BALANCE undertook a pilot program last fall that saw our popular boxing classes move into a fully equipped boxing gym. After the success of the program, which was featured in the Globe and Mail in early 2026, we’re delighted to announce its return for the spring! This six-week program gives Blind and low-vision adults the chance to train in a state-of-the-art, centrally located and inclusive space under the guidance of Savoy Howe from Toronto Newsgirls Boxing Club.

You’ll build solid boxing fundamentals — footwork, punch combinations, offense, and defense — while improving strength, coordination, fitness, and confidence. Beyond technique, the program helps you step into your own unique boxing style in a safe, supportive, and empowering environment.

One participant said:
"Boxing makes me feel calmer and more confident. It’s the BEST anti-depressant, and I always leave class with a huge smile on my face."

Check out The Globe and Mail’s coverage of last fall’s program in “What I Learned Boxing With the Blind."

What to Bring: Comfortable workout clothes, clean indoor shoes, water, and your fighter spirit.

Spots are limited. Reserve your spot by emailing info@balancefba.org or by calling 416-236-1796 ext. 0.

Step into the ring, build your skills, and have fun — it’s your knockout moment!
