25.01.2022 Still love this post from last year and things haven't changed ladies classes still Monday, Wednesday and Thursdays . Throw on some gloves ladies

24.01.2022 Hi Girls dont forget our Punch Like A Girl singlets still available. Probably our biggest selling item before bloody Rona hit. Youll see a lot of these around the club so come and grab one as these are last lot. Available in black or white in S,M,L. Thanks to super model Belinda for modelling. #boxing #fitness #brisbane #fitnessapparel #qld #ladies #girls

24.01.2022 Hi everyone the Qld government has confirmed that you don’t have to wear a mask during strenuous training. So please wear your mask when entering the club and leave on during warm up. It is not necessary during strenuous training but please put back on after training. As always please scan in on arrival. https://www.qld.gov.au//public/restrictions-impacted-areas

23.01.2022 (IN CASE YOU ARE NOT ON THE BRAVEHEARTS COMMUNITY PAGE) Well if you have just seen the news with the prime minister we are moving into lockdown (gyms) along with clubs, pubs, cinemas etc. we are to close by midday tomorrow but Im calling it now and not opening now. As I said I will pause all direct debits until we reopen, any Paid PTs and 10 passes will hold until we reopen and I wont let anyone down. Thanks to all you wonderful people for supporting me while I built this ...boxing club. Theres been people with me since we first started and thats amazing. Ive laughed more in the last four years than I have in my life I reckon. Im chewing at the bit to get back into it and in the mean time will put my thinking cap on about Park PTs and let you know on here. Lots of love to my team Mikayla (crap music but love her anyway), Will, Dougie , Sam. Heidi and Joe (like my kids well joe is). Kaylee my Pilates Instructor . Not forgetting Coach Luke who bought home our SE QLD titles last year and built a strong team. Lets keep in contact until we get back into the club in coming months. LOVE AND PEACE Coach Mark See more

23.01.2022 Hi everyone we will be CLOSED SHOW DAY HOLIDAY FRIDAY AUGUST 14. As my wife wants the yard finished I will run morning circuits at my house including mowing, carrying cement bags and wheelbarrow races. Business as usual Saturday the 15th. No Ekka this year but enjoy your Friday off. #brisbane #boxing #publicholiday

22.01.2022 Big thanks to TWENTY6_MARKETING for getting our online booking service up and running. They would generally need more time but with stage 2 moving the opening date to Monday they did a lot of work in a short time. Our first day back tomorrow with the 6 am class is booked out and the 8 am 80% full. Still some room in the technical class at 7 if anyone wants to book in. We still have a few weeks before stage 3 kicks in so for the time being no padwork in the group sessions. Work with the coaches on the new COVIDSafe plan bring your own gloves, definitely a towel, wraps and water bottle. Away we go

22.01.2022 I Love Boxing Trash Talk! I give out plenty at the club and I receive just as much back. When youre hot and sweating on the bag theres nothing better than hearing that trash talk in the background to lighten the air. Enjoy it, its part of boxing and come armed with your own banter. Train hard but have some fun heres a few examples

22.01.2022 Just a friendly reminder guys about booking in to classes. If you book in and cant make it just drop me a text and Ill remove the booking. As we have set numbers at the moment some classes are full but 3 or 4 dont show and others miss out. I keep things very laid back and get that stuff crops up and ruins plans but give me a heads up so other guys can jump into an empty spot. Thanks everyone

22.01.2022 Thanks to @allstarboxingacademy for the sparring today for our boys. Our fighters put in some great rounds under Coach @luke__gilbert and are looking sharp for 2020. Our female fighters step into the ring for sparring next Saturday for in house sparring. Great work team. #boxing #sparring #fight #qld #australia

20.01.2022 Its business as usual at Bravehearts but we are constantly monitoring government circulations and news services re the Coronavirus. We have doubled up on our cleaning and have disinfected all equipment and are doing so daily. If you dont have your own gloves please think about getting some, in the mean time please ensure you use our inner gloves available at the desk and wash your hands before and after. It goes without saying if you are feeling any of the flu like symptoms... (indicated on news media) please stay home and seek medical advice. At 55 years old I thought Id seen it all but have to admit we are wading into uncharted territory. Its interesting that the best way to beat this virus is to stay fit and healthy so a bit of a catch 22. Training hours will remain the same unless we are told otherwise. Life certainly is interesting at times but you always have to get back on your feet and keep moving forward. #boxing #training #fitness #brisbane #qld #australia #coronavirus See more

