do you box?

I was wondering if anyone goes to a boxing club or takes group boxing or something of the sort! I found this cool gym and weighing my options. 

I box at an amateur boxing club :-)

Good fun? good results? worth the money?

I used to take kick boxing, it was tonnes of fun but really hard!

I used to do boxing with a persona trainer, and I LOVED it.  Very invigorating not to mention empowering, and burns tons of calories!  - Among the BEST type of workouts I've ever had.  I felt like I was getting out any pent-up angry emotions.  I also liked the challenge of it, since it's like game where you have to respond quickly and personally fight back, and it was a really tough workout.  It's also great self-defense. 

I think a boxing class would be fun.  I punch my bag in the garage.  :)  I also take taekwondo but that's not boxing!!!

I do. I taught kick boxing for 4 years [with gloves and bag..some classes don't use those] and have a bag at home that comes in handy when I want to punch my boyfriend after he says something stupid.

The bag gets hit daily. ;)

Boxing's an excellent way to get in shape.

A boxing club will teach you to actually box correctly with technique, so you'll be getting the benefits of self defence too.  It's cheaper than having a PT and you'll have an experienced ex boxer teaching you.

The vast majority of health club or gym personal trainers won't focus on technique but you'll still get an excellent workout, but it will cost you more probably.

If you decide to take it up, it'll be good if you have a PT who can show you some technique.  You'll be surprised how much harder it is to throw punches correctly rather than just throw your arms at a bag.

Definitly give it a try, you will certainly get fitter and lose weight if your diets good.  I've seen members at my club drop a lot of weight by training just twice a week!

Good luck :-)

so here is what I have concluded..... I love boxing! I went for 2 classes yesterday. I said if I could go 2 hours, I'd join. That was until I found out they only do yearly memberships and they take out +100$ from your account to pay each month. That doesn't exactly work for me. A) way to much money B) I'm only here for the summer, then gone for four months. 

Im going to finish up my free week at the ring and enjoy it. Then buy a boxing dvd. I hope my gym at school puts the punching bags back up.
