Personal Training vs. Group Boxing Classes: Which One Is Right for You?

So you’re ready to throw hands, build strength, and level up your fitness — but now you’re stuck:

Should you jump into a group class or work 1-on-1 with a personal trainer?

At Undisputed Boxing in Calgary and Strathmore, we offer both. And the truth is, they each bring something powerful to the table — it just depends on who you are, what you're after, and how you like to train.

Let’s break it down.

Group Boxing Classes: Energy, Community, and Structure

Group classes are the heartbeat of the gym. They’re high-energy, fast-paced, and built for anyone who wants to train hard with a team behind them. Whether you’re just starting out or already moving with power, group classes deliver a killer workout with technique, structure, and sweat.

Best For:

• Beginners looking to learn the basics

• People who thrive on community and energy

• Anyone who wants variety and a challenge

• Those training for fitness, not necessarily for competition

What You’ll Get:

• Coach-led sessions that build skill, speed, and conditioning

• Technique development (without the pressure of 1-on-1)

• A motivating atmosphere that keeps you showing up

• Real boxing drills without the contact

• A crew of like-minded people pushing through together

At Undisputed Boxing, our group boxing classes in Calgary and Strathmore are designed to meet you where you're at — with options for every level and a community that trains without ego.

Personal Training: Focused, Fast, and Custom

If you're ready to dial things in, work on specific goals, or need extra support, personal training is where the magic happens. Whether you’re prepping for your first fight, recovering from injury, or just want deeper accountability, working 1-on-1 gets you there quicker and safer.

Best For:

• People with specific goals (fighting, weight loss, strength gains)

• Those needing technique corrections or skill development

• Anyone who prefers privacy and full attention

• Athletes wanting a personalized program

What You’ll Get:

• Custom programming tailored to your body, schedule, and goals

• Technique correction on the spot

• Goal-focused sessions (power, speed, defence, conditioning)

• Deeper accountability and progress tracking

• A coach who adapts every workout to you

Our personal trainers in Calgary and Strathmore are experienced, real, and focused on results — whether you're a beginner or competitive athlete.

Can You Do Both?

Hell yes. In fact, some of our strongest transformations come from combining both:

1–2 personal training sessions a week to sharpen form, push harder, and focus on goals

2–3 group boxing classes for conditioning, community, and rhythm

That combo builds skill, grit, and serious fitness — without burning out.

Final Thoughts

So, which one’s right for you — group boxing classes or personal training?

The truth is, both work. It just depends on what motivates you:

Do you love the energy of the room? Go for the group.

Need personal focus and a tailored plan? Go 1-on-1.

Want the best of both worlds? Mix them up.

Whatever path you take, do it with purpose — and do it with a team that has your back.

💥 Train like a boxer. Build like an athlete. Move like you mean it.
