Story

What's up guys, my name is Kevin Bowen and I am the founder of Blacksburg Boxing and Fitness! Here at Blacksburg Boxing, we believe EVERY-BODY is worth fighting for. We are a fitness gym looking to help others improve their fitness, health and wellness. We are also a USA Boxing Certified and registered gym, so for those folks thinking that may be crazy enough to want to try and spar and compete, we do offer that at the gym too and have plenty of coaches and trainers who can help you take your boxing game to the next level! That being said, I'd say roughly 95% of our members have no intention of ever actually hopping in the ring to fight, so don't worry if you want to come in for a visit, you WON'T get hit and have nothing to worry about!

Whether you are a college-student looking to keep that freshmen 15 away, a working professional in need of a way to punch out the stress of a long work day, a member of the Armed Services looking to stay in tip-top shape, Blacksburg Boxing and Fitness is here to help. All fitness and experience levels are welcome! Give us a call, shoot us an email, or message us today so we can help you with your fitness goals in a fun, stress relieving, and safe way!

So, why Boxing?:
Boxing is one of the best full-body workouts you can possibly do, because it requires great speed, endurance, and strength throughout your upper-body, lower-body, core, and cardiovascular system. Unlike a lot of other training methods, boxing is extremely functional for building up explosive power and stamina. That being said, ladies you don't have to worry about bulking up because the high intensity intervals of your traditional boxing round can burn up to 1000 calories in a single hour! Boxing is also a really fun skill to learn, because unlike traditional workouts, you are constantly working on something new, or perfecting a certain punch. It truly is a great way to de-stress as well, and its a heck of a lot cheaper then therapy. Boxing is also a great form of self-defense too! There are so many reasons you should give boxing a try!
