Posted onWe have missed training together and are so happy to finally see everyone again! We also acknowledge the prevalent virus and its variants and want to continue fighting for our community as SAFE AS POSSIBLE!
In addition to our Boxing Ontario Sanctioned COVID Protocols, Kingsway Boxing coaches are also RAPID ANTIGEN TESTING before EVERY VISIT on location. Although this is not a mandatory requirement, we are facilitating our team with the additional safety measure to help keep our community safe.
In the following article, we have highlighted some key information for all our members to view prior to their classes, followed by some additional precautions the Kingsway Boxing Club is taking to keep our community safe!
Please see below for very important notes about your session.

- Jutland Location: On arrival, warmup outside and your coach will greet you outside with next steps.
- Bloor Location: Please ensure you are lined up, physically distanced to the right of the entrance where your coach will screen you. Late entry will not be granted for classes as the trainer cannot hear the doorbell from outdoors.

Masks must be worn when entering the facility, Members may enter the facility for use of washrooms and hybrid/virtual classes. Please ensure you bring a mask you feel comfortable wearing for short periods in the case that distanced cannot be maintained.

- NO SPECTATORS: Due to COVID Restrictions and capacity limits, spectators are not allowed to remain on location for the duration of the session (this includes parking area while outdoor classes are in session).
- Outdoor Summer Training Tips: Please ensure you bring water and a hat, the sun has a way of creeping up! Loose clothing can help as well as it will protect your skin from the exposure but let you breath. The article link is an important read as many of us haven’t been overly active outdoors, especially with the heat.

- Private Training: We ask that you remain in your car after walking your children in and return to collect your children at the end of their session.

- Overflow: In the case that there are no spots left, please use the front of the building. There are a small number of spots available along the fence, however please ensure there’s room for trucks to pass through. Our landlord has mentioned that he may have to tow cars if they block the rear tenants. I’m so sorry for the inconvenience.
