Fantastic experience: Do it.

Fantastic experience: I haven’t trained there yet, but had a pricey parcel weirdly delivered there. Despite making so many calls to the delivery company and all, I finally figured out it was this place! From a super low quality obscured delivery photo! Millie was amazing, and had also been making a ton of calls and posts to find the owner of the parcel. She went above and beyond, even with such little info too! From a frustrating situation, to a brilliant one! I picked up my safely kept parcel. Also, coincidentally, I’ve actually been planning to sign up there. Finally going to start sparring again! So, thanks so much to Millie, her dad, and all! And I’ll ecstatically be back super soon, with gloves on!

Fantastic experience: Great place to box!

Fantastic experience: My boy has been coming here since he was 9, after trying the Martial Arts thing. The club (boxing) has taught him self discipline and an awareness of and respect for others.

Positive experience: My friend and I attended our first boxing class here, the recreational Tuesday class. We had a really enjoyable experience, the class was intense but the staff were friendly. They were good at explaining terms we weren’t familiar with but at points could have gone into more detail as they knew we were beginners. They gave us free water bottles when they saw us struggling and were overall supportive.

Fantastic experience: Great boxing club, delivering challenging and varied sessions. Friendly staff foster a very positive and encouraging environment.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic boxing club, great ethos. Highly recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Best club in London

Fantastic experience: I’ve trained at the club for 5 years and travel 35 miles each way to get there, I do that because it’s the Best amateur boxing club I’ve trained at, there’s a big female squad and always plenty of sparring.the atmosphere at the club is great, it’s like one big family, there’s no hierarchy with males and females that you sometimes see at boxing clubs, and there’s so many opportunities to compete (if that’s what you want to do). Ive won numerous titles with the club and that was due to the great coaching, sparring, support from the whole IBC team and lots of opportunities to progress. There’s a variety of classes, so whether you want to get fit or compete you should check it out

Fantastic experience: Great club with great people and a ton of heart. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a boxing club in North London.

Fantastic experience: Wow, whoa nelly, what a gym.

Fantastic experience: Amazing club for all levels, from recreational/beginners to competitive. The competitive sessions are amazing and have taken my skills to the next level. The coaches are great and knowledgeable and will make you work hard. Very welcoming club to women and high quality sparring. I love that it’s a family run club, makes it personable even though it’s a decent size club.

Fantastic experience: Really fantastic and welcoming boxing gym. Brilliant atmosphere, really good coaches and some excellent classes.

Fantastic experience: Best amateur club in London

Fantastic experience: Iconic red building sticking out from the greenery of Elthorne Park. Between the two floors, everything is well equipped and settled in. The coaches struck me as down to earth and seasoned, each with their own history and appreciation for boxing. Humorous but also careful to instil the right mentality and awareness about the reality of the sport. The rest of the team seem equally invested in running a professional but familiar club. I've been a regular for just over three months and plan to keep coming for as long as I can.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train whatever your level. Also much better value for money than any gym.

Fantastic experience: Great boxing club with a fantastic women’s squad

Fantastic experience: Amazing boxing club with some of the best trainers. Great training atmosphere, and perfect environment for learning and growing as a fighter/martial artists. Joined in February, thanks to the trainers the progression is very quick. Well done team!

Fantastic experience: A super inviting club that honestly feels more like a tight knit family than a boxing gym. Felt very welcomed from the first day, and knew I'd be spending a lot of time there from the get-go. The staff are absolutely lovely and the coaches know how to keep the sessions challenging, technical, and loads of fun. Genuinely haven't left a day without great training and a big smile on my face. I've been going on and off for six months now, and upset that I didn't start coming sooner! Could not recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: Such a friendly and welcoming boxing club. So pleased I sent my son here six months ago. Seen such a positive change in him. His attitude and discipline has improved dramatically. Thank you to all the coaches for all your hard work and dedication. You go above and beyond for all the members of the club.

It has improved my day to day life significantly and has the highest level of coaching you could ask for. It is also very welcoming for beginners has an overall positive atmosphere. Easiest 5 stars of my life!

Fantastic experience: Been sending my kids to Islington Boxing gym for a few years now. Great trainers, just what the kids need. My kids always come out happy. Definitely recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Both myself and 2 girls (8&6) train at the club. It’s been an incredible way to get them engaged in fitness and the trainers are incredible. Anyone that might be apprehensive about going to a boxing gym, shouldn’t. Can’t recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: Best boxing club in the whole of London & I’ve visited most IBC has all levels of fighters and train in separate classes with ranks to climb peace out

Fantastic experience: This club is my second home. You couldn't ask for a friendlier place with more brilliant coaches and boxers. I came for the boxing, stayed for the community. IBC offers a huge variety of sessions - from recreational to competitive boxing - for all ages (infants, juniors, youths and adults), with a good range of fitness-based sessions to boot. There's something for everyone! Excellent playlists for the Saturday classes too... This place is honestly an absolute gem, check it out and see how boxing can change your life too!

Friendly place to really buckle down and learn The fine art of boxing … great coaches, great atmosphere … to train the best sport in the world couldn’t recommend it higher

Fantastic experience: Fully recommend the box fit classes if you wont a good work out to put you through you paces. Friendly atmosphere no nonsense! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: My first gym in London. Great place and Lennie and Reggie have helped a lot ..

