    Fantastic boxing gym. All the staff is delightful, and the teachers are super helpful and support everyone to progress regardless of your level. Also, I couldn't recommend enough the femme boxing class, it's brilliant.

    One of the best Gyms I have been to, great atmosphere, the best coaches and brilliant training partners, a real gem in the centre of London. One of the highlights of 2020 was training at Rathbone, can't wait to make it back :-)

    A great boxing gym to train and workout (best boxing gym in london?). Staff is friendly and the amenities were better than most high end studio gyms. They have boxing gloves to borrow and a very nice selection of gear for purchase. Song selection was also nice in the work out. I will definitely be going more often here!

    I would give this place 10 stars if I could! I have been going pretty much every day for the past two weeks and absolutely love it. The coaches are fantastic and you can tell they really care about your progress! A proper family environment going on at this place, ive been made to feel so welcome!!

    Quality gym with great coaches. The trainers are not just experts but all brilliant people. Everyone is welcoming and the sessions are always varied, with new information to pick up every time. The sparring is well managed and big egos aren’t tolerated. Have mainly attended sessions with Lex who is a top bloke and awesome coach!

    Boxing gyms can be forbidding places for beginners. Rathbone is warm and welcoming and not at all intimidating. Greg and the other coaches make sure everyone feels at ease, and ensure all members of the group get the maximum out of each training routine. The facilities are brilliant too. It's a treat to go in, put in a hard session and then wander out to Charlotte Street for a well-earned coffee.

    Great place! I was in London for 2 weeks for work and had to find a place to train. This was the third gym I tried and fell in love with the place due to its authentic boxing. The classes are structured and the coaches are experienced and extremely helpful. Shout out to Troy who took the extra effort to help me prep for my upcoming sparring fight!

    I’m fairly new to boxing. Came from NY on business. Everyone was so welcoming. No judgment. Great trainers (thank you to Greg, Rhys and Les) who were all friendly, patient and unbelievably talented and experienced. Manya is an amazing owner and Jay Jay was awesome. Can’t wait to come back in November.

    All the staff are friendly and welcoming team. The coaches care about you and they are passionate about boxing. If you are looking for a place where enjoying the class, definitely improving boxing skills, while training cardio at the same time so I highly recommend.

    Best boxing gym in central London with great coaches, especially Nathan, who is highly dedicated, attentive and enthusiastic. Ever since I started attending his Fighting Fit classes on Saturday, my fitness and strength have improved immensely.

    Had a great boxing session with Nathan at Rathbone Boxing Club. He showed us some amazing techniques and combos and really made you feel at home. Great Club, elegant details, nice Team and for-real boxing. Looking forward to my next session 🥊

    From the moment I walked in I was welcomed into the family. The coaches really care about you as an individual. They see your strengths/weaknesses and encourage you to be the better you. No matter your experience they got you. You will see your skills, body and confidence change for the better! Awesome load of girls who box here too :)

    Overdue, but if you have a passion for boxing, this is your place! I visited London for a week, used this boxing gym twice and absolutely loved it. The space itself just has a magnetic feeling to it, like an old school gym but cleaner! The staff is top notch; JJ the lovely, warm and helpful woman upfront keeps things in check. The coaches I attended classes were led by Rhys, Nathan and Zac. All three were exceptional and I appreciate the feeling as if it was a 1:1 with the pointers they gave throughout the class to each of us. The whole vibe is just encouraging and motivating to want to push harder. I wish I lived in London, this place would be home. Can't wait to go back next time I'm in London!

    Rathbone is a really friendly and welcoming environment to train in. The coaches care about their students and are passionate about sharing their love of boxing and their skills and knowledge. This isn’t a “Boxercise” gym dressed up as a boxing gym. The classes I’ve taken here focus on teaching you technique, and on showing that technique within a wider context of boxing. But if you’re a beginner then there’s no need to be intimidated— they cater for all levels. Although you will be expected to work hard. This is a boxing gym... Oh and there are loads of women training here too!

