At Elite we have members that travel from all over the Greater Manchester area including Chorley, Wigan and Stockport but the most dedicated member has to be Tamas Munaski who box’s amateur for the club. He peddles his bike from Moss side in Manchester to the train station gets the train to Bolton and then peddles from Bolton town centre to the gym where he trains for an hour then does the same to get home.
Tamas has boxed at several amateur clubs has improved his record since joining the club and has won his last three bouts. This shows the quality of the gym as Tamas travels past lots of other boxing gym on his travel from Manchester.
Hopefully Tamas who is originally from Hungary will go from from strength to strength and improve his boxing record even further. He is sparring with all the professionals in the gym and more than holding his own too!!

Boxing training is perfect for anyone looking to improve there fitness or to lose weight you don’t have to be a fighter to come down to Elite and get fit or to get in shape.
The type of training that all fighters go through is beneficial for anyone interested in losing weight as is it interval type training which helps improves a fighters recovery in between rounds by getting the heart rate up and then bringing it back down.
Also the boxers are put through circuit training this type of training works most of your body muscles with various exercises including abdominal exercises, upper body exercises and leg exercises. All of these exercises are used to improve the strength, conditioning and power of the boxer.
At Elite Boxing we always change our sessions around and introduce new training methods and exercises which shocks the body’s muscles and keeps them adapting and becoming stronger and more conditioned.
With these two types of training and with the inclusion of weight training as long as the diet is good, the body will use up its fat stores and help tone your body. By adding lean muscle but getting rid of your body fat you will see a big change in your body’s shape. People who crash diet and for example cut out all there carbs will lose weight but also muscle so there body shape will stay the same although they have lost weight on the scales this isn’t body fat but muscle tissue.

For anybody that is competing in boxing or anyone who is training in boxing, healthy eating or dieting is massively important as a way of giving you the fuel and energy to train.
Too many people try to lose weight by cutting carbohydrates out of their diet completely. This is a bad idea as it will effect how you train. Remember, carbohydrates are your fuel and if your body isn’t using them to train it will be using muscle.
A big mistake people make is that they think that if they don’t eat carbs their body will use up its fat stores. This is not true as the body will think its starving and hold onto the fat and use muscle instead of fat or carbs.
The result of this is that you might lose two stone but its not fat its muscle so your body shape doesn’t change your still the same shape just lighter and a lot weaker. At Elite we offer healthy eating plans as well as exercise plans so that your body has enough protein and carbohydrates so you use up your body fat and build lean muscle so while losing weight your body shape will also change.
The only types of carbs you should avoid is fast releasing carbs that contain sugar like fizzy drinks or sweets. The best types of carbs for you are slow releasing carbs like jacket potatoes and if possible brown pasta, brown rice and brown bread instead of the white variety. The only time you should really consume fast releasing carbs is after a training session this is to aid recovery one of the best types of recovery is cnp’s pro recover, the glucose in this recovery shake elevates your body’s blood sugar levels to start your recovery process.
Eating or not eating carbs is one of the main problems in people’s eating plans its important to choose the right kind of foods to eat before you train and after but you should experiment with what works for you.
You should always make sure you eat a healthy varied diet whether training or not and remember to stay hydrated with at least two litres of water each day.
I hope this helps, however this is just some basic information, if you need any more info why not book in for free lesson? with our varied training methods and our small private classes its like having a personal trainer at at a fraction of the price!
come and give us a try the best in private training in the Manchester area!!

Congratulations to Scott Mitchell who won his second professional MMA fight in the second round by ground and pound the fight was at the Liverpool Olympia AFC event.
His opponent James Walker put up a great fight catching Scott with some knees stood up and pressing Scott back with some good boxing combinations, however he was no match for Scott on the ground which is where the fight finished with some great work.
This is great progress for Scott who sharpens up his boxing skills and technique at Elite Boxing in Bolton who is now un defeated and looking good, this bout was a candidate for the fight of the night.
Congratulations again to Scott Mitchell another quality win!!!

