John Naylor - Professional Boxing Coach - British Boxing Board of Control (BBB’of’C) Licensed Trainer

Personal Training

John offers one-to-one sessions or group sessions, in all aspects of boxing fitness work (speed, reaction time, power, strength & conditioning, speed/endurance, and cardiovascular fitness), and boxing skills. John’s works with a wide variety of clients, from beginners through to the more experienced athlete. On induction, John discusses client’s goals and objectives, and adapts all training to the client’s abilities. Several health checks are undertaken, in conjunction with Wilsonhealth, during induction and before training programmes commence, to ensure safe practice. John acknowledges that boxing training methods are now much more modern than previously, and has embraced the greater emphasis on the need for coaches to understand anatomy, exercise physiology, including the important roles of hydration and nutrition. From this acquired knowledge John emphasises the role of nutrition in boosting client’s performance (blood sugar important for feeding brain and central nervous system) and boosting immune system post-exercise.

Costs

One-to-One sessions - £35.00 per hour
Classes - £10.00 per client per hour (maximum 4 clients)
