5 /5 Thomas Deckker: Left Hook is a great gym to get fit and learn boxing and have a great time doing it. Ive been training here regularly for 3 years. All are welcome - beginners and competitive boxers, girls and boys, young and old. The groups are really friendly. I find working out in pairs a real benefit as youre engaged all the time. The trainers are dedicated boxers and have their own styles, so you can mix it up or choose a class that you prefer - Matt, Raph, Edwin, Marie (not around so often as she has turned pro), Georgia for a really tough workout. The facilities are basic but that means youre concentrated on boxing. Sparring can get pretty serious but Matt keeps it under control so that youre not out of your depth.