Combination punching in boxing is massively important , it is also very important to throw your punches with variety. There are three types of punches in boxing – straight shots, hooks and uppercuts but there are endless combinations and ways of throwing them. A lot of boxers throw the same combinations over and over which can be become predictable and therefore becomes easy for your opponent or sparring partner to figure out.
For a great example of combination punching watch a fighter such as Joe Calzaghe or Manny pacquiao because of there hand speed plus the combinations of punches they throw is it hard to stop all the punches getting through even the tightest of defences. However you don’t have to be the best fighter in the world for combinations to work for you.
The way that combination punching works is that is you throw one punch it is easy to block but by throwing three or four you are that many more times likely to land the shots, also one shot will set somebody up or open up the target for another shot, for example the jab to the body sets up the right hand to the head.
A good way of throwing your combinations is by switching the attack by this I mean hitting the body and then the head or by hitting the head then the body.
some good basic combinations are -
jab to the head, straight right to the body then left hook to the head
jab, left hook then straight right to the head
double jab to the head straight right hand to the body
At Elite boxing we teach variety with all our combinations and practise throwing common combinations such as the jab right hand and left hook in reverse this gives the boxer a lot of variety and gives your opponent more problems.

Tamas Munaski who trained at Elite Boxing in Bolton won again in stunning fashion he stopped his opponent who travelled from Ireland to box at the moss side fire station on the 11/06/11.
He started off brilliantly giving his tricky opponent a standing eight count in the first round his opponent started to pull it back but and in the second round started brightly until Tamas caught him with another body shot and gave him a standing count he then piled on the pressure and eventually stopped him!
Tamas has come on leaps and bounds since coming to Elite Boxing and this is his second stoppage win in a row!!
At Elite we coach everyone from complete novices to amateur boxers all the way up to professional fighters so get in touch.
Well done again to Tamas who is improving with every fight!!!

After recently having my second child and feeling fat and frumpy! I decided to try out a few local gym’s, the ones I tried were either un-friendly ,un-challenging or a little boring and dull and I often found myself un-comfortably hanging around waiting my turn to use the equipment and with me being a busy mum of two with little spare time this really didn’t appeal to me! I knew i was determined and serious about getting fit and back in shape but I wanted maximum results in minimum time so after hearing about Elite boxing I thought I’d go along and try their ladies only classes. I was really nervous about walking into a boxing gym which is predominantly associated with males! but i needn’t have worried, all the girls were really friendly and made me feel welcome as did the instructors who are all really down to earth and not at all intimidating as I’d imagined. The class consists of ladies and girls of all shapes, sizes, ages and fitness abilities and everyone works to their own ability but there’s lots of encouragement to dig deeper, push harder and improve your fitness level during each lesson. The gyms I’d visited previously left me feeling flat and like I’d wasted my time but walking out from my first lesson i knew i was hooked and came home on a high! The ladies only lessons focus mainly on improving fitness levels with the potential to burn over 500 calories during any 1hr lesson which in a conventional gym would have probably taken me more than 2 hours to achieve!. Technique is also taught and the instructors are really flexible and will happily adapt the lesson were possible to suit you’ve only got to ask! The thought of having to spar with another girl left me worried! But you don’t spar and it’s all non-contact (not unless that’s what you want to do of course!) the classes are so varied that you’ll never get bored. When I first started i honestly couldn’t do one set of sit-ups and now I can do them no problem! I’ve dropped a dress size in a matter of weeks and i now fit back into my pre-pregnancy clothes, I’m much more toned and my dreaded baby belly has almost gone! Leaving me feeling much more confident. My fitness levels have improved massively too. So if like me you want maximum weightless results with a friendly team who take an interest and know what they’re talking about then get yourself down to Elite boxing and try something a bit different that actually works!!..
