We could talk about it for a long time, but our members do it better than we do.
You’re about to take an important step: it’s normal to have questions.
Here are the ones we get most often.
Is boxing right for me?
I’M NOT VERY ATHLETIC. WILL I FIT IN IN THE CLASSES?
Absolutely. Many of our members weren’t particularly athletic before discovering boxing. They were simply looking for a way to move that suited them better than traditional gyms.
At the Club de Boxe de l’Est, new members are welcomed in a motivating, caring atmosphere.

I WANT TO LEARN BOXING, BUT I DON’T WANT TO FIGHT. IS THAT POSSIBLE?
Yes! The vast majority of our members practice boxing without fighting and with no contact to the head. They come above all to learn technique, move, push themselves and have fun. The recreational stream was created exactly for them.
IS IT TOO LATE TO START BOXING?
Absolutely not. Many of our members discover boxing as adults. Whether you’re 25, 45 or 65, you belong here.
I’M STARTING FROM SCRATCH—WILL I BE ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THE GROUP?
The majority of our members had never touched boxing before their first class. The trainers take the time to support new members and adapt the exercises as needed, so everyone can progress at their own pace.
No one expects you to keep up perfectly the first time.

DO I NEED TO BE IN SHAPE BEFORE SIGNING UP?
No. That’s exactly what the classes are for! Many of our members sign up to get back into training or adopt healthier lifestyle habits. You’ll build your technique and your fitness gradually.
CAN MY TEEN TAKE PART IN THE CLASSES?
Absolutely. The classes are suited to young people aged 13 and up. If it’s their first experience in boxing, the trainers will take the time to support them in building good fundamentals and gaining confidence.
ARE THERE WOMEN IN THE GROUP CLASSES?
Our groups are mixed, made up of men and women aged 13 and up. The proportion of women is growing in recreational boxing, particularly in the physical-conditioning classes for boxing, where women are often in the majority.
What should I expect?
WHAT AWAITS ME AT MY FIRST CLASS?
You’ll be welcomed by a member of our team as soon as you arrive at the Club. After a stop in the locker rooms to put on your sportswear, the front-desk attendant will lend you gloves and wraps (if it’s a trial class) and help you put them on. Your trainer will then take you under their wing and guide you from the start to the end of the class.
Like all our group classes, your first session will include a warm-up, technical and physical exercises, then a cool-down period. You’ll have only one thing to do: follow the group and enjoy the experience!

DO YOU GET HIT DURING THE CLASSES?
No. The recreational classes don’t include any fighting. Some exercises are done in pairs to practise techniques, but they’re always carried out in a context of learning and mutual support, under the trainers’ supervision. The most advanced recreational members work in pairs without ever hitting to the head; light contact is limited to the body only (no contact to the head is allowed).
DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO WORK IN PAIRS?
No. Some exercises are done in pairs, but several are done individually. And if an exercise requires a partner, don’t worry: pairs form naturally on the spot. Many members actually come to train on their own.
WHAT IF I’M NOT ABLE TO DO CERTAIN EXERCISES?
Everyone starts somewhere. If an exercise feels harder, your trainer will take the time to guide you and suggest adjustments as needed. No one expects you to master everything from the first class. It’s consistency that will let you progress over time.
WILL I BE WALKING INTO A GROUP WHERE EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS EACH OTHER?
Absolutely not. Beginner members join the classes regularly. It’s completely normal to arrive without knowing anyone. New members quickly find their place in the group.
How does it work?
CAN I TRY A CLASS BEFORE COMMITTING?
Absolutely, and we encourage you to do so! A trial class is the best way to discover the Club’s atmosphere, meet our trainers and see if our classes are right for you.

DO I HAVE TO BUY EQUIPMENT BEFORE STARTING?
No. If you come for a free trial, we’ll lend you all the necessary equipment. You only need to bring clean indoor sports shoes, a padlock, a towel, a water bottle and light sportswear.
If you decide to continue, you’ll need boxing gloves and wraps to get the most out of the classes. Good news: there’s quality equipment for every budget available on site. Our team can advise you to choose what best suits your needs, without making you spend unnecessarily.

I DON’T KNOW WHICH PACKAGE TO CHOOSE. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?
With great pleasure! Write to us or call us and we’ll take the time to help you choose the package that best fits your needs.
CAN I CHANGE PACKAGES DURING MY MEMBERSHIP?
Yes. You can start with a shorter membership and take the time to see if the option suits you. If you decide to extend your membership, you’ll only pay the difference to benefit from the most advantageous rate.
