Real boxing mechanics, coached on the bag, inside a workout that scales to whoever is in the room. Most people who walk in have never put on gloves.
Boxing is the backbone of Faithful Fitness. Coach Bernie Cevis opened the gym in Elkton in 2019, and the boxing classes are the reason people drive past other gyms in Cecil County to train here. You learn to throw a punch properly, move your feet and defend yourself, while the rounds and the conditioning do the work on your heart rate and your body. Beginners and experienced athletes train side by side, and the coach picks the version of every drill that fits you.
The signature class and the front door for most people. Gloves on, rounds on the bags, mixed with conditioning that builds real boxing skill while it burns. All levels welcome. $25 drop-in, or a 10-pack for $250, no membership needed.
Boxing with the volume turned up: heavier hands, faster feet and explosive power, round after round. Included with the Platinum membership along with every other large group class.
Discipline, confidence and fundamentals for the next generation of Bravehearts, coached with the same heart as the adults. Ask at the front desk for the current youth times.
Hands wrapped, shoulders and hips opened up. Tell the coach about any injury here and the class is adjusted around it before round one.
Footwork, combinations and defence in timed rounds. The technique is coached and corrected as you go, not shouted from across the room.
The strength and conditioning block that turns a boxing class into a full workout. It scales down for a beginner and up for an athlete.
Some goals need a coach holding the pads, watching every rep. Private boxing sessions are built entirely around your level, your body and what you want out of it, whether that is your first jab, getting back in shape, or preparing for something specific.
