More Than Just a Gym

Discover the heart of The Shadowbox boxing programs. We're more than just a gym; we're a community committed to empowerment, inclusivity, and helping you find your strength in Lacombe, Alberta.

What Makes Us Different?

At The Shadowbox Plus, we go beyond the typical intimidating boxing gym experience. This is where community, purpose, and empowerment collide. What sets us apart isn't just our technique or training-- it's our commitment to creating an inclusive space where every member, regardless of age or ability, feels seen, supported, and strong. The Shadowbox Plus isn't just about throwing punches-- it's about finding your power.

Your First Class Experience

Walking into your first class at The Shadowbox Plus, you'll feel the energy of the supportive, upbeat, and judgement-free crowd. Each session starts with a gentle warm-up to get you moving, with increasing intensity to challenge all boxers from beginner to champion. You'll learn how to throw punches, move your feet, and build coordination all at your own pace, with expert guidance and plenty of encouragement. There's no pressure to keep up, and no experience is needed - just bring comfortable clothes, a water bottle, and an open mind. By the end of class, you'll feel stronger, more confident, and surprised by how much fun you had.

Results You Can Expect

At The Shadowbox, boxing is more than a sport--it's a transformation and a community. For competitive athletes, our training sharpens speed, power, and fight strategy helping them reach new levels of performance and ring readiness. Young boxers just starting out gain confidence, coordination, and a strong foundation in a supportive, goal-driven environment. And for the average middle-aged man or woman who may feel out of shape or unsure where to begin, boxing becomes a powerful way to reconnect with building strength, balance, and endurance while shedding stress and rediscovering self-confidence. Beyond the physical gains, what keeps people coming back is the fun, the movement, the music and the friendships built along the way. No matter your starting point, The Shadowbox Plus meets you where you are and helps you unlock the fighter within, surrounded by a community that cheers you on every step of the way.
