Boxing Classes in Dubai: Fun, Friendly Boxing Fitness for Every Level
You don't need to be a boxer. You don't need to be fit. You just need to turn up. At Boxica, our boxing fitness classes are built for real people: no ring, no sparring, no ego, just a great workout in a friendly room with coaches who have your back.
We've been doing this since 2020, at our studios in Dubai Studio City and on the Palm Jumeirah. Ask our members what keeps them coming back and you'll hear the same thing: it's fun, it's never intimidating, and 45 minutes flies by.

The Boxica Class: 10 Rounds That Feel Like 25 Minutes
Our signature class is simple, and it works.
- 10 rounds in 45 minutes. 5 rounds of boxing and 5 rounds of strength, alternating.
- Aqua bags. Water-filled bags that absorb your punches, so they're easy on your wrists and joints.
- Dumbbells on benches. Between boxing rounds, you hit the bench for strength work: presses, rows, squats and more.
- Workouts on screen. Custom workout videos we make ourselves play on big screens throughout, so you always know the next move.
- A coach in the room. Your coach calls every round, shows you the technique and cheers you through the tough bits.
The lights, the music and the screens keep you so busy that most people tell us the class feels like 25 minutes. Nobody's watching you, nobody's judging. You just punch, lift, sweat and leave feeling incredible.

Boxing
The class that started it all. Ten rounds of boxing and strength, workouts on screen, and a coach guiding you all the way. It's a full-body workout that builds fitness, strength and coordination, and it's the best place to start.
Boxing + Strength
Same 10-round format, same aqua bags, but the bench rounds focus on strength moves rather than general fitness. Great if you want to build muscle while you box.
Boxing Circuits
Take your boxing outdoors at Studio City. Circuits mix bag work, pad work and conditioning in the open air. It's a fun change of scene and a great way to sharpen your technique.
Ladies Only
Our signature class in a women-only room at Boxica Palm Jumeirah. Boxing is brilliant for women: it builds strength, fitness and confidence, and it's a great way to release stress. All our classes welcome women of every level; Ladies Only is there for anyone who'd prefer it.
Who Our Boxing Classes Are For
Everyone. Seriously. Here's who you'll be boxing next to.
- Complete beginners. Never thrown a punch? Most of our members hadn't either. Your coach teaches you the basics in your first class.
- People who find gyms intimidating. No mirrors full of muscle, no ego. Just a friendly room that's all about having fun.
- Busy people. 45 minutes, a full-body workout, done.
- Anyone who gets bored easily. Every class is different, and you can mix in Strength, HYROX, Sweat and Ride at Studio City.
- People who want to de-stress. There's nothing like punching a bag after a long day at work.
- Anyone looking for a community. Our coaches know your name, and members become friends.
Your First Boxing Class: What to Expect
- Arrive 10 minutes early. Say hi at the front desk and meet your coach.
- Wear comfy gym clothes and trainers. Bring a water bottle and a towel.
- Wraps and gloves. Bring your own, or buy them at the studio. On the First Timer Offer, wraps are yours to keep and glove rental is included.
- A quick intro. Your coach shows you how to stand, punch and use the bags.
- Ten rounds. Boxing, then strength, then boxing again. Go at your own pace and take a breather whenever you need it.
- Cool down and stretch. Then leave feeling amazing.
