Get ready to elevate your fitness game with our exciting Boxercise classes at Village Gym Reading. These dynamic workouts are designed to boost your strength, stamina, and coordination while having a blast in a group setting.
In each class, you'll engage in non-contact boxing moves mixed with cardio circuits, pad work, and bodyweight exercises. This combination helps you build endurance, burn calories, and tone your entire body.
No prior experience is necessary—Boxercise is perfect for everyone, focusing on technique, rhythm, and energetic movement instead of sparring.
Our Boxercise classes are crafted by fitness experts to help you tone up, improve your cardio fitness, and relieve stress in a fun and empowering environment.
Each energetic session is led by skilled trainers who combine boxing basics with cardio exercises and functional strength circuits—ideal for HIIT enthusiasts, those looking to shed a few kilos, or anyone wanting to enhance their coordination.
Whether you're just starting out or a regular at the gym, our Boxercise classes are open to all fitness levels and ages.
Boxercise is an excellent way to learn the fundamentals of boxing, and the best part is that it’s entirely non-contact. We concentrate on hitting pads rather than each other, even if a partner is holding them!
Our sessions feature exercises inspired by professional boxers that help you burn calories, tone your muscles, and get your heart pumping.
But it’s not just about throwing punches—be prepared to incorporate skipping, kicking punch bags, doing push-ups, shuttle runs, sit-ups, and shadow boxing to keep the workouts fun and challenging.
Wave goodbye to stubborn fat! If you're on a weight loss journey, gearing up for a Boxercise session is an excellent way to burn calories and shape your body.
This energetic cardio workout revs up your metabolism, tones your muscles, and helps shed fat—all in one dynamic class. Prepare for a full-body workout that keeps your calorie burn going even after you've wrapped up.
You can burn up to 350 calories in just 30 minutes!

As we age, our bodies start to experience those tell-tale aches and pains.
Strengthening key muscles will help to relieve the pains that come with age, including back pain, neck pain, arthritis, osteoporosis and stiff joints.
Our Boxercise classes focus on strengthening the core muscles, for better balance and coordination.
Improving your ability to maintain your centre of gravity is great for improving posture, helping you to walk more comfortably and reducing the risk of falls. The aerobic aspect of our Boxercise class will also help to maintain great heart health.
"I've been doing Boxercise classes at Village Health & Wellness Club for the past six months. I've lost almost a stone in weight and have noticed an improvement in my body shape. My arms are more toned, my abs are stronger and I have loads more energy."
Tom | Member at Village Health & Wellness Club
All that ducking, diving and maintaining your balance will help to tone your core. As your abs get stronger, this takes pressure off the spine, helping to relieve back pain and ailments such as sciatica.
A stronger core will also improve your posture, ensuring you stand taller, walk easier and further reduce back pain.
If you're hitting the Boxercise studio at Village Health & Wellness Club Reading, we recommend you bring...
A sweat towel (because you'll certainly sweat)
A bottle of water to stay hydrated
Comfortable trainers with good grips
Form-fitting gym wear that allows you to move freely
A light snack to refuel after your Boxercise session
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned Boxercise fan, if you're joining a Boxercise class in Reading, we've outlined a few tips to maximise your workout...
Start slow. If you're new to our Boxercise class, don't burn yourself out within the first 10 minutes! Go at our own pace whilst you get to grips with the techniques.
If you punch lighter, you'll be able to complete more rounds. Put extra power into your punches or increase rounds to add more challenge to your workout.
Watch others, to help you perfect your punch and hone your technique.
Let your instructor know if you have any health issues or injuries so that we can adapt exercises for your comfort.
Our Boxercise class is a great way to relieve tension and the stresses of your day.
Though there is no physical contact, you'll learn to control your body and channel your energy through precise moves, releasing aggression without hurting anyone!
Tough day at the office? Stressful family life? Let's relieve some tension and get your fitness kicks too!
If you love a game of tennis, sprinting around the squash court or a round of golf, you'll know that great hand-eye coordination is essential.
By regularly attending our Boxercise class in Reading, you'll improve hand-eye coordination and become more accurate with your serve, return and swing!
Boxercise is a great way to improve your motor skills, reaction times and agility, making it ideal for fans of racket sports.
