De Hood Boxing Centre & Community Hub is a boxing club and community development organisation located in the Manor & Castle Ward of Sheffield but serving the whole of the City.
De Hood Boxing Centre & Community Hub is a registered charity No: 1186218 and a company limited by guarantee No: CEO19498 with a board of trustee directors.
20 dedicated volunteers currently give 400 hours a week or 19,000 hours a year to the project with an in-kind value of over £100,000 a year. (based on UK Living Wage)
De Hood currently has over 500 members and is open to people of all ages and abilities with a full commitment to inclusivity, accessibility and equality.
We also have a spacious fitness suite with weights, running machines, cross-trainers, bikes and multi-gyms. Our coaching team is led by our founder and head coach Reagan Denton, along with 20 volunteers who are all DBS checked and safeguarding trained. You are welcome to contact us to arrange a visit to discuss your health and exercise needs or if you wish to book a session click on the contact button below.
In this space we can offer you boxercise which includes, running, bench presses, circuit training, bag work and other activity tailored to your needs.
You are welcome to visit us to see the sessions in operation which are all fully supervised by our trained and qualified team of dedicated volunteers.
Our founder and head coach Reagan Denton personally supervises the training of 20 young amateur boxers who are registered or ‘carded’ with England Boxing to compete at amateur level in local, regional and national competitions for honours at different weights. We aim to produce a number of future Champions at De Hood and we already have an impressive track record of achievement to our name. If you or your child is interested in training for competition level amateur boxing, you are welcome to get in touch for more details.
At De Hood Boxing Centre & Community Hub, we pride ourselves on our community activity, where alongside our health & fitness facilities we offer benefits advice, healthy eating advice and an active recovery group for people who are recovering from drugs & alcohol.
We use participation in health, fitness and exercise as tools to engage children and young people in positive activity to prevent the risk of them becoming involved in crime, drugs, antisocial behaviour or becoming ‘groomed’ by gangs operating the street-based drugs trade and using young people as ‘couriers’ frequently enforced by violence involving knives and guns.
We have been extremely successful in winning the support of local agencies and organisations in this mission including, The South Yorkshire Police & Crime Commissioner, The South Yorkshire Community Foundation, Sheffield City Council, The National Lottery Community Foundation, The Lady Neil Trust, The Westfield Health Foundation, The Sheffield City Trust, along with our local South Yorkshire Police neighbourhood Policing team and our local Sheffield City Councillors for the Manor Castle Ward, Cllr Ann Murphy, Cllr Sioned Mair-Richards, Cllr Terry Fox (Leader of Sheffield City Council) who are backing our efforts to change lives and communities for the better.
De Hood’s current home is in the old school buildings and over the past four years it has grown into a valuable community asset, utilising almost every nook and cranny of the building offering a wide range of activities and services for adults and young people, providing opportunities for everyone, regardless of their race, colour, creed, ability, age, gender, sexuality or background.

De Hood Boxing Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Amazing place. The people are so down to earth, and the coaches are fantastic!
Negative experience: keep getting stomped by barbies mate, too many e-boys around here with db's. Bare sweats, dont come round here unless u got a macro
Negative experience: Completely disgusted to hear about someone being kicked out for being disabled. The poor kid had a sensory overload and the owner proceeded to mock them and tell them to get out. I would avoid at all costs if your kid or yourself has a sensory difficulties. It’s a shame really because the receptionist is the nicest woman ever and the owner behaves like that. Completely put off sending my kids or anyone else for this matter. Definitely would avoid this and find a place that can handle children correctly.

Fantastic experience: Everyone at De Hood is very friendly and welcoming and opens its doors to all walks of life. These guys are the salt of the earth, and cannot do enough to help you achieve your goal. My nephew is paralysed from the waist down and uses Howards Verti Run to keep fit and strengthen his muscles. He has done absolutely amazing since joining the centre, which is £3 per session or £7 for the week, he gets unlimited usage on all activities as he chose the weekly membership. I cant thank Howard enough for what he is doing for him, he's started having sensations in his legs, for the first time in 4 years, his posture has improved and his confidence is through the roof, Reagan & Pop are so positive & encouraging with him, as is the entire gym - its like a little family unit. Well done guys and keep up the good work, you all work tirelessly to help inprove your community and give the kids something to work towards. Im so proud to be a part of it, it makes my heart swell.

Fantastic experience: Best boxing in Sheffield
Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to go to get fit. Great atmosphere
Fantastic experience: Good parking to the front of the building. This building was once a school, which they have rebuilt to behind. Inside there are box fit classes, mixed adults and children. Dance Tuesdays and Thursdays, and a small gym. Staff are friendly and I hope de hood continues to stay open. It plays a major part to the community, including a deduction in street crime.
Fantastic experience: From little acorns, oak trees grow. A fabulous experience with every visit!
