Run (in a very friendly, hands-on style) by former Super Middleweight contender Enzo Giordano in a properly shabby, sweat smelling gym in Islington, this boxing club is genuinely friendly and open to all levels.
There are three 90 minute session per weekday and one on weekends. Strap on some hand bandages, go for a run, have a skip, then partner up with someone of a similar ability and do some floor exercises, mess about with a medicine ball, and finally have a brief , supervised sparring session in the ring if you're ready.
It hurts. You will be smelly, covered in grime, and quite possibly a bit dazed. But you will get better.

I have to say, I was a bit nervous about visiting Boxing London last Saturday for a number of reasons. Primarily, I don't, as a general rule, like getting hit. I especially don't like getting hit by guys (although I can't say it's ever happened but I didn't really want to find out). But whether it was meant to put nervous girls like myself at ease or just because Boxing London liked the press the minute I walked in I found the walls covered in articles about how various women had used boxing to get in the best shape of their lives.
Where those women were I'm not sure - certainly not using the female bathroom/changing room that was clearly an afterthought when compared to the full guy's locker room facilities (understandable given their clientèle but all the same slightly disappointing when you really need a shower). But despite the fact that Y chromosomes were dominating this was one of the most welcoming and engaging workout facilities I've ever visited. I learned a great deal and hope to be back to Boxing London soon.
