5 /5 David Geffin: I just went back to Miguel’s in Feb 2023, I lived in Denmark Hill around 2001-2003 and went to train there before moving away to the US.
I was back in London for the first time in years last month and hadn’t seen Steve who runs the place, for about 20 years.
I popped in to say hi and see how things were. It’s amazing how the gym is set up and while I still train at a boxing gym here in New York, we don’t have anything quite like Miguel’s, at least not in Manhattan.
If you are reading this and just want to get fit and healthy in a very positive environment, Steve and Miguel’s is THE reason I still train in boxing gyms to this day.
I don’t fight at all but I think a boxing work out is one of the best to stay in shape. It was Steve and his fantastic energy and personality that got me hooked back in 2001 or 2002, whenever it was I randomly wandered in to see if he had any free weights I could use. He told me if I wanted to get in shape, I’d come to the right place. I’ve still never gotten into as good a shape as I did when I trained with Steve but boxing as a way to stay healthy can’t be beat. I WISH I still loved nearby to this London institution, and if you’re lucky enough to be remotely close, don’t hesitate to go on in.
Steve, it was such a pleasure to see you again briefly and to meet you daughter, and granddaughter. It was lovely to meet everyone at the gym and get shown around, thanks for a great trip down memory lane and it was absolutely amazing to see the place so busy and well set up. The next time I’m in London I’m coming for a workout, 100%!
Keep well mate, and thanks again!
