Help finding a boxing club or gym with training

johnswan1 · Post by **johnswan1** » 01 Jul 2005, 10:09

Can anybody direct me to a good boxing club or gym with boxing training that is close to where I live? Preferably on the Central Line, I'm in Holland Park at the moment so the closer the better. Thanks.

I'm not looking to become an amateur boxer nor am I looking to pump up. I just want to do the training, keep fit and maybe some sparring for the moment. Cheers.

Would the St.Pancras club be any good? Or Trojan?

All Stars on Harrow Road is pretty close to you mate..... nearest tube is westbourne park, or a 10 min bus from Notting Hill

They do 3 or 4 nights a week, 7:30 - 9:30, the trainers are all sound and its a pretty good club.

One other thing lads, how do they usually start you off when you go in there as a total beginner?

Yeah.... jUst give them a bell mate.... the numbers at the top of the list on your previous post....

They have a proper amatuer setup - some good young fighters down there, a few pro's (Hussein Osman being one), and then the "white collar" classes some evenings.... give them a bell and see which you fancy

Go to the white collar classes if you ain't done it before mate..... it's still the same trainers that do the amatuer coaching, and they'll basically get you doing everything you would do in a normal training session.... less the sparring. They'll also have more time to go through the basics with you, and there'll be more people at a similar level to you to train with

Whilst we're on the subject of clubs. Can anyone help me locate a club in the Woolwich/ Shooters Hill area of Greenwich. I'm a pro and need somewhere to train while I stay with my sister for a few weeks. Any help would be appreciated
