What people ask
Frequently asked questions.
Short answers to what most people ask before their first session. If your question is not here, message us on WhatsApp.
Everything you need to know
Can I start boxing from zero, with no experience?
Yes, and that is most people who come. The group is mixed precisely so you can start from nothing. In your first session you learn the guard, basic footwork and the jab.
Are classes taught in English?
Classes are taught in Romanian, but both coaches speak enough English to teach you properly, and boxing is mostly demonstrated rather than explained. Several of our members do not speak Romanian and manage fine.
I am over 40 and have not trained in years. Is it too late?
No. Boxing adapts to the fitness you have, not the other way round. The coach sets the intensity. The only rule is not to skip the warm-up.
What does it cost?
69 lei for a single session, 279 lei/month for 8 sessions, 349 lei/month for 12. Your first trial session is free. See full pricing.
Is the first session really free?
Completely. You come, do the full session, and leave. If you do not like it you owe nothing and nobody chases you.
What equipment do I need?
At the start, none. We lend gloves. Bring sportswear, indoor trainers and water. Full list here.
Will I be forced to spar?
Never. Cardio Box has no sparring of any kind. In the mixed group, sparring is optional, controlled and only for people with a base. Beginners work the bags and pads, not the ring.
What is the schedule?
Boxing: Tuesday and Wednesday 90 min, Saturday 120 min. Cardio Box: Thursday, Saturday and Sunday (two groups), one hour each. See the full schedule.
Do you also teach kickboxing or MMA?
No. We do boxing, only boxing. We would rather do one thing well than five things halfway.
Where is the gym?
Strada Sfânta Vineri 24, first floor, central Bucharest, minutes from Piața Unirii. How to get here.
Is there a contract or minimum term?
No. Memberships are monthly, with no contract, no joining fee and no minimum term.
Do you have classes for children?
Not at the moment. Training is for adults.
Does boxing help with weight loss?
Yes — a session combines intense cardio with technical work, so you burn a lot without the boredom of a treadmill. But boxing is a technical sport first; fitness is a side effect.
Can I bring a friend?
Yes, and we reward it: if your friend takes out a membership, you get 50% off your own or 100 lei back.
