    Friendly enough to not freak out the beginner, yet - like good pasta - it retains plenty of bite. I've gone here for longer than I can remember. I think it's the atmosphere, the sense of inclusiveness, the aforementioned friendliness, and the focus on fitness that keeps me coming back...

    Joined the gym over a month ago and aint looked back. Excellent gym, coaches are great, all round classes, fun, intense, technical all bundled into one for all levels, initially thought I'd go twice a week but I see myself going 4 times a week and my fitness, conditioning and boxing skills have gone to its peak, very friendly environment, would recommend to everyone of all ages and levels which is rare to say about boxing gyms!

    Best gym in London! I cannot recommend this gym enough. Francesco is by the far the best coach I’ve come across. Every class is different, it never gets boring and suitable for all levels to train together. He creates a safe and pleasant environment for everyone to join, learn, get fitter and better! He’s very patient with new joiners (and regulars), taking the time to coach them individually, making sure they feel welcome. Classes are not only focussed on boxing technique but they also incorporate a good cardio component. Great workout and you will definitely improve your skills! Can’t wait to go back to the next class!

    I have been boxing at FighterFit for almost 2 years now and everyday I m looking forward on going back and train. Francesco makes any boxers (beginners and veterans) feel welcome and safe. Brilliant coach, friendly and truly passionate. You are free to spare or not, that is your choice and you ll never get push if you don t want to which is great for beginners. You can then focus on getting fit with the numerous exercises, bags and burpees. I cannot recommend Fighter Fit high enough

    I have been boxing at FighterFit for almost 4 years now. Francesco & team are the best gym/trainers ever, there is a lot of variety in the classes and this is a gym with no egos! It is a friendly gym where you will get fit, box better, and spar. Great equipment, ring & setting. I look forward to training with you for the next 4 years and beyond.

    If you’re looking for a fun, inspiring work out, with good vibes, & a clique-free bunch of awesome ppl, then you’re in the right place. This is THE place where everyone wants you to feel great and have fun....with bucketloads of sweat along the way. When I started I was after a fun group training session, and didn’t realise how much I would grow to love the art of boxing itself. Amazing for confidence, pushing yourself out of your comfort zone & switching off from the world outside. FighterFit is something special... I can’t recommend enough.

    This place whipped me in to shape quicker then anything else could! Mainly because it’s just a fun place to be and I enjoy it enough to want to go back regularly. Whether you’re looking for a good workout or to sharpen your boxing skills, FighterFit caters for everyone with a nice friendly crowd of all skill levels. I’ve learned a lot from the trainers here so big shout out to Francesco, Erkan and Angelo for teaching me the sweet science!

    I started boxing with Francesco around 2007 at Islington boxing club. He coached me up on the fundamentals-introduced me to sparring and taught me how to push and mould my body and mind. It totally changed my out look on life. I stayed with the club as it evolved into fighter fit, always being a consistent positive influence in my life. Francesco coached me for my first fight and even cornered me during the fight. I ended up taking a break from boxing due to an injury and have recently come back to it, having two fights this year. I also went bank to fighter fit recently to visit. It is just as good as it ever was-amazing balanced class that appeals to all levels and skills, a solid core of functional fitness that gives you a clear formula to improve and grow. The atmosphere in the club is always friendly and electric. Francesco is a naturally calm patient trainer who sees potential in everyone from beginners to skilled boxers and knows how to develop strengths and build on weaknesses. Having known him nearly 16 years he is seemingly ever green, joining in with all of the training as well as teaching-relaxed and efficient. Fighter fit opened the world of boxing up to me, but even if you don’t want to fight or go into the sport, the training you receive here is vanity free and makes you feel like a superhero after every session.

    I joined FighterFit last month and I’ve got to say its one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Francesco is a brilliant coach who made me feel welcome from the start. Great atmosphere, really nice people and I feel my fitness building every time I go. Lots of variety in each class, great gym, cant recommend it enough. Absolutely love it 5 stars for Francesco and the team

  • 5/5 nitharshan n. 4 years ago on Google
    A great place to learn the basics and have a great time whilst doing it. Francesco is great at keeping the sessions interesting and intense at the same time. Would also highly recommend the introduction to boxing course if you're new to boxing as it is a well paced gateway into the fighter fit classes.

