Box Up Gyms

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for EXCEPTIONAL boxing coaching that transcends above and beyond, look no further than Joel Kodua. From the moment I stepped into box up gym, I knew I was in for something special. Joel is top-tier, his dedication to his craft is unparalleled. Every session with Joel is a masterclass in boxing technique, conditioning, and fighter mentality. He doesn’t just teach you how to throw punches; he teaches you the art of boxing—the strategy, the mindset, and the discipline required to excel to OUTSTANDING. Even when he was away at his own training camp, he ensured I received professional-level guidance from Rishi. Rishi delivered training that was nothing short of exceptional. His energy, attention to detail, made the sessions intense yet rewarding. I’ve seen a remarkable transformation in my skills and confidence. If you want serious boxing training, this is where you need to be. The experience is phenomenal, and I couldn’t be more excited about my progress!

Fantastic experience: My son went to this gym for free at Thursday 5:30 he told me his first experience was great and the people were friendly and he made 2 friends

Fantastic experience: Cool

Fantastic experience: Such a good gym with amazing and inspiring staff members.

Fantastic experience: If you want to learn to box properly with great equipment and guidance this is the place to be! Shout out to Tiana, she is a great motivator!

Fantastic experience: Lovely gym for both beginners and seniors.. Good choice of classes although the 8.45pm class is a little late! Would highly recommend as the staff are amazing and so friendly

Fantastic experience: I love this place! Joined up last year when in a moonboot and with a walking stick, having broken my foot, and feel so much fitter, stronger and more excited about boxing now! I've been to various boxfit type classes which I've enjoyed in the past but wanted to step it up a bit and learn more about technique. The instructors are fantastic, especially Reach, Benni, Tianna, Russell, Joel and more (sorry if I forgot you!). They are very knowledgeable and incredibly good at getting us to work and on top of that, really friendly! As a female, I absolutely adore the women's class on a Tuesday night. Everyone who goes is so much fun and they work so hard! It's usually run by Reach and we've learned a lot of technique which has been great fun! It is, unfortunately, the only women's class during the week, but there are another 25-23 mixed classes everyone can attend. I've really enjoyed Kwanga Pump (like bodypump) and several of the boxing classes as they do both basic and more advanced classes. On top of classes, there is a lot of equipment which you can come in and use whenever you like, including bags, weights, resistance machines, cardio machines etc. I haven't managed to use them all yet and it's been a year! I really look forward to every visit and always come out feeling I've worked hard and am improving. I think I'll be there for a few more years!

Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic boxing gym offering a range of classes in addition to training as you wish with bags and equipment. I've been a member for over a year and always leave feeling a huge high and my fitness, technical skill and strength have all vastly improved! Classes are amazing! There are about 30 classes, including boxing basics, advanced boxing classes, HIIT type classes, fit and strong, body pump, sparring and even skipping. One of these 30 is a women only class but women are welcome at all classes. Instructors are great - motivating and usually delivering well thought out classes. I absolutely love going to a class and like to stay to use equipment afterwards too. Downstairs, there is a boxing ring, about 5 bags, several types of cardio machine, bars, weights, racks and much more. Upstairs, there are two rooms, one often used for classes, containing bags and weights; the other with rowing machine, bikes, weights, cable machines and more. Equipment is well maintained, although some bags are old, but there seems to be a programme of replacement. The monthly fee on the highest membership is about £40/month which makes classes excellent value. Having been a member of Nuffield, Vision and Fitness First gyms during the last 20 years, I've found the the atmosphere at Box-Up to be the most welcoming and the staff very keen to help. Definitely worth coming to try it out!

Fantastic experience: State of the art Boxing gym. Top level coaches&trainers. Staff are really welcoming and supportive. Very clean, hygienic and positive environment ! Absolutely the right place to train for all skill levels!

Fantastic experience: Great session. Intense and inspiring great trainer big shouts AP

Fantastic experience: I LOVE Box Up gyms, by far the friendliest and most welcoming gym I have ever used. The atmosphere is infectious and fun, helps you to feel so motivated, and I always leave with a smile on my face. There are two floors to the gym. A great selection of machines, weights and kit, and loads of classes scheduled throughout the week (mixed and women only). The staff and the trainers are always on hand to offer support and encouragement. They provide suggestions to ensure you’re getting the most out of your visit, and the place has a real, family and community ethos. It’s often a little quieter during the day, so perfect for parents who are wanting to get some fitness routine in place whilst the kids are in school. And did I mention it is super affordable too… I’m working 121 with Reach, he’s one of the PT’s, he’s devised a tailored program for me, including cardio, resistance, strength and boxing, so it’s kept me super enthusiastic and engaged and my progress has been incredible. I'm so grateful to him for his encouragement, creativity and compassion… knowing when I need a push, and when I’ve needed to adapt the programme to support an old injury. They also have an amazing physio and sports injury specialist on site called Anicka, she’s been supporting me with ongoing sessions, that have really improved an old and existing injury to recover well. I’m so happy I’ve joined, they’ve been meeting all of my needs, and I intend to stay!

Fantastic experience: Great work out

Fantastic experience: Loved it

Fantastic experience: I attended the Kwanga Pump and the Boxing class. Both of them were sick, my body was shattered but I felt so good after. The instructors are so chill and friendly and make you want to come back.

Fantastic experience: Really great gym near my work, great service, friendly staff, good price for a whole day!

Fantastic experience: Was a little daunting at first, but great class, great coach would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Will definitely get your pulse raising and learnt a few good moves!

