I know its been a while since my last post and I apologize. Anyone who knows me would tell you I dont spend much time in front of a computer. My time away from the gym is usually at some remote lake or in the mountains hiking with my dogs.
I am posting this mid July and letting people know that our schedule is up to date and will be running classes as posted. The best way to get a hold of me is 250-898-7444 (text is best) or fb messenger under Jonny Mac or Comox Valley Boxing Club page. ClassesDo to this little guy we have been ordered by the health authority to shut down all classes indefinetly at CVBC. We will be holding them on isle 3 at costco. lol just joking. For now we will only be running private lessons until we are given the go ahead by the government. You can find our rates on the home screen or email us. Im pretty happy with all the classes we added so far. With Simao picking up 4 new spots we will be running Strength and conditioning classes from Monday to Thursday at 6pm.
Kickboxing Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7pm. KICKBOXING 5 NIGHTS A WEEK!!!! Our morning fitness classes are running from 9am Monday to Thursday We are open Saturday mornings at 9:30am for Boxfit and Sunday moring sparring at 9:30am Check ur complete schedule in the tab bar or drop by the club. I hope to see you soon I am currently working on the fall schedule that starts back up in September.
Beginners fitness, Obese to Beast and Bro-ga are just a few. We will have our bread and butter classes that will run at heir rugular times as well. Kids class, Boxing , kickboxing and Strength and conditioning will remain. I would like to hear from you and any ideas that you have that you see could work in our space. Drop me a line at cvboxingclub@gmail.com or message Jonny Mac on facebook. One of the most asked questions people ask me is "what type of glove should I buy?" I understand why this is asked often. So many shapes, sizes, weights, colours , prices and design. It can be very confusing and you might just settle for something that is flashy and pretty. Choosing the right glove is very important. Not only can it decrease the chance of getting hurt but you want something that is comfortable and will not fall apart. The truth is that the longer you spend in the sport of boxing the more money you will be willing to sink into boxing gear. You will have a collection of gloves in your bag for training. Dont run out and buy $200 dollar gloves but you dont buy the $25 dollar pair at Walmart either. When buying a pair of gloves you will have to look for not only a good price but also something with durability, knuckle protection, wrist support, comfort, fit and size. Most gyms will have you working the bag or focus mitts to start to get your body into fight shape. You will want a 12oz bag glove or heavier 16oz glove if you want to develope stronger shoulders and get a better workout. Something tough that can take the constant contact from the bag. If you plan on sparring, you shouldn't be using your beat up bag gloves and should get a good pair of (partner friendly) sparring gloves. At our club we all have to work in the morning so we spar with 16oz. Here are some of my favorite gloves I like in no specific order. Twins, Rival, Top King, Cleto Reeves and Boon for beginner training. They are all around the $100 to 175 price range. They will last and are very supportive around the wrist and knuckles. I always insist on trying on gloves before buying them. Here in the Comox Valley we have Fitness etc. They carry a large selection of gloves and their staff has a lot of knowledge of the brands they carry. Remember this....the glove does not make the fighter, but having the right gloves can help. Hi everyone. It's been almost a year since I posted anything here on the website. Sorry ...I'm not too savy when it comes to computer stuff but I promise to try to learn. Our schedule is up to date and will be running classes throughout the summer. Its a great time to get started if you are a beginner classes are smaller in the summer months and you get a more time with the coaches. I am going to keep it short today but please stay tuned because plan on writing more often. Our Boxing vs Parkinson's program started last November under the guidance of myself, the staff and members of the Comox Valley Boxing Club. When I became aware of the interest some people in the community with Parkinson's had in trying boxing I invited the group to the club along with fitness instructor Jill Nelson (who had contacted me about the group) They fell in love with it and the classes began and continue every friday from 2:30 until 3:30pm
This high intensity class combines exercises largely adapted from boxing routines which focus on optimal agility, speed, muscular endurance, accuracy, hand-eye coordination, footwork and overall strength to defend against and overcome opponents. In this case the opponent is Parkinson's The class includes footwork drills, slip lines, double end bags, heavy bags, speed/timing bags and partner drills. Boxing gloves are not essential but desired for comfort and safety. As one woman said in class once " As soon as I put on those gloves and hit the bag, i felt a sense of power." She also said that when her Parkinson's symptoms began, she felt like a stranger had taken over her body. Now she feels like she has some control. Studies show that by working on these skills, participants have the potential to slow down the progression of their disease and improve their quality of life. If you or someone you know with Parkinson's are interested in trying a class, please just show up before 2:30. Bring a pair of clean indoor shoes , drinking water and there is a nominal $5 fee. FMI contact myself at 250-898-7444 or Parkinson's Support group member Anne at 250-897-1657 9am fusion workoutJoin us this week for a special treat.
