Off The Ropes Boxing

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m not sure if boxing is for me. What can help me decide?

OTR offers a free trial class every Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. In this class, you will learn the basic techniques of boxing and get a better idea of what to expect from our classes. The class is offered to anyone age 6 years old and up and without obligation. If you want to attend the class, please sign up in person at the front counter of OTR or send us an email using our “contact us” form listed on this site. When you sign up, please be sure to tell us the age of the participant and the date you wish to attend.

How old do I have to be to participate?

We accept members anywhere from six years old and up. Students who are under 18 years will have to have their parent’s permission and a signed waiver.

What do I need to bring with me to class?

Boxing is just like any other form of physical exercise. You will need to wear comfortable clothes that you can freely move in, a water bottle, and appropriate footwear. Any type of tennis shoe is fine however; boots or hard bottom shoes will not be permitted.

I want to get in shape but I don’t actually want to fight. Is sparring required?

No. Many of our members only participate in the cardio conditioning part of our classes. Sparring is always optional and no one will ever be forced to participate in any activity where they may feel uncomfortable.

I want to join your gym, but I am not sure if I am in good enough shape. Should I wait?
