Why did we start Sweeney's Boxing?
It's quite simple, really. Boxing gyms and martial arts clubs have had an incredibly positive impact on everyone who has walked through their doors, including our coaches. We just want to pay forward the gift that boxing has given us.
Our founder, Aron, has spent 19 years training at various combat, fitness, and strength gyms in and around London. Throughout that time, he has witnessed the transformative power of these communities. Over and over, he saw people who were initially hesitant to join a gym become stronger, more resilient, and more confident within just a few months of training. Aron also recognised that boxing gyms tend to fall into two extremes: those that are serious and intimidating with ego-driven sparring, and box fit types, that focus solely on fitness rather than technique.
That's why Aron created Sweeney's Boxing. Our boxing gym in Hackney offers the best of both worlds – a place that caters to aspiring fighters and those seeking the benefits of boxing fitness, all within a real, supportive community.
