What is Back Bay Boxing all about?

Now, this is a story all about how

Back Bay Boxing came about

And I'd like to take a minute

Just sit right there

I'll tell you how I started a boxing workout in the fresh air

In the south of Ireland I was born and raise

In the playground I used to spend most of my days

Hangin' out, goin' for a few pints', relaxin', all cool

And throwing some combos outside of the school

When a couple of guys who were up to no good

Started making trouble in the countryside

So I said 'Screw you guys, I'm shipping off to Boston'.


Now that you have the background...

here's some more details on Back Bay Boxing.


As we are the ONLY Outdoor Boxing Workout in Boston, people often wonder what to expect in their 1st boxing class so here's what makes Back Bay Boxing a favourite amongst almost everyone and

Boston's Number 1 Rated 5 Star Boxing Workout.


Most importantly we are NOT a 'heavy bag' gym or workout. 

Why? Well, darkly lit heavy bag rooms, loud techno-music and instructors with Brittany Spears mouth-pieces doesn't really teach you how to box.


At Back Bay Boxing, our goal is to teach EVERYONE how to box, in a NON-CONTACT, safe, social setting.


Here is a quick video of one of our 'pop-up classes' from the Van Ness Building Terrace in Boston: 



We'll teach you all to do all this!


  • Our classes consist of a wee warm-up followed by a 'partnered boxing technique workout'. 

  • What you see in the video is the 'partnered boxing' portion of class.

  • For half the class you will be punching the focus mitts, for half the class you will be catching the punches on the focus mitts.

  • The classes are run in 'rounds' and we alternate partners throughout the class so you meet a lot of new people.

  • We teach you how to punch correctly and how to use the 'focus mitts' correctly.

  • We teach you all the 'boxing combos' you need to know to get a great workout in and some simple, boxing related self-defense tips.

  • You will NOT get punched in class.

  • Our classes are NON-CONTACT and instructional in nature.


If you've any questions about the gym or the workout,

don't hesitate to reach out and ask.


We're here to help you learn the sport of boxing in a safe, inclusive and comfortable environment.


Yes, we are on ClassPass. 

Yes, we have Class Packages.

Yes, we have Monthly Memberships.

Yes, we are the best at what we do...but I'm obviously biased. 



See you in class soon!
