Success Stories

I wanted to learn how to box and find a fun way to keep fit. I was living in Hackney at the time and saw that FighterFit had some awesome reviews so decided to check it out!

When I first joined, it was actually a bit intimidating but that quickly goes away. The coaches are extremely friendly and personable which massively helps to keep you motivated and wanting to come back.

As a regular, it’s almost hard to imagine not being able to go to FighterFit at least a few times a week. This would be to continue learning on the boxing front as well as keeping my fitness up. It’s MASSIVELY boosted my confidence and has given me an additional sense of community.

My favourite thing about FighterFit? The people!!!

Before joining FighterFit I’d go to the gym regularly, lift weights and do HIIT and Spin classes. I started getting bored of this type of exercise, lacked motivation and wasn’t enjoying exercising! Boxing had always fascinated me – [so] I did a trial session in Feb 2022 and.. I was hooked!

I found the FighterFit classes to be the perfect mix of elating, motivating and incredibly physically challenging! One year on, I am still encouraged and pushed to continuously improve. At FighterFit you get a personalised training experience, even if there are 15-20 people in the class – it’s incredible!

My fitness and boxing technique have exponentially improved. But the most important thing that I’ve achieved since joining FighterFit is heightened psychological focus and wellbeing, and improved discipline. Boxing at FighterFit has given me the discipline and confidence to perform well in both my job and Masters, and to never give up!

My favourite thing about FighterFit is how the coaches foster and encourage an inclusive and positive environment. This means you get to train with a very diverse group of people. Importantly, as a woman, I feel welcome and safe. FighterFit is also very body positive – I have never heard any focus on calories or weight loss in his classes, which is extremely refreshing and welcome.

I was absolutely terrified doing the first class but I was made to feel so welcomed and reassured. It wasn’t what I expected at all which was really great.”

[Since joining FighterFit] I’m living a life I’m more and more proud of everyday and FighterFit has helped me develop into the person I’ve always wanted to be. More confident in myself and my interactions with people in my day to day life, I’m a better person because of FighterFit.

I never thought in my life I would have the courage to get into the ring and fight but Francesco’s teaching and guidance helped me achieve that huge goal.

I’ve developed such strong and great friendships with people I wouldn’t normally meet in my own circles which I love and you always feel a sense of home whenever your at fighter fit. Fighter fit is my home and will be for a long time into the future.

I needed an activity that was fun yet challenging – unlike the GYM or Spin classes – and I had always casually been interested in boxing as a sport so it seemed like a good fit.

Before staring, I had base level anxiety about making a fool of myself, [but] when I joined, it was great. I learned pretty quickly most people are far too concerned with looking at themselves to notice your own poor technique or fitness

I’ve learned lots since being here. I’m easily in the best shape I’ve been in since I was 22 (so 12 years). My boxing ability increases month on month which is now the most important thing to me. I’ve learned a new skill in my 30s which isn’t always easy!

Being excited about boxing 3-4 times a week keeps me honest in other areas of life e.g. I’m less likely to go to the pub when I have a class booked in that night or the next morning. I eat better as I need the better nutrition to keep up with the physical demands. Otherwise I have gained a far greater appreciation and nuanced understanding of the sport of boxing which makes it far more entertaining to watch.

Aside from all the above it is a great atmosphere!

I wanted to learn to box to develop my confidence, get fit and build strength.

I chose FighterFit gym for its excellent reviews and this gym immediately exceeded my expectations from the very first session and continues to.

I still remember my first session which left me feeling so amazing afterwards and so excited to go back. Everyone made me feel welcome, and kindly helped me out as a complete beginner.

FighterFit has made me a healthier happier person helping me to find levels of confidence I never knew I could. Others have commented on how boxing “has brought me out of my shell and made me more confident in expressing myself better”. Training here has also reinforced discipline, strength and a positive mindset within me. Besides these incredible benefits, I have come a long way with my fitness stamina, boxing defence / attack techniques and strength by iteratively challenging myself every session.

Besides this, boxing at FighterFit has impacted my life by providing a consistent source of motivation for fitness – I particularly enjoy practicing shadow boxing out of the gym to refine my techniques.

I love many aspects of FighterFit… Leaving every session a happier and stronger version of yourself is one of the best feelings!

FighterFit is fantastic, unique and simply the best boxing gym out there!

I decided to join FighterFit to become stronger physically and mentally after a sad life event.

I immediately felt welcome and in a safe and positive environment. I met a lot of incredible people from very various backgrounds and age and loved the energy during the classes which is contagious and loved how I felt after the first class: tired yet energized with positive thoughts.

Since being here I have got a lot fitter, I have learned how to fight but also how to be more patient. What I learn at boxing is helping me in other areas of my life, including work, stress management, anticipation and strategy and again… patience.

I believe it helps me to become a healthier and better person. I have also made a lot of very good friends at the gym.

What is my favourite thing about FighterFit? Sorry, I cannot pick only ONE thing. That’s too hard. Not doing it!
