THUMP Training Systems was developed in 2001 by Christian Marchegiani, a boxing for fitness tr ainer in New York with the YMCA. On returning to Australia Christian noticed a massive cultural shift in group exercise training.

Instructors were relying on other sources and organisations to constantly supply them with material for their training sessions. Imagination and creativity seemed to be a thing of the past as fitness leaders were left to educate themselves or follow the industry trend in group exercise.

There was no formal accreditation or education process for trainers to gain qualifications to instruct boxing for fitness which led to an increased risk of injury to participants.

As the demand grew for more instructor training and education, THUMP Training Systems developed into a national organisation, with over ten presenters, and three certification courses.

THUMP Boxing is now taught in over 60 gyms/fitness centres across Australia while THUMP Training Systems is committed to providing the most up to date research and education to all fitness and health professionals.
