PIVOT — Boxing + strength, ten rounds, one hour

Boxing + strength, ten rounds, one hour.

ROUNDSBARBELLENGINERECOVER

"FOOTWORK FIRST. POWER SECOND."

Every round starts from the floor. We coach the stance, the step and the turn before anyone gets asked for speed, because a punch is only ever as honest as the feet under it. Come in cold, leave loud, and know exactly what you worked on.

The workout

THE HOUR

One hour, ten rounds, two stations. Half of them are on the bag and half are on the floor, and the round timer decides when you move — not the person next to you.

Between rounds the lights come up and a coach walks the room. That is the whole format. Nothing is hidden from you before class, and nothing gets sprung on you during it.

Doors

Fifteen minutes before the round timer starts. Wrap up, pick a bag, say hello.

Warm-up

Six minutes on the floor together. Ankles, hips, shoulders, and the first hundred rope turns.

Cool-down

Four minutes flat on the mat. Breathing, hamstrings, and whatever your shoulders are asking for.

FOUR CLASSES.

One floor, one round timer, four ways to spend the hour.

ROUNDS

60 min

Bag work

The signature hour. Ten rounds, five of them on the bag, and a coach who calls the combination out loud so nobody is guessing what comes next.

You will hit the bag properly by the end of the first class, because we spend the opening round on feet and guard before anybody is asked to swing at anything.

BARBELL

50 min

Strength

Squat, hinge, press, pull. Four patterns, one bar, and a rack that gets reset between every set so the room stays quiet enough to hear the coaching.

Loads are yours to choose and the coach will help you choose them. Nobody reads out what anyone else is lifting, and there is no board on the wall.

ENGINE

45 min

Conditioning

Ropes, sleds, bikes and carries in short intervals with real rest between them. Forty-five minutes that ask for output and then let you get it back.

It is the loudest hour on the schedule and the simplest one to follow: work when the light is on, stop when it is off, and keep the last interval honest.

RECOVER

40 min

Mobility

A slower forty minutes on the mat: breathing, range of motion through hips and shoulders, and long positions held until they stop being interesting.

It runs on Sunday evenings and after the late Wednesday class. Bring socks, leave the gloves in the bag, and expect to be the quietest room in the building.

The room

THE PIVOTFLOOR

One room, split down the middle. Bags on the window side, platforms and benches on the other, and enough space between them that a class of twenty-four never has to queue.

START HERE.

01
Arrive
Doors open fifteen minutes early. Give your name at the desk, drop your bag in a locker, and someone will walk you to the bag you are on.
02
Wrap
Wraps live in a bowl on the counter and they are yours to keep. If you have never put a pair on, say so — wrapping the first hand is a two-minute lesson.
03
Glove up
Loaner gloves come with your first class, sized at the desk. After that most people bring their own, and there is a shelf by the door to leave them on.
