Ultraboxx punches its way into the urban fitness scene

This high-intensity full body workout promises to get your heart pumping while burning calories and increasing strength — all without the typical humdrum that comes with most cardio exercises.

Get into the groove at Ultraboxx

Ultraboxx Boxing Club recently opened its doors at the third floor of Estancia Mall in Pasig City, to the delight of fitness aficionados who want to lose weight, build muscle mass, enhance endurance, improve stability and tone their body through boxing. Instead of the usual one-on-one sparring sessions though, the club offers fun classes wherein entire groups could engage in a high intensity boxing session.

Each session includes a warm up and a run through of basic boxing moves before the actual workout begins and a cool down  afterwards — all in just one 50 minute class. Instructors were also trained by Singaporean medalist and fitness guru Bryan Tay, who has already co-founded other fitness studios.

Arguably more fun than a typical jog and more challenging than say, an hour of Zumba, this boxing workout will help you weave, duck, and punch your way to a healthier and happier you. The floor, which literally feels like a nightclub with its neon lights and hype music, also helps you get into the groove. “An Ultraboxx workout combines high-impact cardio and high-intensity interval training. It’s also a great way to help relieve stress and improve mental focus,” says Jolo Estrada, co-founder of Ultraboxx.
