About Dynamo ABC
Dynamo ABC is a London-affiliated amateur boxing club based at 377 Limpsfield Road, Hamsey Green, Warlingham, CR2 9BY - on the southern edge of the Croydon area, bordering Surrey. They're clear about what they are: "a very active fighting club and NOT a boxercise class." That directness says a lot about their ethos.
The club runs an amateur boxing programme with a focus on proper technique and competitive development. They also offer personal training alongside their group sessions, covering fitness, mental agility, body composition, and nutrition coaching. This makes Dynamo something of a hybrid between a traditional amateur boxing club and a more structured coaching environment.
The location in Hamsey Green is rural-edge - a quiet setting that gives the club a different feel from inner-city boxing gyms. For those who live nearby, it's an appealing alternative to the larger, busier gyms closer to central London.

The Verdict
