Group Workout Sessions and Classes

Come and join Rooney's group workout classes. The class takes the best aspects of workouts used by some of the world's most finely conditioned athletes: boxers. It combines them into a program that is safe for the mainstream exercise devotee. With our boxing classes, you train like a boxer in everything but full contact sparring. (Although this can be arranged if additional training is taken up outside of the class).

Rooney's boxing classes are challenging. They work most of the human body's physiological systems. The musculoskeletal system becomes stronger, the cardiorespiratory and vascular systems become more efficient and the central nervous system is trained to respond faster and more efficiently.

Intensity is the trademark of our boxing classes. They are more than 60% anaerobic. Many of the drills are made up of three minute rounds, with one minute recovery periods.

You push through your current lactate threshold and improve it during the round, or anaerobic interval, by working at 85-90% of your maximum heart rate. During the one minute rest period, you learn to more efficiently recover your oxygen debt while simultaneously stretching and reviewing proper technique.

Strength gain is a natural product of a boxing workout. The boxing classes focus on improving speed, strength, explosiveness and lactate threshold management while simultaneously keeping body fat at minimal levels.

Remaining injury free while improving total body fitness is one of the major benefits of a boxing program. It provides a break in routine for other athletes and adds variety to your overall training program. It distributes the load of training across various body parts, while still getting an intense training session.
