From the reviews
Love this place! I have been going to Bancroft Boxing for over two years and it has become my second home. Everyone there is welcoming and fun. It has everything from boxing/kickboxing classes, weight training to personal training. All of the trainers are encouraging and committed to your success.
I'm in my early 50's and belonged to boxing clubs when I was in college and law school. Since then, I've never found a workout/experience that I enjoy more. Recently, I found Bancroft Boxing and decided to get back into the swing of things, as it were. I couldn't be happier with my decision.
As a boxing novice, Jared started training me in the basics and continued to add to my skill set each session. Jared is very knowledgable, an excellent motivator, and is a great coach. I considered myself in good shape prior to working with Jared and he has increased my strength and stamina substantially.
I have been training at Bancroft throughout my Military career. I have referred several of my colleagues as well due to the intense and customized training that is available at Bancroft Boxing.
New to kickboxing? Start at Bancroft Boxing Gym
Bancroft Boxing Gym comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Bancroft Boxing Gym
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
