Women from the basic boxing class

Are women welcomed in the gym?

Since day one women have been welcomed at RSU as both club members, competitors and coaches

What is a basic boxing class like?

Please read main boxing curriculm.

Can I do all the boxing workouts without having to spar or fight in the ring?

Certainly. You can get all the benefits of the excellent cardio workout that boxing prep gives you without having to ever step inside the ring. The basic classes are all floor-based, and you can, if and when you are ready, take small steps towards basic jab-sparring. But there is no pressure. We want you to have a lot of fun and get fit at your own pace.

Do you offer one-on-one training?

Absolutely. Deonne, Ryan and Joel all offer private lessons. Depending on your fitness level some may need to work with a trainer prior to joining class others may want to increase their fitness level and fine tune their skills. Whatever your goals we have a professional staff ready to help you.

My boxing gloves pick up a lot of sweat. What is the best way to keep them clean and decent-smelling?

Basic, regular talcum powder / corn starch put inside the gloves help a lot, especially right after a workout. Placing the stub of a used bathroom or kitchen roll tissue inside the glove right after use to keep them open allows air to circulate in them. It is also recommended to take your used workout gear, including your gloves, out of your gym bag as soon you can. This will prolong the life of your gear and make for a sweeter-smelling gym bag! So, even if you have to store your used workout gear in your car all day, consider taking at least the gloves out of your gym bag and letting them air out on the back seat of your car. It all helps.
