What is the Boxing Fitness Academy?

In 2015, The Boxing Fitness Academy was created and designed as an extension of Boxing Fitness established brand and trademarked training style. The academy was developed for personal trainers and fitness professionals, boxing coaches and trainers, as well as boxing and fitness enthusiasts. The academy is aimed to not only break down and teach the very basic fundamentals of boxing for the attendees, but to equip the attendees with the tools and knowledge necessary to teach someone else how to box in the fitness capacity, safely and correctly. We will show you how to combine those authentic hands-on boxing techniques in a functional approach to deliver a rare and highly effective formula for boxing and fitness training.

Boxing Fitness Training Philosophy

Boxing Fitness has brought boxing fitness to the forefront of the fitness industry world wide by offering a unique and unparalleled training style and environment. First and foremost, boxing is addictive, rewarding, stress relieving, and most importantly FUN! The BNB formula for fitness training is not only appealing to a wide range of individuals for these reasons, but it’s also highly effective in achieving a variety of fitness and health goals no matter where any one individual may be on their fitness journey. We’ve had tremendous success with individuals from all walks of life including professional fighters and athletes, amateur athletes, adults, kids, troubled adolescents, geriatrics, physically disabled, obese, and mentally ill, just to name a few. Our boxing methods are derived from proven Olympian and professional level boxing principles and techniques. Our functional fitness and strength training regimen is a mixture of movements and exercises that are not only progressive and comprehensive, but systematically complementary to the boxing training. Meshing these methods and ideologies together has truly re-defined the meaning of ‘cross-training’.

The Fundamental Components of the Boxing Fitness Method:

Fun

Above all else, boxing offers a genuinely fun and addictive experience. The endorphin release and high obtained from boxing is unmatched by any other dynamic fitness activity on the market today.
Furthermore, the fun never fades out, unlike most fitness trends, as you’re learning the “sweet science”, and a skill that boosts your confidence like none other. You will undoubtedly and shamelessly find yourself shadow boxing in the shower, at work, and even on the dance floor!

HIIT

High-intensity interval training is a popular fitness trend that has been proven to be one of the most effective training techniques to date. A typical boxing workout at a high-intensity, with regular rest periods, gives an efficient HIIT workout, shredding hundreds, and up to 1000+ calories, in just 45-60 minutes.

EPOC

A consequential effect of the B’NB HIIT style training is something known as EPOC, or excess post-exercise oxygen consumption.
EPOC refers to the additional oxygen consumption needed to restore your body back to homeostasis.
Ultimately, EPOC promotes the burning of more calories even after you’ve finished training, enhancing the results of the training.

Aerobic vs Anaerobic

Traditional exercise such as jogging, swimming, biking, at one intensity, delivers a level of aerobic training and a steady-state of oxygen consumption
Boxing, which generates varying but explosive and intense outputs of energy and force, results in anaerobic training, thus increasing the bodies demand for oxygen, and exponentially boosting the EPOC effect. Therefore, yielding better and faster results than other traditional fitness training.

Versatility

The versatility of boxing training is truly remarkable. What’s special about the “sweet science” is there is always more to learn! Whether you’re a beginner, or a seasoned professional, there are infinite ways to continually progress and challenge yourself both physically and mentally.
Whether its building more technical combinations, pushing the intensity, or extending the rounds to be longer, there are limitless ways to prevent plateauing.
Beyond the boundless challenges and progressions boxing offers, its also versatile in the sense that you can do it anywhere with little to no equipment! Shadow boxing can be done with no equipment and in a small space. Mitts and bag work can be done with minimal equipment and space.

Functionality

Aside from boxing being immensely effective for the shoulders, biceps, triceps and deltoids, boxing is truly a total body workout. There are few, if any, forms of exercise that are as comprehensive as boxing.
You’ll feel the burn through the calves; quads; hamstrings; the entire core from the butt up through the stomach and transverse abdominals; the arms; shoulders and back!
Every BNB session will incorporate various functional training movements which compliment the boxing and target the major muscle groups, particularly the core, for a perfect balance.
Strengthening your full body and core is advantageous to every day functionalities of life both physically and mentally.

Safety

As with any training, safety is IMPERATIVE. When it comes to teaching boxing, you’re generally working with beginners therefore communication and proper instruction and progression is critical.
The BNB method breaks down the mechanics and techniques of boxing in such a way that anyone can understand it and teach it.
By teaching in a way that is easy to understand and follow, we are minimizing the risk of injury, therefore increasing the the likelihood of obtaining fitness goals more quickly and efficiently.
