How Do I Start Training At Wolfpack Boxing Club?
Ready to learn how to box? Everyone begins with our two-session Intro-to-Boxing course, unless they have previous formal amateur boxing training.
Here's how to get started:
1. Register and Pay: Complete your Intro-to-Boxing registration and payment online. The cost is $60 for both sessions. Important: You may register and pay in advance, but payment alone does not reserve your place in the session until you contact Wolfpack Boxing Club to confirm availability and secure your session date. Space is limited to 8 participants per session.
2. Attend Your First Session: Your first Intro session is held Saturday at 1:15 PM.
3. Complete Your Second Session: Return Sunday at 11:00 AM to complete your introductory training.
4. Begin Regular Classes: After completing both Intro sessions, you're ready to join our regular boxing classes and continue developing your skills.
Important Scheduling Information:
Intro-to-Boxing sessions are offered at scheduled group times only, not by individual appointment. Advance registration and payment are required, and space is limited to eight participants per session.
Can't make weekends? No problem. We offer private intro sessions as well that can be scheduled around your availability! The cost is $80 for one hour and it only takes one session to complete! Schedule yours here
*Rescheduling within 24 hours of your scheduled session, or failing to attend, results in a $25 fee.
Never boxed? That's ok! 99% of our students have never boxed previously. Our two-session introductory-to-boxing course is designed to show you the basics of amateur boxing beginning with the fighting stance, jab, cross, as well as some basic footwork, and terminology.
Have Experience in Other Martial Arts? If you've previously trained in Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), Karate, Kickboxing, Wrestling, or other martial arts, you're welcome at Wolfpack Boxing Club! However, because traditional amateur boxing requires its own specific techniques and fundamentals, students without previous formal amateur boxing training must complete our two-session Intro-to-Boxing course before joining regular classes.
Do I have to take the intro course if I've trained in boxing before?
If you have had USA Boxing certified coaches teach you previously, you are not required to take the intro course. One of our coaches will be happy to evaluate your skill level prior to your first class. If you have not been formally trained by a USA Boxing certified coach in boxing, you will need to take the intro course. We take this very seriously and require sound boxing fundamentals prior to attending any of our classes.
Do I need any special equipment?
No, simply come dressed in comfortable workout clothes (sweats, shorts, sneakers, etc.). We have everything you need to get started boxing (hand wraps, jump ropes, gloves, headgear etc)! If you would prefer to purchase your own equipment, we recommend 16oz training or sparring gloves and 180" Mexican style hand wraps. However, we provide all incoming students with a free pair of hand wraps for the intro session. We have a nice variety of boxing equipment that can be purchased at our gym. You can also shop online at two world-class boxing sites: www.ringside.com or www.titleboxing.com. .
What happens after the Intro Class?
You can attend any of the classes (for your level) that we offer on the schedule. You do not have to pre register for classes, you can just show up. Please refer to our schedule page for the current class descriptions. Each class is one hour except for morning and lunch classes (45 minutes). View our class schedule. Here's a video on how to wrap your hands for class.
I'm not in great shape, will I survive?
This is the most common concern. Not to worry. Although boxing is the hardest and most intense sport in the world, we encourage new students to simply go at their own pace. We don't want any injuries to occur or for you to become discouraged right out of the gate! We'll push you, but not ride you like a drill sergeant! We are all about making you feel comfortable and getting the best workout you can for your own fitness level!
What do classes consist of?
Boxing is all that we do! Our classes are structured and will teach you all the aspects of boxing and also incorporate conditioning. Typically, classes consist of drills, bag work, focus mitts, circuits and other forms of conditioning. These are not boxing aerobics classes, we're here to teach you how to box and get you into boxing shape - and it will be the best workout you've ever experienced! Note: there is no head contact in the Basics class - and none is ever required unless a student intends to spar eventually. Yes, (contrary to popular belief) you can learn boxing without getting punched in the face!
Do you offer women's boxing classes?
Women are an important part of the Wolfpack Boxing Club community, and women of all experience levels are welcome in our boxing programs. Rather than separating our members into women's-only classes, men and women train together in our regular boxing classes in a welcoming, structured environment. Whether your goal is to learn authentic boxing skills, improve your fitness, build confidence, or simply try something new, our coaches provide individual instruction and attention to help you progress at your own pace. If you're looking for women's boxing classes in Pittsburgh, Wolfpack offers real boxing instruction in an environment designed to be comfortable and approachable for beginners.
Do you offer youth boxing classes?
Yes, we have a minimum age of 6 years old to join. We currently have many children in our boxing classes - some of which even work out with their parents (who join with them). We do require that parents remain on the premises during their child's class. We have our Pee Wee boxing class for ages 6 - 10. Basics Class is for ages 11 and up.
I do not want to compete; can I still come in and train?
YES! Our boxing program was designed for just that reason. Wolfpack Boxing has also found some of our best amateur boxers in our classes, so you never know - no sparring or head contact is required to learn at our gym!
How does your membership work?
We offer classes, open gym and a combination of both! All memberships are UNLIMITED so you can use them as often or as little as you want. Again, check our membership page. Look at it as the more you buy, the cheaper it is per class. We accept MasterCard, Visa, Discover, American Express, and cash (certain restrictions apply). You can pay/renew online here.
Once I sign up for class, can I also use the facility to work out on other days?
Absolutely! Once you are enrolled in classes, you are welcome to also use our facility any other days. Open gym is included in our class membership. Like any other gym, there may be other classes going on so please be respectful.
Do you offer open gym for boxing only?
Yes. You must either have previous formal training or attend our two intro courses prior to being admitted to our open gym membership. No classes or instruction is included with this membership. Classes take precedence on all equipment. Sparring is not allowed by open gym members except with prior approval from management.
Do you train MMA?
We are a boxing-only club. We do, however, help many MMA athletes on their boxing skills! If you want to improve your stand-up game, call us!
I have previous Amateur boxing experience, can I just jump into intermediate or advanced level?
Our coaches would need to evaluate your skill level to determine what level you would be best suited.
