Left Hook Boxing Gym

Fantastic experience: quality training ,love the staff the way they teach you different drills and how they correct you everytime you make a small mistake. Also,there are good vibes only in the gym 100% recommend coming here

Fantastic experience: The gym is very friendly and welcoming to newcomers and experienced folks alike. Very strong amateur team as evidenced by the numerous trophies. It is also the home of the recent flyweight IBO World Champion (congrats Marie!) I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Positive experience: Everyone is very inclusive and positive and it helps give you more confidence and it’s always good to try something new and therefore I highly recommend trying it out if you are interested in boxing or just something to help get a bit of exercise to get into shape for those summer holidays

Positive experience: This is one of the best clubs in London, the coach Matt is an all around nice guy to be around he speaks very clearly and slowly, so a beginner can understand what his saying and will always make sure to look after you. Going to give this 4 stars because the prices are high, but this is definitely a good club to start your journey on.

Fantastic experience: Everyone is so nice and welcoming, they explain everything for the newbies, Enzo (the owner) helped me put on my wraps, explained everything, and had a beginner session with the trainer to show us the basics, before we went into it. One of the pro boxers (Marie), even let me borrow her gloves to use. Definitely recommend! Note: remember to bring cash as they don't have a card machine. Also it's right opposite the station so a great location.

Fantastic experience: One of the best real boxing training clubs in London. I went there for a couple of years until I left London. The gym training environment and the staff cannot be better and Matt is an amazing coach. If you are looking for a boxing club in London, I highly recommend Left Hook.

Fantastic experience: Ich kam mit meinem 14-jährigen Sohn von Deutschland in diesen Club für ein 1:1 Training. Es war einfach super hierher zu kommen, denn wir fühlten uns sofort willkommen. Was er hier an Technik, positiver Einstellung und Tips bekommen hat, war sehr beeindruckend. Ich mag diesen Club und den Teamgeist sehr.

Fantastic experience: Came to this gym about 3 years ago with no prior boxing experience. This was by far the most welcoming atmosphere for a gym I have ever experienced. Still training here to this day and I can't thank the coaches enough for how much I learned here and how my fitness has improved.

Fantastic experience: As workouts go, you’d be hard-pressed to find a sport that will exercise your full body as thoroughly as boxing. You already know this; just look at Anthony Joshua. But while we might not all have enough talent to become one of the best boxers in the world, everyone can reap the benefits of boxing, whether you’re looking to build muscle, increase your stamina, lose fat or simply get a little bit fitter. Boxing truly is the sport that does it all. While boxing can be both physically and mentally gruelling, there are gyms all over the capital manned with some of the best instructors in the world, on hand to guide you through the sport whatever your ability level may be. From the swish new boxing studios designed for the Instagram generation to the old haunts of some of the sport’s legends, these are the best places to practise your jabs and hooks in London.

Fantastic experience: A good one hour workout

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love it here. The staff are extremely welcoming and are amazing teachers (and patient). Love the classes and the encouragement they have provided. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here for over 5 years and it is an excellent gym. Staff are very experienced, professional and knowlegable, and are always willing to help. The club has a mix of members, from new to experienced, with beginners very welcome. Very friendly and supportive atmoshpere, cannot recommend this place enough. Good location, right next to the station and good prices. Iv had some really good times here and gotten very fit, the trainers will push you to achieve and help you reach your full potential

Fantastic experience: Really friendly staff/trainer had a great first experience at Left Hook. Will recommend to others.

Fantastic experience: This is my first review ever, but it’s well deserved. The gym has every piece of equipment you could want for boxing training and easily has the facilities to make a great fighter. The gym overall has helped me on my way to become the world heavyweight champion.

Fantastic experience: Left Hook is a great gym to get fit and learn boxing and have a great time doing it. I've been training here regularly for 3 years. All are welcome - beginners and competitive boxers, girls and boys, young and old. The groups are really friendly. I find working out in pairs a real benefit as you're engaged all the time. The trainers are dedicated boxers and have their own styles, so you can mix it up or choose a class that you prefer - Matt, Raph, Edwin, Marie (not around so often as she has turned pro), Georgia for a really tough workout. The facilities are basic but that means you're concentrated on boxing. Sparring can get pretty serious but Matt keeps it under control so that you're not out of your depth.

