Happy Birthday and 2nd Anniversary BOXHAUS!  As we are Jab. Cross. And Hooking into year 2 of BOXHAUS we wanted to welcome everyone to our official BOXHAUS Blog!

A LITTLE ABOUT US:

BOXHAUS opened its doors February 2018 to an Orange Country community who was itching for a boutique boxing experience. We strived to create an environment that was not intimidating for the everyday women or men. We wanted to create an environment where you could have never worked out a day in your life or have boxed over 100 times and BOXHAUS was still the place where you could leave your workout feeling empowered, strong and itching to come back to us.

 

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM A BOXHAUS WORKOUT?

Our standard 45-minute BOXHAUS class is a one of a kind boxing experience curated for beginners and the experts.  We specialize in group boxing classes that highlight not only teaching you the boxing basics, but keeps your heart rate up for an exhilarating cardio fitness class. Our trainers start each class by breaking down the six basic punches, followed by a 5 minutes warm-up. From there it is full speed ahead into 7- rounds of boxing filled with colorful lights and your favorite music ranging from Drake to the Paramore. Along with our 45-minutes standard BH workout, we also offer Private Training and RingSide Classes. Both of these are great ways to learn boxing fundamentals on a more personal level with any of our six amazing trainers. During these 1- hour private sessions our trainers will have you throwing the perfect jab and left hook in no time.

 

 WHATS NEXT:

As we are approaching the Spring, we are so excited to announce we are opening our newest BOXHAUS location in Long Beach at the 2nd and PCH Shopping Center! We will be located on the second floor directly above Lululemon. Our doors will be open to the public on Monday, March 2nd so stop by, grab your gloves, and come take a class!

Be on the lookout on our social media and blog for tons of fun announcements to come. We think 2020 is going to be our best year yet!!