20.01.2022 Hi Bravehearts so the federal government has stated not more than one person in a 4 square meter area at indoor gatherings. So that would include sparring and padwork. Ive contacted our governing bodies for a better idea of what we can and cant do. We can still do bag work, circuits and technical in keeping that distance. The information is changing each day and Im doing my best to normalise training at the club but gathering info on the coronavirus is like catching a slip...pery fish with your hands. Ive worked my butt off on this business for the past 4 years to build something special in our community and will keep doing so until I can do no more. After family this little boxing studio means the world to me as do all the friends I have made. Please keep your eye on instagram and FB and Ill keep you up to date as we work this all out. Lots of love Coach Mark #boxing #brisbane #qld #australia #fights #coronavirus #fitness See more

20.01.2022 Hi Bravehearts dont forget we have introduced a new 4 pm class each Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Coach Mikayla is taking these classes so you know you will get a huge calorie burn. We havent started the kids classes yet but have noticed some of the local kids 12 years plus (not recommended for under 12) starting to attend. Also good for tradies finishing early or anyone wanting to get an early workout in. Book in and come on down.#brisbane #qld #boxing #boxingtraining

20.01.2022 Don’t forget our new classes WEDNESDAYS at 10 am and FRIDAYS at 10.15 am with Coach Heidi. Strong Bones is a new class introduced with both stretching and light weights. Only $10 and a little different from our usual high paced boxing classes.

19.01.2022 Hi everyone no doubt you would have heard the QLD government has put us into lockdown for the next three days. So today Friday there is only one 5 pm class, no classes Saturday and no classes Monday. Tuesday back to normal hours. It’s frustrating but it is what it is. See you all Tuesday.

19.01.2022 Great to have some of the boys down from Grange Thistle Football Club last night. Some big punches amongst the guys. @grangethistle

18.01.2022 Hi Bravehearts I’ve had some of the club members chasing some Adidas Boxing Boots. I’ll run an order over to the supplier so if you like any of those listed let me know and also a US or UK size. The Box Hog 2 are the most popular at the club. I hope they have a supply of all sizes but after Covid some sizes may not be available but I will check.

18.01.2022 Hi everyone, in case you haven’t heard we can reopen tomorrow (Tuesday) but must wear a mask while training for the next ten days. It’s imperative that when you attend the club you wear your mask at all times and scan in on entry. Thanks guys let’s stick to the rules and get through these crazy times.

18.01.2022 Ladies classes 9 am Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Open to all ladies only $10 and sure to get you burning off the calories

18.01.2022 Hi Gang first of all classes are all the same tomorrow and this week. The biggest change is no sparring and no padwork. I note some clubs are still doing padwork (and sparring) but I decided on Saturday to discontinue this for the present time. This cut my numbers on Saturday by 80% its not great financially but as someone who holds pads for a living and is continually covered in sweat and spit its a decision thats a right one and believe others are now starting to remove... from their training. Training will now comprise everything else but these two elements. Big thanks to Kirsten for setting up a social page for Bravehearts so we can all stay in touch and I can answer any questions. Ive contacted as many people I have on FB and if youre not on our community page please let me know. Please dont forget we open at 5.30 am tomorrow and will continue doing so but as you know things are changing daily. If you are home then pop in during the day and use the equipment the gym is open and all yours to train. If Im not there Joey is. IMPORTANT if the government temporarily closes businesses down all direct debits will be put on hold, all paid PTs will continue once we open and all 10 passes will hold and continue on our return. People that know me know I regard loyalty as a persons most important character and regardless I will remain loyal to my members and no one will be out of pocket. Thanks everyone keep punching See more

17.01.2022 Training times for this Tuesday, Australia Day

16.01.2022 Well tomorrow is Coach Mikaylas birthday so if youre at the club wish her a happy birthday or drop her a line here. Mikki is huge part of Bravehearts and we would be lost without her. She runs a tough class and loves a laugh with club members. Happy Birthday Mikki Im calling an armistice tomorrow with no verbal spray and bagging..... thats one day only dont get used to it. @kayla.kathrynn

16.01.2022 Hey Bravehearts when we reopen tomorrow please ensure you scan on your way into the club and on your way out. This is a stipulation by the QLD Government. Please ensure you do this as the fines are huge. Thanks everyone and welcome back

