NOTHING IN LIFE IS OF VALUE
UNLESS YOU WORK HARD FOR IT!
TODAY I WILL DO WHAT OTHERS WON'T
SO TOMORROW I CAN DO WHAT
OTHERS CAN'T
FITNESS IS NOT ABOUT BEING BETTER THAN SOMEONE ELSE ..
.. IT'S ABOUT BEING BETTER THAN YOU
USED TO BE.
EVERY ACCOMPLISHMENT STARTS
WITH THE DECISION TO TRY.

MIXED CLASSES
Boxing engages muscles from all over your body in a full body workout. From your trapezius to your deltoids, your biceps, triceps, shoulders, abs, chest and back, you essentially recruit all your upper body muscles to throw punches, duck and dodge. Your legs get in on the act with intense cardio, too, carrying you around the ring and assisting in evading your opponent, whether real or imagined. Your quadriceps, hamstrings and glutes work together to help you lunge in and out, and add power to your punches. The power you generate for any punch starts down below and drives upward from your calves in a kinetic chain. Boxing will increase your endurance and stamina however mostly it is a major stress reliever.
ALL AGES & ALL ABILITIES are welcome.
WOMEN ONLY SESSIONS
Many women just don't feel comfortable working out around men; they may feel judged or intimidated; or they simply want to work on particular areas of their body with more cardio. Or simply use these sessions to 'network' and be 'inspired' with fellow women like-minded fitness enthusiasts.
KIDS (Under 16)
The primary purpose for the kid’s class is to encourage and support physical exercise, self discipline, respect for the other person, and most of all, to have fun whilst participating in a healthy recreational activity.
All classes are strictly NON contact and no matter the age or gender, all kids WILL achieve an improved level of fitness, sharper reflexes, better hand/eye coordination, good balance and self control. They will gain self confidence, build better self esteem and improve concentration in other areas of their life, i.e. school.
MVC Boxing will provide a positive and safe environment that develops a sense of self worth and recognition, at the same time learning controlled self defence.
PERSONAL TRAINING
People use personal trainers to assist them reach their individual health and fitness goals. A personal trainer will tailor an exercise program to meet your goals and personal health needs, teach you the best way to exercise and motivate you.

FOUNDER & DEVELOPMENT COACH. Competed Nationally and internationally with over 25 years experience. 3x Australian Champion Representing Australia numerous times for International and World Titles. Accredited Boxing Australia Trainer.
HEAD BOXING COACH. I started boxing at the age of 14 for self defence and before I knew it, I was having my first bout. After 56 fights, 38 wins and 18 by knockout I retired. In 2002, I returned to give back what I got out of the sport, I love seeing others progress and improve. MVC is a great gym and the trainers are all there for the right reasons.
HEAD BOXING TRAINER - WOMEN. I have been boxing at MVC for 6 years. As soon as I started I was addicted, not only to the fitness aspect but also the mental stimulation boxing provides. MVC was built in honour of my father Michael Victor Canavan and it is a privilege to be part of an association stemmed from his discipline, passion and amazing contribution to the sport. My most memorable moment to date is when one of the girls from my women's class approached me at the end and thanked me for helping her to become more confident and empowered, this is why I love it and you will too.
BOXING TRAINER. While looking into a sport for my son, I discovered MVC Boxing and after watching the kids boxing circuits, I decided to join the adult circuits . As a mum of 3 kids keeping fit and healthy is paramount. I have been training at MVC Boxing for almost 3 years and a trainer for 18months and I’m in the best shape of my life. Going through my boxing accreditation gave me an insight and appreciation for the discipline, skill and fitness involved in boxing. There is an amazing feeling of empowerment and achievement that comes from boxing and as a trainer there is nothing better than seeing people enjoy the circuits, grow in confidence and push themselves.
BOXING TRAINER. I joined MVC two weeks after the doors opened in June 2007. I joined to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. In 2015, I decided to train for the Queensland Masters , during my preparation I lost over 30kgs and was in the best shape of my life which I still maintain today. After the Masters I was invited to become a trainer under the guidance of Steven Marks and Peter Matthews. My boxing circuits are diverse and adapted to the individuals in each of my classes.
BOXING TRAINER. I developed my interest in strength and endurance training under the guidance of Olympic Taekwon-Do Coach Rod Black, he introduced me to the principle of dynamic training for strength. An opportunity arose in 2011 to join MVC Boxing. As a resident of the Mitcham Ringwood area for over forty years, I saw the value of MVC as a unique member-based, non for profit, community based boxing gym. As my knowledge and skills in circuits developed, I was invited to be an MVC trainer under the mentorship of Steven Marks and Peter Matthews. My Boxing circuit classes are safe, challenging and diverse, I adapt my circuits to the individual needs of the participants. I take great pride and enjoyment as an MVC trainer and consider the weekly circuits as a major part of my own fitness and training regime.

