UBX boxing training franchise launches in New Zealand

The first UBX in the country opened in Bayfair, Mt Maunganui, at the end of September.

‘Our purpose at UBX is to deliver a sense of community, camaraderie and belonging (the most attractive aspects of sports) and combine these elements with convenience, accessibility, expert support and intelligent programming,’ says Edrianne Javier, Head of Marketing and PR for UBX.

‘UBX allows the everyday person to train like a pro and encourages them to seek purpose behind what drives them. Our members adopt a “winning mindset”; they begin to look, feel and think like a boxer, and develop the strength, confidence and discipline of a true fighter.’

‘Our workouts replicate the physical demands of a 12-round championship bout; there are 12 x 3-minute rounds with 30 seconds rest between. Each workout is completed in under 45 minutes which is the optimal duration for high-intensity training, maintaining the right balance between effort and results.’

‘UBX training methods have been designed to maximise results. We deliver a functional and highly varied strength programme, progressing through sports-specific training cycles that are guaranteed to get you in fighting shape. Our movements are athletic – so you train like a professional boxer, without actually having to be one!’
