I felt that this club needed an up to date review. They recently upgrade all of their Training Equipment, built a new Reception Area and made the Downstairs weight/cardio area twice as big as it was. so that is a plus.I have been a member for nearly a year and I think the place has improved. They have introduced MMA, Kickboxing, Thai Boxing classes as well as 30minute lunctime sessions that are high intensity to attract city workers.They also have a really good new website http://www.therealfightclub.co.ukI had some free 1-2-1 sessions when i joined the gym (they came with my membership deal) and they were great I had done some boxing before but was taken back to basics and really sharpened up my technique.I haven't done many of the classes if I am totally honest and this is due to me usually having a late lunch at work (2-3pm) and just going down and training myself using the facilities. However I did do the Tech Box class recently and was disappointed with the level of instruction. Fitness wise it was a killer and I was totally gassed, however for a Tech Box Class there was not much (ANY) technique taught. It looks like I am going to have to buy some 1-2-1 sessions if I want that individual touch to my technique.Apart from that, which doesn't affect me much due to my late lunches and not worrying about training off my own back, this is a great Gym. Really nice people/coaches and great facilities.

I stayed there no more than a month.
In their schedules there are classes everyday, even Saturday and Sunday. But the three times I went on Saturday, the teacher gave the class late, or did not come.
And this happened also during the week, teacher does not come for the class.
The facilities are poor, the two rings are uneven, from 3 bicycle just one is working and the double end bag broke never been replaced.

Stunned at the first review here. Completely inaccurate.

The Real Fight Club is the best boxing gym in London by some way, and I should know as I've trained at most of them.

This isn't Fitness First, its a boxing gym! That's the reason people join here and not corporate gyms where everyone is sitting on exercise reading magazines and watching MTV!

This place is about people genuinely training hard and working out to become fitter or improve their boxing skills.Love the place and have been a member for 2 years.

Met loads of mates and have even stepped into the ring for real on a White Collar Boxing show.

Loved it! Lost 2st along the way as well. No complaints from me. Great club, great people, great location.

Now stop moaning and put your gloves up!

Well tried to select no STAR at all but did not work.
I've been a member for over 2 years now, first years was good after went down , customer services non existent, make you pay £1 a towel cause of the credit crunch. Boxing facilities going down and out of date.
Badly run and managed, should be free maybe they get more members. Owner just eager to make money on the show.
Well, you asking why do I stay? bcs there is no boxing gym nearer but I think it is just a question of time.

I find it hard to believe that someone who says all of this is still a member of the club. I have been a member for nearly a year now and enjoy being so, if you are worried about paying a pound for a towel, bring your own? The boxing facilities are going down and out of date? All exercise equipment does that but as I was there today the standard was still pretty high compared to other boxing gyms I have gone to. Badly run and managed? The more I read your review it makes me think someone has personally said something to you and this is your way of retaliating. Also for your information there are other boxing gyms nearby - so maybe you should try one of them?

I completely agree with your comments about The Real fight club. Some teachers are excellent but the facilities are really really bad. 2 bikes from 3 do not work. The rings are uneven, facilities are like you say going down. Sometimes teachers do not come to give the classes, or they give you just half and hour instead of 45 minutes. And I tryied to speak with the managers, but what happened? They kick me out because " I complain too much" . Teresa

Rule 1) Do not talk about Real Fight Club - unless it's for a View London User Review. This club is brilliant; lots of excellent facilities and friendly staff.

First posting was extremely unfair and inaccurate. Having been a member for almost a year, I have found the staff very friendly and the boxing facilities some of the best I have come across. If you put yourself about and show genuine interest in the sport, it's not long before you are sparring and mixing with trainers, boxers and city workers.

The last show that I recently boxed on, which was staged at the Kensington Town Hall was flawless. 80 paying fans are still continuing to talk about the show as a great night out and wondering when the next one will be staged.

Most gyms charge for towels and you can always bring your own if you resent the small fee. There is no other boxing gym in London that allows you to spar and mix with genuine pro boxing world title contenders. I have extended my membership and will continue to do so in the future, which is relatively cheap if you are a regular trainer like me!!
