Simone ' s (mind over matter) boxing class time table

I really recommend Simone's Mummies boxing classes. Brilliant way to get back into shape and a great atmosphere where you can bring along your babies and no one minds if you have to pop and attend to them. The level was great too, some cardio and abs work alongside the boxing.. And I felt like I had a great workout without feeling out of my depth, even when feeling really unfit after pregnancy. Great fun!

I can second the above. I had a c section and have been desperate to get back to exercise and this has been brilliant cardio for me whilst strengthening my core. When the other girls are doing abs I have some alternatives to do. Being able to bring our babies has been really great. Its such a lovely relaxed set up that it just doesn't matter of you have to tend to your baby/child. Even Simone (the teacher) has her little boy Alex there. But don't be fooled, this is not just a fluffy DanceBox thing - you learn real technique and you definitely sweat! I am so pleased I can actually get a workout now and start to feel more like me :)

Anyone looking for authentic boxing PT and or classes Simone is the one to train with. I have been training with her for over a month now doing both Personal Training and her Sunday Women's class. I would like to say that training in all women's space is amazing. I used to train at a regular boxing gym and the atmosphere is completely different to say the least. Simone treats everyone individually, giving everyone opportunity to work at their own speed but also pushing you to do better for yourself but she also knows how to get the group together to support one another making it more of community. When I first contacted Simone she was so lovely and encouraging. So welcoming by insisting that I do her Sunday class which was only a couple hours after we spoke. She greeted me at the door and made me feel safe right away. I am quite shy.

AND her prices are affordable! She offers Personal Training for two or three which makes the price cheaper and accessible. Her classes are also very accessible!

I am so blessed to have found her at a very crucial time in my life. I highly recommend her!!!!!!

I would highly recommend Simone for her classes/ personal training ( i have done both- and am still doing PT sessions due to work commitments)


Simone's classes - fun + a brilliant work out! And its so easy to bring your children with you to the class! so there is no excuse not to turn up! I usually find group exercises daunting/ intimidating but i have not found this with Simone's classes! Everyone in the group is so friendly and it really makes your session good because its often difficult to exercise in a group if no one talks to eachother.


Personal training is even better! Although i am slow at exercising( never really did much before , and post pregnancy i tried zumba for mummies somewhere else but it wasn't for me) i was warmed up correctly ( in the past i/e zumba i could not move for days due to not warming up right!) and stretched out at the end by Simone.

First bit of exercise after having a child two years ago and I perhaps could have chosen something softer - after all, how tough can a bit of boxing be?! I chose the Monday night class as I couldn't make the daytime sessions and not only do I feel like I've been rugby tackled by 20 men, I feel amazing! The hour and a half flew by, the other ladies there were very friendly and we were all in the same boat (it's ladies only which is great if you're a bit self conscious like me). The class - if you can call it that (it's more like a boxing bootcamp full of real technique and with all of the proper equipment) was run by one tough cookie who obviously has a passion for boxing which really comes across and she still remains human and supportive. If you're worried about doing something different - I was, but I'm so glad I happened upon this little gem in East Dulwich - 10min warm up, technique training, spar sessions with pads, circuits and warm down and one very tight backside one day later! A great way to start 2015! Don't "knock" it til you've tried it ;)

There is now a space going on Friday night group PT . A small group of 5 people all with the same aim ... to lose weight / tone up / get fit. Cheaper than having 1-2-1 but still get my individual attention. Personal training based on boxing fundamentals


PM me for more info

Hi CurlyKaren sounds like family boxing on a sunday 2pm - 3.30pm is the class for you. 6 is a good age to introduce a child to boxing, I've been teaching my boys since 2/3 physically they can do it but mentally their still too young.


I'll PM for you to book in.


