At the LBC, we cater to a wide variety of ages, abilities, and goals. Whether you are looking to lose a little weight, pick up some self defense skills, build your confidence and self-esteem, or get in the ring, we have a program for you.

No, you get a Free Week! 😊

That’s what boxing is for!

We have no minimum requirements for a first timer. While we will push you, we will also encourage you to take as many breaks as you need. Our goal isn’t too destroy you, but rather to give you just enough stimulus so that you keep progressing.

Growing up as a boxer, Head Coach Rick Duff earned the nickname “Rugged Tough” in part due to his intense training habits. Rick wasn’t the biggest or the strongest, but what he lacked in physical traits he made up with sheer tenacity and will. 

At the club, we use this term to refer to the mental side of training. It’s one thing to be tough and have the physical qualities (power, speed, endurance), but to get to the next level – in the ring or in life – we need to be Rugged Tough. We need to be gritty and learn how to endure, especially when a fight isn’t going our way. And when we lose, we need the character values to be able to be a good sport about it, learn from it, and embrace the next challenge.

Through boxing, these are the values of “Rugged Tough-ness” that we teach:

  Humility (being able to shrink the ego and take feedback)
  Integrity (doing what’s right)
  Adaptability  (being able to adjust and innovate to overcome obstacles) 
  Teamability  (being able to work well with others)
  Emotional Strength (having a positive attitude and trying to control only what we can control)

Most of our classes are designed with the beginner in mind. They include:

Group Fitness

  A fully-coached class that combines boxing with a fitness routine

Non-Competitive Boxing

  A semi-coached class where beginners learn the basics of shadow boxing before moving on to heavy bags, hand pads, and boxing dummies

Girl Power

  A fully-coached class for women of all ages

More info can be viewed on our Class page.

For ages 4 to 7 we have our popular Little Sluggers class.

After age 8, everyone trains the same and has access to our two main programs: Competitive or Non-Competitive Boxing.

We do not have an adult-only class but all our classes (with the exception of Little Sluggers) are open to adults.

Our oldest boxer is 55.

At the LBC,  our classes are either fully-coached or semi-coached.

  Fully-coached classes follow a specific start/stop time schedule and have more strict routines where everyone does the same thing. These classes include Group Fitness, Little Sluggers, Power Training, and Girl Power.

  Semi-coached classes do not follow a start/stop schedule, have a less strict routine, and allow boxers to work more on what they need personally (as directed by a coach) for their own development. These classes include Competitive and Non-Competitive Boxing classes.

We are home to Lethbridge’s only boxing ring – a 20 foot regulation-sized elevated ring – and 2500 square feet of total space.

Our amenities include a change room, rest room, water fountain, and ample parking.
