With this training program focusing on overall fitness, strength training, reaction time and balance, workouts can include focus mitts, heavy bags, speed bags, double-ended bags, jump rope, core work, calisthenics and circuit weight training. No boxing experience is necessary and people of all ages are invited to participate.