    Lovely place but overpriced. I loved the dynamic atmosphere and great facilities. However, it was too expensive for the continuous commitment. This place was the most expensive gym I have ever trained in my 12 years boxing experience. I was quite surprised that they even charged for punch bag self training session as I have never seen anywhere like this. They should at least do discount for students and NHS for community.

  • 5/5 Myles B. 7 months ago on Google
    Had a 1.5hr 3-1 PT session with zac on Saturday and he was great! He taught all the fundamentals and even introduced pad and bag work to really get our moneys worth. Would recommend highly for any skill level.

  • 5/5 Alisa S. 8 months ago on Google
    Nathan and Zac are absolutely the best! All of the training sessions are great no matter what your level and goals are. Always interesting, informative, and I feel that I am getting better!

    I recently had the pleasure of training at Rathbone Boxing Club, and I must say, the experience was absolutely phenomenal. As someone who has been training at Camden Boxing Club for around 15 months, I was delighted to discover that Rathbone, falling under the same business umbrella, offered a range of unique benefits that I didn't want to miss out on. First and foremost, the facilities at Rathbone are top-notch. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by a clean, well-maintained space that exuded a thriving boxing atmosphere. What impressed me the most were the double end bags, which were in excellent working order. These bags provided me with a perfect platform to practice my reflexes, timing, and accuracy – a true game-changer in my training routine. The two rings are also really good offering a good space to spar, shadow box and practice your ringcraft! Additionally, Rathbone Boxing Club boasts an impressive variety of different heavy bags. No matter what type of training or technique I wanted to focus on, there was always a bag that catered to my specific needs. This versatility allowed me to diversify my workouts and continually challenge myself. But it doesn't stop there – the shower facilities at Rathbone are equally exceptional. The shower head and water pressure were out of this world. Trust me when I say that after an intense boxing session, there's nothing more gratifying than stepping into a refreshing, powerful shower. Rathbone definitely understands the needs of their members and has nailed this aspect of their facilities. Overall, my experience at Rathbone Boxing Club was truly outstanding. The facilities are remarkable, with the double end bags and various heavy bags offering immense training possibilities. And let's not forget about the incredible shower experience – it's the little things that make a significant difference. Whether you're new to boxing or a seasoned pro, I highly recommend giving Rathbone Boxing Club a try. With its top-quality facilities and exceptional training environment, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better place to hone your skills. I know I'll be frequenting this club from now on, alongside Camden Boxing Club, and I couldn't be happier with the benefits offered by both under the same business umbrella. Keep up the fantastic work, Rathbone Boxing Club!

  • 5/5 Conor J O. 2 years ago on Google
    An almost unfathomable blend of authentic boxing coaching with top of the range equipment, luxurious facilities and great people. From my experience coaches Nick, Rhys and Troy are experienced and professional, with genuine ring experience and technical knowledge to share in a friendly environment for a beginner. The gym itself is probably as close as you'll get to being in a pro boxing gym without being a fighter, coupled with a welcoming environment and a rewarding workout whatever your experience is. It's also a good laugh!

  • 5/5 Casey S. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been coming to Camden Boxing Club for 4 weeks now and honestly I just love this time, the classes are incredible and by far the best way to forget about daily ups and downs is having a good box / workout. But the real reason its the best place in town is by far the staff, huge shout out to Sunni (shes the best fun and trainer), Jay who is so kind and accommodating and last but not at all least Nick E who is just stand out nice guy who also works you like a beast. I cannot recommend this palce enough.

  • 5/5 Kelly H. 1 year ago on Google
    An incredible gym ! Amazing space ! And top notch trainers! Rhys and Greg are wonderful ! I’ve learnt more here in a few months than in 10 years ! They challenge you ! Classes are tough and you learn skill at the same time ! Couldn’t recommend this place more ! Love it 🥊

  • 5/5 Joseph N. 1 year ago on Google
    In Londontown for a few days from NYC, and used the facilities here — Outstanding! Plenty of good equipment, room, and personal instruction if needed. Very positive and welcoming environment. Cannot wait for my next visit to London. Highest recommendation.