Simone

    • A repetitive tried and tested cycle that seems to be slowing down in London thankfully. Brixton was the start. Councils consciously and purposely let an area decline until that area is next on the list for social and ethnic cleansing and ultimately gentrification. In come the first wave of arty/ creatives to squat and house share. A few coffee shops and cool but inexpensive cafe/ bars and art spaces open up. The crackheads, dealers and other assorted criminals who were once left to operate openly and brazenly to sell, shop lift, mug, beg, purchase,  publicly consume on decent folks doorsteps, stairwells,in bin sheds and without fear of the law begin to be targeted, rounded up and moved on. A few more jaunty and sustainable coffee shops/ bars appear . The Guardian and other facilitators in the media jump on the bandwagon, first claims of vibrancy are rolled out. Next step a few cool retro clothing shops pop up selling ' reclaimed Levi's for more than they originally cost and ten times the price of what the recently departed charity shop charged. Foxtons open a branch and the arty types and first wavers/ drivers have there first moan about there initially paltry rents going up. The guardian do a generic lets move to Brixton, Dalston, Hackney, Deptford, Walthamstow type double pager. Interview a graphic designer or two who have just bought a former crack den on the manor for next to peanuts. They will later bemoan the next wave who have more money than them. Cool, edgy and vibrant are now the buzzword bingo must use lingo. Few more coffee shops ( how original ) Pop up everything,. Organic and sour dough move in. The night time economy starts to thrive, more cool bars and eateries open. More squats and the last crack house that was once one of many are cleared out. Second wave is around the corner.   All of a sudden there's a visible police presence again and the streets are safe for fun seekers with plenty of disposable cash to chuck about on a dose of vibrancy with added coolness. By this stage even the locally brewed beer is organic. There's queues outside the newly arrived organic, sourdough, artisan and sustainable bakers. Instagram has Brixton trending. The greasy spoon of thirty year has gone cause the lease is up and the landlord has hiked the rents up by 60/70%. Followed by small family run independents that served the community  for decades and more.  The local characters, activists, eccentrics are getting less and less. There's a new show in town for a week or two and until the next brand arrives. Brewdog move in. Former job centres are converted into bars but peak edginess means it's still called the job centre. Followed by a couple more chain eateries. The resident DJ'S and music venues are replaced by another generic brand boasting guest chefs. The Guardian lifestyle section is now on it's fifth or sixth orgasm. Turn a few pages and hypocrisy is rampant with articles on the evils of gentrification, foxtons, capitalism, social cleansing and unaffordable housing. The middle classes continue to arrive in there droves to buy into the vibrancy and multiculturalism supposedly on offer. There isn't much multiculturalism going on at the packed latest place to eat, drink and fart. The multiculturalism on show comes in the form of bar staff, doorman and cheap as chips uber drivers and delivery workers. Rice and peas, jerk everything, red stripe at six quid a can from some hipster haunt that is currently flavour of the month and the place to be seen. The first wavers are now blaming the latest hedge funded brand that's pulled into town for driving gentrification and there soon to be hastened departure to be first wavers again somewhere else. Less cool but up and coming here we come. Covid has certainly helped/ been a factor in slowing down the process of gentrification. I also think it may be the driver for almost putting a stop to it. Remote working, less need to move to London to be near an office, less disposable cash, sky high rents, worthless degrees that relied on that disposable cash , different priorities, knife and gang crime and a large dose of much needed realism has put a huge spanner in the works for the shitty process and cycle that is/ was the gentrification and social cleansing of working class London. Manchester and Liverpool is next on the list for the planners. Thankfully.
    • Can you just queue up to withdraw cash or are other transactions like stamp purchasing required?  Do M&S do cash back?
    • Or don't stop using cash. Stop using your phone or even your watch as a banknote. At the same time avoid the risk of having your card cloned at cash points, by hand held card readers, oyster readers and point-of sale terminals to name a few. God only knows how much damage we're doing to the planet because all the above must require a hell of a lot of resources and juice from the grid. It won't happen though. I know of quite a few people who deem carrying cash about as a pain/ chore. But not a big lump of plastic with a screen and full of personal information that can be easily gleamed. I feel the same about carrying a phone about so i don't most of the time. I'll be in the minority but certainly don't see or treat a phone as a necessity.  You can't get a banknote out of your sky rocket with a phone in your hand. It's become a source of dopamine for many. It's an addiction for many. They're an easy target for thieves. They're a godsend to cyber fraudsters who are stealing billions and are doing so without the need of cash points.
