Fantastic experience: New venue, same amazing coach. Highly recommend. Mickey knows his stuff - and he can train you, whatever your background and fitness level. I joined to improve my health and confidence with striking. I would never normally join a gym, but this place is different. Mickey doesn’t just teach the art and skills of boxing, he brings you into a community. He has an eye for good people and is always in your corner. His unfailing positivity is infectious. Mickey helps you find the strength within to get back up again and keep fighting, even when you didn’t think it possible. Check this place out. You won’t regret it!

chris brannick 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Although I started going to Mickey's gym in my late 50s (I'm now 61) and there were a lot of uber-pumped fit people around, I always felt welcomed. It's a great atmosphere, you'll feel pushed and challenged, but you'll always feel respected. I seriously recommend this gym. It did amazing things for my mental health as well as my physical. And Mickey himself is a great laugh.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Mickey for over five years now. He is an engaging, funny and knowledgeable coach who makes everyone feel welcome. When I first came I had never boxed in my life and now it’s one of the things I look forward to each week. That’s in large part thanks to Mickey but also the community of boxers of all ages and skill levels who make it a real family. A great place to train, to get fitter and to meet new people.

ROB MURRAY 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined MBOX just under a year ago. Best decision I've made in a long time. The main emphasis was to shed a few pounds (8KG to date) whilst having some fun. Don't worry if you've never done a press up or thrown a punch before! Get yourself down there and have some fun. You'll train beside people of all ages and abilities including a number of professional fighters. The camaraderie at MBOX is something you'll be hard pushed to find elsewhere. Well done Mickey for creating this Forest Gate gem.

Gavin 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Mickey’s the coach. I’ve been going for about 4 months now. No martial arts background. Hardly any exercise background. Fancied going to a boxing gym. Thought it’d be a good idea just to lose some weight. Turns out he’s got a good mix of people round him. He’s got skill in finding good people, and skill in keeping them with him, too. Professional boxers train alongside you, others who’ve boxed long enough to dance round as they skip, and others who happily plod and jog through the class (like me). Mickey brings you along with the pros as you train and develop. You don’t even need to originally be interested in boxing, the fun is in developing new skills, or advancing an already well developed one, and everybody’s all doing that together as a team. The gym is a good space to exercise. There’s a big ring and the heavy boxing bags. Mickey manages the space well. Keeps the equipment safe to use. Shows you well how to do things, how to use things. And it can be anything. Kettle bells. The punch bag. Boxing pads. A skateboard. A truck tyre. A foam ball. He manages the people well, builds a good atmosphere, keeps the motivation strong. When he trains one-on-one with you, say on pads, he’ll work at your skill, plus one. Always slightly ahead to push you further. He keeps an eye on you through the class to make sure you’re ok and that you're training well. And he’s a real professional. A good teacher. A good coach. I’ve lost a good 12kg at least. And MBOX is really fun. I’m having fun and getting fitter. It’s a great experience, and local, too. Five stars. Thumbs up. I'm looking forward to tomorrow’s class.

Irfan Riaz 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Been coming here a few months now and I can honestly say its one of the best boxing gyms ive been to. It has every type of punching bag you can think of and best of all it has its own boxing ring. They do monthly memberships or PAYG. Micky who runs the gym is fantastic, great trainer and even a better personality.

Patrick Evans 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: I got into boxing training through Mbox and its been one of the best things I've done. There is a warm, friendly encouraging atmosphere but it also has the the demands you want from boxing and any intense exercise. Perfect for beginners and experienced boxers alike Mickey , the owner and trainer, knows how to approach your strengthes from the start and always has a smile on his face. My skills in boxing have only improved but above all my confidence has come on in spades. Everytime I walk out of Mbox I feel 10 feet tall and I would encourage anyone interested in boxing or exercise to come to Mbox and be welcomed to the Mbox Fam. Do it

stuart lawson 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: What a fantastic and welcoming environment to train in. The highest quality tuition, with a warm and friendly approach to the art of boxing. I have to say that Mickey is one of the most down to earth and personable trainers I've ever trained with. If you're looking for a feel good place that offers the best in technique, core training, sports specific boxing combinations and most importantly a family vibe - Mbox is the place to be!
