Our Boxing Program at Club One Fitness

     Club One Fitness has the most complete boxing program for kids in the state of Maryland while also providing an environment where you feel comfortable leaving your children. (To see the club, check out this Washington Post profile, this HBO video, or watch this video.)

     Why boxing for your child? Team sports help build self confidence and discipline. But boxing and mixed martial arts classes are far more beneficial than team sports in building your child's self esteem, discipline and confidence. No one has ever done a study to explain exactly why this is. Our best guess: kids get lost in the shuffle in team sports whereas boxing is a unique skill that commands respect from a child's peers. Another reality is that kids who are able to defend themselves have more confidence than children that don't. (Karate, while a wonderful art form, does not really lend much in this regard.) Our goal is to build confidence, self- esteem, discipline, that you child can carry with him/her throughout the course of their lives.

     Club One also provides your kids with other opportunities as well. Your child can pick up a basketball, jump on a treadmill, lift some weights, or jump into a group exercise class. At Club One, you have a lot of weapons in your arsenal to get fit and stay fit even if boxing and mixed martial arts are your child's primary focus (it also give parents something to do during lessons).

     Our boxing classes are free with a Club One Fitness membership. (We really think this fact deserves its own paragraph!)

     Kids of all ages skill levels - including beginners - will be comfortable training in our supportive environment. For all of the equipment we have, the best part of our boxing gym is that people of all skill levels feel comfortable. People just starting to box are made to feel very comfortable hitting a bag next to a professional boxer. Not many boxing gyms can make this claim. We can.
