Services
Left Hook was established in 1992 by professional boxer Enzo Giordano and amateur boxer Oner Avara as a centre providing boxing training for everyone; both for recreational and competitive boxers to train and compete. For men, women and youngsters wanting a new fitness regime or to learn the technical art of boxing.
If it's your first time, come along ten minutes before any of the classes all classes are suitable for beginners or advance. One of club's coaches will show you the boxing club, help you put on your bandages/hand wraps (to support your wrists under your boxing gloves), take you through some basic moves and so on.
Left Hook is an approved ENGLAND BOXING gym with accredited, CRB checked coaches who have been highly trained to box and also teach the techniques of the sport at every level. If you have past experience competing and want to compete for Left Hook then all you need to do is come to one of our competitive classes and show us what you are made of.
Enzo Giordano, co-founder of Left Hook, began his boxing career in 1989 in North London. At Light Middleweight, Enzo competed in 28 amateur fights before turning professional as a Super Middleweight in 1995, he had ten professional fights, including British S/A title before retiring. Enzo has been teaching boxing training to recreational, amateur and professional boxers since 1992 when he founded Left Hook.
Matt is a REPs qualified Fitness Instructor, a REPs qualified Personal Trainer and an ABA qualified boxing coach. He has been involved in boxing for over 25 years! Matt boxed as an amateur and a professional before he turned to coaching. He first laced up the gloves at the age of 8, although too young to compete as an amateur he had around 10 exhibition bouts(no decisions) between the age of 8 and 11.

Went to this gym for the first time a couple of years ago as a beginner - i'm not a natural boxer by any means but was welcomed by staff and members alike. I've managed to pick a few skills up along the way as well as losing a stone or two. I have always been made to feel welcome and i still go here regularly despite now living out of london. I've met some great people along the way from all different walks of life and of all nationalities. A real bonus is there's no snobbery at this gym - there's some very talented young boxers who are always happy to give us oldies some tips and pointers

Left Hook is a great gym to get fit and learn boxing and have a great time doing it. I've 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 you're 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 you're concentrated

As workouts go, you’d be hard-pressed to find a sport that will exercise your full body as thoroughly as boxing. You already know this; just look at Anthony Joshua. But while we might not all have enough talent to become one of the best boxers in the world, everyone can reap the benefits of boxing, whether you’re looking to build muscle, increase your stamina, lose fat or simply get a little bit fitter. Boxing truly is the sport that does it all.
While boxing can be both physically and mentally gruelling, there are gyms all over the capital manned with some of the best instructors in the world

Fantastic place to train. I have trained here for the past 6-7 years and have enjoyed every training session I’ve attended. I am 28 years old and have been training for many many years.
i have been to boxing clubs all around east London but Left Hook, is truly a unique place. the coaches make you feel right at home and you feel apart of the left hook family.
I can not rate this place any higher. Thank you to all coaching staff.

I've been training here regularly for over a year. It’s an excellent and genuine no-frills boxing gym. They have a top-notch amateur boxing team with plenty of trophies won. The atmosphere is relaxed and the coaches have lots of experience. The recreational boxing classes are designed to welcome everybody, from those who are mainly interested in getting fit, to those with more experience who do full contact head sparring regularly. Safety is paramount, and sparring sessions are always supervised by the Head Coach. Highly recommended.

Probably the worst boxing gym in east i have ever came across. In my honest opinion.
Inexperienced coaches with lack of knowledge in boxing and have not created any well known champions yet alone become one themselves! this is not a boxing gym with a history of legends, nor former or current champions. No known professional boxers come to this gym to train. I can confirm I have came along here it was my first and last time. The gym is super small no space in there! If your in East London and want a top quality boxing gym with top quality trainers and fighters amateur and professionals and good
