KOBOX Boxing Club, London’s original HIIT boxing class, debuts exclusively at Thrive Festival at The Convention Centre Dublin on 30th & 31st March.

Irishman Shane Collins, founder of KOBOX Boxing Club, brings his team outside of London for the first time to give you an exclusive, first-hand experience of the boxing studio that’s taken the fitness world by storm. Founded in 2015, it has led the way with its unique ‘Fight Club Meets Nightclub’ class experience – teaching the fundamentals of boxing alongside a host of heart-pounding exercises – and now Collins is bringing KOBOX home for the very first time, exclusively for Thrive Festival.

With a plethora of high-profile celebrities among is fans, including Rosie Huntington-Whitely, Jourdan Dunn and Guy Ritchie, KOBOX has changed the game in the way it delivers high energy, boxing-based workouts for everyone, regardless of their fitness levels or boxing experience. It will not only be the most fun cardio session of your week, but also the most educational.

Speaking about bringing KOBOX exclusively to Thrive Festival, founder Shane Collins says, “I’m incredibly excited to take KOBOX home, and to a venue that is so close to my heart. We may have made our mark in the fitness world in London but the concept and the idea was born in Dublin. Thrive Festival will give us an opportunity to showcase what we do… it’s Boxing. Just Not As You Know It. ”

Thrive Festival founder, Avril Bannerton said “We are extremely excited to welcome Shane and the team to Thrive Festival. It’s an amazing exclusive for us to get and we know that the KOBOX classes will be hugely popular. It is a major coup for us to have them join us at The Convention Centre, Dublin”

KOBOX joins names including Dr Hazel Wallace – The Food Medic, Gemma Atkinson, Jasmine Hemsley, Indy Power plus more as part of this very interactive event. Transforming your mind and body at The Convention Centre Dublin on March 30^th & 31^st, Thrive Festival will bring all aspects of healthy living/wellbeing together inside this very special venue. Thrive Festival is brought to you from the team behind Taste of Dublin. Over the two days you can experience new ways to Move, Learn, Discover and Nourish your mind plus body. Choose up to 5 experiences over 20 stages of fitness, talks, demonstrations, nutrition, mindfulness and wellness all indoors in one venue.

Just what does a KOBOX session entail?

It is a punch-by-numbers system to make it as easy as possible to learn and master the sweet science of boxing. Six punches. Six numbers.
These numbers are then arranged to form a series of boxing combinations which are projected on to the studio wall, making it easy for newcomers to get to grips with the basics.
The class is broken down into rounds. Once you’ve completed a round on the punch bag, you’ll switch to a wall station to perform a series of strength and conditioning exercises. Then you’re back on the bag, and you’ll repeat between the two…

Classes are designed to suit all fitness levels, and all levels of boxing experience, in a fun, safe and exciting environment. At KOBOX you get fit, without getting hit!