Fantastic experience: Went to this gym for the first time a couple of years ago as a beginner  - i'm not a natural boxer by any means but was welcomed by staff and members alike.  I've managed to pick a few skills up along the way as well as losing a stone or two. I have always been made to feel welcome and i still go here regularly despite now living out of london. I've met some great people along the way from all different walks of life and of all nationalities. A real bonus is there's no snobbery at this gym - there's some very talented young boxers who are always happy to give us oldies some tips and pointers at where we're going wrong .  The recipe is just right at the Left Hook and i have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I've been training here regularly for over a year. It’s an excellent and genuine no-frills boxing gym. They have a top-notch amateur boxing team with plenty of trophies won. The atmosphere is relaxed and the coaches have lots of experience. The recreational boxing classes are designed to welcome everybody, from those who are mainly interested in getting fit, to those with more experience who do full contact head sparring regularly. Safety is paramount, and sparring sessions are always supervised by the Head Coach. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I like the gym. Friendly instructors, plus it's close to my house.

Fantastic experience: Ignore any bad reviews, the gym is very friendly and the trainers know what they're doing!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to train. I have trained here for the past 6-7 years and have enjoyed every training session I’ve attended. I am 28 years old and have been training for many many years. i have been to boxing clubs all around east London but Left Hook, is truly a unique place. the coaches make you feel right at home and you feel apart of the left hook family. I can not rate this place any higher. Thank you to all coaching staff.

Fantastic experience: Left hook boxing offers a unique and stress-free environment to hone this discipline at prices nobody could argue with. Whether you are looking to keep fit or compete, Enzo & team welcome boxers of all ages, weights and experiences to #TeamLeftHook. Check out the Instagram - Lefthookboxing to see what is all about

Negative experience: Worst gym ever Matthew Burke is the worst coach ever he thinks he knows everything. There is no real champions made from this gym. AVOID

Fantastic experience: The staff are awesome , Matt and Edwin are fantastic, they motivate and really push you to do your best The place is clean and the quality is there The best boxing gym by far makes the place feel like family -Enzo is the pillar of the gym defo recommend

Positive experience: Alright gym. Trainers are really nice though

Negative experience: Worst gym ever!! Very small gym very tiny!! no space at all! the coaches are very rude and also think that they know everything. I will not be coming back here ever again

Fantastic experience: Proper boxing gym with great classes. I've also had some 1-2-1 training with Raph which were exceptional. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a good workout and to learn or improve their boxing.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train! Excellent coaches and friendly atmosphere!!!

Fantastic experience: Great gym and friendly coaches. Love the owner, Enzo. So happy I discovered it. Don't worry if you don't have any experience, beginners are very welcome.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this boxing gym on-off for a few years now and it's hands down one of the best I have trained in. Friendly and knowledgeable trainers, a good mix of guys and girls and one hell of a session that will make you sweat buckets! I have to comment on Saad Badaoui's review as I think he missed the mark here... This is NOT a luxury gym, doesn't have fancy machines etc and is "basic", but guess what? It is a BOXING gym where you go to get in amazing shape through boxing/conditioning/circuits/pad work/sparring! I personally think the monthly price is a f**king bargain IF you actually show up and do the classes. So yeah, do not just do one class, actually invest in your fitness and after a month you see what I mean.

Negative experience: expensive for what it has to offer. Also expensive for the area. The trial class is a rip off

Fantastic experience: I love going to this place when i spen few days in london my favourite city. The staff is nice and the stuff is really clean, a lot of space for training

Fantastic experience: This is a wonderful place to get an amazing boxing workout in.  Enzo, Samee, Edwin, Mat, Leslie, Steve and Giorgia are committed to creating a professional yet relaxed atmosphere, and they care about your performance and development. If you want to be part of a group of friendly and dedicated people, where the owner and trainers address you warmly by your name when you arrive for class, Left Hook Boxing Gym is the way to go!

Fantastic experience: I Love this Gym, the trainers and the owner Enzo! I came from CR and worked out for a month there. We trained hard and learned many new techniques and boxing skills. The best part though, was we spared almost everyday! So fun! We spared "round robin" with all the members and the guys went a little easy because of the weight difference and were total gentlemen to the smaller boxers.I highly recommend this gym for a good boxing workout in London. Good price and good training! Miss all you guys in the jungle!!!

Fantastic experience: I've been going for about 6 months now on and off. Your first impressions might be that the gym is small, with no machines, however this doesn't stop you from getting a workout. The trainers have some great experience and have fought professionaly, and I found everyone there friendly and helpful. One of the few boxing gyms that has regular afternoon classes as well as evening during the week with focus on cadio workouts at the weekend.
