5 of the best boxing gyms

3. Clapton, East London – BLOK

The gym: It took eight months to transform BLOK from a run-down Victorian tram depot to the contemporary boutique fitness space that it is today. The team have set out to create a relaxed and welcoming environment with a bone broth cafe and exhibition space (currently hosting pieces by acclaimed artist, Arran Gregory).

The workout: The Box and Bell class is best suited to those who are accustomed to body conditioning classes but are keen to factor in boxing, gradually. You’ll be switched from bag to kettlebell, a setup that will enhance coordination, core strength and stability and endurance.

The highlight: Get the bone broth. That is all.
