How Box it Out came to be…

Hi I’m Deanna, owner of Box It Out.

I joined Box it Out back in 2012, and I loved it! The sessions were fast paced, challenging and ever changing. I fell in love with boxing, the feeling the classes gave me and my new found confidence.

During my time training with Box it Out, I lost two dress sizes and became so involved with boxing, working out in the gym and all things fitness that I became a qualified personal trainer & group instructor. I learnt how to feel confident about who I am, what my body can do and how great movement can be.

I was invited to take my first Box it Out class in 2014, and boy, was I nervous. I thought my first session was horrible – I felt like I wasn’t doing enough and I’m pretty sure that I talked for the whole hour.

Turns out, I got lots of positive feedback. The people I previously trained with, actually enjoyed it!

So I continued taking more and more classes and ended up taking over the business in 2015. I was absolutely petrified, but I made that jump and I can proudly say that we have some of the best group fitness classes in Adelaide. Yep big statement, I know.

I know our classes are different because we don’t focus on body shape, size or weight loss at our classes, but instead on strength and confidence. Every single person deserves to feel strong and confident, and changes to weight and body shape flow from this.

Shape, size & weight do not always determine how fit you are. Fitness is a feeling, it’s a habit and it cannot be determined by a number. Strength & confidence trump all.

If you are looking for a challenge, then give Box it Out a try! It won’t be easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is.

Box it Out is no baby step, but with the right introduction and commitment, it could become your new fitness lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there an age limit?

Our group classes are for people aged 18 and over.

How much does it cost?

That’s up to you – the more often you attend, the cheaper the classes are! View pricing here.

Where are the classes held?

Classes are held in Prospect, and are held outdoors during summer, and move indoors over winter. You can find the current location here.

How long am I locked into the direct debit?

As long as you’d like to be. All members are on direct debits, and anytime they want to make changes or cancel their direct debit, they simply email us. Box it Out is a small Adelaide business – no lock in contracts, joining fees, exit fees or other silly things people like to charge for.

Do I need any boxing experience?

Not at all. All the trainers have martial arts experience and are there to teach you correct technique for punches, knees, elbows, kicks and all combinations in between. All new members complete two technique sessions prior to joining the group classes, so you'll feed confident when coming along to your first group class. Find out more here.

I haven’t done any exercise in a while, how will I go at the session?

A Box It Out class combines boxing techniques with vigorous exercise. You will feel some muscle soreness as you become used to moving your body differently, but don’t let this put you off! Box It Out sessions provide options for exercises and can be modified to your fitness level.

So who are the classes for?

Box it Out classes are for people who are ready to focus on their fitness, strength and confidence, not gimmicky weight loss techniques.

How do I track my progress?

Every month we run fitness testing classes, and we also offer progress photos and measurements for extra accountability and motivation. However, you will know within yourself when you feel great, and a number on the scale or a number on a the tape measure should not change that.

What can I expect a class to be like? Will we punch and run for the hour?

You’ll never know, because classes are always different. It all depends on which trainer is taking the class and what they have in store for you.

How many people are in a class?

Classes can have up to 20 members in them.

Do I need to have my own gloves?

No. Trainers bring all equipment to the sessions. All you need to bring a pair of wraps, some water, a towel, and a positive attitude. If you have your own gloves, you are more than welcome to bring them along. For outdoor sessions, it is also a good idea to wear sunscreen.

What are wraps and where do I get them from?

Wraps are similar to fingerless gloves that also protect your knuckles and offer support for your wrists. You can purchase wraps from sports stores like Rebel Sport, but we sell wraps at our classes for $15 if you need some.

Can I bring a friend/partner?

Of course! As soon as they've completed their technique sessions, they will be joining you in the group classes. However, don’t be put off by coming along on your own – many of our clients started out by attending on their own, and have quickly made friends along the way.
