Women’s Boxing Classes at Odenton Fitness in Maryland

In our nation’s biggest cities, health conscious women are participating in boxing as their primary exercise in massive numbers. Why? Because boxing is one of the few whole body workouts and women, even more so than men, are interested in toning their entire body in a short period of time. Also, because of the physicality of boxing, it burns off stress in a way that no other activity can. Moreover, boxing, for reasons that even transend the body shaping benefits of boxing, improves the self confidence of women both socially and in the workplace.

Why then, has women’s boxing not taken off as well in the suburbs and in smaller cities like Baltimore? The reason why is that typical “boxing gyms” that are not part of major mega big city health clubs, do not cator to women. The environment is uncomfortable, there is no day care for children, the club is not clean, and there is not an opportunity to engage in other forms of exerices on days when you do not feel like throwing a punch.

Odenton Fitness is a white collar boxing gym with an environment and facility where girls and women learning to box can feel at home.

The intimidation factor usually falls the minute you walk in. We cannot call our club a “judgment free zone” because that phrase has been copyrighted. But you get the idea.
