The KO Boxing company classes situated upstairs in the Spartans Gym warehouse with five friendly, experienced coaches. We’re very lucky to boast probably the best set up of any boxing club in the Southampton area. We have three boxing rings for starters all of different sizes, which means more sparring for the boxers and less waiting around. The club also boasts over 20 punch bags and speed balls, each one of a unique style and feel, presenting different challenges for the boxers and keeping every workout fresh and fun.

We welcome all abilities to our classes and actively encourage a good mix of male and female participants. It’s lovely to see more women taking up the sport once dominated by men, which is now no longer the case.

Boxing has many benefits including: it’s great for your fitness and health; great for weight loss; it boosts whole body strength; improves balance and co-ordination; and lowers blood pressure. It improves cardiovascular fitness, balance, endurance, strength and hand-eye coordination.
Psychologically, it fosters confidence, concentration, resilience, self-awareness and stress relief. There’s plenty of evidence that boxing training has many mental health benefits, for symptoms of depression, anxiety, ptsd and negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Boxing gives a cathartic release of anger, aggresion, stress, and disopation of anxious energy.
