FAQ
Good to know.
Is BoxDichFit a boxing club?
We are a boxing gym with a real club feel: regular groups, familiar faces and coaches who know you. The focus is on fitness boxing and technique built on the Swiss Boxing standard, not on competition. If you are ambitious, we will push you further.
Is boxing suitable for beginners? Do I need to be fit?
No. Most of our members started from zero. Every exercise can be scaled, and you set your own pace. If you have boxed before, you get more demanding combinations.
Will I get hit? Is there sparring?
Nobody hits you in class. You work on pads, on the bag and with partner drills. Depending on the group, we sometimes add an optional bonus round after class: playful, controlled sparring or explosive training. Join if you want to, it is never a must.
Can I train for competition with you?
Yes. Christopher is a trained competition coach and develops ambitious boxers in technique, conditioning and tactics. If you want, he will prepare you all the way to your first amateur bout, for example with additional personal training.
Are classes in English?
Yes. We coach in English and German, depending on who is in the group. Our team also speaks French, Spanish and Italian. Many of our members are internationals living in Zurich.
Can boxing help me lose weight?
Boxing combines endurance, strength and high-intensity intervals (HIIT) and burns a lot of energy. Many members join for exactly that reason. How fast your body changes also depends on nutrition, sleep and consistency. If you like, we support you with personal training and a nutrition strategy.
Is boxing for women too?
Absolutely. Women and men train together, everyone at their own level. Many women value exactly this friendly, ego-free atmosphere.
How much does it cost?
Your first trial class is free. Afterwards we show you the memberships and find out together what fits you, no sales pressure.
How often should I train?
For noticeable progress we recommend 2–3 classes per week. With a membership you can join all 5 weekly classes.
What should I bring?
Sportswear, clean indoor shoes and a water bottle. We have gloves and hand wraps for you. You are welcome to bring your own.
Are there showers?
No. Most people train in the evening and shower at home afterwards.
Where exactly is the gym?
Max-Högger-Strasse 2, 1st floor, a 3–5 minute walk from Zurich Altstetten station. After 7 pm and early on weekends, use the silver door by the ramp, it is always open.
