FAQs
HOW OLD DO I NEED TO BE TO JOIN FORGE BOXING?
Members must be at least 14 years of age.
I’M OUT OF SHAPE AND/OR HAVE NEVER DONE BOXING BEFORE – CAN I TRAIN ANYWAY?
Of course! We provide classes suitable for all fitness levels and skill levels of boxers, from grassroots newbies who have never trained in a gym to elite level. You can find out our class timetable on our Classes page.
I DON’T HAVE ANY BOXING EQUIPMENT – CAN I STILL TRAIN?
Yes. We provide both boxing gloves & glove liners. Helmets, 16oz gloves, and groin guards can be provided should you wish to spar. You are more than welcome to bring your own equipment. However, we will be selling our own branded Forge gloves, so keep an eye on this space!
WHAT LEVEL OF CONTACT CAN I EXPECT TO ENCOUNTER?
Our Boxercise Fitness Classes and Beginners/Technique classes are strictly non-contact. Fighters/Competition Classes involve sparring and a mouth guard is mandatory to attend.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO TRAINING?
For hygiene purposes, you’ll need to bring a towel and drink bottle. There is spray and paper towels provided to wipe down equipment after use. We have chilled water available for all members, and protein shakes are for sale.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Just wear what you feel comfortable exercising in. However, appropriate enclosed, and clean footwear must be worn on the gym floor. T-shirts must be kept on throughout your time in the gym.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS TO COMPETE IN BOXING?
To compete you will need to have a solid foundation of the basics of boxing and (most important of all) display drive, grit, commitment, and determination, as well as be of good character. If you want to compete, express your interest to the trainers, and we will put you on the right path. We can arrange fights in both Amateur & Corporate Boxing. Should you wish to fight in the Amateur ranks, you need to qualify for a New Zealand AIBA Boxing Record Book by passing a doctor’s examination. We sell the Boxing Record Books at the gym.
DO YOU OFFER PERSONAL TRAINING?
Yes. Personal Training can be arranged for one-on-one sessions or small groups. Please contact us for further information.
