EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BOXILATES™ AT OUR STUDIO











What is BOXILATES™?


BOXILATES™ is a dynamic fusion of Mat Pilates and Fitness Boxing. It’s an interval style workout that combines the functional benefits of Pilates – longer, leaner muscles and increased joint health – with the high intensity cardio and co ordination of boxing. We don't want to give too much away before you try your first class but we will say this: you will definitely get a little sweaty and will enjoy some stress release punching in this class! 


Who is the instructor leading these classes? 

Chris will be taking the majority of the 
BOXILATES™ classes! Chris started boxing at 18 (10 years ago!) and automatically fell in love with the cardio and high intensity aspect of the sport (and the punching!). Chris continued his boxing training for a number of years, at one stage training for an amateur fight. Chris continues his own boxing training at home and is very excited to be spear heading the BOXILATES™ classes for us! 


Who can participate in this class?


BOXILATES™ is a workout for anyone who is interested in adding some cardio to their Pilates routine! Like we do with our Reformer and Floor classes, BOXILATES™ will be modified for those who are experiencing any discomfort throughout the class. BOXILATES™ can also be modified for pre and post-natal clients, as long as they have been given the all-clear by their doctor. 



Do I need to do an Introductory class if I have boxed before? 

Yes you do! Think of our Introductory class as a nice refresher to both Boxing and Pilates. If you did attend our BOXILATES™ Masterclass, you do not need to attend another Introductory class. However, why not attend a complimentary class during our launch week so that you have the opportunity to further improve your technique and cardiovascular endurance?!


How long does a BOXILATES™ class run for? 

The Introductory class class runs for 75 minutes, as boxing technique and body placement must be explained and practised. Our standard BOXILATES™ class will run for 50 minutes. 


What do I need to bring to a BOXILATES™ class? 


To participate in a BOXILATES™ class, you need comfortable exercise gear, a towel, inners for our gloves (this is explained below) and we recommend you bring a water bottle. If you forget your water bottle, we sell water at the studio. We provide the gloves and pads necessary for the class, however, if you have your own gloves you are welcome to bring them along. Please note that if you bring your own gloves, you still must wear inners when you use the studio pads. Glove & Pad Inners will be available to purchase at the studio. Inners MUST BE WORN to participate in the class for hygiene purposes. Just as socks must be worn in the Reformer classes, inners must be worn in BOXILATES™ classes. Unfortunately No Inners means No Play:( Inners will be sold for $6 a pair or you are welcome to bring your own. Wrist wraps will be sold for $12 a pair. If you have weak, sore  or hypermobile wrists we highly recommend that you do wrap your wrists for extra safety and protection. Don't worry if you don't know how to wrap your wrists, as we will show you how! 


When do BOXILATES™ classes start? 


Our BOXILATES™ launch week runs from October 10th til the 15th!! All existing clients receive a complimentary Floor Trial class to use during this launch week! Please note that all of our BOXILATES™ classes scheduled for this launch week will be Introductory classes. If you have your heart set on trying another one of our Floor classes (Total Barre, Mums & Bubs Barre, Stretch or Matwork) you are welcome to use your complimentary class to trial one of these classes instead. Existing clients, please see an instructor at the front desk, email inquiries@premiumpilatesstudio.com or contact 0402 680 724 to claim your complimentary class! 



How do I book if I am not an existing client to Premium Pilates Studio or if I want to book my second BOXILATES™ class? 

You can book and pay online through our website by clicking HERE or by using our APP. 


What is the price of a BOXILATES™ class? 

For all of you who decide that you love BOXILATES™, this class is categorised as a Floor class and therefore will follow the same cost structure as our other Floor classes. For all of you who pay for our monthly Floor pack, BOXILATES™ is included in this monthly price! 


We can't wait to see what you all think of this brand new class!! BOOK NOW to avoid missing out as classes are filling up for our launch week. Be one of the FIRST in BRISBANE to experience this exclusive fusion of Pilates & Boxing!
