genesiscouch Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 I'm interested in joining a boxing club (never done it before) and am looking for one near the city centre (possibly the university?). Does anyone have a recommendation? I'm not looking to competitively box, just want to pick up some new skills and get a good work out doing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildrneil Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 The university runs a pretty good boxing class once an evening and if your a member of the gym and no-one is using it you can sneak in and use their activity room with all the punchbags in it.

Wavey Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Is there still a boxing club at St Vincents on Solly Street? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lickszz Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Yes, St Vincents is still around and appears to be thriving once again. It has a website which can be found on google but the site isn't up to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genesiscouch Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 Do you have a link for them evildrneil? It doesn't seem to come up in google. As for St. Vincents are either of you involved there? I'd like a place that's light-hearted and not too serious..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its run by usport ( http://www.shef.ac.uk/usport/ ) though I forget which evening - theres as a timeable available on the usport site though The boxing night is listed as boxercise but is actually a boxing night!

Freddylee Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Id recommend St vincents anyday Mick and Chris are lovely fellas and none of their boxers have egos theyll all come over, say "oreet" and shake your hand. Just watch out for that Big dodgy fella called Ross tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
