“Boxing is the most comprehensive workout there is,” says Joshua Schneyer. “It requires that you gain coordination. It requires lots of focus. It requires courage, tenacity, and discipline.”
Schneyer is the owner of the State Street Boxing Club, located right where our main drag dips below 101. Though there is training for contact boxing at SSBC, the majority of the members come to exercise and participate in the intense conditioning classes.
“Boxing as a fitness workout, instead of fighting, has developed in the past 20 years,” explains Schneyer, who is also the head coach at at SSBC. “No other single workout develops functional strength, endurance, coordination, and flexibility.”
