I am somewhat new to the area and I just saw the Fall ‘26 Lansing book and I am interested in some conditioning/self defense/boxing classes at Gier/Schmidt and/or crown boxing.

First, how intense are the classes generally? Are these geared towards people getting into shape or for people that are already in good shape?

I was looking at crown boxing. Is this a beginner friendly thing for a chubby dude in his early 30’s? I like the idea of learning and getting into shape at the same time, but not getting beat up by someone that has been doing it forever.

I’m open to other recommendations too! I have gotten into a slump in my life and I really need to start making some changes. Thank you all for any input!
