How do classes take place at the Circle?

C’est simple : 50 minutes d’entraînement qui alternent boxe et bootcamp. It all starts with a good warm-up to music accompanied by the best coaches in Paris (test it and you'll see). After the warm up either you start on the boxing side or on the bench side:

Boxing side, you work the 6 punches of boxing on aquabags. You chain different combos intense cardio to let off steam on the bags. C’est votre moment : lâchez vos meilleurs punchs !

Bench side you work upper body and lower body: glutes, thighs, abs, shoulders and your smile too. You also use dumbbells for a little more challenge in the exercises that you will have to do.

Pour vous motiver ne vous inquiétez pas on a ce qu’il faut : coaches with the potato (fairground) and quality playlists to cheer you up and give it your all!

After the 10 rounds, you take a few minutes for a little stretching and for congratulate you.

How long does a Le Cercle session last? 

Less than a successful episode of Game of Thrones, more than a failed Tinder date. Reality ? 50 minutes, from warm-up to exit from the Circle. But it’s just fun!

I've never been to a boxing gym in my life, is that a problem?

Absolutely not. You do not risk losing teeth. Firstly because the idea is to hit a bag of water. Then, because the coach reviews with YOU the 6 essential moves to know in boxing at the start of each session. 

What happens if I can't do all the exercises? I haven't trained in a long time...

You go out of the ring. No it's a joke. No stress to have, the coaches are there for each of you and offer more or less difficult alternatives for all levels.

Is there a course for beginners?

No, but all our sessions are accessible to beginners, intermediates, experienced… The idea is to be able to go with anyone and have a good time without judgment. Everyone can enter Le Cercle! 

Do I need to bring my own gloves?

Nope! Gloves will be lent to you at the reception of your boxing gym (plus, we don't want to brag, but they are stylish). However, if you prefer to bring your own lucky pair, be our guest!

Do you offer private sessions?

Quite ! For any questions, do not hesitate to send us an email to privatize@lecercle-boxing.com with all the necessary information. The Circle can be yours.

Where is your boxing gym located?

6, rue de Clignancourt, Paris 18
At the foot of the Butte Montmartre. On the right bank. Between the Anvers and Barbes metros. 

How to contact you?

Several ways (some are simpler than others but we'll let you guess): 

• email to: contact@lecercle-boxing.com

Chat (a bit like MSN at the time): directly at the bottom right of your browser
Homing pigeon: in this case, remember to tell him to take his sneakers, we will offer him a session.

And if you really got stuck in the 1990s and you no longer have internet credit, come see us, we will be happy to explain everything to you 😉 

What are the opening hours of your room?

The opening hours of your boxing gym are available on the reservation tab. But clearly, if you can't find a niche, you're not putting in the effort. 

Do you have lockers?

Of course ! You don't even need to bring a padlock, we take care of everything. Yes we know, we are very far-sighted. Other proof? If you run out of battery on your phone before the session, some lockers with a charger drawn on them are equipped with one! Obviously, if you prefer to lie to your girlfriend about why you didn't have time to go shopping, you can also not use the outlets.

Do you have water, where should I bring a bottle?

We sell water and bottles at reception but if you prefer to bring your own bottle, you will not be refused entry! However, a blood alcohol test will be carried out randomly once a month. JOKE.

Do I have to create an account?

Yes. It's very simple and it won't take you more than a minute. Shall we set the time? 

Should I buy a pack or a subscription?

No, not necessarily, you can buy the sessions individually if you prefer. And since we're super nice, for your first session, we'll give you our welcome offer: one session purchased = one session free! Obviously, you're going to like it, so see you soon? 

What are your different packs and subscriptions?

We offer different packs and subscriptions for the more or less motivated among you: 

• Pack: 5, 10, 20 or 40 sessions
• Subscription: 4 or 6 sessions/month or unlimited

   

You can find all the necessary information on the page pricing page.. I promise, you won't regret giving up your Netflix binge watching on the weekend. 

How does the waiting list work?

Okay, that's not bad, you've motivated yourself to book a session. But you arrive too late... You are on the waiting list when 48 people have registered for a session. It is possible that a customer cancels their visit, in this case, we will call you at least 2 hours before and send you an email to find out if you are still available. Otherwise, see you the next day?

Is placement free?

MOOD: “This is my spot. There are many others like him, but this is mine. I'm nothing without my spot. And without me my spot is nothing”. When booking your session, you choose your spot on our booker, your place number if you prefer. He will follow you throughout the session. No stress, it's not like lotto tickets, the number doesn't change the winnings.

When can I book my sessions?

Wake up and shine! Every Monday at 7 a.m., the week's schedule is posted online. Now is the time to book, so as not to miss the most stylish courses of the year. If you are more of the type who has to think before clicking, this is not a problem because thanks to the application, you can book anywhere: from the bottom of your bed, in the metro, at the coffee machine... 

Cool cool cool, but when should I book my session?

Really no specific instructions on this subject. But it's like everything, the best things go first. So if you want a niche and/or a very specific spot, we advise you to do it as soon as possible to put all the chances on your side.

How far in advance should I show up for the session?

It's best to arrive 15 minutes before the start of the session, just to put yourself in the right conditions, like Rocky before the matches. 

What should I do when I arrive there?

Introduce yourself ! Finally, don't start describing your interests, your faults and your qualities... you just have to give your first name when welcoming your Paris boxing club and go change. If it's your first time, don't worry, we'll explain everything to you (it'll go well)!  

What happens if I arrive late?

This is the point where we can't laugh... Really, we're very cool about everything, but the delay: it's touchy! In fact, the session is designed so that the warm-ups help you stay injury-free, so we can't let you miss them. And don't even try, even if you are a great athlete it will be the same verdict. You will therefore be refused access to the session in the event of a delay, and your session will be deducted.  

I have to cancel my session, what do we do?

If you cannot attend your session, you have several options: send us an email (contact@lecercle-boxing.com) or cancel your session directly from your account. However, the session must be canceled 12 hours in advance. Otherwise it will be deducted. This way, it gives you the opportunity to learn more and it opens up an additional place for a motivated boxer.

What are the benefits of boxing?

Beyond being cool, you mean? The Circle's sessions are 4 in 1: HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), muscle strengthening, METCON (metabolic conditioning) and cardio. You will see an improvement in your physical condition, your balance and your coordination, while burning more than 13 calories per minute. The best thing about aqua bags? They reduce shock on the joints and their shape allows you to see what is happening in front of you so you don't get lost during the session. In short, no risk of injury but the guarantee of surpassing yourself.

Our favorite part? The secretion of endorphins during the session which allows you to feel truly relaxed after each Circle session.  

Does boxing make muscles grow?

No, boxing will not “grow” your muscles but will strengthen them and tone your entire body. The cardio-strengthening combination allows you to burn calories without gaining muscle mass. 

Will I lose weight by boxing?

If you stop spritzing and McDonald's every Sunday, sport is clearly the solution to losing weight. And boxing is even more recommended! For what ? The combination of cardio and muscle strengthening directly impacts weight loss.  

I am pregnant, can I have a session?

Unfortunately no, the session is too physical for a pregnancy.

Why undergloves rather than good old bandages?

Why lighter shoes rather than our good old models from the 2000s? More seriously, the ancestral art of bandaging protects very well, but takes a lot of time before a session. The liner gloves give you the same protection, but can be put on and taken off in a quarter of a second. In short, it's cleaner since everyone has their own, it's faster... and we have the same sensations!
