About Boxfit
Personal Training, Real Community – Since 1997
Boxfit is not your average fitness program — it’s a personal, hands-on training experience built around you. Founded by Dave Coard in 1997, Boxfit blends the structure and discipline of boxing with the energy of group exercise and the precision of personalised coaching. It’s a fitness community built on real relationships, real results, and a real commitment to helping every individual succeed — from beginners to elite athletes.
Meet Dave Coard – The Man Behind Boxfit
Dave’s journey into fitness began in his teenage years, competing in amateur boxing. His passion quickly evolved into a career when he became a qualified boxing coach, launching his own local boxing club. But Dave didn’t stop there — his growing interest in all forms of exercise inspired him to create a more inclusive, adaptable training method.
That method became Boxfit: a dynamic blend of traditional boxing drills, circuit-style training, and personal coaching that caters to all fitness levels.
A Training Style That’s 100% Personal
What makes Boxfit different? Dave trains alongside you.
There are no generic fitness apps, no copy-paste routines. Every workout is uniquely crafted to match your abilities, goals, and energy on the day. Whether you're in a 1-to-1 personal training session or part of a group class, Dave is right there with you, guiding, adjusting, and motivating.
This completely bespoke approach helps clients stay consistent, build confidence, and enjoy the process, not just the results.
From Circuits to Ironman – Evolving With You
Boxfit began as a circuit training class for all levels, held twice a week and rooted in the movements boxers use to stay fit, fast, and strong. These classes are still at the heart of Boxfit today and continue to bring together people who value hard work, high energy, and community.
As the Boxfit community grew, so did demand for 1-to-1 Personal Training. Dave gained advanced qualifications to deliver tailored programs that support weight loss, muscle gain, injury rehab, and everything in between.
Later, inspired by his own success in duathlons and triathlons, Dave competed in - and completed - three full Ironman races around the world. This led to the creation of Boxfit Tri, an official British Triathlon Federation–registered club, offering elite-level triathlon coaching to individuals and teams.
