THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF?
You need a way to combat stress and anxiety.
You want a workout that will burn a ton of calories and help you lose weight.
You’re worried about losing flexibility and strength as you age.
EVER FEEL IN A RUT FROM THE SAME OLD WORKOUTS AT THE GYM?
There are plenty of workouts you could try, but it can be difficult choosing the one that’s going to give you the greatest health benefits and best results. If you want to lose weight, you’ll also want to choose a workout that will help you burn a large number of calories and tone your muscles at the same time.
The workout you choose should do everything you want it to do – from toning your muscles to improving your cardiovascular health and reducing stress.
YOU WILL GROW WITH EVERY CLASS!
Boxing combines the discipline and focus of martial arts with an intense, body-toning workout that can help you lose weight, improve your cardiovascular health, and minimize your stress and anxiety.
GET THE RESULTS YOU WANT FROM YOUR WORKOUTS
We all have times when we fall into a workout rut. We go to the gym, but we aren’t getting the same results we used to see.
One problem may be that you’re doing a workout that doesn’t challenge your entire body. Boxing workouts require students to use every major muscle group – and that means it delivers a great workout every time.
In addition to providing an intense workout, Boxing builds muscles and tones your entire body. It’s the workout you’ve been looking for.
BOXING BURNS CALORIES AND FAT
The secret to losing weight is finding a way to burn more calories each day than you take in. For most people, that means getting regular exercise to burn some of what they eat.
A single Boxing workout can burn as much as a thousand calories. That means that your body will easily burn more calories than you take in, leading to a net loss of weight.
And, Boxing increases muscle mass. Since muscle burns more calories than fat does, regular Boxing workouts can boost your metabolism, making it easy to lose weight.
MAINTAIN FLEXIBILITY AND STRENGTH AS YOU AGE
As people age, they tend to lose flexibility in their joints and may find that they lose strength as well. Experiencing a physical decline can limit your ability to do the things you love.
People who practice Boxing reinforce their body’s strength and flexibility with each workout. By emphasizing core strength and overall fitness, Boxing can help you combat the aging process.
Just as importantly, Boxing is a low impact workout that uses your body’s weight to tone your muscles. People of all fitness levels and ages can benefit from Boxing.
BOXING BANISHES STRESS AND ANXIETY
Stress is a part of modern life. It can have a negative impact on your physical, emotional, and mental health if you don’t find ways to minimize it.
Working out regularly releases feel-good hormones called endorphins. Boxing workouts will help you maintain the proper hormonal balance so you can cope with stress as it arises.
At the same time, Boxing can also make you feel better about yourself and your body, which contributes to good mental health and makes it less likely that stress will affect you.

Joining this gym was like joining a family. Very welcoming! Professors and coaches are true professional. Can't wait to continue my journey with this team.

I’ve dropped in a few places and the first half an hour of class is always awkward. You don’t know anyone, you don’t know where the lockers are etc. This is the most welcoming place you can find. There are just good guys there. They shake your hand, they like and want to help to white belts- great place to spend your time, can't wait to come back.

Absolutely the best martial arts school i have ever had a privelage to visit. Excellent family atmosphere, top of the line instructors and an amazing student base. Everyone was extremely helpful and took time to explain how the techniques worked. I highly recommend this school no mat bullies no spazes just a nurturing environment to bring out the absolute best in oneself. I cannot stress enough the amount of time and care the professors take with their students. For anyone thinking about training there really is no better academy in western New York.

They take the gentle art seriously, they are each very dedicated to learning and improving their skills, and teaching the most cutting edge techniques to their students. These guys are patient, articulate, professional and encouraging as coaches - they want to help people to be their best on and off the mats. Check them out!
