Question 1

I've never boxed before. Is Empower right for me?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Empower Boxing Club is designed for beginners as well as experienced boxers. Most of our members start with little or no boxing experience, and our coaches will teach you the fundamentals step by step in a welcoming, supportive environment. You don't need to be in great shape or know how to box before you start.

Question 2

What makes Empower Boxing Club different from other boxing gyms in Denver?

Accepted Answer

We teach real boxing—not just fitness boxing. You’ll learn authentic technique, footwork, defense, partner drills, and ring fundamentals while getting an incredible workout. And because our classes are capped at 12 people, you get more individual coaching, feedback, and attention than you would in a typical large-group boxing class.

Question 3

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

You can choose between our adult group classes or private sessions which are open to all ages. If you're new to boxing, start with our First Round Intro: one 45-minute private coaching session plus six group classes for $149, valid for 21 days. Your private session introduces you to the fundamentals and helps you feel comfortable before joining group classes. From there, you can choose the membership that best fits your training goals and schedule.

Question 4

Can I try a class before joining?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Our drop-in rate is $32, so you can experience a class before committing to a membership. If you decide to join, we'll apply your $32 drop-in fee toward your first month.

Question 5

What should I bring to my first class and what can I expect?

Accepted Answer

Arrive at least 10 minutes early before class in order to get situated with any equipment you might need. Class starts promptly at the scheduled time. Wear comfortable workout clothes, athletic shoes and bring a water bottle with you. We provide all the equipment you need, though you're welcome to bring your own gloves and wraps.Your coach will walk you through the fundamentals, demonstrate each technique, and pair you with a partner to practice. You don't need to know anything beforehand—we'll guide you through the class step by step.

Question 6

Are Empower's boxing classes good for fitness, or do I need to compete?

Accepted Answer

You don't need to compete to train at Empower. Our classes combine real boxing technique with challenging conditioning, making them a great way to improve fitness, strength, coordination, and confidence. If you eventually want to spar or compete, our structured training can help you progress toward those goals as well.

Question 7

How large are your boxing classes?

Accepted Answer

Our group boxing classes are capped at 12 participants. We intentionally keep classes small so our coaches can spend more time watching, correcting, and coaching each boxer. You'll get the energy and community of a group class without being lost in a crowd of 20 or 30 people.

Question 8

Which membership is right for me?

Accepted Answer

It depends on how often you want to train. Foundation includes 4 classes per month, Level Up includes 8 classes per month, and Performance includes 16 classes per month plus open gym access and sparring access once you're eligible. If you're brand new to boxing, we recommend starting with the First Round Intro before choosing a membership.

Question 9

Do you offer private coaching?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our 1-on-1 boxing sessions provide individualized coaching based on your experience, goals, and areas you want to improve. Private training is a great option for beginners who want extra instruction, experienced boxers who want to sharpen specific skills, or anyone who prefers a more personalized training experience. We also offer duet training for two people who want to train together.

Question 10

When can I start sparring?

Accepted Answer

Sparring is earned through skill development and not simply by just signing up. You'll first build a foundation in technique, defense, footwork, and partner work. Once you're ready, your coach can help you progress toward controlled sparring. Our goal is to make sure you have the skills and preparation to spar safely and confidently.

Question 11

Where are you located, and is parking available?

Accepted Answer

We're located at 1441 W. 46th Ave., Unit 7, Denver, CO, with free parking available in the surrounding lots and on nearby streets.
