My name is Guy Brightman and I am the boxing coach at Taurus Gym. My boxing qualification to teach has been awarded by the ABAE (formally the ABA), and I am currently working towards my senior and advanced coach qualification. I am lucky enough to have been taught by one of nations top coaches who has represented England at national, European, Commonwealth and Olympic events for the last 30 years. Not only do I teach at Taurus gym but I also help coach at Apollo gym in Torquay. If you have any questions about the classes I will be running please feel free to approach me in the gym or call for more information.

It’s an excellent cardio vascular workout for the whole body. An extra benefit is how great and empowered you feel after a work out. Boxing for fitness is not an easy ride; it’s pretty hard work, but worth it, and as always you can work at your own pace. Picking up the basic technique is relatively straightforward and will only take a few sessions. So if you are looking for rapid tone and weight loss then boxing is worth taking a look at. Activities during the class will involve warming up, technique work (the how’s whys and do’s and don’ts of boxing), circuit work including general body weight exercise (such as press ups, standing jumps, lunges, abdominal work etc.) and pad and bag work out.


If you’ve never been before, simply turn up to class 10 min early for a quick chat before we get you started. Bring a t-shirt and shorts (or tracky bottoms). Alternatively, you are very welcome to come and watch any of the sessions first and meet the instructor and students.

The hardest part is turning up - once you are here, you will love it!

Taurus Boxing is female, beginner, junior and student friendly. There is no intimidation and no bullying. We have a safe, friendly environment.
