Bellafatto Boxing Academy is located in Redwood City, California, in a spacious converted warehouse turned boxing gym. Our facility has 1 indoor and 1 outdoor boxing ring, over 25 heavy bags from straight to uppercut, 8 double end bags, indoor/outdoor open floor space for exercise, a strength training area, and various training equipment traditionally found in boxing gymnasiums such as dumbbells, barbells, medicine balls, stability balls, jump ropes, and other assorted fitness apparatus. We offer beginning, intermediate, and advanced contact and non-contact boxing skills/strength & cardio conditioning classes for youth and adults, men and women alike. Current classes are held Monday-Thursday evenings 6:30-8pm, Saturdays 9-10:30am (for youth only ages 8-17 years), and Saturdays 10:30am-12:00pm. Please confirm class days and times as our schedule is subject to change. You can attend classes by either registering with the Redwood City Parks & Recreation Department (or other local Parks & Recreation Departments with whom we contract), or by directly purchasing a monthly membership with Bellafatto Boxing Academy at the rate of $60 monthly for adults, and $50 monthly for youth under 18 years of age. Drop in classes are also available at $12 per class. Please note that unless you are signed up with the Parks & Recreation Department as a beginner, you must first complete an initial 1 1/2 hour orientation training session. This initial session, which you arrange by appointment, is necessary to familiarize beginners with basic fundamental boxing concepts and technical drills and exercises regularly used during our class, so that those learned concepts and skills could be readily put into practice as part of group training during our regular on going sessions. The cost of this initial 1 1/2 hour training session is $60 per person. Personal one on one training, also available, is $60 per hour. As regards private lessons, discounts are available when more than one participant is present, or for small groups. Additionally, we feature an open gym for those who have or gain minimally required experience using our facility and/or equipment, and just want to come down and workout for their own personal benefit. Open gym hours are those hours listed below as hours of operation. If you are looking for Summer activities, we also provide 4-6 week training camps for youth as well as adults.

For persons interested in training classes, following is a beginning level class description; Start with varied warm up activities and light flexibility. Learn fundamental stance, directional footwork, and striking technique. Learn to shadowbox combining foot work, head movement, and striking technique, transferring skills to light and heavy bags for a super cardio total body conditioning workout. Further sharpen skills and increase stamina with the use of punch mitt and punch shield floor workout routines. Introduction to various calisthenic and plyometric exercises followed by strength training with various gymnasium equipment from dumbbells to medicine balls to flex tubing etc. Intermediate and advanced level technique and conditioning drills are taught when students progress to that level. Some example lessons for intermediate and advanced level class workouts will consist of counter punch drills with partners, interval training with high level activity output followed by moderately paced activities, 2-4 rounds of non stop work out combining boxing skills with conditioning exercises to develop breathing patterns, light supervised sparring for those who wish to venture into the ring, boxing specific core stability training exercises with emphasis on speed, etc.

Training for amateur and professional level competition is also provided at Bellafatto Boxing Academy by trainer Nick Bellafatto, a member coach of USA Boxing Inc. Many members of the Bellafatto Boxing Academy team compete in USA Boxing sanctioned invitational tournaments and local boxing club competitions year round. This allows our boxers to increase their skill level while building confidence and self esteem. Members also participate annually in the San Francisco Golden Gloves Tournament with opportunities to advance to regional and even national level championships held in Colorado Springs and other locations around the country. Our ultimate goal at Bellafatto Boxing Academy is to provide the community, youth and adults alike, a quality facility and program to instill discipline, build confidence and self esteem, and better overall physical condition.
