A new women’s boxing class in Pontypool is proving a hit with women looking to get fitter, feel stronger and meet new people in a supportive environment.
Held every Sunday from 10am to 11am at Pontypool Boxing Club (Unit 6, Pavilion Industrial Estate, Pontnewynydd, NP4 6NF), the weekly session is open to all women of all abilities – from complete beginners to those who’ve boxed before. There’s no need to book, and it costs £5 per session.
Coaches say the class is designed to be fun, friendly and confidence‑boosting, with a mix of pad work, technique, fitness drills and boxing exercises. The focus is on helping women feel comfortable, empowered and part of a welcoming group.
It’s described as a chance to “get fit, build confidence and have fun” while training alongside other like‑minded women.
There’s no need to book. You just turn up for 10am on Sunday.
