    I’m a 54 year young man. I’ve been using duke box around 3-4 months now and my personal fitness levels have increased considerably in a short time. Done with personal trainers now! The energy levels of the gym are high with a friendly welcoming atmosphere. The sessions are highly grueling and you will walk out with a real sense of achievement. By the end of session 1 or 2 you will be honored by being given the acalade of a new nickname by coach (all in good jest may I add) he makes the sessions fun and inclusive for all whatever backgrounds and whatever fitness levels you’re at. Between coach and his assistant you’ll be privy to 1on1 pad work sparing sessions and tips from an ex pro, these guys passions genuinely shine through with the patience of saints when it comes to passing on their trade to mere novices. PS If you’re anyway serious about wanting to feel better about your health and fitness, step in and step up. Coach will help you do the rest.

    Can’t recommend Duke enough! I started with zero boxing experience and after five months I’ve never felt fitter or had more fun working out. There are people at all different levels and experience in the class and Duke is great at meeting you at your level and building you up. Would definitely recommend to everyone.

    Duke is a really supportive coach: he meets you where you’re at and builds you up from there. It’s a real privilege to train with a 3-times world champion and also a delight that every session is a positive and uplifting one, it makes you want to go back. Duke will coach an unfit mum of a 1yo as if she’s just as important as the next world champion and I really appreciate that! The gym is new, clean, well laid out and well-ventilated. The class size is small (max 8) so I feel comfortable training there while the pandemic is ongoing. Highly recommend!

    Without doubt the best workout I've ever done. Highly recommended Duke to anyone who's interested in getting fit. Great variety to the sessions, and keeps you on your toes between circuits and bag/pad work. Not often you get a chance to be trained by a World Champion!

    Can’t speak highly enough of Duke. He cares about each of his members, and always manages to tailor his sessions to accommodate. To get the level of intensive 1-2-1 coaching with a world champion is brilliant. I’ve recommended Duke to all my friends and would encourage anyone to come along and see the gym.

    Amazing!!! Where else can you train with a three weight world champion. Duke has a fantastic setup here. He tailors the workout to your individual fitness levels and keeps you motivated to keep going. Duke Box genuinely makes working out enjoyable, can't see myself ever going elsewhere or back to a normal gym!

    I have been training with Duke for over a year now, and I can confidently say it is the best thing I have ever signed up to. Duke is an understanding, passionate coach and his dedication is fully apparent; he is a gentleman too. The exercises are very effective and I feel I am healthier and more confident than I was before. This is an amazing gym and I would recommend it to anyone looking to start boxing or just to be fitter in general. I look forward to continuing my journey at the Duke Box.

    Excellent gym. Duke made me feel very comfortable when I first started. I’ve been going now 8 months and still just as happy.

  • 5/5 Bala V. 5 months ago on Google
    Great boxing gym. Duke does a great job at properly teaching you the fundamentals.

    I joined the Duke Box Gym 1 year ago 5’8 and 95kg. Now I’m 70kg and my weight is by choice. This gym is owned by THEE Duke Mckenzie. Search on google. This gym is not for people training to become boxers. You’re learning how to stay fit through boxing. No pressure and no intense training, personalised to each persons individual fitness journey. The lesson is circuits (press-ups , burpees , squats) followed by pad work with the former Three Division Boxing World Champion. Who in the UK can assist you better in losing weight healthily through boxing than Duke Mckenzie? The prices are outstanding and the online booking service completely streamlines the process. Sessions run from morning - evening to add to the overall service. This is an opportunity not to be missed.

    I’ve been going to Dukes gym for the last year and a half and can genuinely say it’s the perfect place to keep fit. Duke has so much time to help train you. And there’s always a good crowd down there. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Wesley S. 6 months ago on Google
    I can honestly say I've never stuck to anything for more than 6 months when it comes to gym and training. I have now been at duke box for a year and a half and have enjoyed every minute of it. It is the toughest, most rewarding thing I have ever done in my life and im 34! Training with Duke has been a pleasure and a blessing at the same time. Duke is friendly, professional (and funny on his day). He treats us all the same and genuinely cares about us and our lives in and outside of the gym. We all have nicknames ( mine being Wesley snipes) which adds a really nice personal touch and humour to the training sessions My mental health and confidence has shot through the roof due to Duke, Chris ( his assistant trainer), the training and all the beautiful souls I've met in Duke's gym, its really been life- changing! If your having second thoughts or doubts about joining the Duke gym, pop in and have a see for yourself. You will see the gym is always over flowing with positivity and banter. It will be the best, most life-changing decision you would of made to date!

    The most fun I have ever had at a gym! Duke is welcoming, fun and creative with his training. We always have a good laugh in the boxing ring. Would give 10 stars if I could! Thank you Coach

  • 5/5 بلال G. 2 years ago on Google
    Duke is a Legend! Personable, driven and fun! The sessions take you through a body weight circuit before getting into the ring for technique work. He is willing and happy to share his expertise with you and you don’t just get fit, you learn a skill! Well worth the price!

  • 5/5 Nikkita S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great experience. Small friendly family run gym, expert tuition by the former 3 division world champion Duke Mckenzie! Priceless experience, would definitely recommended
