"I have been training with Gareth and the team for just over a year now and have loved every minute of it. I expected to turn up and be faced with a gym full of head cases who had been hit around the head a few to many times but was pleasantly suprised, I have ended up being part of a great team of people that collectively push and support each other to get the best out of themselves.
None of this would be possible with out The Boxing Shops devotion to boxing and their clients. If you are looking to get fit and stay fit then this is the place for you..
Thanks to you all."

"I became bored too easily going to a traditional gym and would waste hundreds of dollars on memberships I would never see through to the end. So I decided to give Butterfly Boxing a go and have been hooked ever since. With such a dedicated and supportive team, I was guided through each session at a beginners level and never made to feel like I couldn't achieve more. And with each session I couldn't wait to learn something new, challenge myself a little more, and set new goals. Every day is different, which keeps it interesting - and you guys ROCK! The Boxing Shop experience would be nothing without you! Thanks for everything!"

" I am more than happy to provide a testimonial for the Boxing Shop who's expert, friendly staff and well executed professional training programs have had a very positive impact on my life.
Having been involved in various forms of fitness regimes over the last 30 years, i can confidently say that the training provided by the Boxing Shop in a safe and friendly environment, is the most comprehensive, effective and satisfying fitness training that i have ever undertaken.
In the first 9 months i have dropped approx 15KG and transformed my overall fitness and tonality, as well as improving my self confidence and general feeling of well being.

A big thanks to everyone connected with the Boxing Shop and keep up the good work"

".. Totally not what i expected to find at a boxing gym which is a good thing, the trainers are all so nice and friendly. Even as a guy who knew nothing at all about the sport they had time for me and explained things i didnt understand. Its always been fun to come and train never felt like it was just a grind, think that has to do with the team of trainers that work there. No looking back now cant see myself ever not boxing in the future.."

To the Team at The Boxing Shop,

I never expected, when I started attending only the Saturday boxing circuit sessions, that I would subsequently take part in evening group training sessions with boxers.
I have found boxing to be an effective stress-reliever and, for me, training at The Boxing Shop has been an uplifting and a positive learning experience.
The training sessions are not only highly enjoyable (often injecting me with a healthy dose of laughter), but they constantly test (by pushing me to and beyond) my perceived physical and psychological boundaries. I especially value the opportunity to train with competitive boxers. There is a good balance between having some level of anonymity and personal attention, and in the mix of individual, partnered and group-based activities - all of which take place in a friendly environment and are conducted in a way that transcend social categories (e.g., age, gender).
Of course, my training experience would not be the same without the trainers, all of whom have a great capacity to motivate as well as entertain (I am particularly grateful to Gareth and Fenella, who have had to put up with me the most). I am also grateful for the company of those I train with - the courage and mutual respect and support that people display are remarkable, and it has been inspiring to see the (physical and psychological) transformations that people have undergone as a result of their training at The Boxing Shop.
I look forward to having an ongoing association with The Boxing Shop.

Warm regards,
S.L

"Since completing the butterfly boxing I try to do two classes a week. Every class I do is awesome. I always feel better after a boxing workout. I have tried going to gyms before,but lack the motivation to keep going. At the boxing gym everyone is friendly,you're made to feel welcome. There's always someone to work with,therefore to push you to work harder. If I miss a class I'll be dying to get to the next one. When I'm doing a class my mind is focused on what I am doing,taking away the stresses of life,awesome "away" time. It's been another place for me to meet new friends. I have thought about fighting one day,but not yet,for now it's fitness and fun!"

Dear Team

I recently signed up for the butterfly boxing, but didn't finish the course because I found it was just too to come (from Redcliffe). I loved the content and way the course was set up - it was just too far away.

I was wondering if you knew of any similar courses being run a bit closer to where I am, either in Redcliffe itself or northside?

Looking forward to hearing from you

Kind regards
L.Fraser

I love training with you guys. Its just like you said, we are all friends!
After having trained as a fighter at another gym, it has been a breathe of fresh air to train with Gareth.
He focuses on basics, strength, fitness and fundamentals of the art of boxing. He also surrounds himself by only the best people and for this he is truly a great person.
All the guys at the boxing team are my great friends and I wish all an exciting and rewarding future and will see you all at the top! Go Hard!
Woo hoo, love you too Huia, you rock!!!

"Hi Guys,

thanks for asking for my testimonial not sure if this is what you are after but happy to give the feedback as you know I am a shy type and am very reluctant to say anything at all!!!

A little over 5 months ago I saw a small article in the local news paper advertising Boxing Classes, having done boxercise at my Gym (yes stop cringing now) I thought I'd take a look at what a real boxing class entailed. I gave "The Boxing Shop" a call to find out where they were and if it was ok for me to come a long to a class. From the moment I made that phone call I have experience an amazing level of professionalism,inclusion and motivation and not to mention a dramatic increase to my fitness. My first visit to the Boxing Shop made such an impact I was compelled to send an email as to how impressed I was:

Hi Gareth

just would like to thank you for your patience and attention this morning. It made the whole experience a lot more enjoyable and one that I will definitely repeat. Your attention and interaction with your customers will certainly gain you repeat business.

once again thank you
see you next week
cheers
N.

To this day I still feel this way and am happy to share the love of Boxing to anyone who will listen.

"I'm a very new Butterly boxer, hence the caterpillar reference ;-) I'm just starting out, doing the 6 week challenge with my little sister, Rach, and we both love it. I'm determined to carry on after this initial challenge cos i want to be a very strong old lady!! Thanks to the whole team - you're all amazing and make us feel so comfortable and confident"

H.Jasinski

"I have been training with Gareth, Huia, Fenella & Dave for 12 months. As much as I swear and carry on I'm hooked. I must say I am so glad I decided to join you in Butterfly boxing as it gives me time to work on my skills and to train in such a different environment/atmosphere puts a whole new spin on the workout. Even though you are teaching me exactly the same things as when I am training with the boys.

Since the first day I met these four wonderful people my life has changed in so many amazing ways. I don't just feel I can achieve anything, now I know I can.

You all inspire me and I know this is not even with alot of effort, it just who you are. You are all naturally wonderful individuals and I am a better person for knowing you. Thank you!"

Love Cx
C.Thomas

"A big THANKS to Gareth, Dave, Huia & Fenella for all the encouragement and positive feedback. I thank you all for giving me the courage to step out of my comfort zone and try something that does not come naturally to me. I am thoroughly enjoying myself and have set my goals. No doubt that with the inspiration that you are all giving me I will certainly reach them. Once again I thank you all and I'm sure that my feelings and thoughts are shared by all the Butterflies."

I joined the Boxing Shop just under a year ago now and I don't know what it is but it's the only form of excercise/ training I have found that I get a real buzz out of. I thoroughly enjoy each class and look forward to returning to each week! Something regular gyms have never done for me.
I try to get to the Ladies class weekly but when I do miss a class I really look forward to getting back into it as soon as I can (I've even resorted to taking on my punching bag here at home!). I've found the trainers Gareth and Dave to be very professional, fun and encouraging, even managing to squeeze those last couple of punches out when your arms feel like they are going to drop off! And Gemma to be warm and welcoming each time you visit.
Unfortunately I'll only be coming to the gym for another few weeks as we are leaving Brisbane, and of all things in this crazy city this is something I will really, really miss!
Thank you so much for sharing your time,patience and knowledge. I wish you all the best!
Cheers!
