How Do I Start Training At Wolfpack Boxing Club?
How do I start?
If you have never trained in boxing before, then you are required to take two Intro classes. Intro courses are held on Mondays at 6:30pm and Saturdays at 1pm. These classes teach you the basic fundamentals of boxing to help you prepare for class. Please call the gym at 412-335-2419 or email us to pre register for this session. This session is limited to very small groups.
The Intro class is designed to show you the basics of amateur boxing beginning with your fighting stance, footwork, jab and cross as well as some basic defense. The Intro Classes can be scheduled ahead of time with one of our coaches. The forms to start are located below. Please print and complete each form - then bring with you to your first session. There is $50 charge for the two sessions.
Do I need any special equipment?
No, wear whatever you are comfortable working out in. Equipment will be explained after the Intro classes.
What happens after the Intro Class?
Depending on how many classes you sign up for, you can attend any of the classes (for your level) that we offer on the schedule. You do not have to pre register for classes, you can just show up. Please refer to our membership page for the current class descriptions.
"Basics" class is held Tuesday, Thursday and Friday at 6:30pm and Saturdays at noon.
Intermediate level classes are Tuesday, Thursday and Friday at 5:30pm and Saturdays at 11am. "Instructor's Choice" class is Wednesday at 6:30pm and is for everyone. Each class is one hour. View our class schedule.
What do classes consist of?
Our classes are structured and will teach you all the aspects of boxing and also incorporate conditioning. Typically, classes consist of drills, bag work, circuits and other forms of conditioning. These are not an aerobics classes, we're here to teach you how to box and get you into boxing shape.
I do not want to compete; can I still come in and train?
YES! The program was designed for just that reason. Wolfpack has also found some of our best amateur boxers in our classes, so you never know.
What about membership?
Again, check our membership page. Look at it as the more you buy, the cheaper it is per class. We accept MasterCard, Visa, Discover, American Express, checks and cash.
Things to Remember:
-Walking into ANY fitness club or gym can be intimidating. We have no "tough guys" at our gym. Our club is a friendly atmosphere and most likely you'll see parents waiting for their kids, coaches greeting you and good people working out!
-The trainers will train you as though you are getting ready to compete, so pace yourself!
-The success of boxing is in the repetition and conditioning. As with any successful sport/exercise program, the individual is encouraged to start slow and build at their own pace.
- Please be on time for class!
