Fitness 4 All Boxercise offers high-energy workouts

PERRYSBURG — Fitness 4 All Boxercise is open for business.

Owners Michael Farrar and Keith Zoeller designed the facility for high-energy workouts for all fitness levels, in hopes of combining boxing and fitness for a unique workout experience.

“In the last 15 years, I have worked with pros and amateurs and ran a club in the north part of Toledo. There was a nonprofit after school program and when that club closed, there was leftover equipment,” said Farrar. “I met with my friend Keith Zoeller, who runs Fitness4All and has been successful in the gym business for years. I talked to him about a concept where we meld boxing and fitness together and sort of where circuit training meets boxing.”

Farrar and Zoeller came up with this club concept, where people can come in and participate in four exercises, with three-minute rounds and a one-minute rest. Afterwards, they go to the bag station, which is a four-way station. There are also three-minute rounds with a one-minute rest.

There are instructions on how to hit the bags and there’s instructions up on the video board. At the end of the rounds, 30-, 45- and 60-minute routes are available. When the participants get through those, they finish off with either some technical training, double-ended bag striking or net work with a coach.

“As far as pricing is concerned, we will be doing a special for the first 100 people. The price will be like most of your typical boxing facilities. We are combining the two concepts (gym and boxing facilities),” said Zoeller. “We will be changing the exercises continuously. The trainers will help direct you on the correct form and teach you while you are doing the exercise. The trainers will adapt the workout to the skill level of whoever is on the turf.”

There will be roving coaches in the gym. Participants will end up in the ring doing some sort of movement as a cool-down exercise.

“There is a window of time when we are closed for personal training, which is from 11:30 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday,” Zoeller said. “People can come in and reserve a time to meet with a personal trainer. Afterwards (at night), we’ll bring in teams of people to train.”

The address of the new boxercise facility is 25666 Dixie Highway.

Tentative hours are Monday-Friday, 6-11:30 a.m. and 4:30-8 p.m.; and Saturday, 8 a.m.-1 p.m.
