Box Wine Weekend EscapeOur Workouts & Wine retreat series is getting feisty! We're taking boxing class outside of the ring and into wine country (yes!) for a weekend of all-levels boxing classes, private wine tastings, farm fresh meals, and evening bonfires. Join us with guest Coach Nikki Campbell of Work Train Fight for the Box Wine Weekend Escape this August!
The fitness: Nikki will lead 1-2 boxing classes per day that focus on high-intensity fitness and learning boxing technique. The workouts will stay true to the Work Train Fight signature bootcamp class (with a Nikki twist) which includes learning how to shadowbox, mitt work and heart pumping body conditioning. Our afternoon classes will take place in the middle of beautiful vineyards and will be more technique based with core and strength work. The retreat: The daily workouts will be complemented by a mix of private wine tastings, local adventures like stand-up paddle boarding, and enjoying local dining. During free time, feel free to explore more vineyards, take a trip over to a nearby town, or decompress on the beach! |

Meet Coach Nikki Campbell
|
Nikki Campbell fell in love with boxing the moment she laced up her first pairs of gloves. She spent several years working in various fashion jobs but always kept coming back to boxing. She was approached by the owner of Work Train Fight to teach; so she quit her job on the spot and pursued her passion. After extensive fitness class training she is now teaching classes, clients and a whole new generation of trainers how to lead! Nikki is fueled by being witness to her client’s inner strength becoming visible through boxing. She is also currently fighting in amateur fights in the NYC area!
Work Train Fight WTF is all about empowerment through boxing and fitness. There are many fitness modalities out there, however none are able to train the mind, body and character like boxing does. They enforce an A-hole Free policy; keeping a positive environment for everyone is a high priority. If they help enough kind hearted people be stronger, then they will one day reach their goal, to change .0001% of the world (they are modest). |

Testimonials about Coach Nikki & Work Train Fight
"The Boxing Fitness Retreat was great. I got to experience using my boxing "skills" in a whole new environment, and I was able to take my workouts to another level which was awesome. We had a diverse group of people so it definitely made the trip interesting. How can you go wrong with boxing and salsa!!! 2 of my favorites things to do!! I thoroughly enjoyed my time!" - Sam R. (Prior Work Train Fight retreat with Ketanga)
"Really great weekend! Working out in a different setting/context is cool, and it's nice to be out of the gym once in a while. Bonus points if you can learn about a different culture at the same time! There's also something really nice about having an oceanfront/rooftop view while your coach is shouting. Sure beats a brick wall or the belt shop across the street!" - Jason W. (Prior Work Train Fight retreat with Ketanga)
"I attended one of Nikki's Box Group classes through Classpass and it was an awesome experience! My friend and I had never boxed before, so we were feeling a little apprehensive but it was more like a circuit training/boot camp-esque experience so once you get used to jabbing and swinging wildly (lose the sense of shame when you walk in the door) it's super fun." - Sophie Y.
