5 of the best boxing gyms

4. Brixton, South London – Miguel’s Boxing Gym

The gym: It’s been the training ground for many greats since 1999, but its authenticity makes it a popular choice among the community. Both competitors and amateurs are welcome, except sparring in the ring is only open to the latter (if you want to hone your hand skills and punch power).

The workout: You’ll be learning the fundamental movements in boxing and pushing your body to its limit in an intense circuit, so it’s perfect if you’re up for a challenge.

The highlight: Learning the art of boxing in a proper boxing gym – even if it is only the basics!
