Ask any boxer and they would tell you that bruises are part and parcel of training. However, you can minimise discomfort at Box Office Fitness, which utilises aqua training bags.
These bags are filled with water, meaning less chances of bruising yourself as easily as when using traditional sandbags, which tend to be much harder. This is great for beginners who are just getting into boxing and are having trouble adjusting to the impact.
Starting from $38 per class, their signature Knockout class consists of 10 3-minute rounds split between boxing and calisthenics. First-timers will also enjoy the added benefit of a 1-for-1 bonus class when they sign up.
