Below are the frequently asked questions in relation to the lower back course.
Boxercise is simply a modified version of boxing. Everything in the class is controlled, and you won't be fighting anyone in a ring. Instead, you will be working in pair with one person on the gloves and one on the pads. The punching techniques are slightly modified to ensure better safety, control and more importantly enjoyment. As part of the classes there will be elements of body weight exercises.
Classes are designed moderate to high intensity, however, there is no expectations from the instructors to "go all out". The instructors are aware at times there will be mixed ability in terms of fitness levels, age, and experience of participants and every effort is made to ensure that participants are challenged at the right level for enjoyment and fitness benefits.
Classes can be modified due to pre-existing injuries / conditions for the most part. For example, if someone has challenges with jump squats, it can be modified to just squats or an alternative exercise. In such instances it would be good to discuss this with the instructor before the class or on the health history questionnaire.
At present all classes are Pay As You Go. You would need to go through the booking system for each class and book and pay at the same time.
If you have gloves and pads, that is great. However, the instructor will provide these for all participants. In addition, it would be advisable to bring a bottle of water and a towel due to the nature of the class structure.
There are no specific female only classes. That said, the vast majority of participants are female over the course of all the classes. Where it is possible, any male participants are partnered together regardless of fitness levels. In some instances partners (i.e. boyfriend & girlfriend) may come together, and choose to work together throughout the class time, making it even less likely you will ever be partnered with a male participant.
There is a 48 hour notification for any cancellations / rescheduling. In practice this means that if a class is on a Wednesday at 19.40, you would need to cancel prior to 19.40 on the Monday. If the cancellation point has been met, options moving forward are a) a refund on the class or b) a rescedule to another date so long as there are spaces available. The latter requiring the instructor to manually change it. If you cancel or need to re-arrange with less than 48 hours notice, the instructor is well within their rights to say that no refund / reschedule is available.
This will be down to the individual instructor. Some classes are very popular and have a waiting list and thus fairness needs to be considered to those on the waiting list. In the first instance, speak to the instructor in advance and see what is possible. Please note the person you transfer the booking to may get charged the price of entry,
Classes can be booked on the booking link up to 30 minutes before the class. You may well be able to get on to a class if you message the instructor directly. If you are someone has a variable work pattern as an example, then this might be a better option to do, but some classes are really popular and are fully booked 2 weeks in advance.
