Everything you need to know about training at H&G.
These are the questions we hear most often from people considering their first class or their first competition. If your question is not here, message us on WhatsApp or use the contact form.
Getting Started
What should I bring to my first session?
+
Wear comfortable sportswear and trainers. Bring a water bottle. We provide all boxing equipment including gloves, wraps, and pads. Just turn up ready to train.
Do I need boxing experience?
+
No experience needed. We have complete beginners in every session. Our coaches will teach you proper technique from the ground up. Everyone starts somewhere.
Do I need to be fit to start?
+
No. You build fitness by training - you do not need it beforehand. Beginners start at their own pace and the work scales to whatever level you walk in at. Most people are surprised how quickly their conditioning improves once they are training regularly.
Are your coaches qualified?
+
Yes. Our coaches are ABA/Alliance-credentialed and ABA-affiliated. All coaches are DBS checked and safeguarding certified. We take coaching qualifications and child safety seriously.
Do you offer kickboxing?
+
No - we're a boxing club, not kickboxing. But if you're looking for a striking martial art that builds fitness, confidence and self-defence skills, boxing ticks all the same boxes. Many of our members came in searching for kickboxing and stayed because they loved the training. Try a free session and see for yourself.
Classes & Training
What age groups do you cater for?
+
We train boxers from age 7 upwards. Junior Recreational is for ages 7-16, Junior Competitive is for ages 10-16, and adult sessions are for 17+. There is no upper age limit - we have members in their 50s training regularly.
Do I have to spar or compete?
+
No. Our recreational classes focus on technique, fitness, and pad work - no sparring required. If you want to compete, we have dedicated Elite sessions with sparring and competition preparation. It's your choice.
Do you have women's or ladies-only sessions?
+
Yes. We run dedicated women's boxing sessions with female-friendly coaching, alongside our mixed classes. Women are welcome in every class we offer, whether you are training for fitness, technique, or a competitive pathway.
Do you offer personal training or 1-to-1 coaching?
+
Yes. One-to-one boxing coaching is available with our licensed coaches, tailored to your goals - technique, fitness, or competition preparation. You can train 1:1, or share a session 2:1 or 3:1 with friends. Message us or check the personal training page to book.
Membership & Pricing
How much does it cost?
+
All sessions are pay-as-you-go with no contracts or sign-up fees. Prices start from £5 per session depending on the class. Serving Armed Forces and active NHS staff get 50% off adult recreational class prices with proof of occupation, paying £5 instead of £10. See our full pricing breakdown on the prices page and the NHS and Armed Forces discount page.
Competition
How do I start competing?
+
To compete, you need to be registered with the Amateur Boxing Alliance and have a valid medical card. Talk to Coach Anton about getting carded. You'll need to train consistently in our Elite sessions before your first bout - we'll let you know when you're ready.
Facilities & Location
Where are you located?
+
Honour & Glory Boxing Club, 122 Broad Walk, London SE3 8ND. We're in Kidbrooke, Greenwich - about 10 minutes walk from Kidbrooke Station. Buses 178, 286, and 422 stop on Shooters Hill Road nearby. Free parking available.
Is there parking at the gym?
+
Yes - there is free parking available, and the gym is easy to reach by public transport in Kidbrooke. If you are driving in for your first session, message us and we will point you to the easiest place to park.
Just been to a taster session for women’s only boxing! Anton and Charles were both super friendly and helpful. Even though I’m a beginner, they adapt exercises for all abilities. Absolutely loved it and will be back!
