FAQ
Frequently asked questions
It's my first class, what do I need?
First, make sure you have registered for a free trial and let us know of any medical concerns before coming in.
Arrive at least 10 minutes before class is due to start.
We can provide gloves for your free trial period, but then you’ll have to buy your own. We have our own range of quality wraps and gloves available for purchase in the gym.
Bring a drink bottle and sweat towel.
Do I need to be fit to join in? Although our classes are high intensity and high impact, they are for all fitness and skill levels. Our instructors will give you options to make the exercises easier or harder. As your technique improves, so will your ability to push yourself. If you have any medical conditions that may affect your ability to exercise, we ask that you consult with your medical professional before participating in any of our services.
Do I have to have previous experience with boxing? Our classes are designed to cater to all fitness and skill levels, and we mean that! From the absolute novice who has never put boxing gloves on, to the experienced boxer, you are all welcome and will all get benefit from our workouts. If you're new to boxing fitness we recommend trying our 1 on 1 Boxing Basics session to get your confidence up before joining in a full class. We also have a variety of classes that don't involve any boxing at all. So, if punching isn't your thing, we have plenty more to keep you going.
How old do I have to be to join? Our minimum age for classes is 16 years. We have kids classes at our Porirua gym for ages 8 - 12 and will soon be offering teens classes for ages 13 - 16.
Do you have changing rooms and showers? In Wellington, we have access to changing rooms and showers on the ground floor (down 4 flights of stairs) and have two toilets on our level. In Porirua, we have two toilets and one shower. Due to limited space, we recommend coming to class ready to go and showering elsewhere where possible.
Can I store my gear on site? We have cubby holes for storing gear at both gyms while in a class, however space is limited so we ask that you take home your personal belongings after every session.
Can I use the gym outside of class hours? Our gym is class based, so unless you are at a class, or have a personal training appointment, the gym will not be available for further use.
What parking is available? In Wellington, there is paid on-street parking and a Wilson car parking building directly across from us on Victoria Street. If you are training at lunchtime, we recommend giving yourself at least 15mins to find a park as this is the busiest time of the day. In Porirua there is plenty of on-street parking for free. Just make sure you take note of the time limits!