Fantastic experience: I like it a lot as it guides you if you make mistakes and improves your boxing

Fantastic experience: Im really enjoying taking classes here and have a great experience everytime I come here. The coaches are always active and friendly and they motivate you to keep going I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to get into boxing or even if they want to lose weight. We do a lot of cardio excercises

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to a few boxing gym/studios and this is easily one of the best. Brand spanking new, great equipment and Shadie really put me through my paces on the pads….I noticed he was very attentive to the level of the client in regards to fitness and skill set. Very positive energy and environment to work out, I’ll be a regular there for sure!

Fantastic experience: 10/10

Fantastic experience: Really friendly staff and good variety of classes to choose from. Enjoyed the vibes, but I do wish the classes were just a smidge more instructional on technique. Overall great experience.

Fantastic experience: Marvellous, Hard trainer, you will see the change on you

Fantastic experience: No nonsense training. The classes were really meant to push you to your limit. It was my first exercise class in a very long time but the trainer encouraged me and kept telling me to keep pushing. Great ethic, great gym.

Fantastic experience: Would recommend to anyone who wants to get fit, have fun and meet new people. The staff are amazing and are there to help anytime all the time. Make me feel very welcome and part of the family. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: 10/10, great support.

Fantastic experience: Professional team

Negative experience: Upon initially joining BoxUp Gym, I was drawn to its inviting atmosphere and promises of top-notch training. However, my experience quickly deteriorated. The decline in the quality of training is evident, with trainers now seemingly more interested in personal gains than providing comprehensive instruction to paying members. The focus on upselling additional services on top of monthly memberships is disheartening and detracts from the gym's primary purpose. Furthermore, the lack of consideration for male members, as highlighted by the abrupt cancellations of men's classes and the prioritization of women's classes, is unacceptable. This gender bias, coupled with the absence of essential equipment and the abundance of broken machinery, reflects a severe neglect of member needs. Additionally, billing discrepancies and inadequate customer service further exacerbate the issues faced by loyal members. The failure to address complaints and the mishandling of membership cancellations demonstrate a lack of professionalism and accountability on the part of gym management. In conclusion, my experience at BoxUp Gym has been overwhelmingly negative, leaving me feeling undervalued and disillusioned. I urge management to address these issues promptly and take concrete steps to improve the overall quality of service.

Fantastic experience: I LOVED IT,it was very challenging and got me pushing myself

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place. The energy is infectious and the team is hard working and motivated. Most days I show up tired and lacking energy, and when I finish my training I leave regenerated and ready to kick start my day. I'd like to thank Praises and AP Fitness for pushing me beyond my limitations! Your coaching is outstanding!

Fantastic experience: It's like a new beginning for me....Such a friendly environment.... feeling so good there...

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, very friendly a great experience with asim thank you very much

Fantastic experience: Nice friendly staff, very welcoming

Fantastic experience: I’ve come here for a bit more than a month so far, and I think by far it’s one of the best places a person can go to to improve themselves. You feel frightened or nervous at first cos you don’t know how the atmosphere is gonna be like until you get in, everyone is improving each other and themselves, coaches are there to always help you (huge kudos to Coach A, Coach Reach and Coach Jen, world class coaches), and you can come in for as many sessions as you like. Healthy mine is a healthy body and here your gonna develop both I guarantee, it’s gonna be hard work and the exercises are honestly tough but the payout you get being in the family and improving yourself is well worth it.

Fantastic experience: One of the best boxing club in london

Fantastic experience: The gym is nice and well equip. I enjoy the 7:15pm session every Tuesday.

Fantastic experience: After going to a regular gym for many years I wanted to change it up and started training at BoxUp about a month ago with no prior experience. It’s a welcoming and friendly gym. When I first joined I had no idea what I was doing with the gloves, but Joel has been a great trainer from the start. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Amazing. Really. it's only like my tenth lesson, and I've learnt so much. I learn something new every day. I meet so many different types of people that go to the gym. I watch to maybe learn something new from people who have been going longer than me, and even someone that has been going for 3 years learns something new. It's a really amazing atmosphere. I'm going to try their sparing soon, and when I do I'll update on what the experience was like. definitely worth the price

Fantastic experience: Kelsey is very supportive and always be patient in coaching. I highly recommend her!!

Fantastic experience: Rishi has been a massive help in the gym giving the best boxing advice and helping those in seek of knowledge advance not only on their physical side but technical side of boxing a great asset to the gym

Fantastic experience: I visited for the first time today & wished I did it sooner. I’ve never tried boxing before & I was unsure about it but as soon as I walked in everyone had a smile & made you feel so welcome! I was shown around & Jen was so lovely and made me feel very relaxed and took time out to speak to me. Big shout out to Moses who I did my first class with, positive energy and good vibes and I now only want to get better. This will be my regular spot now to get fit & learn a new skill. Thank you guys!

Fantastic experience: Boxup Gyms is a truly inspiring and motivational place to reach your fitness and boxing goals. With motivational young people who are brilliant on the pads by the likes of Rishi and Fabian, to seasoned boxing coaches such as Jen who has been pivotal in community leadership and youth engagement. I would encourage everyone to come down, there is something for all, regardless of age, gender or boxing ability.

I have met some lovely people that are now apart of my family but I must say jen has taught me everything I know she has been there for me since day one,she looks after everyone that walks through the door and makes sure they know what they are doing and they feel comfortable. Jen is honestly and Inspiration to me and many others she is genuinely a kind hearted and loving person towards everyone no matter who they are. -sasha white

Fantastic experience: I worked with Jen at the gym and she by far is the best coach ever!!! So understanding and determined to help out everyone. Such a motherly figure.

Fantastic experience: I walked in to enquire one day, to be honest I was originally quite intimidated but as soon as a I spoke to a lovely member of staff called Jen my anxiety faded. She made me feel welcome and reassured me that anyone was welcome, also that everyone works with you from your ability and pushes you to reach your goals. I signed up and am pushing towards the goals I once set and surprising myself every time I train. Thanks Jen, amazing coach!
