Boxing Personal Training

Hi My name is Waleed malik and I have been boxing since I was 8 years old. I competed as an amateur boxer and then began coaching at Rooneys (professional boxing gym located in London bridge) while I was studying at University. I started as an assistant coach but 6 months later was promoted to head coach and was leading all boxing classes including; Kids classes, womens classes, white collar classes, sparring classes and intense boxfit classes. I then started covering for management which lead to me making regular new suggestions on classes, equipment sales, timetable and daily running of the gym which I started managing on a regular basis.

After making a good impression and becoming extremely popular at Rooneys boxing gym I began taking my own clients privately after they insisted they only wanted to be trained by me and have since been very successful with training my clients privately and locally.

I designed all types of classes and added my input trying to make the most engaging classes possible for all different ability types, I believe this was key in me becoming the most popular trainer. Alongside my enthusiasm for better classes a major role was every time I use to finish my shift at the gym I always spent the remaining final hour with one of 5 professional boxing coaches who each had a completely different unique style of boxing and I was obsessed with learning their style as I wanted to learn as much as possible and soak up all the knowledge like a sponge. One of the coaches taught me how to box in the phily shell (floyd Mayweather guard) and this really took my padwork to a whole new level and this is just one example out of the 5 coaches I trained with I learnt so many different styles and techniques which I still now use and teach with my clients till this day.

I feel I would be a great fit for this role as my passion for boxing along with my energetic social personality and team work approach will help me thrive to succeed for this organisation. I always say to people I’m blessed to be able to teach something I love as not everyone gets to do that in their lifetime. Boxing changed my life, and I would love to build a team and continue to help change others.
