BRISTOL, R.I. — ICON Boxing Club’s newest program “Fight Camp” includes interval exercises with new equipment at the gym’s facility. ICON offers four Fight Club classes per week. Classes occur Tuesday and Thursday 6:15-7 p.m. and 7:15- 8 p.m.
Interval training is high-intensity exercises alternated with a short time of rest. These higher and lower intensity periods are repeated several times. Benefits of interval training include improved cardiovascular fitness, increase athletic speed, improve aerobic power, burn more calories, increase workout duration and increase workout threshold.
“It’s not just for fighters. It certainly has some boxing centered drills, but any person can benefit from it,” said Jesse Amarelo, Owner and Founder of Icon Boxing Club, “interval training is the way to train.”
The latest addition to the gym includes The Gladiator Wall, which is designed for indoor strength and conditioning training. It allows a variation of isometric training and explosive power exercises.
“Fight Camp has a lot of versatility for athletes, boxers, and anybody looking to get stronger, faster and better shape,” said Amarelo, “that’s the idea, to get people stronger.”
