CHECK IN

Once you arrive at TRIBE!

Check in with our Front of House.

You can also check your bag number, how many classes you have left or if you have to pay.

We'll provide you with everything you need, just grab a towel and a pair of wraps and you're good to go!

*Reminder that first-timers have to arrive at the studio 10-15 minutes before the commencement of the class so that they get to do an induction session with the instructor of the class.

WRAP UP

always wrap up before a class!

We highly encourage wrapping your hands before you do any form of boxing - it will help prevent any injuries to your wrists and knuckles.

Our lovely Front of House can help wrap your hands for you! Just ask them for some help at our front desk.

Want to learn how to wrap your hands? Check out our wrapping video below.

GLOVES ON

grab your gloves!

You'll find our gloves on our rack right next to the Rave Cave. We offer a choice between 12oz and 14oz gloves.

Additionally, we offer a variety of gloves in other sizes (from 8oz to 14oz) in many styles and colours, if you're looking for that perfect fit or if you just want to stand out.

THE

MOVES

All you need to know before your TRIBE Class

Your TRIBE Instructor wil give you a breakdown of all the moves before the start of your class. Though if you're looking for a headstart, you've come to the right place.

Start off by mastering the 6 punches, then add on the defensive moves to truly become a master of the TRIBE Class.
