BOKWA Fitness is energetic, exciting, exuberant and exhilarating and consistently remains challenging, yet can also be tailored for every type of individual.
How many calories you burn: The amount of calories burned during a class varies depending on your individual fitness level but you can expect to burn upwards of 500 calories in an hour's class.
Body parts it tones: Bokwa will get every muscle in your body working and thanks to the use of light boxing your arms will get a good workout too.
