Why People Choose Honour and Glory Instead
A boxing class is not boxing training
PureGym boxing sessions use gloves and bags to deliver a cardio workout. You will sweat, burn calories, and have fun. But nobody is correcting your stance, working your jab, or building the technique that makes boxing effective. At Honour and Glory, every session is taught by a BBBofC licensed boxing coach.
Pay for what you use
PureGym Woolwich: £26.99/month whether you attend once or twenty times. If you are paying for the gym primarily to access the boxing class, you are subsidising equipment and facilities you do not use. Honour and Glory: £5-£10/session. You pay when you train, nothing when you do not.
No dead ends
PureGym boxing has no progression pathway. After 12 months in the class, you are doing the same thing as week one. Honour and Glory builds you through a structured curriculum - technique, fitness, pad work, bag work, and sparring if you want it. Competitive members go on to represent the club at ABA events.