  • 5/5 Schultz 1 year ago on Google
    Trained with Greg about 4 years ago at another gym. Finally got to train with him again as now living in London. He is by far the best boxing coach I've ever been coached by and am super impressed with what he and his team are doing at rathbone boxing club. Amazing facilities, fun enviroment and just a vibe to get a your boxing fix. Highly recommend training here and if you manage to find a timeslot with Greg book with him ASAP!!!!!

  • 5/5 Marta L. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a great place and people! Got myself some 1-2-1 time with Lex for my first time coming to the gym because I miss boxing so much and I don't have gyms near me. It was everything I hoped and more, Lex is a great coach not just because he's technically really good but he also listens and adapts on the spot. I can't wait to be back! If you are a woman that loves Boxing, but you've had some weird experiences in gyms where people assumed you were a beginner without asking, or treated you differently in some uncomfortable way, PLEASE try this place. It made me really happy to walk in and instantly getting a warm reception for Lex and the rest of the staff. Felt like I belonged right away and will go back every time I'm travelling into London.

  • 5/5 Kara F. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this gym. No games or gimmicks & in a non intimidating environment. Classes are fun. Coaches are knowledgeable. Staff is friendly. Facility is impressive all around.

  • 5/5 Sami E. 1 year ago on Google
    It's probably the best boxing club in central London! I train with Daley! His sessions are so much fun, and he pays attention to everyone in the class.

  • 5/5 Callum H. 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing facilities, great coaches and of course convenient location. Jon T is a legendary coach who goes above and beyond the 45 min sessions. We all had tons of questions after the training and he took the time to go through each one thoroughly. Only thing to improve is the price for a monthly unlimited membership is steep. It would be cool to have a “class only” membership that is cheaper than having unlimited of everything perhaps.

  • 5/5 Tosin C. 7 months ago on Google
    I’ve been a regular in Rathbone boxing club for over a year and I can’t say enough good things about the gym. Zac, Louix and Max are amazing coaches and if you want to learn how to spar, this is definitely the place to do it. They have the perfect balance of safe technical sparring for beginners and ramping up the intensity for more skilled people as you get better, and it really brings out the best in you. I even got to compete in front of 450 people in a sold out white collar event they ran 6 months after joining.

  • 5/5 Hessa S. 8 months ago on Google
    I LOVE THIS PLACE! Proper proper boxing club! The ring, the facilities and the training! My coach Nathan is very dedicated and passionate, our sessions are fun and dynamic.I’ve been training with them for a year and the results are spot on.

  • 1/5 Anna S. 7 months ago on Google
    I went to the newly opened club in Rathbone Square. The club is open, airy and clean. I was excited to start boxing, however there was no warm up before the intro session or cool down. I thought for some reason in an intro class this would have been a fundamental point to teach in an intro to boxing class as the norm is to do this with any form of exercise. I have spent the past week with a hamstring and calf pain which has been pretty annoying. I went to have a deep tissue massage to help with the recovery after being in pain for a week. I do have one credit left as part of the special offer, not sure if I will use it as really do not want to get another injury.

  • 5/5 Ruth H. 3 years ago on Google
    My daughter has just taken part in the Gox box kids class and it was fantastic, the coaches were both so engaging and energetic and it was packed full of fun whilst still teaching technique, I was joining in off camera too so would definitely be interested in trying the adult classes at the gym!

  • 5/5 Stan S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great boxing workout with sound fundamentals. You get to to work out and learn the proper techniques. Only suggestion would be to limit number of people in the changing rooms as its super crowded and prevents appropriate social distancing

  • 5/5 Zeeshaan S. 3 years ago on Google
    Central London needed a proper boxing gym, the full boxing experience but tailored to the market. Ideal for beginners looking to learn the basics of boxing and get fit and also experienced fighters looking to quality sparring.

  • 5/5 E L W. 3 years ago on Google
    My 1st Fighting Fit on Clapham Common on Saturday with Troy was awesome! Troy really put us through our paces but tailored it for those less fit (me). It was really good fun and I'll definitely be coming back!

