we don't necessarily mean sparring. We mean stretching, warming up, cardio, weights, bags, pads, and so much more! So, please come by our sports club, located in Vaughan, to check out why you should be fit at our sports gym. Over here, we maintain a positive & fun atmosphere for you to get into the regime and shape that you were always looking for.

Regime is the keyword here. You should follow a strict workout schedule and you will be fit before you know it. It is easier than you think, you CAN do it. Getting past the regime and making it a routine is a great starter for your road to fitness success. Be patient and box your way to being fit, you will reap the results, guaranteed! Set yourself up for what makes it easier for you to workout. The night before prepare your gym bag and have it nicely prepped for your workout. Have a notebook if a diary will make exercising more enjoyable for you. Do whatever it takes to be fit!
