That's why we are introducing our specially tailored FREE Queer Classes These classes are specifically for anyone under the queer umbrella. Our queer classes are specifically aimed at rookies but everyone is welcome.
Boxing gear available and bring your own if you have.
Queerboxing offers free boxing classes for anyone who wants to learn or try boxing in a safer, community-focused space. Our class is called Boxing Technique/Bag. It’s about doing something we might not be good at yet, but being brave enough to try anyway.
We embrace the idea that it’s okay to be a beginner sometimes. You don’t have to know everything or be strong or experienced. Trying, showing up, and showing up for yourself is what counts. No experience is needed, everyone can box. This class is suitable for both beginners and more advanced boxers. If you’ve never boxed before, let us know if you are a beginner. But no worries, there are many cute boxers and experienced trainers who are happy to help you out.
Everyone deserves to feel safe. We aim to create a space where you can learn to box, build confidence, and hopefully feel a little safer in your body and in the world. It’s also a place to meet community, where friendships can grow
Sunday classes alternate each week:
One week: bag training
The next week: technique training
If you have any injuries, limitations, or access needs, please let the trainer know in advance so we can adapt the exercises where possible.

House rules
Be on time.
Everyone helps clean the bags, equipment, and space.
No discrimination of any kind: racism, transphobia, sexism, ableism, ageism, homophobia, or any other exclusionary behavior.
If we make mistakes, we repair them together.
No macho behavior or big egos. We help each other grow. Vulnerability is strength.
Respect the trainer as they’re volunteering their time to teach this class.