    Whatever your sport level is, if you are looking for fun boxing classes, Fighter Fit is the right place to go! It’s better than a simple workout as you’ll learn boxing techniques and improve your cardio at once! The club offers different courses that will give you the ability to quickly enjoy boxing! Curious and determined ? Will you dare pushing the doors of FIGHTER FIT! No fun, no gain.

  • 5/5 Ed F. 6 years ago on Google
    I was slightly apprehensive about my first class, I'm not a boxer or a fighter. But after my first session I was immediately addicted! Unbeatable for fitness whilst at the same time learning a new skill in boxing. Francesco is a great coach and knows his stuff, mixes it up nicely and always really enjoyable sessions, despite the pain! Love it!

  • 5/5 George J. 9 years ago on Google
    Highly recommend Fighter Fit. The boxercise classes provide a well-structured and educational way to learn/refine whatever knowledge (if any) of boxing skills you may have, in a fun but stimulating enviroment. Good music accompanied by a friendly, firm but fair teacher in Francesco will keep you coming back for more. Introduced a friend to the gym today who is already planning to delve into some of their Yoga sessions - proof that the gym & its trainers are instantly likable. Whatever level of your fitness, just turn up, 'pay on the door' and get involved.

  • 5/5 Scott L. 2 years ago on Google
    Can't speak more highly of this gym. Great for all levels perfect for anyone looking to improve fitness and boxing technique. Great team of instructors led by Francesco - who always inspires and motivates you to get the best out of yourself. Shoreditch's best kept secret.

  • 5/5 Stefano N. 2 years ago on Google
    This is simply one of the absolute best boxing gyms in London and thrives on a heartwarming community of like minded boxers and the top notch caring guidance of the coaching team. I have tried quite a few and it's amazing how FighterFit manages to cater to those who want to push their boxing and sparring skills, as well as those who want to get fitter and healthier. It is a tricky balance to find but Francesco and the team manage to create a fantastic atmosphere with no egos and a great commitment to customers. This gym is a safe place of positive vibes where one can feel at ease and forget about the struggles of everyday life, improving physically and creating the much needed space to better one 's mental health in the crazy metropolis that London is. Boxing has been there in the most difficult moments of my life and a lot of my improvements are thanks to Fighterfit. So do come down and you won't be disappointed!

  • 5/5 Robert C. 9 years ago on Google
    Absolutely brilliant gym! I've never tried anything like this before but thought I'd give it a go and haven't looked back. The gym has a really nice friendly welcoming vibe and Francesco is an excellent trainer letting you train at the level you want. Couldn't recommend it more highly!!!

  • 5/5 Yana M. 2 years ago on Google
    Having joined FighterFit over a month ago, I've been feeling progressively happy with my training and now ready to recommend the gym to fellow boxing aficionados! If you're looking to learn technical skills, build up some serious fitness levels, and improve your physical (and no doubt mental) stamina - this is THE place. Warning: benefits come with an infinite number of burpees!

  • 5/5 Luke K. 9 years ago on Google
    I'd always wanted to give boxing a go but was never sure I had the mentality for it. A mate persuaded me to go with him to FighterFit and I'm hugely glad I did. Everything is at your own pace: you're pushed to do as much as you can, without ever feeling pressured to do more than you want. I've got more out of the last 6 months training here than I have in 10 years of going to the gym: it gets you ridiculously fit, and you're constantly learning a new skill at the same time. Can't recommend it highly enough.

  • 5/5 Jim F. 9 years ago on Google
    Fighterfit, I love it. Getting fit and staying fit is no longer a chore, it’s totally addictive.

