The "Why" Behind Pad Training

How to Meet Your Client Where They're At
What’s your client’s current capacity? Do they qualify for impact-based activity today? On the workshop, we’ll cover quick assessments to pinpoint their starting spot and ways to tweak workouts to match their daily capacity.
Life happens, and we’re here to make the exercise fit the client—not the other way around!
Boxing-Specific Movement Prep
Boxing is tough on the body, especially for newbies! We’ll show you how to prep clients for peak performance with tailored movement prep.
