Corner HQ: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Best boxing gym in Manchester!
Thanks Amr! Really appreciate it
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with knowledgable and friendly coaches and staff. Very welcoming to people of all levels with a brilliant mixture of workouts for those either looking to get simply fitter, take boxing a bit more seriously or prep for a fight.
Thank you Rich! Glad to hear you are enjoying the gym and we look forward to seeing you at the gym soon
Fantastic experience: Such a cool gym, feels like the perfect space for a beginner. The class was challenging, but in a good way. Not to mention the gym itself is really nice and you can see they put a lot of effort into making it so.
Thanks Adam! Really appreciate your kind review and glad you enjoyed your session. Hope to see you back in the gym soon!
Fantastic experience: A mega boxing class with super professional trainers and an inclusive atmosphere. The trainer of the introduction class - Connor - runs a really informative and exciting lesson. The gamification process means you don’t have to work about tracking your progress it’s all done for you. I highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Amazing boxing gym with quality coaches! I've been training here for about 6 weeks, highly recommend the women's bootcamp if you're new/getting back into boxing (also gives you free access to all the classes which is unreal). Honestly the most inclusive and friendly gym I've ever been to, whilst still being a proper boxing gym with classes for all abilities (from beginners boxing to sparring to circuits/conditionining) and so much experience and knowledge between the coaches. Plus the trackers add a fun element of being able to monitor you're progress. Could not recommend more plus its a great way to meet new people!
Fantastic experience: As someone new to boxing, Corner HQ is the perfect place to start. Beginners classes break down every detail, making it really easy to get started. Other sessions are split to focus on both technique and fitness, so you can pick & choose and get exactly what you want from them. The boxing trackers chart your progress, giving you more motivation to improve every time. Can’t recommend enough.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love training here, have never trained somewhere where everyone’s so welcoming and talented! So good for every level of boxing!! You won’t regret training here
Fantastic experience: Been coming here for nearly a year now, improved so much from initially having absolutely no idea what to lol great classes, coaches, people and general vibes. If you wanna throw yourself into boxing this is the place to do it cheers Connor
Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed my time at Corner! It’s a great boxing gym with lovely coaches.
Thank you so much Felipa! We're looking forward to having you back soon.
Fantastic experience: I joined almost two months ago as a first time boxer and i have enjoyed every session i’ve attended! All the coaches are so lovely & each have their own style of training which gives variety if attending different classes across the week/month. Other gym members are also very willing to help if you get stuck - it’s a real team effort! Conor (usually has the headband boxing ball on) will be sure to welcome you with open arms & a big smile making you feel 10x more comfortable :)) (plus he’ll catch all your great angles whilst in action) I couldn’t recommend this gym more to anyone wanting to try new classes & learn some new skills!
Fantastic experience: Wanted somewhere friendly to train whilst in town and found it. Loved the Just Boxing class, just the right mix of skill development and cardio. Will be back next time we are in Manchester.
Thank you guys! We'll be sure to say hello when we're next down south :)
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym and great coaching. Great range of classes available teaching you to box from complete beginner to advanced. Everyone is really lovely and you can see your progress week on week.
Fantastic experience: 5stars all the way! Staff friendly, atmosphere welcoming and as an amateur boxer I have to say - this place is great! Great equipment and knowledgeable staff, the trackers make give a new aspect to training I hadn’t experienced and loved it. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Great gym! I joined in January and still here now. Variety of different sessions throughout the week ranging from pure box fitness to learning techniques and sparring. All the coaches have been quality. Connor the gym manager is mega friendly. Community is great and growing! Seeing a lot of familiar faces now. Finally there is a focus on the wearable boxing trackers that measure your punching speed power and KO points which gets me in the competitive spirit. The only slight downside is that the learn to box sessions can get fully booked, so I've made the habit of booking the classes far in advance now!
Thank you Shash, watch this space for timetable changes!
Fantastic experience: I'm so glad to have discovered Corner HQ in the past few weeks. It's a welcoming gym suitable for all levels with a great mix of encouraging and friendly trainers. I've been trying to find a halfway house between regular old circuit classes and sparring, and for me this is perfect and fills a much needed gap in the Manchester Market (the gym does do sparring but I haven't yet!). This will become a weekly staple for me, and can't recommend it enough, whether you are a boxing novice, experienced or just after something different in your workout routine.
Fantastic experience: Had an amazing time at Corner HQ attending the Beginners Boxing class being complete new to boxing and exercising in general! The place is really cool and my instructor, Conor, was brilliant at making me feel welcome and enjoy myself as well as teaching me all the boxing basics. Would recommend this place to anyone, it’s a really cool space and the live tracking of your speed, power, punches thrown and KO points is incredible!
