Gymbox entered the UK fitness industry when it launched in 2003. Gymbox clubs were the first to feature boxing rings, live DJ sets, interiors styled by nightclub designers and a distinct approach to fitness classes. From one club in Holborn, the chain has rapidly expanded to ten London locations.

Gymbox offers over 110 different classes, resident nightly DJs, free weights spaces, personal trainers, and many parties & holidays.

History

The first Gymbox location was opened in a Holborn car park in 2004 which cost £2 million to build.[3] As time passed, Gymbox branched out more and more, with a Gymbox in nearly every part of London. Each location offers multiple classes, Olympic sized boxing rings (with the exception of Cannon Street), combat cages, free weights sections, live DJs, and personal trainers.
