70% Fun - 30% Fitness

The Summer FUN 4 Girlz Programme is about having fun! Its a mix of real boxing exercises and drills that young girls find heaps of fun. Girls have the opportunity to try equipment such as the Speed Ball, Top and Bottom Ball, in a fun and girl friendly session. Each day of the 5 day programme the grils also learn another part of the Roger Mayweather Pad Drill routine. Which is a real hit with girls due its dance and choreographed nature.

Fitz Boxing Working With Teens

Fitz Boxing are very active in the younger community. Sessions and classes have been periodically run in conjunction with a number of local schools, with tremendous results and feedback.

We would highly recommend Fitz Boxing for any future programme instruction.