Fantastic experience: Went to my first boxing class! All my fears of feeling intimidated by a boxing gym were gone! The facilities are amazing (clean and nice changing rooms), Connor our trainer was brilliant! We also had these hand trackers which meant you could see your progress, very cool. Really looking forward to going again.
Fantastic experience: Great gym! The stuff where very helpful, I spoke with a young man named connor who was extremely insightful and knowledgeable about boxing and everything the gym offered.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Corner HQ for nearly a month now, having one to one weekly sessions with Conor. His sessions are really well structured, great coach and he’s happy to tailor them to anything specific I want to focus on. Limited boxing experience before so it’s helped having such a welcoming place to train and the trackers are great for measuring progress. Keen to try the range of classes that are available soon as well
Fantastic experience: It's the first time going to this boxing gym, I'm completely new to it so I was apprehensive initially but all the staff are friendly and supportive and the other gym goers here have built a good welcoming community! I ended up having a great productive session as well as a good laugh doing it If you're thinking about joining a boxing gym but feel nervous about it, I'd argue this is the best place to start, you'll be in good hands!
Fantastic experience: I have an amateur fight coming up, so I needed extra lessons and experience outside of my usual gym - So I went down for a Just Box session and by the end i signed up for 3 months! I cant recommend this place enough - From people who just want to get fitter, to sparring pro's on a Saturday (Only if you want to!) This gym has what you need. 100% recommend.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant coaches and facilities. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Amazing class, Marvin was excellent. Really helped to perfect my technique. Will definitely be back.
Fantastic experience: Sick facilities, best I’ve seen for a boxing gym and certi coach (Marvin). Highly recommended 10/10
Fantastic experience: great facility with brilliant trainers and positive atmosphere. Had a brilliant time as a first time trainee
Fantastic experience: This is what you call a legit boxing gym. They use advance technology to help track your progress and the coachs are very helpful and super friendly
Fantastic experience: Great Training session led by Marvin. First session was free too soo I can't recommend this guy and his gym more!
Fantastic experience: Awesome set up! Great trainers, great classes and absolutely love the vibe!
Fantastic experience: Great vibe, Marvin's a top coach and everyone there was welcoming. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Unreal gym. Nice tech and ring. Trainers are first class. Marvin introduced and he didn’t disappoint
Fantastic experience: Such a cool looking gym and was made to feel so welcome as a total boxing beginner
Fantastic experience: Great facility with amazing trainers and high end technology to keep track of your progress and how you could improve your boxing. Highly recommend for beginners or pro's
Fantastic experience: Marvin is an amazing coach. For anyone looking to learn how to box & the fundamentals of the sport I wouldn’t recommend anyone else! It’s a friendly environment no egos or anything else.
Fantastic experience: Such a cool place and vibe, if your into boxing and the technical elements go take a look. The trainers are spot on and the tracking technology is second to none.
Fantastic experience: Been to a few boxing gyms/MMA before but this has to be one of my favourites! The vibe is great and the boys are extremely welcoming for ‘newbes’ 100% would recommend!
Fantastic experience: Went down to the gym for the first time on Sunday for some sparring. Top class gym and facilities, Marvin is a great coach.
Fantastic experience: Honestly What. A. Gym! From such friend owners to an amazing workout to all the stats you need to see how to improve. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, very welcoming environment and dog friendly. The classes and tutors are amazing, couldn’t recommend more
Fantastic experience: I've tried multiple boxing gyms in Manchester, Corner HQ has definitely been one of the best, great space, great equipment, great coaches and an assortment of classes at reasonable times for those that work 9-5 I personally attend the Just box classes, teaching really good fundamentals while pushing yourself throughout the session, for those that just want pure fitness there are the Box HIIT sessions that are shorter but a more intense cardio workout. Also included are trackers, with stats for your punches, power, speed and overall score which actually makes you push yourself harder to see your scores go up, great addition to the classes. Although a little more expensive than some, I think the price is well worth it to get access to great classes and professional coaches with fight experience, don't think ill find a better overall boxing gym pretty much in the city centre (just past Piccadilly station) Would highly recommend booking a class and trying it out for yourself!
Fantastic experience: If you're thinking of getting into boxing, I highly recommend heading down to Corner HQ! Just finished my first boxing HITT session with Marvin, great training, facilities and supportive atmosphere. Thanks again guys, I'll be back soon!
Thank you for taking the time to send a review and we are really glad you enjoyed your session! We are looking forward to having you back at the gym and taking your boxing further.
Fantastic experience: Myself and Best friend just went for our first HIITboxing session with Coach Marvin, loved it - will definitely be back. Highly recommend, his singing wasn’t bad either.