BOXING TRAINER. I have been a member of MVC Boxing for 3 years and a trainer for 18 months. I thoroughly enjoy the atmosphere and the community feel. I have two school age children, a wonderful husband and live within the area. I have made some Wonderful friends along the journey at MVC and love the people within. The training is fun and it is a great start to my day.
BOXING TRAINER. I joined MVC more than 5 years ago on the recommendation of a fellow trainer Andrew Marrs and to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I am a Ringwood East local and veteran of the 5:45am MVC Boxing circuit classes, what started as an ambition to keep fit, evolved into a passion to support others and enjoy the values of MVC Boxing and achieve their personal fitness goals. I’m know for my enthusiasm in the morning classes as I encourage energetic training to ensure you get the best start to any day!
BOXING TRAINER. The first time I trained was with my Dad (a foundation member who since passed away) and Peter Matthews on a Sunday morning. Afterwards, I was so exhausted although enjoyed every minute - I was hooked. I began to train 2-3 times a week, and was making progress in my fitness and weight loss goals. I fell pregnant in 2014 and up until the 36 weeks continued my training. I recovered quickly (which I credit to my fitness). I have completed the Level 1 Boxing Coaches Accreditation course and I just generally love the sport of boxing and all the positive energy you gain from a great workout. My long term goal is to one day participate in the Master's Games.

I love the friendly and supportive atmosphere at MVC boxing. At age 46 I have never felt fitter
physically and mentally. It's fantastic that my whole family can work out together, it's certainly
brought us closer together.
KATHERINE KOUMANIDIS
MVC has been a welcome addition to mine and my family’s life over the past 2 years. It has given us the opportunity to spend some rare family time together which these days is precious. It has also been a great confidence booster for our son and has assisted him in developing into an independent and fine young man. I am very grateful to be a part of such a friendly and welcoming community of people. It’s like a second family.
SHARON ARNOL
What really stands out to me about training at MVC is the welcome, the culture and people there.
The trainers are excellent; they push you to do your best but have a great sense of humour. I also really like the mix of different people from a three time Australian champion boxer across to those that are there just to get fit and feel better about themselves. I have learnt a lot in training at MVC.
RAY SWANN
MVC has changed my life. Aside from losing 30kg’s, I have gained enormous confidence in my ability to set and achieve goals. I have reached goals I didn’t even know I had!
It is the most supportive place for women I have ever been involved in whilst at the same time being full of good men and genuine role models for kids.
GIN (VIRGINIA FASAN)
I have been going to MVC boxing Association for over a year now and I love it!! I have gained so much enjoyment, self fulfilment and muscle tone. As I woman I don’t think I have ever felt more empowered in all my life! MVC Boxing Association is not like your regular run of the mill gym, from the moment you set foot inside the atmosphere is just so welcoming and inviting. Everyone I have met at MVC is lovely, and so encouraging from the owners to the trainers and the fellow boxers – not that I can call myself that yet, but I live in hope.
DIANA BROWN
MVC changed my life in so many ways, my fitness, my body, my mind set and most importantly I'm surrounded by supportive, talented people and trainers. I have made beautiful friends and get to train in the best boxing facility in Melbourne. Get on it, there will be no regrets, it's addictive!
MELINDA CANAVAN
MVC Boxing is a fantastic club to be involved with. Everyone here is so welcoming and supportive that you instantly feel at home. Steve and all the trainers do an amazing job and structure their classes to maximise fitness and basic boxing techniques that everyone will enjoy.
My son loves the kids boxing fitness classes with has given him so much more confidence in himself with his performing arts, at school with his leadership role and in sport. I can’t recommend MVC Boxing enough, everyone should try it! .. but be warned, it’s highly addictive.
BEK O'BRIEN
After loosing 25 kilos I needed to find a work out to help maintain the weight loss & increase my fitness. I signed up to MVC for the 6 week women's challenge. I trained for 3 mornings a week for 6 weeks & I was hooked! The cardio boxing workouts are the key reason for maintaining my weight loss, increasing my fitness and learning all about a new sport with experienced & knowledgable trainers. I have now joined MVC as a full member and enjoy workouts through out the week & weekend with loads of class timetable options to suit my busy family & work life.
