Studies have shown that exercise is a great way to maintain good mental health and wellbeing. The theme for this year’s University Mental Health Day is ‘movement’, and to celebrate this, we have organised a boxing pad work class to get your blood pumping and adrenaline flowing.

During this 90-minute class, you will practise boxing combinations with a partner under the guidance of a qualified fitness instructor. The class will end with some gentle stretching to help you cool down after your workout.

Where: Harrow campus, Watford Rd, Northwick Park Roundabout, Harrow HA1 3TP

When: Thursday, 14th March from 1 pm-2.30 pm

With: Francis Poku

While all equipment will be provided, you are welcome to bring your own boxing gloves if you would prefer. Please ensure that you wear loose, comfortable clothing and bring plenty of water. If you have any injuries or medical conditions that might impact you during the session, please let the instructor know before the class starts.

Whether you are looking to try a new hobby or just looking to release some pent-up energy, we know that your mental health and wellbeing will benefit from the positive impact of movement.

The location of this event will be sent via email to ticket holders.

Please note that if you are currently pregnant, you can not take part in this activity due to the nature of contact sport.