  • 5/5 Joe C. 9 years ago on Google
    Love it, been going for a few years now. Very knowledgeable and experienced group of coaches that will teach you technique and ring-craft, and get you really fit in the process. They’ll also help you take your boxing as far as you want to. Great atmosphere too, everyone’s willing to share what they know.

  • 5/5 Ben J. 4 months ago on Google
    Great location just off Hoxton Square. I attended an intro to sparring class. I'm an experienced boxer but I'm old and slow so didn't fancy getting worked over! This class was the perfect mix for someone to get their confidence back. We had a warm up thrn a couple of rounds of footwork and drills then some rounds of light sparring. You could work at your level which is great. Then we had a few rounds on the bag to really get a sweat on and a short strength circuit. I'd recommend these sessions to someone looking at making the steps into contact boxing or those like myself who have had a bit of time out of the ring. I've previously been to their fighterfit classes which were more bag and footwork based these are also good fun. I'll definitely be back

  • 5/5 H T. 2 years ago on Google
    Over the last 12 - 14 years, I have been training, boxing and developing my life with FighterFit Francesco's classes. Even now, I get inspired and get excited as I come through the FighterFit Entrance door. His great personality brings genuine people to the gym, that is truly fantastic! What if I had not met FighterFit Francesco. 5 (if not 6) star recommendations to all Londoners.

  • 5/5 Lolakious 1 year ago on Google
    Great boxing gym, purely dedicated in the art of boxing and boxing only. Francesco is a seriously skilled boxer and charismatic teacher, who loves what he does and it shows from his willingness to go above and beyond for his students, as well as a permanent smile on his face. Here you will DEFINITELY improve your boxing skills while enjoying a great workout. The atmosphere is always positive and everyone seems very hard working and dedicated. It is a pleasure training here.

  • 5/5 Adam G. 1 year ago on Google
    FighterFit is simply the best. Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned boxing veteran, you will enjoy the intense but fun classes run by Francesco and his team. Their ability to tailor the classes to suit everyone's level is unmatched, and you are guaranteed to leave each class feeling amazing. If you are considering trying boxing, or a new gym, look no further than FighterFit - it will be the best decision you have ever made.

  • 5/5 Thibaut C. 1 year ago on Google
    Best boxing gym in London. Whether you want to get fit or ready for a boxing match, Francesco and the team will take you there. They adapt all trainings to your level and know how to make you progress. On top of being great coaches, they are always open for a chat and a laugh. Can't praise fighterfit enough and would recommend it to anyone who wants to box.

  • 5/5 Patrick M. 1 year ago on Google
    Fighterfit Boxing Gym is just simply the best. Francesco is not only a great boxing trainer but is genuinely one of the sweetest kindest people I have ever met. Don’t think that means he will go easy on you when it comes to his classes though. He works everyone very hard and you come out feeling like a million bucks. He has taken me from an uncoordinated beginner to someone who has fought in an amateur bout. If you want to just get fit or learn some quality boxing skills, this is the gym for you. ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING.

  • 5/5 L W. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing experience - as a complete beginning, Francesco makes me feel super welcome, safe and supported. You will feel re-energized and ready to take on this world after the workout. 💪💪

  • 5/5 Jake B. 1 year ago on Google
    I joined FighterFit a year ago as a beginner and, with the help of the fantastic trainers and supportive community, was able to quickly improve my skills and conditioning. I even won a white collar match in a few short months. The trainers are exceptional and the facilities are great. I highly recommend FighterFit to anyone, beginner or experienced, looking to get into boxing. The trainers and community will help you reach your full potential.

  • 5/5 Mickey M. 6 months ago on Google
    This is by far the best boxing gym I’ve been to and I’ve been coming to Franc’s FighterFit gyms since 2008 and been a number of others but this is the hands down best and I keep coming back. The Coaches are great, the programmes are the right blend of taxing and fun, and the emphasis of learning how to box in a fun and friendly atmosphere is unique. I will likely keep coming back for as long as FighterFit exists. Thanks Franc and everyone

  • 5/5 rob p. 1 year ago on Google
    Francesco is fantastic coach and the gym has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I trained here for 6 months and felt like I made real progress. I would highly recommend to people of all abilities.

