KOBOX Frequently Asked Questions

KOBOX is no ordinary boxing club. KOBOX is 50-minute high intensity boxing classes for all fitness levels set in state-of-the-art fitness spaces where fight club meets nightclub. When the class starts the lights go down low, the sound system kicks in and the fun begins. 

Every KOBOX class is broken down into two parts. For half of the class, our trainers will take you through our signature 6-punch combinations system, which will be projected on the walls or screens for you to follow. For the other half, they'll have you working up a sweat with a range of functional training exercises, focusing on a different body part each day.

KOBOX mixes boxing technique with high intensity interval training (HIIT) for an incredible workout. Whether you're a seasoned pro or boxing beginner, you can take the class at your own pace in your own space. It's about working hard, sweating lots and punching life in the face, TOGETHER.

If it’s your first time at KOBOX then welcome! Please arrive at least 15 minutes early and attend the class induction. In the induction the trainer will take you through each of the boxing combos and guide you on positioning and technique. They can also assist you with your hand wraps and gloves if you need some help. 

If you are new to KOBOX and not there by the time the induction starts, you cannot attend class.

Yes you can! We want everyone to experience the high of a KOBOX class whatever your experience. You don’t need to have ever boxed before. Our class induction will take you through everything you need to know. And when the class starts the lights go down low and it’s just you and the bag. Everyone is welcome at KOBOX.

Yes. We have many Pregnant KOBOXER's. Speak to your practitioner regarding exercise first before attending and make sure you notify your instructor immediately as you enter class so that they can give you modifications and keep a friendly eye on you. If you've never come to KOBOX before you're still welcomed but as the health advice states try not to take something new on. So if you've not boxed and your body isn't used to the twists, double check with your practitioner first.

It totally depends on your injury and how it may affect your ability to take the class. Always make sure you tell the instructor of your injury before class starts as they will be able to give you modifications. Or you can always drop an email to our studio and our lovely front of house team will pass your question onto an instructor.

You can leave class early but we please ask that you make a quiet and swift exit to reduce disruption to your fellow KOBOXER's in class.

We ask that you put all your belongings into our lockers. If you have jewellery that you don't want to leave in a locker please hand it to your instructor and they can keep it save on the instructor desk but this is at your own risk and we/instructor are not liable for your belongings.

Wearing hand wraps ensures that your hands have maximum protection when boxing. Worn underneath boxing gloves, wraps provide an additional protective barrier to the small and fragile joints and bones within the hands. We cannot allow you to take class without wearing wraps, even if you have your own gloves.

When booking a class you will see a floorplan and need to select a W, B or DB spot before confirming your booking.

If you book a wall spot you'll start on the wall and swap to a bag at points in the class and vice versa. If you choose a DB spot you will box for the duration of the class, and will not take part in the wall section.