Fantastic experience: I have been taking my young son here for quite some time and he likes it very much, I have seen quite a change in him as a result of the boxing classes. It is a great gym that possess all the modern equipment needed for a good boxing workout. It can get quite crowded especially in the kids classess but the coaches are true professionals and want the best for each kid that goes there. They are very encouraging and give feedback to parents on their kids boxing progession, the kids are put through their paces and they come out better kids as a result. If more youths took up boxing there wouldn't be half as much crime in London today. Keep up the good work lads this is the place where boxing champions are made.

Positive experience: Had a coaching course here excellent club excellent facilities but not as good as Dagenham boxing club!!!

Fantastic experience: My son attends the Junior Academy at IBC and trains every week...he loves it. I think the discipline is good for the children and is very much needed. The training is good, varied to keep them interested and professional. The only down side is the end of the month when the champ is decided and the medals go out (they all what it!) and the grumpy lad at home if we say that something has prevented his training...which is all good!

Positive experience: Run down but great people and friendly atmosphere for beginners!

Fantastic experience: popped in the gym during my short stay in the city. i felt home since second first and had the honor to meet super nice and big characters. cannot wait to be back and training again!

Fantastic experience: Come on man, BEST place in London! It's like your favourite barbershop, but with punching bags! All types of folk, all types of trainers, three rings, lots of space, lots of bags. A little slice of heaven!

Fantastic experience: My time here has been great,all of the coach's are realy kind and pashonate for all of the chilldren

Fantastic experience: The best boxing gym I’ve been to. Great trainers with a lot of experience. All the senior academy coaches have improved my boxing massively. Reggie and Millie run the club brilliantly.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere in the gym. Would recommend to anyone looking to start boxing for the first time or looking for a club to compete at.

Fantastic experience: Having seen and gone to a few clubs I can truly say this gym is a second home with warm and welcoming community inside who importantly know how to box! The coaches are most definitely some of the best in London and have given me and so many before me an outstanding knowledge of boxing glad to be part of the team !!!

Fantastic experience: Great place, very friendly staff. I started almost a year ago and everyone here is very welcoming to all skill levels. All the coaches are great, skilled and very dedicated. By far the best spot in London Special thanks to my coaches: Lucien, Connor and Slav for the great work ethics and dedication.

Fantastic experience: Before joining IBC I was a little apprehensive as I didn’t know what to expect in terms of the gym and the atmosphere. I initially spoke with Lenny who was really friendly and listened to what I was looking for, I had my first PT session with Lucien Reid in August 2020 and to be honest, it’s the best thing I’ve done, Lucien is a great coach who knows how to get the best out of you, my fitness levels have improved so much. I can’t recommend this gym enough, all the staff ( Millie, Tina, Jackie, Connor, Marvin to name a few ) are so welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Great club with a real family feel to it, I’ve been training there for 5 years, it’s great for all levels and ages. You can do your own thing, or if you want to take it to the next level, then there are some great trainers there. Highly recommend it, a proper boxing club

Fantastic experience: Amazing people friendly atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Took my boy sparring there.... excellent facilities, coaches were so welcoming and friendly.... very very impressed.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym & Facilities!! Very friendly staff!

Fantastic experience: Top Amateur Boxing Club

Fantastic experience: I'm 45 and never boxed before but do a lot of sport and gym work, and turned up because my girlfriend wouldn't shut up about it! I did the recreational/fitness class and it was intense - smashed my highest recorded heart rate too. First impressions was this gym stinks of sweat and needs some TLC - but left thinking you know what I wouldn't want it any other way - it feels totally real and authentic/historic!! It's a place to work hard and leave knackered drippping with sweat. Dan the instructor was awesome. Felt immediately welcome - totally impressed. Deserves nothing less than 5 stars. Loved it.

Positive experience: Lovely gym nice and friendly

Fantastic experience: Proper Ol skool boxing gym, all sweat and no pretension

Fantastic experience: Great club and excellent staff!

Positive experience: Opening hours leave a little bit to be desired. Classes are decent, but could perhaps benefit from a greater degree of separation based on experience level. Lacks ventilation/fans for airflow and the very low ceilings make it pretty hard for me to jump rope. Could be better. Unfortunately it seems that practitioners of more popular striking arts such as MMA, Thai Boxing, or Kickboxing aren’t welcome (unless you’re using your hands only) due to the prevalence of leg strikes. Unable to find clear policies regarding the use of kicks/knees on gym equipment on the website, but staff doesn’t take kindly to it - more clarity would be nice. If you want pure boxing or boxing related fitness then it’s probably more than adequate, but for me, I’m unable to train 70% of my arsenal in this environment so it’s not really suitable which is a shame because it’s the closest gym for me to train at.

Fantastic experience: Proper gym with proper fighters and trainers, not intimidating at all, an absolute asset to the community.

Fantastic experience: A great place to bring your child to learn discipline hard work and to have fun in a safe environment

Fantastic experience: One of the best and most friendly boxing gyms you'll find anywhere in the country

Fantastic experience: A location to rival Mighty Mick's. Not only is it a great gym, they also have some amazing pieces of boxing memorabilia on show to keep you inspired while you work the bag.

Fantastic experience: Great, friendly, and funny coaches who really know their stuff. They will push you, but they're not bullying or obnoxious about it, just encouraging. Go get your sweat on!