16.01.2022 Watching HBOs Ward V Gatti Documentary. Worth a watch if you like Boxing. Catch it on YouTube.

15.01.2022 Hi Guys just a couple of things to let you know about reopening. If you have burrowed equipment from the club can you start returning? Ill be at the club from 9.30 am tomorrow and will be in and out all week so just text me and we can work out a time. I have quite a list provided by the government that must be adhered to. This includes -One way entry in and exit the club... Hand sanitizer stations -1.5 meter marks to seating and training areas. -No more providing gloves and pads, you must have your own. -Everyone must sign in at start of class and leave name and number -Training will now be 45 minutes with only one round of skipping and very few breaks and intense training. Sadly no hanging around as that 15 minutes between classes lets us empty the club, clean the equipment for the next class. -As I said I am arranging an app to book classes but for now you can message me for a class booking. -please stay home if unwell. Ill keep everyone up to date as things come to light. Im sorry if any changes inconvenience anyone but it is what it is and the fines for business are very high. Ill pop over to a manufacturer tomorrow and pick up some more gloves and pads if anyone prefers to purchase new. This came as a surprise today with stage 2 lifting earlier tha expected but Ill do all I can to get us open and running ASAP. See more

15.01.2022 Things are a little different with our week day classes now guys. You still get your 5,6 and 7 pm classes but we now also have a 4 pm class on Monday. Wednesday and Thursday. We will give it a trial run over coming weeks and definitely keep it if this time frame is popular.

15.01.2022 Looking to spar for the first time? Heres what NOT to say to coaches and other fighters. I havent sparred before but Im pretty good Im a big guy so Ill be fine Ill be ok I grew up in a tough area in New Zealand Ive never actually sparred but Ive had heaps of street fights... Im keen to spar but dont hit the face Dont worry about me Ive been doing Taekwondo for 5 years Its just a tip and remember when you jump in relax, dont go crazy and enjoy the experience. Remember sparring for the first time is about learning and not having to be in survival mode. Enjoy. Sparring tomorrow morning 7-9 Bravehearts See more

15.01.2022 What a great week. Just a quick shoutout to all the Bravehearts members for returning after our COVID isolation period. Weve had a cracking good week and are being joined by new members weekly. Thank you guys I appreciate everyone that comes to my club and supports this great studio and our team of coaches. My dad instilled loyalty into me as a child as did the Police Service. Loyalty by club members means the world to me and coming back after the shut down to busy classes proves what wonderful people walk through our doors each week. Lets do it again next week#boxing #boxingtraining #fitness #qld #brisbane #padwork

15.01.2022 Hi everyone here are the instructions to book your classes. We commence this Saturday so jump on our website and book your classes. Only 12 per class for the time being. Payment remains the same ie 10 pass, direct debit and payment on the day. See you from this Saturday

14.01.2022 This was our fighter training class (technical) last night. Plenty of people willing to learn and put in the hard yards. Im so proud of this club, my brilliant team and club members many of whom have become good friends. From a dirty old vacant shop 5 years ago to this thriving little boxing studio Im blown away. Hard work pays. Business has never been busier and friendships never better. Thanks to everyone who is part of Bravehearts.

14.01.2022 Big welcome back to all our members. Yesterday was our biggest day on record and with new faces around since we reopened the club will continue to grow. COVID-19 was a shock to the system for many businesses and reopening for many clubs, like mine, was a nervous time. With stage 3 now very close it will be back to padwork and sparring. Thanks again for the support Bravehearts from myself and the team. Weve got plenty up our sleeves this year so keep watching social media. Love and Peace #boxing #boxingtraining #fitness #brisbane

13.01.2022 So good to be back doing Padwork again. Teddy is a few weeks into his one on ones and is doing an amazing job on the pads. Benefits of Padwork include fat burn, improves your technique, reduces stress, hand eye coordination and conditions your body and mind. If youre new to padwork stick with it, in no time muscle memory kicks in and youll be moving around like a champ.

12.01.2022 Hi guys dont forget we have a Bravehearts Community Page so if youre a member join us and catch up with club news (definitely members only). We have made this page for many reasons like upcoming events, sell your boxing equipment, change in times etc. As we are big on community please feel free to advertise your business on the page if you like. As a small business owner I understand the importance of establishing contacts and getting the name out. If we can help each other out then why not? Its a pretty shitty world at the moment so lets share the love.

