🥊 Boxing Training at Fitness Trainers

Trial sessions available – contact David on 021 0803 6383.

Sessions can be endurance-based or include skilled boxing techniques. Either way, you’ll get a great workout and a chance to train differently from the usual weights-based session.

If you’re looking for something challenging, enjoyable and a little different, give boxing training a go! 🥊💪

🪖 **NZDF Beep Test – It’s Not Just About Running!**

To join the NZDF, you need to pass the **beep test / shuttle run**.

For many people, the difficult part isn't simply running — it's the **turning technique**.

Watch the four sections of this video carefully 👇

🔹 **Section 1 – Leading Foot**
The leading foot (the foot that goes over/on the line) ends up on the wrong side of the pivot foot — the foot that remains on the floor during the turn.

This means each run starts by kicking off in the wrong direction, creating **extra distance on every shuttle**.

🔹 **Section 2 – Pivot Foot**
The foot that touches down before the line should become the pivot foot. Instead, there is a crossover of both legs, causing the second step to become the pivot.

This is another **technique error that costs time and energy**.

🔹 **Section 3 – Corrected Turn**
The turning technique has now been corrected, but the pivot foot twists and is then stepped back over the line before starting the next run.

That extra movement **wastes valuable time**.

🔹 **Section 4 – Training Technique**
The final section shows a technique I use to help develop the **body movement, rotation and power** needed for a better turn.

⚠️ **Important:** This is **NOT the technique you should use during the actual NZDF beep test**. It is a training drill to help develop the movement required for the turn.

When you're trying to pass the beep test, **small technique errors can add up very quickly**.

🏃‍♂️ It's not always about running harder — sometimes it's about **running smarter**.

If you're preparing for the **NZ Army, Navy or Air Force**, Fitness Trainers can help you work on your running, turning technique, strength and fitness.

🪖 He’s now joined the Army!

Here’s a very quick clip of what he was able to do in training — without stopping.

💪 30kg Clean & Press 20 reps
🔥 Battle Ropes: 20 singles + 10 doubles
💥 RIP/TRX Trainer: 10 each side

And that was 3 sets of the entire circuit, with only 30 seconds rest between sets!

This type of training is designed to build the strength, fitness and endurance needed for the demands of Defence training.

A great effort and a fantastic result — congratulations on joining the Army! 🇳🇿🪖
