Nasha Sarkari

Head coach at PUNCH

Boxing studios can be quite intimidating. How does PUNCH differ? Our concept removes the fear factor from boxing. Instead of gritty boxing studio, we have designed a welcoming, clean space. Each person gets their own boxing bag. You’re not sparring against someone else who could be more advanced. You set your limit on how hard you want to go. What do we need to bring with us to class? Just yourself and all the energy you’ve got! Everything else is provided (boxing gloves, wraps and gym towels). How long does it take to pick up the moves? It depends from one person to another. Some clients pick it up straight away. Each class starts with a review of the punches before getting into workout, which is good for beginners, and a nice refresher for fighters. Are we burning lots of calories? Boxing is known to be one of the top sports for torching hundreds of calories. Our classes are 45 minutes of intense continuous boxing, which, going all out, can make you burn up to 1,000 calories. Does it help to picture someone when you punch the bag? It definitely helps to take it out on the bag and not somebody else!
