Introducing: OFF-THE-ROPES SPORTS TEAM TRAINING!
Kingsway Boxing presents Off-The-Ropes Sports Team Training!
This isn’t just a boxing class—it’s a mindset shift. Off The Ropes is a high-impact, high-reward training experience built for anyone ready to break through their limits, build real strength, and tap into the mental toughness that boxing demands.
Led by Kingsway’s top coaching team, this immersive camp blends the fundamentals of Olympic-style boxing with strength, conditioning, and mindset training. It’s for athletes of all levels who are ready to train like fighters—even if they never plan to compete in the ring.
You’ll learn to move with purpose, punch with power, and think like a boxer—all while building confidence, resilience, and a deep connection to a like-minded community. Expect sweat, discipline, and a sense of accomplishment you can’t get from your average workout.
Why join Off The Ropes?
- Train alongside a supportive team in a world-class facility
- Build real-world strength and conditioning with a boxing edge
- Learn from certified coaches and athletes with international experience
- Push past limits in a safe, structured, and inspiring environment
- Walk away with the skills—and mindset—of a fighter
Whether you’re coming back from a setback, stepping into the gym for the first time, or simply craving a challenge, this is where you reclaim your power.
You don’t have to be a boxer to train like one. But you just might leave feeling like a champion.
In combination, the skills will act as a high-intensity, fast-track program that will increase skill in sports such as hockey, soccer, football, and lacrosse.
