Our boxing gym in Bournemouth

Everything needed to develop

We welcome anyone who wants to learn to box, provided they are prepared to work hard, respect fellow members and commit to training. In return, boxers train with dedicated, experienced England Boxing accredited coaches.

The gym includes a large and small ring, numerous heavy bags, slipping balls, floor-to-ceiling balls and a spar bar, alongside strength and conditioning, plyometric and specialist boxing fitness equipment.

More than a boxing club

Since opening in 2014, Arena has helped develop national champions and international boxers for Team GB and England. Just as importantly, young people from the club have gone on to university, apprenticeships and careers in HM Forces.

Boxing teaches discipline, respect and the connection between hard work and reward. Arena gives young people a safe, consistent environment where those lessons reach far beyond the ring.

A genuine competitive pathway

Eligible Arena boxers may have opportunities to compete across the UK and Europe, including recognised tournaments and England Boxing national championships.

Development is earned through consistency, coachability and respect. Coaches guide each boxer at the pace appropriate to their experience and ambition.
