Is Boxing in Geelong Good for Beginners?

Yes. Most of our boxing community at Carbon are beginners. Classes are structured so you can walk in on day one, learn the basics on pads and bags, and leave feeling like you’ve trained without ever needing to spar or get hit. Coaches walk new members through stance, footwork and the first few combinations before you ever throw a punch in anger.

The first class is always the hardest. After that, most people are hooked.

What Boxing Classes Does Carbon Gym Run?

Carbon Gym runs general boxing classes, beginner-friendly sessions, women’s boxing, kids martial arts for ages 5 and up, and personal training for amateur and pro fighters. Check the Carbon Gym timetable for current class times.

We also run school holiday programs and have a dedicated team of coaches across boxing, Muay Thai, BJJ and MMA so you can cross-train across striking and grappling under one membership.

What Are the Benefits of Boxing?

Boxing is a full-body workout that burns 500 to 800 calories per class, builds cardiovascular fitness, sharpens reflexes and improves coordination. It works your upper body, core and legs in every round, and the technique focus keeps your brain switched on so the hour flies. Just as importantly, it’s a powerful stress release. There’s a reason members talk about walking out lighter than they walked in.

Boxing also pairs perfectly with other training. Many members combine it with strength and conditioning or recovery sessions on the same membership.

Meet the Coaches

Our boxing coaching team includes experienced amateur and professional boxers who care more about your progress than their own ego. Coach Paislee Byrne leads many of our beginner and women’s classes and built her coaching career around making boxing welcoming to everyone. Coach Rob Stoiljkovic, our strength and fitness coach and a heavyweight boxing silver medallist, works with members chasing fitness goals through boxing.

What Should I Bring to My First Class?

Just workout clothes, a water bottle and a hair tie if needed. Carbon has loaner gloves and wraps for new members, so you don’t need to buy anything to try a class.
