Boxing clubs on the central line London

Hi

I just moved from Reading where i have boxed for ~2.5 years and now im working in London, i travel alot on the central line to and from work so i wondered if anyone knew of a club near a central station which i could walk to after i finish work.

Re: Boxing clubs on the central line London

Epping in Essex , my closest gym is ongar but its hard to get to as it is only reachable by car, I went once and it was nice, shame about the distance.

So im trying to find a gym i can go to now after work (hammersmith london), the places i get to for about 6pm are all in this piece of the map

hehe thanks i will do :)

Well still gonna have a look for other gyms but this one is just so close.

West ham told me they arent taking any one who hasn't had a bout on at the moment as they have a very full gym.

In fairness I dont know the London scene like I did, but I know the good coaches. Its ten years since I was coaching down there, although I keep in touch with freinds who tell me the latest gossip and whats what.

Actually its ok because i take the train 8 minutes to WestBourne Park which is on my way home anyway after work at Hammersmith and then take a 6 min walk to the high street , i arrive a bit late but as long as im there before 6 its ok.

Lucky I have been training in Reading because the guy says 21 is too old to start fresh , but still my 2 years at Reading feels a bit wasted because it was about 20% of the intensity of this place.
