Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be good to attend the classes?

Not at all! That is why we have each client start with an intro session – so you can get comfortable before joining a class and so that we can get to know you better. We scale our workouts to all fitness types – you could be a pro-boxer or completely new to fitness and either way we will make sure you will get a good workout.

Will I learn how to box?

You will receive authentic boxing technique coaching from real-life boxers. Our class options allow you progress as your skills and confidence increase. Starting off with 10 rounds, signature session, pure boxing classes and moving to sparring only when you feel you are comfortable.

Will I get punched?

No! The only punching contact would be in our sparring classes. In all our other boxing sessions it’s just you and the bag or the pads. You will be coached through each punching pattern.

What if I can't do everything in the class?

If you haven’t worked out in a while or have a known injury please let our coaches know and we can come around to you with alternative scaled options during class.

Is this a female friendly gym/ studio?

85% of our clients at HBA are women – we are welcome to anybody and everybody, all shapes, sizes and levels.

Do I need to bring gloves or wraps?

Yes – they are available to purchase on our website, they will also be available in your local sports shops.

What should I wear?

Your normal training gear works – T-Shirt, legging, shorts, tank and runners. Make sure you can comfortably move and breathe.

How do I book more classes?

After your intro session, we will set you up on our class booking system. You will receive information via email. All booking and cancellations are done via the app.

I'm on a waitlist - what does that mean?

Our classes fill up fast, if your class of choice is not available you can be added to the waitlist. This means you are not in the class, but if a spot becomes available you will be notified. Notification will come to you via email.

What's your cancellation policy?

Classes and PT sessions need to be cancelled 12 hours before class, otherwise you will lose your credit. Classes are easily cancelled on our booking app. We know emergencies happen – so of you have a specific cancellation query you can also contact our office.

Will I be able to do classes at all your studios?

Yes, when you buy membership or a bundle of classes you can use them at any of our 3 studios.

I am pregnant, can I attend your classes?

Please consult with your doctor for advice.

What is the difference between PAYG & Membership

PAYG bundles and Membership provide access to the same classes but there are added benefits to membership including cheaper classes, free merchandise, waitlist priority and much much more. PAYG bundles are valid for three months and must be manually renewed when they expire. Membership bundles auto renew monthly so all you need to do is enjoy the boxing!

What's the difference between membership tiers?

We have three tiers of membership- flyweight, middleweight and heavyweight. You can find details of each membership here.

I bought PAYG bundles but now I want to become a HBA member?

Sounds like a smart choice! Once your Pay As You Go Bundle expires, you can then transfer to membership by purchasing it on the app or via our website.

I bought HBA membership but want to change to a different tier?

Yes it is possible to change membership tiers, just send an email to info@headonboxing.ie and we can help you amend your membership status and payment details. You will need to allow 30 days for this to take effect.

I've bought my PAYG bundles - where do I book classes?

You can book your classes by downloading the Headon Boxing Academy app and logging in with the details provided.

I've purchased a HBA membership - when does it renew?

Your membership will automatically renew each month on the anniversary date of your purchase until you cancel.

Do excess membership classes carry over to the next month?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to carry over classes so we encourage you to try and use your classes in the allotted month.

I've used all classes in my bundle - do I have to wait until next month?

Absolutely not! Don’t worry, you can purchase top up classes to your bundle via the Headon Boxing Academy app or by emailing us directly. These classes will be discounted based on your bundle.
