Boxing fitness classes in a hired hall

Adults wanting a fitness workout, beginners, parents and people after a social, non-contact style of training.

Weekly or casual class fees, class packs and monthly memberships, plus extra income from private pad-work sessions.

• Boxing technique and coaching
• Running a fun, safe group session
• Marketing through social media and local groups

• Public liability and professional indemnity insurance that covers boxing instruction
• Check which coaching qualifications or registrations your state or insurer expects, such as a fitness instructor certificate
• A Working With Children Check if you coach under-18s (check your state's rules)
• Injury risk, so use health screening forms and keep contact to non-contact or supervised drills
• Check hall hire terms and noise rules

Startup costs are typically around $1,500 to $6,000, depending on how much equipment such as gloves, pads and bags you buy, plus insurance and hall hire. These are estimates, so check your own costs.

Monthly revenue is typically around $800 to $4,000, depending on how many classes you run, how many people attend and your pricing. This is an estimate of revenue, not profit, so allow for hall hire.

Check that your public liability and professional indemnity insurance covers boxing instruction. Also check which coaching qualifications your state or insurer expects, whether you need a Working With Children Check for under-18s, and your hall hire terms and noise rules.