11.01.2022 THE TRUTH ABOUT BOXING CLUBS- I cant tell you how many times I have heard (especially from women) Id love to try boxing but Im too scared to. Heres a few things for ladies to keep in mind. Many, many women box. Its popularity has risen again dramatically in recent years. In our club alone we have a 67% female membership. When you enter the club no one will make you fight. A lot of clubs offer Boxfit classes and non contact boxing classes like technical. Boxing in itsel...f is great for fitness but many clubs have evolved over recent years to include more HIIT style cardio on top of the skipping, bag work and pad work. We include Pilates which, I believe is a brilliant combination for fitness and goes hand in hand with boxing for core strengthening. If you want to box train at a boxing club if you want to do weights than train at a gym. I have weights for strengthening but we are a boxing club and we box. If I want to weight train Ill go to a gym. You get what Im saying. SO LADIES give boxing a try its tough but you walk away after training on a mental and physical high. There are probably some great boxing clubs in your local area so check them out and get involved, you wont regret it. See more

11.01.2022 Hi Bravehearts sparring is back. If youre keen to jump back in the ring then every Saturday morning 7-9 you can get your rounds in. Dont forget 16 ounce gloves, headgear and mouthguard a must have. If youre a club member and always wanted to test yourself talk to Mark at the club and we can start you off slowly.

10.01.2022 No training this Monday the 5th for the public holiday bravehearts.

10.01.2022 Still love this post from last year and things havent changed ladies classes still Monday, Wednesday and Thursdays . Throw on some gloves ladies

09.01.2022 Hi guys with padwork and sparring back on the training schedule dont forget your kit when you come to training. For the Boxfit classes wraps, gloves, pads, towel and water bottle. Same for sparring but remember your mouth guard, 16 ounce gloves and head gear. Exciting times so get back into training, burn through winter and be summer ready

09.01.2022 Big thanks to Ben @benjamin_hussain1 for the rounds tonight with @will.langford . Ben is a great bloke and a very tough customer. Also thanks to his coach Luke at @spidersboxingclub .

08.01.2022 Get your posse together. Now you can get your own friends together and have a private class for only $10 per person. A minimum of 6 people between 6 am till 4 pm Monday to Friday and you have your own private class with a coach pushing you all the way. Contact Mark on 0432 788403 and get your posse saddled up for a tough session on the pads and bags. #boxing #brisbane #qld #fitness

08.01.2022 Love the hard work these guys do

08.01.2022 If you havent checked out Nick Heath (rugby commentator) while the Rugby is on hold check him out. Brilliant

07.01.2022 Hi everyone we are back THIS SATURDAY morning from 6.00 am. I have received many messages of support and I really appreciate it. Everyone is keen to get back into it and whilst we tried to reopen Thursday we just need a little more time to make a safe environment for all and follow all government guidelines put in place. If you would like one on ones with our coaches I can put you in touch with them. Will, Mikayla, Sam, and Heidi. I will recommence my PTs from this Thursday.... I nearly have our booking App in place so everyone can start booking their classes which is mandatory. If I dont have the App in place by Thursday night then please text me your booking but hold off for another day or two so we can get that App up and running. WELCOME BACK BRAVEHEARTS. LETS GET PUNCHING See more

06.01.2022 Don’t forget our new class Fridays at 10.15 am with Coach Heidi. Strong Bones is a great way to finish the week with stretching and light weights. Only $10 and a little different from our usual high paced boxing classes.

05.01.2022 Hey Bravehearts most of you have joined our Bravehearts Community Page but if you havent jump on. Its great to keep in touch and share some handy hints. Hope everyone is dealing with Rona. Cant wait till this is over and we are back punching and moving.

05.01.2022 Loving the ladies classes. A real mixture of single ladies, Mums of babies and mums of adults. They are a great crew and always put the work in. Welcome back girls, always a great session. #boxing #fitness #brisbane #qld #ladies #girlpower

05.01.2022 Hey Bravehearts hope you are all surviving out there. I enjoyed this clip with some of the best female fighters around. https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-lELdpnb7I/

04.01.2022 I notice some clubs bagging police lately. As a former police officer and with family members and club members in the police service, I proudly support our police community. Until youve seen and done the things they have to do dont be too quick to judge. Most people have no idea what a violent and ugly world we have outside our family home.

01.01.2022 After reopening after two months (Coronavirus) & losing someone I cared about last week I walked up to my local coffee shop today and went to pay. Staff said one of my club members had put money on my coffee card and wanted to remain ominous. Just a small thing to most but to me it meant the world. The worlds a little crazy right now but a small act of kindness goes a long way. In business being financially successful is what we all strive for but building a strong community brings its own success. Love and peace to that person. You made my day.

01.01.2022 No luck tonight with both boys losing their bouts. Im so proud of Andrew and Will, Andrew stepped into the ring for his first fight and gained some experience and fought very well. Will took on a much more experienced boxer and was one of the toughest and best fights of the night. Experience for both of our guys is what we took from tonight and well be back in the ring in a couple of weeks. Andrew and Will thanks for representing Bravehearts I couldnt be prouder
