If you want to experience the power and agility of boxing without risking a broken nose, Piloxing may be for you. Piloxing combines Pilates and boxing moves in a high-spirited interval workout and is a unique new fitness program that's gaining popularity worldwide, spurred on by celebrity converts.

Where Did Piloxing Come From?
The founder of Piloxing, Swedish dancer and celebrity trainer, Viveca Jensen, wanted to find a way for women to attain a self-image that's both powerful and sexy. Her solution was to create an exercise that uses weighted gloves and boxing movements to tone the arms, while incorporating the sculpting and flexibility of Pilates exercises. When experienced in a motivating class format, Piloxing delivers a fun yet challenging interval workout that includes playful, sexy dance moves.

Benefits of Piloxing
Jensen credits Piloxing with a host of health benefits, including:

  • Cardiovascular fitness through a core-focused interval workout
  • Muscle toning and sculpting without bulking, leading to firmer arms, thighs, and belly
  • Fat burning through a fun "fusion" activity

What Classes Are Like
A growing number of gyms have started to offer Piloxing classes by instructors trained specifically in the discipline. Piloxing classes are high-energy and may feature dance and club music, combined with moves from hip-hop, salsa, and ballet. Expect pink gloves, whooping, fist bumps, and an interactive class environment as the instructor and students urge each other on.
