Online boxing training launched
FitPro has joined up with boxing world champion David Haye and trainer Adam Booth to offer a teaching programme accredited by the British Boxing Board of Control.
The three-phase Outbox programme has been developed specifically for trainers and instructors working in the leisure and fitness industry. The first phase is delivered entirely online. Level one covers the fundamentals of boxing and is aimed at existing personal trainers and instructors to ensure boxing techniques are used correctly. The course is delivered through video and staged progression, followed by an online exam to test understanding.
Level two and three will be delivered face-to-face, launching in Autumn and winter respectively, and are only available for people who have completed Level one. These two levels focus on developing advanced choreography using defence, more footwork and head movements. When completed, trainers will be fully accredited and able to deliver boxing sessions to clients. Like all FitPro courses, Outbox qualifies successful participants for REPs points.
Haye said: "The skills I demonstrate in Outbox are the same as I use in the ring. We start with the basics and once trainers have a firm grip of these, then we progress to more advanced techniques in the higher levels of the programme. We're bringing professional-standard boxing knowledge to the masses."
