Boxercise

The concept started in the United Kingdom in 1992, created by boxing coach Andy Wake.

[2][3] The company he started grew in popularity through the 1990s gaining over 1.2 million participants in the UK.

[4][5][6] The concept became popular worldwide as a generic fitness class and also with personal trainers using padwork to train their clients and fitness boot camp instructors using the techniques.

The objective of the classes is typically to achieve fitness or health benefits.

[13][14] The classes usually involve group exercise, warm-ups and working as partners using gloves and pads to go through boxing combinations of jab, hook, cross and uppercut.
