The gym was producing happy members as well as successful international boxers. In 2008, Chris Walker opened TGA Box Health and Fitness, and in 2017 opened Te Puke Box Gym; both full-facility gyms that specialise in boxing and boxing fitness, catering for people who want to get in shape and lose weight, utilising the sweet science of boxing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are proud to say we have helped many members become fit, healthy and strong, and plan to help many more.

I was greeted by friendly faces and to my surprise as I started to explain myself and the circumstances that had lead me to being there, I had an overwhelming feeling that I was being genuinely listened to\u2026 I lost around 18kg, gained muscle, increased my fitness banging out 2.5km runs (wouldn&#8217;t even break into a jog when I first joined) and my lifestyle choices are on track with the help of good discipline. I competed in three Clash of the Corporate fight nights. I&#8217;ve met a lot of great people and TGA Box has turned my life around! I recommend anyone that&#8217;s thinking about going down there to get into it. I owe them a massive thank you!&#8221; <\/div><\/div><div class=\"qubely-testimonial-author\"><div class=\"qubely-testimonial-avatar-layout-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"qubely-testimonial-avatar\" src=\"https:\/\/tgabox.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Sacha-Dustin-before-and-after.png\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"\"\/><div class=\"qubely-testimonial-author-info\"><div class=\"qubely-testimonial-author-name\"><span><strong>Sacha Dustin<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div class=\"qubely-testimonial-author-designation\"><span>WordPress Developer<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-qubely-testimonial qubely-block-a97f83\"><div class=\"qubely-block-testimonial \"><div class=\"qubely-testimonial-content\"><div>  &#8220;I am thrilled with the results I get from the Box-Fit classes I attend at TGA Box.

I am now a &#8216;regular&#8217; to boxing and encourage any walks of life to make the first step like I did no matter what your motivation may be.

You guys have been amazing. I still remember your words to me when I first sat down to chat about joining, &#8220;you need to do this for you!&#8221; And you were so right&#8230; I was a size 16, eating unhealthily and being inactive. I just felt so\u00a0yucky within myself. You gave me the tools and activities to get me going, to get motivated and to get fit and whenever I would struggle or have a question you would be there to inspire, make a suggestion and motivate me. Now I am a size 10 and considering novice bodybuilding&#8230; had you told me that 6 months ago I would have been rolling on the floor laughing. And I know that everyone at TGA BOX will be behind me every step of the way!&#8221; <\/div><\/div><div class=\"qubely-testimonial-author\"><div class=\"qubely-testimonial-avatar-layout-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"qubely-testimonial-avatar\" src=\"https:\/\/tgabox.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Cindy-Duck-before-and-after.png\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"\"\/><div class=\"qubely-testimonial-author-info\"><div class=\"qubely-testimonial-author-name\"><span>Cindy Duck<\/span><\/div><div class=\"qubely-testimonial-author-designation\"><span>WordPress Developer<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a class=\"maxbutton-1 maxbutton maxbutton-free-trial\" href=\"https:\/\/tgabox.co.nz\/free-trial\/\"><span class='mb-text'>START YOUR FREE TRIAL<\/span><\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The story began in 2001 at the Wharepai domain in Tauranga central, when Chris Walker a former boxer and boxing coach from Rotorua set up the Tauranga Boxing Gym.