Thank you for your review and we are glad you enjoyed the session! Looking forward to having you back and perhaps we will do a sing off between all the coaches one day :D
Fantastic experience: Great HIIT session here, challenged me in the best way. Marvin is an excellent trainer, really motivating and encouraging with advice on technique. The trackers definitely work to make you push for that extra 10%!
Fantastic experience: Been going to Corner HQ for a few months and I've enjoyed every session. As a beginner, they've taught me key boxing skills and pushed me hard to improve each session. Using the electronic wrist bands helps to set a marker to track your progress and push yourself to beat your previous results.
Fantastic experience: Loved my first Box hiit class. A mix of boxing technique (but not too daunting or overwhelming), and cardio. Maybe a good class if you've done a little boxing before, but if not the teachers are sound. The space is cool and the location works well for me. Definitely coming back.
Fantastic experience: Best boxing gym in Manchester, helpful staff the latest equipment. Has innovated boxing for me. Marvin is your guy to go to if you want to level up your boxing best coach around
Fantastic experience: Great space and amazing energy, really enjoyed having Jerry as a trainer. Doesn't matter your level they accommodate to all, which is hard to find. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Very inclusive boxing gym - recommend boot camp for beginners. All the trainers are super helpful and knowledgeable about the trackers. Every session I've been able to see myself improve in fitness which is really cool. Definitely worth the money, I think this is the most committed I have ever been to a fitness programme - feeling really strong and healthy!
Fantastic experience: A welcoming boxing gym offering everything from HIIT classes to sparring sessions! Great facilities both indoors and outdoors, with the added bonus of state of the art technology to monitor your performance. They offer women only classes too, very welcoming and not intimidating at all thanks to the great sense of community. Even walking in for the first time you’ll feel like you’re part of the corner community! Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Very high tech gym with the best kit, everything you need and more. The coaches are brilliant, easy to talk to, very knowledgeable and good people. The gym is also very aesthetically pleasing and a great place to train. Great experience overall.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place, I'm an avid gym goer and this is my favourite place to train. Boxing coach Ash is professional boxing coach who I enjoy training with. My fitness levels and technique has improved so much since starting here. Plus everyone is so cool, no big egos.
Fantastic experience: Great facilities. Amazing trainers. Bootcamp is fantastic. Great vibe and welcoming. Best boxing gym I’ve been to in Manchester. Great to see all female classes incorporated into schedule.
Fantastic experience: Trying to go out a little less at the weekends in January so I tried the Friday night class. Loved it! Super cute space and their tech is amazing-bluetooth strips that strap under your gloves. Tracking punches allowed for some light competition and also allows me to see progression. One of the best choices I’ve made in 2023 so far :)

Fantastic experience: Really good gym, the tech is amazing and really pushes you by holding you accountable! The trainers is very knowledgeable and welcoming and the place is very very clean compared to a traditional boxing gym, very modern
Fantastic experience: Great place to train, the staff were really helpful in showing me use how to the equipment I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get into boxing or just fitness.
Fantastic experience: Gem of a spot. It's a good set up, decent kit & ring - old school fundamentals mixed with data to feedback on effort. Marvin is a good bloke, well schooled coach/fighter himself, and there's a good atmosphere & community feel
Fantastic experience: Marvin was a pleasure to work with, taught me a lot in the space of 1 hour. Very cool new concept to track your punch work rate, very impressed from start to finish!!! Will definitely return.
Fantastic experience: Great class led by Marvin!! I thought he was an excellent instructor. I’ve tried boxing before but the difference was Marvin really spent time teaching the techniques which I liked as I’m new to boxing. It was great for a mix of abilities as the tracker used tracks your own abilities (power, speed etc). The music was good too and the place has a really cool vibe about it.
Fantastic experience: AMAZING GYM, AMAZING WORKOUTS! Corner is ideal for anyone who’s interested in boxing (beginners or pros), learning new tips n’ tricks for your workouts or just a great vibe with lovely peps!✨ Head coach Marvin is exceptional and goes beyond to help you achieve your goals, he will definitely make you sweat for it Get yourself down there, it won’t disappoint!!
Fantastic experience: The right mix of old school and high tech boxing gym. Professional stuff and coaches, Marvin is a walking library for everything connected to boxe, history, techniques, diet, training programs... Jerry, the owner, is an amazing person, serious and always available! Technology and innovation are the key words for Corner gym. Unique in Manchester!
Fantastic experience: Just had my first 1-2-1 session with Coach Marvin and I loved it!!! The space is so nice for a boxing gym, very pleasing on the eye and absolutely loved the tech. It was great seeing my punch stats live on the screen Back again tomorrow for another 1-2-1 can't wait!
