Smelters Boxing Gym Bristol run a number of weekly boxing training classes suitable for all ages with qualified coaches teaching you how to box. Give it a go!
The club is fantastic, they put alot of effort and time into making it a proper boxing club where the boxers are given space and time to grow to be competitive boxers and be part of a team, can't fault them
A very good boxing gym and addition to the community. Great coaches and great boxers (including national champions) helping each other out. Everyone is welcome. If you want to be a champion, take advice from one. Join the club, train hard, and you will succeed.
I take my 12yr old son here. Firstly to learn self respect and gain some confidence in himself, the right way. The gym environment is perfect for kids. There's all ages and levels mixing. My son has good peers and role models around him in this environment. The gym is full of past, current, and future champions who are happy to welcome new comers and the head coach, Garry is a qualified ABA boxing coach with tons of knowledge that produces these champs year after year. I've boxed for over 15 years and I can say from experience that the set up at NSC is second to none in the south west.
The pride of Bristol. An outstanding and fully equipped boxing gym which produces excellent boxers who go on to win National titles. Full credit to their dedicated coaches and team. A well run and highly competitive boxing club. Bravo Gary Cave and Team!
Top club and Top facilities. From children to adults, male and female all there for one purpose and that is to box. Head coach Garry Cave is a fantastic coach with many years of boxing experience. It's a well equipped gym with plenty of training nights and plenty of coaches. All they ask of you is to turn up and put in 100% All equipment provided all you need to bring is a gum shield, hand wraps and a water bottle.
I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. I reached out to enquire about my son training here, explaining that he has a false eye and wouldn’t be competing. The response we received was absolutely disgraceful – we were told he wouldn’t be welcome because he wouldn’t be able to fight for the club. This is outright discrimination at its worst. My son has already endured a traumatic experience, and instead of offering support and inclusivity, they shut the door in his face. No child should ever be made to feel unwelcome in a place that claims to teach discipline, respect, and sportsmanship. To make matters worse, after we spoke out about this, the boxing coach saw our post and is now threatening us with legal action through the club’s solicitor, trying to silence us instead of taking responsibility for their appalling treatment of a child. If they think bullying and intimidation will stop the truth from getting out, they’re wrong. From what I remember training here in the past, the coach only ever cared about his best fighter – everyone else was treated as an afterthought. This just proves nothing has changed. If you’re looking for a supportive and inclusive gym, I strongly advise you to look elsewhere
