Before joining IBC I was a little apprehensive as I didn’t know what to expect in terms of the gym and the atmosphere. I initially spoke with Lenny who was really friendly and listened to what I was looking for, I had my first PT session with Lucien Reid in August 2020 and to be honest, it’s the best thing I’ve done, Lucien is a great coach who knows how to get the best out of you, my fitness levels have improved so much. I can’t recommend this gym enough, all the staff ( Millie, Tina, Jackie, Connor, Marvin to name a few ) are so welcoming.

Really great proper gym. Great people and sessions. Good for kids and old people like me too! Don't be intimidated if you've ever wanted to try boxing - very welcoming and gauged well for your experience.

Having seen and gone to a few clubs I can truly say this gym is a second home with warm and welcoming community inside who importantly know how to box! The coaches are most definitely some of the best in London and have given me and so many before me an outstanding knowledge of boxing glad to be part of the team !!!

C. F.

I've done the recreational class a couple times on a Saturday afternoon. Killer workout and a great way to work on basic boxing techniques. Highly recommended.

L. B.

I had my first session yesterday and loved it. Coaches were great and you only work to your own level. Cannot recommend highly enough.

D. C.

I have to say that this is one of the best clubs I have been to. I've been to around 8 different boxing clubs, but this one is fantastic, the trainers are great and the gym has a good setup with equipment and split level.

J. V.

A location to rival Mighty Mick's. Not only is it a great gym, they also have some amazing pieces of boxing memorabilia on show to keep you inspired while you work the bag.

L. R.

This club has become my second home, a great boxing club with great coaches & equipment! Proud to be apart of the Islington boxing family

R. G.

Only the best boxing gym in London. Old school vibes with super friendly staff and a safe environment to grow my skills

Travelled up with our club for some sparring. Lovely friendly atmosphere and the coaches are a class act.

Iconic. What more can you say? Top 3 boxing club in the UK

I'm 45 and never boxed before but do a lot of sport and gym work, and turned up because my girlfriend wouldn't shut up about it! I did the recreational/fitness class and it was intense - smashed my highest recorded heart rate too. First impressions was this gym stinks of sweat and needs some TLC - but left thinking you know what I wouldn't want it any other way - it feels totally real and authentic/historic!! It's a place to work hard and leave knackered drippping with sweat. Dan the instructor was awesome. Felt immediately welcome - totally impressed. Deserves nothing less than 5 stars. Loved it.

Good memories Good club I learned alot here

S. R.

Really great friendly club with some excellent classes. I was apprehensive visiting the first time, but found a warm welcome was extended to everybody. Recreational boxing classes are challenging and give a superb workout. The coaches do push you, but everyone can work to their own level and sit out any section if it all gets too much! The gym is also good for solo boxing workouts on the bags and weights during the daytime, but check the timetable. Classes have to be booked in advance and you do not have to be a member to take part. Prices are reasonable. Very highly recommended.

A.

Opening hours leave a little bit to be desired. Classes are decent, but could perhaps benefit from a greater degree of separation based on experience level. Lacks ventilation/fans for airflow and the very low ceilings make it pretty hard for me to jump rope. Could be better. Unfortunately it seems that practitioners of more popular striking arts such as MMA, Thai Boxing, or Kickboxing aren’t welcome (unless you’re using your hands only) due to the prevalence of leg strikes. Unable to find clear policies regarding the use of kicks/knees on gym equipment on the website, but staff doesn’t take kindly to it - more clarity would be nice. If you want pure boxing or boxing related fitness then it’s probably more than adequate, but for me, I’m unable to train 70% of my arsenal in this environment so it’s not really suitable which is a shame because it’s the closest gym for me to train at.

I have been a member at Islington BC for just over 6 years. I read a previous review and wanted to give my answer to some of the guys (A) beefs. I first started in the recreational class because I was not sure if I wanted to compete or not at the time. I found that the classes were great and I soon realised I wanted to take this sport further. I moved into the academy classes which is a big progression from recreational and then when invited into the competitive team training sessions and now compete for the club. So I am living proof that the club does offer progression/separation in ability level. The ceilings are about 8ft high and I am 6'2" and can easily do double jumps when skipping. Yes, in a perfect world the ceiling might be a foot or so higher but it really is not a problem and I don't know of anyone who cannot do want they want. As for ventilation, there is no air conditioning but being that this is a traditional boxing gym I am not surprised. It can get hot but again not a major issue for the hundreds who train at the club every week. The issue of kicking the punchbags, well, the name gives you a clue. They are for punching not kicking. Not surprised the staff asked you to stop kicking the bags, have some common sense please. I have seen MMA/kick Boxing guys do their thing in the gym with no problem so they are obviously welcome. I have nothing but positivity to give the club. They really care and the management, staff and all the coaches are very approachable and will sort out any issues you have and encourage you. Islington BC is a very well known and respected club and for me for of the very best you would find anywhere. JJ

Amazing boxing club, want to especially recommend the midday weekday boxing classes. Coach is amazing, is a very friendly and welcoming environment which was very important for me as I often struggle with confidence when starting something new in a class environment. Found it easy from the first class and could not have asked for any more. Other classes are also great as well as the rest of the staff. Sadly am no longer living in north London but will miss going to the Club and wish it well in the future.

A. b.

Best boxing club for all levels of boxing

Really good family run boxing club!

S. A.

Great, friendly, and funny coaches who really know their stuff. They will push you, but they're not bullying or obnoxious about it, just encouraging. Go get your sweat on!

N. E.

Excellent boxing club for both amateur boxers and recreational boxers like me . I like the fact that its a professional training gym but also very friendly and helpful staff and trainers. Many girls have joined the club as they see the benefits of the boxing training. It caters to all age groups and there are many classes during the week and weekend that will work with anyone's schedule. It is also fantastic value for money and if you go every week you will start to see results in your fitness and weight loss very quickly.

K. D.

Separate male and female changing facilities, toilets and showers. Carpark out the front for club users. Can pay as you go or sign up. Open all day long.

T. G.

Top club. Whether you're complete beginner or competing boxer, there are different classes to suit all levels. Really good atmosphere. Loads of memorabilia covering the walls. 1.5 hr classes at £7, youre getting the best value for money anywhere I've seen. Expect to work hard but at the end of the day you get out what you put into it.
