In just one Box N Burn ten weight loss week challenge , the top five participants lost a staggering 131.5kgs between them and changed their lives for the better . Are you ready to change yours ?! Starting a new fitness regime and trying a new exercise like boxing can be very daunting , but Box N Burn has been specifically designed to work with all levels of fitness , from absolute beginners through to elite athletes .

After reading that the Hawkesbury was listed as the most obese area

in NSW , Box N Burn director Mark Hardman got together with boxing legend Johnny Lewis , to design a boxing / cardio program that would help the locals to get moving , increase their fitness , drop excess weight and improve mental health .

Knowing that boxing burns off more calories than any other sport , they held a one-off , ten week course which attracted over 150 people of all ages , shapes and sizes . The success and results were so staggering that Box N Burn was born !

The program is now held four times a year in seven locations and has changed the lives of thousands of people over the past 11 years .

A previous participant had this to say about the program :

“ I joined Box N Burn after battling bouts of depression and anxiety . I had low self esteem and only left the house if it was absolutely necessary . I had gained a lot of weight , and after receiving a flyer from a friend , we both decided to join .

“ It was the best thing I could have

done , for my confidence AND my health ! I started to feel less tired , more active , more sociable and the weight started to fall off . Food is the most over utilised medication and exercise is the most underutilised anti-depressant . Not only did I lose weight , I am the fittest I have ever been and am totally hooked on boxing .”

Low impact through to high impact groups smash through each hour of the specially designed program , building up fitness and intensity as the weeks progress .

Participants are encouraged to weigh in each week – not only for the $ 1,000 in prize money up for grabs – but to also be accountable to themselves and often , each other . The camaraderie of each challenge takes away the isolation of doing it “ on your own ”.

The participants encourage each other , seeing goals met and often exceeded , and on those tough weeks , support each other .

During the 10 week challenge , participants engage in boxing / cardio fitness , meet new friends , get great advice , change old habits and get motivated to make improvements in many aspects of their lives . Some of the participants have even gone so far in their fitness and weight loss journey that they are now running marathons , climbing mountains and some even becoming trainers for Box N Burn !

The average weight loss over the ten weeks for the participants who follow the provided meal plan and attend the two sessions per week is between 10-12 kilos . Those who put in daily physical activity average 15 kilos . Imagine where YOU could be in 10 weeks ’ time ?

The next challenge starts up again on October 9 . Registration details available on their website www . boxnburn . info or call Mark Hardman on 0408 401 488 .