  • 5/5 J S. 3 years ago on Google
    Definitely one of the best boxing gyms in London hands down. Great coaches giving you advice, everyone is so Friendly & helpful, great music & the equipment is amazing. Definitely recommend coming down to train out here

  • 5/5 Geraldine T. 3 years ago on Google
    The awsome energy and knowledge that you get from the professionnals boxing coaches is over expectations. They are eager to help and will take time with you in your boxing journey. They understand what you are striving for and they will get you there and further, while having fun. The classes are intense for every level athlete and you will love their diversity! Fav class is Sparring 🥊 Key word learned is Discipline 👌🏻

  • 5/5 Reece R. 3 years ago on Google
    By far one of the most exciting gyms to train in! The gym offers a vast knowledge from some of the most experienced coaches in the country let alone london. This is not just your average gym this is a real community that pushes people towards their goals and helps you learn the art of boxing whilst making some new friends ! You will not regret spending your time here

  • 5/5 Muhammad D. 3 years ago on Google
    Brilliant boxing club. Caters to people of all stages. The look and feel is sublime - they've got a great balance between retro, old-school gym and modern facilities. Staff are very friendly and their coaching is great. Highly recommend Rathbone Boxing Club.

  • 5/5 Estee Kostant B. 3 years ago on Google
    I’m so happy I ventured into Rathbone while on a walk in the neighborhood. As a new Londoner, I was keen to find a high-quality, clean, and friendly place to workout and box. The club is beautiful, but not pretentious. The trainers are legit. I’ve improved technically and athletically. There’s a variety of classes for whatever “fitness mood” I’m in. I miss the club so much during this lockdown, and can’t wait to come back when business reopen this summer (fingers crossed). Stay safe.

  • 5/5 Matt J. 3 years ago on Google
    The coaching quality across their virtual workout range is second to none! you always know you're getting the best! Thanks as always guys and girls :)

  • 5/5 Becks S. 3 years ago on Google
    Yesterday I took part in the free training session via Instagram. The intensity was spot on. With everyone being at different stages in their boxing journey it was right on point. Some rounds I slowed it down to work on my technique and during other rounds I really let go. It was great fun and a great workout. The Head Coach, Greg, explained everything so clearly and didn't rush any of it. Alternatives were also given to exercises if needed. I can't wait for the next one!

  • 5/5 Keri M. 2 years ago on Google
    This place has become my favourite place for a workout. The coaches who teach the classes are so encouraging and take the time to help you improve. The vibe is unlike any other place that I have tried for boxing and everyone is so welcoming and make you feel like your part or the group immediately. I am a beginner and purely wanted a fun workout and to create some discipline and that’s exactly what I get and more. I cannot recommend whoever is reading this to try it out because you’ll want to come back all the time. The coaches ,the owner, the facilities, the vibe everything about this place is magnetic and on point…no intimidation just everyone pushing you to be your best. Highly recommend to anyone.

  • 5/5 Fern G. 2 years ago on Google
    I had the pleasure of joining Rathbone Boxing Club in the month of April. The coaching staff is excellent and energetic. There is a great vibe in the gym by way of everybody putting in the effort to do their best...this reflects itself particularly well in the helpful attitude and culture here. The closest underground station, I would say, is Tottenham Court Road; but even Oxford Circus is easily within reach. The boxing equipment is in great condition, by the way. Greg is one of the senior coaches here, so if you have more questions regarding the club, he is one person who can provide answers. I hope this helps!

  • 5/5 Chris M. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic club - very friendly, welcoming to all levels, great coaches, quality facilities and lots incredible community initiatives as well. If you're looking for boxing club in central London, Rathbone Boxing Club should be top of your list!

  • 5/5 Tariq H. 2 years ago on Google
    Really enjoyable boxing session, going over footwork, punching technique and trunk defence finished off by a core conditioning session. Highly recommend

  • 5/5 Abdulla Al K. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing gym and staff. It’s a hardcore boxing gym and I’m very happy that I coincidently crossed by it!
