BOXING BASED FITNESS CLASS FOR WOMEN

Marianne, who is also a Professional Boxer as well as a Personal Trainer and Sports Nutritionist, normally specialises in preparing athletes for competition by creating specific conditioning regimes as well as developing training and pre-competition nutritional programmes designed to increase performance, stamina and endurance.

In 2009 Marianne, who is a firm believer in Women's Fitness and Health, noticed that the only type of boxing fitness programmes being offered to women were of the less effective aerobic ‘Boxercise’ type and not the fat busting, body sculpting mainly anaerobic type so decided it was time to create a series of true Boxing based Fitness Classes specifically for Women

The Boxing Fitness classes, Marianne created, are far removed from the aerobic 'Boxercise' classes offered by most fitness centres and personal trainers. These classes are the real deal and include many of the conditioning exercises and boxing drills she personally uses in her own, and athlete clients, competition preparations. These classes are suitable for all ages and fitness levels.

WOMEN’S BOXING CLASSES

The Women's Boxing Classes, on the other hand, are pure Boxing coaching to both amateur and professional competition level and includes sparring and as such only suitable for intermediate level and the experienced


SATISFIED CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

Here is what one of Marianne’s clients said:

I’ve been going to Marianne’s class now for about 4 months. It took me a bit of persuasion to start. I’d never been in a boxing gym before and I imagined it to be a really intimidating place, especially for women. I thought there’d be a bunch of cliquey people and macho men.

Not a bit of it. The moment I walked in to Rooney’s people talked to me and smiled and encouraged me. There was no attitude, no self-importance and I felt really welcome. It was reassuring for me that there was a women’s class, taught by a woman trainer as it was what I needed to build my confidence.

Marianne was not what I was expecting at all, blonde, beautiful and small but my goodness, one of the toughest instructors I’ve come across. When I first started the classes I would say I was moderately fit. This was a whole new ball game. First it was the hardest exercise I’ve ever done and second, it brought really fast benefits. My stamina, strength and flexibility have come on in leaps and bounds.

My confidence has grown too. At first I had two left feet and couldn’t throw a punch to save my life. Now I feel in control of what I’m doing and I can see with each week that my technique has improved. Marianne’s classes have really inspired me and are great fun and for her, I might even lose the pink boxing gloves!