  • 1/5 Angela P. 4 months ago on Google
    Although the training was good and I learn a lot i found that there is lack of inclusiveness. Specially I think is not very welcome place for women. So sad that they don't have female tutors. And lastly I got an allergic reaction from the gloves in my face and I am not allergic t anything and I have done boxing in different places, I emailed them about this because I used their gloves and they were probably did not clean them after and they did not reply either

  • 5/5 Caroline Rani T. 6 years ago on Google
    I would highly recommend the beginners six week course into boxing owing much to Francesco's teaching. I was very anxious starting as with anything new, however within minutes Francesco makes you feel absolutely welcome and comfortable. This course gives you insight into boxing; an education behind boxing and learning new skills week on week which are put into practice. I will return and encourage everyone to give it a go!

  • 5/5 Alexander K. 5 years ago on Google
    I've been to a fair amount of boxing gyms around London and can honestly say that the venue and coaches here are great, friendly and very knowledgeable. Francesco is a great coach that emphasis a lot on foot work which is something I wish more boxing coaches worked on.

  • 5/5 Simon F. 5 years ago on Google
    I've been to a couple of boxing gyms and this is the best one by far. The atmosphere is great with knowledgable instructors who are friendly, motivating and always happy to give advice. The actual work outs are well thought out and challenging with a good mix of sparring, pad work, drills and cardio training. The classes never get boring and Francesco, the head trainer, is always trying new ways to keep the sessions fresh. Whether they are beginners or old hands, I would highly recommend Fighter Fit to anyone who wanted to box in the London area.

  • 5/5 James 5 years ago on Google
    This place is great, super friendly boxing gym, the classes are challenging but fun and the coaching is excellent.

  • 5/5 Sarah B. 5 years ago on Google
    Basically my favourite place in London. I like it better than my house and even my local pub. If you're looking to get fit but find all the usual ways boring then THIS IS FOR YOU. I'm sore every day and can barely get out of bed but I'm making progress - which i never did doing spin two times a week and zumba for 2 years. most importantly I'm enjoying it.

  • 5/5 Samantha N. 9 years ago on Google
    Best boxing environment! I move to London from Toronto and the staff at FighterFit made me feel like family. The class was extremely well rounded to fit my boxing and fitness needs. My experience was amazing, positive vibes from the receptionist and the perfect motivational push from Francesco (the trainer). I left the class with more energy and a positive outlook on my new journey. Thank you FightFit! I will definitely be returning in the New Year!!!!

  • 5/5 Sarah C. 9 years ago on Google
    Totally recommend FighterFit. I was looking for something new to help fitness as a hockey player, but get really, really bored in gyms and need the structure of a class and a challenge to push myself. Got recommended this by my husband who'd been before. Classes are varied and you get to learn a new sport at the same time with expert coaching for all levels from beginners to those who've done it a long time. I'd never done anything boxing related before but totally love it. It's an intense workout and I now have way more respect for how fit boxers have to be!

  • 5/5 Chris O. 9 years ago on Google
    Fighter Fit is a great training experience. If you have any apprehension about joining a boxing gym, choose this one, and your concerns will disappear. The trainers are all really welcoming, as are the other people taking part, offering advice and pushing each other to train that little bit harder. I have found Fighter Fit more enjoyable and more engaging than the 'normal' gym, and yes its hard going at the beginning, but its so satisfying. Thoroughly recommended.

  • 5/5 Kostas D. 3 years ago on Google
    Best Gym Fran is a legend!

  • 5/5 Robert W. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 tector ltd carpentry & building s. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best boxing clubs in London, Brilliant atmosphere, trainers are very well versed alongside tough routines! Fantastic all round 👌

  • 5/5 Paul M. 4 years ago on Google
    Took my first steps inside Fighterfit 2 years ago and havent looked back since. Francesco and the team teach technical skills and build confidence while keeping the sessions fun and intense enough for an amazing workout. Would recommend for all levels.

