PRIVATE COACHING AT 50% OFF FOR YOUR FIRST SESSION
Classes come first at H&G. If you want faster technical progress, choose 1-to-1, 2-to-1 or 3-to-1 Training: one coach, one to three people, one session.
The class with John was excellent. First time doing boxing training and he was patient as well as extremely informative when explaining the beginner boxing fundamentals. Highly recommend this class to someone hesitating to start at the beginning.

I attended my first session, coaches were kind, attentive and guided me at my pace. All round great session, intense but worth it and a great addition to my workouts now. Would recommend it if you’re looking to try.

Really great boxing gym with a brilliant, inclusive teacher. I was a bit nervous - as a female I'd never tried boxing before and thought it might be a bit of a boys club! It wasn't at all like that, the atmosphere was great, the lesson tough but fun, and the music even better! Thanks, I'll be back 😊

I attended my first taster session and had such a positive experience. Anton was great—really welcoming, encouraging, and knowledgeable, which made it easy to settle in straight away.
The gym has a fantastic atmosphere and a great energy. I’m usually quite easily intimidated by sports and gym environments, but I felt comfortable.
I’d been looking for something that offered real boxing fitness and training rather than just another boxercise-style class, and this has absolutely delivered. It feels authentic, challenging, and exactly what I was hoping to find.
I’m really looking forward to joining the weekly sessions and continuing to train here. Highly recommended!

Club standard
DISCIPLINE, RESPECT AND PROPER COACHING
Real boxing is controlled, technical and respectful. Beginners, regulars and competitive boxers share the same floor with the same basic rule: train properly and treat people properly.
Coaches set the tone. You will be shown what to do, corrected when you need it, and given a clear route into the right class.
If you are searching for the best, friendliest or most beginner-friendly boxing club, start with the criteria rather than the claim. These guides explain how H&G tries to meet the standard.
Wear comfortable sportswear and trainers. Bring a water bottle. We provide all boxing equipment including gloves, wraps, and pads. Just turn up ready to train.
Do I need boxing experience?
+
No experience needed. We have complete beginners in every session. Our coaches will teach you proper technique from the ground up. Everyone starts somewhere.
Do I need to be fit to start?
+
No. You build fitness by training - you do not need it beforehand. Beginners start at their own pace and the work scales to whatever level you walk in at. Most people are surprised how quickly their conditioning improves once they are training regularly.
How much does it cost?
+
All sessions are pay-as-you-go with no contracts or sign-up fees. Prices start from £5 per session depending on the class. Serving Armed Forces and active NHS staff get 50% off adult recreational class prices with proof of occupation, paying £5 instead of £10. See our full pricing breakdown on the prices page and the NHS and Armed Forces discount page.
What age groups do you cater for?
+
We train boxers from age 7 upwards. Junior Recreational is for ages 7-16, Junior Competitive is for ages 10-16, and adult sessions are for 17+. There is no upper age limit - we have members in their 50s training regularly.
Do I have to spar or compete?
+
No. Our recreational classes focus on technique, fitness, and pad work - no sparring required. If you want to compete, we have dedicated Elite sessions with sparring and competition preparation. It's your choice.
