Question 5

What's the difference between the Beginners Boxing Fundamentals and the Boxing Training Camp classes?

Accepted Answer

Our two core classes serve different, complementary purposes on your boxing & fitness journey.

🥊 Boxing Fundamentals

Perfect For: Absolute beginners or those returning to boxing after a break who want to build a solid technical foundation from the ground up.
Focus: This class is skill-first. We systematically break down the essentials: proper stance, footwork, basic punches (jab, cross, hook), defensive movements (slips, rolls), and core principles. The pace is instructional, with ample time for coach feedback to ensure you develop safe, effective habits.
Goal: To build confidence and competency in the fundamentals of boxing in a supportive, low-pressure environment.

🔥 HTD Boxing Training Camp

Perfect For: All levels, but best suited for those with some experience. It's the go-to class for intermediate/advanced students and fundamentals graduates looking to apply their skills at a higher intensity.
Focus: This is a dynamic, high-energy workout that blends boxing skill with elite conditioning. The focus changes daily—some sessions are boxing-technique heavy with complex combos and partner drills, while others are more conditioning-focused to build power, speed, and endurance. The routines are constantly varied to challenge your body and mind.
Goal: To elevate your overall fitness, boxing athleticism, and ring IQ through intense, varied training.

Question 6

How big are your class sizes? / Will I get enough attention from the coach?

Accepted Answer

We intentionally cap our group classes at 15 students. This optimal size ensures our coaches can provide safe, personalized feedback to every participant while maintaining the energetic group atmosphere we're known for. You'll never feel like just a number in a crowded room.

Question 7

How is a typical class structured?

Accepted Answer

A 60-minute class usually follows this flow:
Warm-up (10-15 min): Dynamic stretching, jump rope, light calisthenics.
Technical Instruction (15-20 min): Coach demonstrates and breaks down punches, combos, or defensive moves.
Workout Rounds (20-25 min): Putting skills to work on bags, mitts, or in partner drills using constant movement.
Cool-down & Core (5-10 min): Static stretching and abdominal work.

Question 8

Do you offer open gym hours where I can train on my own?

Accepted Answer

H.T.D NYC does not offer open gym hours for general members or individual clients to train on their own at either location—including our UWS (Upper West Side) location.

However, we do allow approved independent trainers to use our 10 Fulton Street (Seaport) location for open gym drop-in sessions with their own clients.

Please note: open gym access for independent trainers is not available at our UWS location.

To become an approved independent trainer at our Seaport location, you must:

Hold valid personal trainer insurance
Go through our vetting process, which includes a background check

Once approved, you're welcome to train your clients at our Seaport location during designated open gym hours.

For all other clients—whether you're joining group classes, semi-private sessions, personal training, or courses—training remains instructor-led and coach-guided to ensure proper form, safety, and results.

If you're an independent trainer interested in the vetting process, please reach out to us at info@htdnyc.com for more information.

Question 9

I have an old injury/medical condition. Can I still participate?

Accepted Answer

Due to the high-intensity, dynamic nature of boxing—which includes explosive movements, impact, and strenuous conditioning—our group classes are not a suitable or safe environment for managing existing injuries or medical conditions.

Your safety is our absolute priority. We cannot provide the individualized medical supervision or modifications required in a group setting.

Our strong recommendation is this:

First, obtain written clearance from your physician or physical therapist for high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and impact activities.
If cleared, contact us to discuss the possibility of private one-on-one sessions. This is the only format where our coaches can properly tailor a program to work around your specific limitations in a controlled and safe manner.

We appreciate your understanding that this policy is in place to prevent further injury and ensure a safe, productive environment for all our members.

Question 10

Can class packages be shared between family and friends?

Accepted Answer

For administrative and liability reasons, our class packages, private sessions, courses, and memberships are non-transferable and registered to a single individual. This policy helps us ensure the correct tracking of attendance and progress and ensures our waiver and safety protocols are properly maintained for each participant.

If you'd like to treat a family member or friend to the boxing experience, we highly recommend purchasing a Gift Card. This allows them the flexibility to choose their own package or class type and register under their own name. It’s the perfect gift for any fitness enthusiast! You can purchase digital gift cards directly on our website.

Question 11

Do you need gloves?

Accepted Answer

Loaner gloves? Free. Hand wraps? For sale. Own gloves? Bring them.

Question 12

Do you have showers?

Accepted Answer

Currently, we do not have showers available at our locations.

Question 13

Do we teach Muay Thai or Kickboxing?

Accepted Answer

No, we do not offer Muay Thai or kickboxing classes. Our program focuses exclusively on traditional boxing fundamentals combined with high-intensity interval training (HIIT).

What we teach:

Boxing technique (punches, footwork, defense)
Boxing-specific conditioning
Self-defense applications from boxing
High-intensity fitness circuits

What we don't teach:

Kicks (Muay Thai, kickboxing, martial arts kicks)
Elbow or knee strikes
Clinching techniques
Any martial arts beyond boxing

Our classes are pure boxing—gloves, bags, mitts, and HIIT workouts—no kicking is involved.

Question 14

Will I get hit or have to spar?

Accepted Answer

No. Our regular group classes are non-contact in terms of person-to-person hitting. You will strike focus mitts (held by a coach) and heavy bags.

Question 15

How often do you teach the youth boxing class?

Accepted Answer

Our dedicated Youth Boxing class for athletes ages 8 to 16 is held once per week on Saturdays at 12:00 PM and is offered only at our UWS location.

Question 16

What if I lost or left a personal belonging at the gym?

Accepted Answer

We maintain a lost and found at the front desk. If you realize you’ve left something behind, please contact us as soon as possible during business hours, and we will check for your item.

For the security of all belongings, we are not responsible for lost or stolen items. We strongly encourage you to keep your valuables with you at all times and use the cubbies or lockers provided for your other gear. Unclaimed items are disposed of periodically.

Question 17

I am over 60 years old. Can I join your regular group boxing classes?

Accepted Answer

While our regular group classes are designed with an intensity and pace that present significant liability risks for individuals over 60, we are deeply committed to helping everyone find a safe and effective path to fitness.

We would be happy to discuss the option of private one-on-one instruction. Private sessions allow for activities to be fully customized, closely monitored, and tailored to any specific health considerations, ensuring a safe and rewarding experience.