  • 4/5 Jake C. 5 years ago on Google
    Great workouts and equipment

  • 5/5 Nicholas F. 5 years ago on Google
    A place to build strength both physically and mentally. I cannot recommend Fighter Fit enough. Francesco is friendly, approachable and kind. He has a genuine interest and passion in seeing you develop your abilities, techniques and fitness in boxing. Fighter Fit has given me back my confidence in day to day life and has also given me a community to feel at home. Classes are tough and allow you to push yourself but also at the same time you are encouraged to work to your levels of fitness. The crowd is super friendly, mixed and always willing to offer advice in the ring.

  • 5/5 Marion V. 5 years ago on Google
    Look no further, Fighter Fit is the best boxing gym in town (and my second home). Francesco and Sami are excellent coaches and will teach you great technique while giving you a fun but full on workout. No matter what your level is, you will leave the class a happier person! Always a friendly crowd and a great atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Georgina T. 9 years ago on Google
    FighterFit gym is amazing !!! I have been attending clasees for a few months now and really enjoy every aspect of the classes available. The classes incorporate both fitness and boxing techniques in value for money sessions (No Joining Fee required !!!) I orginally attended boxercise classes at my local gym but wanted to progress and learn more techniques. I tried a few boxing gyms in the London area but felt that i was being treated unfairly for being female and a beginner. Fighterfit was the first boxing gym where i felt comfortable and incorproated both the fitness and boxing elements.

  • 5/5 Lil M. 6 years ago on Google
    Lovly place

  • 5/5 mohammed a. 6 years ago on Google
    Went to a small class at lunch. Taught as a class, individually, one on one and well paced for each different person

  • 5/5 William K. 7 years ago on Google
    As a seasoned gym goer I can with authority say that Fighter Fit offers the best, most engaging and fun training in London.

  • 5/5 Benny H. 7 years ago on Google
    Francesco is an amazing trainer and i highly recommend his classes. New venue looks incredible.

  • 5/5 TheLukeguy7 8 years ago on Google
    Best boxing gym i've been to by a mile, great balance of fitness and technique and coaches are helpful. Good vibe and would recommend to anyone whatever standard of boxing.

  • 5/5 Christopher A. 9 years ago on Google
    Been to many boxing gyms and hands down this is the best 1 I've ever visited, great atmosphere, great staff and Francesco makes every member at every level feel valued and appreciated. Also the times of classes and PT sessions are Perfect for even the busiest people.

  • 5/5 Anthony M. 9 years ago on Google
    Francesco and the guys at FighterFit are brilliant. It's a hard work-out but you learn a lot, the time flies and ti's great fun. Can't recommend them highly enough

  • 5/5 Irene A. 9 years ago on Google
    Great vibe, amazing training, friendly team, they keep you motivated and energized even when you are not in the gym. So addictive, I just can't quit!

  • 5/5 Declan T. 9 years ago on Google
    Bored of going through the motions at the gym? Get down here instead. Great atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Foo B. 9 years ago on Google
    Been a customer for about 2.5 years now. I have started with virtually no experience and honestly was a bit scared about the whole thing, and also didn't believe I could stay for that long before getting tired or bored. So if the above sounds just like your own concerns before joining a boxing gym, you must give it a try and prove that wrong. And if you are experienced already, you are going to be fine as well as the classes are organised in a clever way and there are different types of classes as well. I can definitely recommend this gym and people working there.

  • 5/5 Nat S. 9 years ago on Google
    I have been going to Fighter Fit for about four months and I love it. Very friendly and most importantly a brilliant way to get fit. I cancelled my membership to my old gym after the first week of going.

  • 5/5 Moses B. 9 years ago on Google
    Great place for fitness and boxing training. Excellent team and atmosphere. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 The Home Depot House P. 9 years ago on Google
    Best boxing gym in London. Super friendly trainers. Great workouts and coordination development. I highly recommend Francesco and his crew.
