One of the worlds oldest, and most celebrated sports, boxing, has proven to be popular among many people, for a variety of reasons. From its emergence in ancient Greece, through early 18 century England where it was considered the "gentle" art of self defense (albeit a bare-knuckle form of defense), and an introduction of the Marquess of Queensbury rules (1866; scoring system that required gloves), boxing has continually been refined and perfected.

In the 21st century, professional boxing attracts major sponsorship deals and makes fighters millionaires. Amateur boxing is also growing exponentially, with those looking for a challenge attracted by the allure of the benefits to be realized. Indeed, boxing is increasing in popularity almost daily, with movies like Million Dollar Baby & Cinderella Man and massive pay-per-view events attracting millions of watchers. It is a difficult task to find a health club that does not incorporate a boxing for fitness program. However, there are few health clubs that offer the expertise of a professional boxing trainer.

Boxing has become a global phenomenon with tremendous cross-over appeal - the fitness industry has latched on to the boxing popularity with box-out classes and the like. Why has boxing become immensely popular among people with no aspiration to compete and how does one become proficient at its practice? The answer to the former question is simple, boxing breaks up the monotony of stair climbing to nowhere and typical weight training programs. The answer to the latter question is equally simple; Dyme Boxing & Fitness is the answer.
