Any private trainers available?

Hi id love to get into boxing,but first off i would like too become more fit and better toned.im about 5ft 5./5ft 5 and half and 10 st 4 lbs.i not fat and i just have a bit of a belly,nothin major and nothin that i cant sort out in a few weeks.id like to have a personal trainer who knows the boxing scene and can guide me better as at the moment i dont know much about how boxing works,like i know some basics of boxing but i of course need a lot more than that,i know people are going to say just join a club but i dont think im fit enough for that yet,id like to meet with someone first and discuss boxing and train and then join a club.honestly im also a bit nervous walking into a club without previously knowing anybody.so in short i would be willing to pay someone to meet up with me and disccus ,further advise and maybe even train me further for the boxing,so anybody available here?

In the meantime, get yourself a jump rope.. jump for round intervals. Go for daily jogs and interval with sprints. Get yourself a heavybag to hit on your own time.. and if you have a friend, get him to hold focus pads for you to hit. You might find an online tutorial for how to hold and hit them properly.. combos etc..

If you told us what city you are in, it might help you find someone better.

I myself am from DUblin and have been in oz for a couple of years,i got involved with a boxing club over there and did a bit of sparring,oad work etc.I was told i should get into when i got back so im looking also for some private lessons and then get back into it as its a while since ive done it so can you tell me if where theres some good private coaches in north dublin and tell me roughly how much an hour would cost?

I believe cowzerp is a personal trainer/ boxing trainer.

MBC

Philip Sutcliffe from Crumlin Boxing Clubs is one of the top coaches in Ireland.........not sure what the rates etc are though.............he is doing this now. If you want his number PM me.

cowzerp

i've been doing this for years now-good to see phil get involved, 1 on 1 training is far superior as you can easily teach good technique and focus on the lad your training..

I recommend Paul as I think he may be an even better coach than he was a boxer and he was a top notch boxer......

Judomad

id recommend paul to anyone ever trying to learn boxing, he has thought me all the boxing i know and it turned out well in the last ufr pro series wen i made my fight a boxing match 4 as long as possible even though iv a grappling background, gr8 motivator!!!!!!!!

Cowzerp how much do you charge for private lessons? And where do u do them?

cowzerp

i train most people in swords jackie skellys, price is standard half hour personal training rates, as its very intense and 30 mins is loads so you get charged for half an hour personal training, even for competitive boxers 30 mins is tough as its at my pace not there's-pm me if you want to know more,
