FitForce runs private boxing personal training in Dubai at your home, building gym or outdoors. Sessions last 60 minutes and cover technique, footwork and conditioning, with no sparring unless you ask for it and your coach judges you ready. Your coach brings gloves, pads and wraps, and the first session is free.
Boxing training without the boxing gym
Boxing training in Dubai has grown fast, and not only among people who want to fight. Boxing is one of the most demanding forms of conditioning there is, and one of the few where you are too busy concentrating to notice how hard you are working. Learning to throw a proper jab takes real attention. So does keeping your guard up while your legs are burning. That focus is why people who find treadmills unbearable will happily do six rounds on the pads.
What puts most people off is the setting — a boxing gym can be intimidating if you have never trained in one, and plenty of them are built around fighters rather than beginners. Training privately removes that entirely. It is you, a coach, and a set of pads, wherever you are comfortable.
Our boxing coaches come from real combat sports backgrounds rather than a general certificate: Tony is a certified boxing trainer and CrossFit Level 1 coach, Nemanja is a certified boxing trainer and former professional basketball player, and Nikola coaches boxing and kickboxing. Women who prefer a female coach can box with Silvia or Violeta.
Who coaches boxing at FitForce
Coaches matched by what you want from boxing.
| Coach | Background | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Tony | Certified boxing trainer, CrossFit Level 1, 10+ years | Conditioning-heavy boxing, athletic performance |
| Nemanja | Certified boxing trainer, ex-professional basketball player | Footwork, coordination, strength alongside boxing |
| Nikola | Boxing and kickboxing, IFBB licence | Technique and combinations, returning boxers |
| Silvia | Experienced boxing trainer focused on cardio and technique | Women's boxing at home |
| Violeta | Functional training, HIIT and boxing; former national-level judo athlete | Women's boxing, fitness boxing |
Every coach brings gloves, pads and hand wraps; about two by two metres of clear floor is enough.
Who is boxing training for?
Anyone bored of conventional cardio.
The most common reason people book. Boxing is interval training that does not feel like interval training.
Complete beginners who have never thrown a punch.
Most clients start here. The first few sessions are stance, guard and the jab — nothing else.
People carrying a lot of stress.
Hitting pads hard is a legitimate outlet, and most clients say it is the part of their week they look forward to.
Clients wanting coordination and reaction speed.
Boxing demands both in a way that almost no gym exercise does.
Returning boxers.
If you trained years ago and want to get the technique back without committing to a club, private sessions are the fastest route.
How far do you want to take it?
The biggest question people have about boxing is whether they will get hit. The answer depends entirely on which of these you are after, and most clients never leave the first.
Fitness boxing
NO CONTACT
Pads, bagwork and conditioning, with no sparring at any point. You learn real technique because bad technique makes for bad conditioning — but nobody hits you. Where the large majority of our clients stay.
Technical boxing
SKILL FOCUS
For clients who want the craft. Defensive movement, counters, combinations under fatigue, ring awareness. Still no obligation to spar, but the work becomes noticeably more technical.
Sparring preparation
BY REQUEST
Controlled, supervised sparring for clients who ask for it and are ready. Protective equipment is required, intensity is capped, and your coach decides when you are prepared rather than you.
What happens in a session?
A private boxing session runs 60 minutes. It opens with a warm-up focused on shoulders, hips and ankles, then moves into technical work — usually one or two things to fix rather than ten. From there it is rounds on the pads, typically three minutes with a minute's rest, mirroring how the sport is actually structured. Conditioning fills whatever time is left.
The cardiovascular case for this is well established. Harvard Health's write-up on fitness boxing notes that it constantly requires you to think, change position and change posture — which is why it builds coordination and balance alongside the obvious aerobic benefit, and why it is increasingly recommended for older adults rather than only for fighters. Your coach brings gloves, pads and wraps. All you need is enough space to move in a few directions.
What is included
A free assessment session before you commit to anything
Gloves, pads and hand wraps brought by your coach
Technical coaching, not just a workout with gloves on
Conditioning programmed around your fitness, not a fighter's
Nutrition guidance where it is part of your plan
How quickly will you pick it up?
The jab and a basic guard come together within two or three sessions. Moving properly takes longer — footwork is the part beginners underestimate, and it is usually a month or so before it stops feeling deliberate. Combinations under fatigue take longer still, because technique is the first thing to fall apart when you are tired.
Fitness moves faster than skill. Most clients notice their conditioning improving within three to four weeks, well before their boxing looks like boxing. Shoulders and forearms tend to complain in the first fortnight, which passes.
Boxing also pairs well with mobility work: the sport asks a lot of your hips and upper back, and clients who add stretching to the programme tend to move better and stay injury-free.
Where you can box in Dubai
Your coach travels to you, with pads rounds outdoors in the cooler months and indoors from around May. Boxing sessions run in tower gyms in Dubai Marina and JBR and Business Bay, on terraces and in gardens in Jumeirah and Arabian Ranches, and across the rest of the city.

Frequently asked questions
No. Sparring only happens if you ask for it and your coach judges you ready. Most clients train for years on pads and bags without ever sparring, and get everything they came for.
No. Your coach brings gloves, pads and wraps. If you would rather have your own gloves eventually, your coach will tell you what to look for — there is no need to buy anything up front.
Yes, and most do. The first sessions cover stance, guard and the jab. Nothing is assumed, and nobody is thrown in at the deep end.
Yes. Women can book private boxing sessions at home or in a building gym, and our female coaches Silvia and Violeta teach boxing. Mention it when you get in touch.
Yes. The conditioning is scaled to you — rounds get shorter, rests get longer, and the intensity builds as your fitness does. Boxing looks brutal on television because you are watching professionals.
Yes, with parental consent. Boxing is one of the more popular options within our teen fitness programme, and sessions are adjusted for growing bodies.
Sessions last 60 minutes and cost between AED 250 and AED 390, depending on the package you choose. Your first session is free, so you can meet your coach before you decide on anything.
A class follows the room. In a private session every correction is aimed at you, which is why technique improves considerably faster — and why nobody is watching while you learn.
