Personal training

Personal boxing and fitness training for all ages and abilities.

Training at Barnburner

Everyone welcome

Boxing training is for everyone. I work with people of all ages and abilities. I have trained children as young as 8 to adults in their 60s. Whoever you are, I can tailor a programme for you.
Boxing skills

Training is non-contact, but I coach solid boxing technique. You will learn punches, defences, footwork and ring craft. Blending this into boxing drills is fun and addictive.
Boxing fitness

Pads and bag work provide an excellent cardio workout. I can supplement this with functional strength and conditioning relative to your fitness level and goals. This is fitness for longevity, not 6 week before and after pics.
Find out about yourself

Boxing training helps you to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. I call this ‘useful adversity’. I can help you test the boundaries of your comfort zone in a safe environment.
Common-sense coaching

Coaching is a partnership. I am not a screamer or shouter. There is a big difference between motivating and haranguing. I will always put your welfare and longevity first.
Training with a smile

Sometimes it’s easy to forget why we do this. Improvement is the end goal, but having fun and enjoying training is vital to success. I’m a big believer in putting smiles on faces.

You will work for 12 x 3 minute rounds with 1 minute rest in between.
