One-on-One Personal Training vs. Boxing Personal Training: Which Is Right for You?

At Alltone Fitness, we understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach for anyone’s fitness journey. Some individuals want structure, accountability, and professional guidance throughout their journey. Others want more energetic fun workouts to challenge their body and mind, and somewhere in between lies the perfect balance for your journey. This is why we have different training styles! So our clients can find the training style that works best for them. 

One-on-one personal training and boxing personal training are two of our most sought-after offerings. Both are effective, both will get you fitter and stronger, but the journey to get there changes slightly based on the style of training. Let’s explore what each personal training style offers, its unique benefits, and how you can decide which style is the right match for your personalized health and fitness journey.

What Is on One Personal Training?

One-on-one personal training is just that – you and your trainer in a private studio. Each session is designed to meet your individual needs, whether that be to lose weight, build strength, rehabilitate, or improve your overall fitness level.

At Alltone Fitness, our private studio means no distractions, no packed machines, and no waiting for equipment. You have a clean, welcoming environment, with the focus entirely on you!

The benefits of one-on-one training are:

  • An entirely personalised program.
  • Progress is tracked and modified every session.
  • Injury-safe exercises configured to your body.
  • Accountability to keep you consistent.

Flexibility – weight training, functional training, core work, or a blend of everything.

This type of personal training is perfect for people who want structure, variety, and consistent long-term results.

What Is Boxing Personal Training?

Boxing personal training is a fitness experience focused exclusively on boxing techniques, drills, and conditioning. You do not need to be a serious boxer – in fact, a majority of our boxing client base consists of people who have never boxed before, looking for a fun way to get fit.

Sessions can include pad work, footwork drills, strength development, and cardio conditioning. You will learn proper techniques, all while developing the ability to punch harder and perform better.

Benefits of boxing training include:

  • High energy, full body workouts.
  • A fun stress-relieving way to work out.
  • Increases endurance, hand-eye coordination, and reflexes.
  • Burns a large number of calories in a short period of time.
  • Improves confidence and mental focus.

If you want workouts that are both exciting and empowering, boxing could be the answer.

Comparing the Two Training Styles

So, how do you know which type of training is right for you? Let’s break it down:

FeatureOne-on-One Personal TrainingBoxing Personal Training
FocusPersonalised fitness goalsBoxing skills + conditioning

IntensityModerate to high (varied)High-intensity bursts
StructureTailored program over timeDynamic, drill-based workouts

The truth is, both options can be combined—many clients enjoy one training for structure and sprinkle in boxing sessions for variety and cardio.

Which Training Suits Your Goals?

Here’s a guide to help you decide: 

Choose one-on-one personal training if:

  • You want full attention with programs designed around you.
  • You’re recovering from an injury or need safe, structured progression.
  • You want a balance of strength training, core work, and fitness conditioning.

Choose boxing personal training if:

  • You want a high-energy, calorie-burning workout.
  • You want to do something different from going to the gym every time.
  • You want something that is fun and fast-paced to keep you engaged.

The Alltone Fitness Difference

The big difference from Alltone Fitness is the training environment. Our studio is not a large commercial gym with a nameless vibe. It is private to you. Whether it’s a strength on one session or a boxing workout class, you’ll have the privacy and undivided attention of your trainer while you are in a safe, enjoyable space.

We also provide flexibility to mix training styles. You can have both styles within your program. There are a few clients, for example, who started with structured workouts and then added Boxing sessions one or two times per week for enhanced fitness as well as to break up the routine.

Everyday Benefits You’ll Notice

  • Through one-on-one training, you may experience stronger posture, improved energy in daily life, and ongoing progress towards your goals. Carrying shopping bags, climbing stairs, or sitting at your desk will become easier.
  • Using boxing as your training: You will feel fitter, lighter, and more energised after each session. Clients regularly share that boxing has helped them release stress, enhance confidence, and feel excited about coming back.

Conclusion

At Alltone Fitness, we believe fitness should fit into your lifestyle, not the other way around. That is why we have personal training and boxing personal training.

If you want a structure to follow and steady progression with programs designed specifically for you, One is your best choice. If you want a fast-paced, high-energy workout that keeps you motivated, boxing training may be your match made in heaven.

Can’t decide? That is ok! Many of our clients team up for boxing and work together to create an ideal balance of strength training, conditioning, and fun.

The first step is simple: try it for yourself! For $5, you can try our intro session and experience private training in a studio atmosphere and find out what works for you.
