Personal boxing training from Alex Blanchard<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alex Blanchard<\/a> ‘s boxing training is based on a powerful combination of boxing, strength and conditioning training. Not a standard fitness approach, but a thoughtful training method developed from years of experience as a professional boxer and multiple European boxing champion. <\/p>\n

Each training session is personal and goal-oriented, with attention to boxing technique, physical development, and mental resilience. This makes the training suitable for anyone who seriously wants to work on fitness, performance, or targeted weight loss \u2014 from recreational athletes to competitive boxers. <\/p>\n

<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/euk6SHgJujY” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”990″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Boxing technique: part of every boxing workout<\/h2>\n

Boxing technique forms the foundation of Alex’s method. This involves not only punches but the entire technical system needed to train in a controlled, efficient, and safe manner. <\/p>\n

    \n
  • Boxing stance, balance and body position.<\/li>\n
  • Footwork, timing and distance control.<\/li>\n
  • Coordination and efficient strength development.<\/li>\n
  • Defense, head movement and calmness under pressure.<\/li>\n
  • Energy distribution and pacing (learning to dose strength and conditioning over time).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    It is precisely these often-overlooked details \u2014 stemming from years of competitive experience \u2014 that ensure control, precision, and lasting progress.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

    Boxing the basics; Strength, conditioning and explosiveness<\/h2>\n

    In addition to technique, physical development is addressed through targeted training, including:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Functional circuit training.<\/li>\n
    • Strength and conditioning exercises.<\/li>\n
    • Core stability, abs and mobility.<\/li>\n
    • Padwork, boxing bag training and technique drills.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      This combination strengthens the body as a whole and supports technical development within boxing.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”991″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

      Heavy bag training: technique, strength, and rhythm<\/h2>\n

      Heavy bag training is an essential part of Alex’s training method and forms the bridge between technique, physical strength, and conditioning<\/strong>. It is not just randomly hitting hard, but a structured form of training in which control, precision, and efficiency are central. <\/p>\n

      During heavy bag training, work is done on, among other things:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • refining punch cleanliness and technique.<\/li>\n
      • Strengthening shoulders and the ability to sustain sustained impact.<\/li>\n
      • grinding in rhythm and timing for pure combinations.<\/li>\n
      • developing punching power and perseverance.<\/li>\n
      • Increasing fitness and endurance.<\/li>\n
      • perfecting footwork and rhythm of punches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The training follows fixed work-rest ratios from competitive boxing, such as 3 minutes of work and 1 minute of rest<\/strong>. This teaches you to perform under fatigue and maintain control over pace and execution \u2014 essential for both performance-oriented training and competitive boxing.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/Ey0RgwgpYas” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”992″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

        Resilience & mental strength<\/h2>\n

        An important distinguishing element in Alex’s training sessions is the development of mental resilience<\/strong>. This is not explained, but built up. Through a clear training structure and targeted mental exercises, step by step work is done on perseverance, focus, and a strong winner’s mentality<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

        Mental strength arises during physical work. By sparring intensively, pushing through when it gets tough, and learning to perform under pressure, you develop the ability to persevere and maintain control<\/strong>. Daring to show guts<\/em> plays an important role in this. <\/p>\n

        In addition, mental resilience is strengthened through specific circuit training, in which strength, conditioning, and focus come together. The better your condition, the easier it becomes to remain calm and continue making choices \u2014 both physically and mentally. <\/p>\n

        This creates a training that not only makes the body stronger but also shapes the mind.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

        Competitive boxing & performance level<\/h2>\n

        For athletes who want to perform at a high level \u2014 from ambitious competitive boxers to boxers with professional aspirations<\/strong> \u2014 Alex offers specialized guidance based on more than 25 years of experience in boxing<\/strong> and his background as a 6-time European champion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

        The training focuses on refining all aspects that make the difference in competitive boxing:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • defense and control under pressure.<\/li>\n
        • refinement of technique and timing.<\/li>\n
        • Learn to shift gears and set the right pace.<\/li>\n
        • Boxing bag training that focuses on correct, efficient and competitive punching.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          This approach has been developed from years of practice in the ring and is intended for athletes who are looking for more than general training \u2014 but coaching at performance level<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”993″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/B02TxyZbvtc” css=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

          Sustainable results through a total approach<\/h2>\n

          For lasting results, coach Alex looks beyond just the training itself. His approach is focused on the big picture, in which multiple factors come together and reinforce each other. <\/p>\n

          In addition to physical training, the following also play a role:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Motivation and training mentality<\/li>\n
          • Nutrition and body awareness<\/li>\n
          • Flexibility, recovery, and resilience<\/li>\n
          • Mindset \u2014 the foundation of progress<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            This integral approach ensures that progress is not forced but grows sustainably. You train with more pleasure, persevere longer, and develop yourself step by step \u2014 both physically and mentally.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

            Who is this training for?<\/h2>\n

            The training is suitable for anyone with serious goals, including:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Recreational athletes<\/strong> who want to become fitter, stronger, or more resilient<\/li>\n
            • Athletes<\/strong> who want to further develop their physical and mental performance<\/li>\n
            • People who want to lose weight in a targeted way<\/strong> and make their bodies healthier, fitter, and more resilient<\/li>\n
            • Competitive boxers<\/strong> who want to improve in a structured and goal-oriented way in technique, punches, movement, and footwork at a high level<\/li>\n
            • People with early-stage Parkinson’s or dementia<\/strong>, in an adapted training form<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              You train according to principles from top-level sports \u2014 disciplined and goal-oriented<\/strong> \u2014 from beginner to advanced, from recreational athlete to competitive boxer.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”995″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
