The Studio Box workout has been created to maximise your fitness potential. Pumping sounds and choreographed lighting stimulate the senses and keep you on your toes.
Studio Box will pit you against your fiercest opponent – yourself. Push yourself to limits you didn’t know you were capable of in this non-contact class. We’ll help you keep getting fitter and stronger, in under an hour. Some of the country’s finest instructors will guide you from a dynamic warm-up, through ten rounds of boxing-inspired fitness and strength training, to a restorative cool down.
Our workouts are designed to allow everyone to go at their own pace. We'll teach you everything you need to know.
No, but all of our classes are suitable for beginners. Trainers offer modifications for all of the exercises we do, so there are options for all levels. We also offer private coaching if you’d like to learn some one-on-one technique before you step into a class setting, but it’s certainly not a prerequisite.

Seven days of classes are always available for booking.
If the class you want to attend is full, you can join a waitlist. As people cancel, you will be automatically added in the order that you signed up. After the 8-hour mark, we will call you if we are able to secure you a spot in the class. We can only hold the spot if we're able to reach you; otherwise, we will release it to the next guest on the waitlist. That said we always encourage waitlisted guests to come to the studio, as we are often able to get guests in on a walk-in basis.
All we ask is that if you are not going to be able to make the class, you cancel at least 8 hours prior. This allows us to make sure someone else gets that bag if you can’t make it! Anything cancelled less than 8 hours before class starts is a late cancel, and you do forfeit the class.
If you book a class and don’t show up, you will lose your class credit.
If you are outside the 8-hour no-cancellation window, you can always move to another class (that’s not already sold out). If you would like to attempt a same day switch, which is permitted without losing a credit (subject to availability), please email us at contact@studio-box.co.
We recommend arriving at the studio 15 minutes before a class for check-in.
Come introduce yourself to us at the front desk and mention that it is your first time. We’ll make sure one of our team shows you around and that you’re well taken care of.
To ensure that you don’t lose your spot to someone on the waitlist, please arrive at least five minutes prior to the start of your class. To be respectful of others, there will be no entry five minutes after the class has started.

An increased metabolism

Increased cardiovascular fitness
Improved strength and core stability
Improved hand-eye coordination

A Studio Box class is HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training), strength training, conditioning, and cardio all in one - making it an incredible total body workout. The combination of cardio and strength training will allow you to burn calories without bulking up. Our aqua bags reduce the impact on your joints, and the shape increases trainer visibility so that you'll never feel lost during class. During exercise endorphins are released, meaning after our class you’ll walk out feeling happier too!
Our workouts keep your body guessing, making it nearly impossible to hit a weight loss plateau, and even less likely for you to get bored. The back and forth between aerobic and anaerobic exercise means you're training on an entirely new level. Even better, the boost in your metabolism ensures you'll be burning calories throughout the class, and long after you leave.
