What to Expect On Day One
Walking into a boxing gym for the first time can feel daunting. Here's exactly what happens when you come through our doors.
Just Turn Up
No booking, no commitment, no fuss. Come in comfortable clothes and trainers. Arrive 10 minutes before the session starts.
Meet the Team
One of our coaches will welcome you, show you around, and get you gloved up. We'll match you to the right session for your experience level.
Train Hard
You'll warm up, work on the bags, do pad rounds with a coach, and leave absolutely buzzing. £3 at the end — that's it.
Come Back
You'll want to. Everybody does. This is where the journey starts — and it gets better every single session.
Got a Question?
Do I need my own equipment?
Not for your first session. Gloves and wraps are available to borrow. Once you're training regularly, we'd recommend investing in your own — a coach can advise you on what to get.
Is it safe for complete beginners?
Absolutely. Beginners never spar until they — and the coach — feel they're ready for it. All sparring is controlled and supervised. Your safety is always the priority.
What's the minimum age?
Our Tiny Titans program runs for ages 7–15. Adult sessions are open to those aged 16 and over. There's no upper age limit — we have members in their 50s still loving it.
Do I need to be fit to start?
Not at all. Boxing training gets you fit — you don't need to be fit first. Our coaches are experienced at working with all fitness levels and will never push you beyond what's right for you.
Can I compete if I want to?
Yes — if that's your goal. Our coaches will guide you through getting your ABA boxing card and matching you to appropriate competitions when you're ready. Competing is always optional.
How do I get started?
Just check the timetable above and turn up to a Beginners session. Or, if you'd rather say hello first, get in touch and we'll answer any questions you have.
