Small Group Boxing Beginners – Built for Real Life, Designed for 40+
Whether you’re lacing up gloves for the very first time, getting back into fitness after a break, or simply looking for something fresh to reignite your spark — our Small Group Beginners Boxing program is designed with you in mind.
At Instinct Boxing & Fitness in Bishop’s Lydeard, Taunton, we specialise in helping adults 40+ build skill, confidence, and fitness through structured, no-pressure coaching in a welcoming, ego-free environment.
What You’ll Learn
You don’t need to be “fit first” or have any prior experience. Step by step, we’ll guide you through the foundations of boxing:
✅ Stance & Footwork — balance, control, and efficient movement
✅ Punches & Combos — simple, effective techniques to build rhythm and flow
✅ Defence & Confidence — blocking, slipping, and head movement without pressure
✅ Smart, Safe Training — boxing skills without fighting or sparring
What Makes Beginners Boxing Different?
Our Beginners Boxing program is designed for adults who want to learn the art of boxing in a safe, structured, and supportive way — no egos, no pressure, no need to be “fit first.” Every session is built around you: your pace, your ability, your confidence.
We focus on four key pillars to help you build skills and fitness step by step:
1. Technique & Fundamentals
Learn proper stance, footwork, and punches in a way that’s simple, clear, and repeatable. Build confidence and avoid bad habits from day one.
2. Pad Work & Partner Drills
Boxing is more than hitting bags — you’ll work safely with partners to develop timing, accuracy, and flow, all while having fun.
3. Conditioning (Boxing-Style Fitness)
Short, sharp rounds improve stamina, burn fat, and boost endurance — always scaled to your level. You’ll leave energized, not exhausted.
4. Confidence & Community
Train in a small, welcoming group where everyone starts as a beginner. You’ll get fitter, sharper, and more confident — without ever feeling out of your depth.
Beginners Boxing at Instinct isn’t about trying to become a fighter. It’s about learning the craft, building fitness, releasing stress, and enjoying the process — all at a pace that works for you.
Build Lean, Functional Muscle for Busy 40+ Adults As we hit our 40s and beyond, maintaining muscle becomes crucial for strength, posture, and injury prevention. Our boxing-based training helps you build lean, functional muscle without the wear and tear — so you can stay strong, mobile, and ready for whatever life throws at you.
Reduce Stress & Improve Mental Focus for Busy 40+ Adults Feel overwhelmed by work or family demands? Boxing offers an outlet for stress that clears your head, boosts mood, and sharpens your focus. You’ll leave every session feeling grounded, empowered, and mentally recharged.
Improve Coordination & Balance for Busy 40+ Adults Footwork, head movement, and punch combinations stimulate both your body and brain. For adults 40+, this means better balance, sharper coordination, and a reduced risk of falls — keeping you steady, confident, and in control as you age.
Sharpen Reflexes & Reaction Time for Busy 40+ Adults Reflexes naturally slow as we age — but boxing keeps your brain firing fast. Drills that involve reacting, timing, and coordination retrain your nervous system to stay sharp, alert, and responsive well into your 40s and beyond.
