“Dexter
Delves is my boxing instructor at the Fitness
Institute. I have a life long love affair with
the art and science of boxing and am therefore
not easily impressed by someone who claims
to be adept at it...Dex understands that and
more. He is an insatiable taskmaster, never,
ever content with the disciple’s effort.
Don’t expect any sympathy for your pain;
don’t complain about heat and exhaustion,
because that is the way of a fighter…He
will get you in a superb shape, which is only
the first rung in the ladder. You will come
to understand the intricacies of a single thrown
punch, so that the fist delivers a simple message.
Dexter Delves will show you a way out and also
get you in the shape of your life.
Edward Vidgen I met Dex on a referral from
another club member. I am a 47 year old male
and have been in reasonable shape for a few
years, being a regular practitioner of martial
arts. The intensity of my fitness regimen would
ebb and flow around gradings and tournaments,
but I was training on a fairly regular basis.
In addition, I was teaching at my karate dojo
every Saturday. My karate training was getting
a little stale, so I took a leave of absence
for the summer to train with Dex in boxing
and kickboxing. I am pleased to tell you that,
from a fitness point of view, this was the
best move I ever made.
This is a total workout; there isn’t
any part left unattended. I recommend Dexter
to anyone who wants to get in shape, improve
their shape, learn self-defence, or just look
and feel better. |
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS “After the shock of having a "stroke" and agonizing with an old torn-up "rugby shoulder", I thought I was ready for the "glue factory", but instead, after being introduced to Dexter at the Fitness Institute, I started kickboxing just after my 57th birthday…Dexter is a firm believer of fitness first, then instruction! My strength, speed, co-ordination and flexibility have improved immensely! The simple day to day physical activities are easier and take less effort. Knowledge and appreciation of the sport go "hand in hand" with the improved fitness. I find it interesting, rewarding and useful. Whether traveling abroad or in downtown Toronto, the coaching and training is invaluable. Dexter is a professional and his experience and talent shows up at every class.” Dennys Van Fleet T.D. Waterhouse Strength, cardio and flexibility all in one. Dexter 's kickboxing provides it all. I have been working out with Dexter since the start of 2004. Dexter is a patient coach that has worked with my level of ability throughout the year. As my boxing skills have improved, Dexter has increased the workout to compensate for my level. This allows me to maintain a high level of enthusiasm for all my workouts. The kickboxing format has worked for me. I wanted a workout where I could focus on training and nothing else. The intensity of the workout makes me focus for the whole hour. In particular with a busy schedule at work it provides me a much needed escape. I especially like the sparing that Dexter and I do. The best part is he lets you hit him and in return he gives you a big smile. I have seen great improvements during a very short period of time. My strength and cardio has improved, however the greatest improvement is a stronger back, as we do a number of core exercises. In addition my hips which felt like they were in a vice have released, this has given me much greater flexibility. I would strongly recommend Dexter for anyone looking for a great all around workout.
