FAQ

  • what's a boom class like?

    fun af. 12 Rounds. Two Fists. Zero Experience Necessary. We start with a group warm up and a shadow boxing session.

    Then you’ll spend half of the class pounding our special tear-drop style, water-filled bags and half of the class at your station doing strength and body-weight conditioning exercises. The music is jamming, the lights are sexy, and the vibe is 100% supportive.

  • what's a pow class like?

    hard, but oh so satisfying. this 55 minute fight is decidedly focused more exclusively on boxing, by incorporating one-on-one mittwork in a small group setting. t

    here’s nothing like the crack of the glove on the mitt, and nothing like the sheer intoxicating exhaustion of finishing out a round throwing hands in the ring with the best of em.
