Who We Are
Shaping Your Future Starts Here!
I run a boxing-led fitness studio focused on helping everyday people get fit, build confidence, and learn real boxing skills — even if they’ve never boxed before.
Most of the people I coach don’t come from a boxing background. They’re adults who want a fun, effective way to get fitter, and parents who want their children involved in a sport that teaches discipline, confidence, and respect. My role is to make boxing accessible, safe, and enjoyable while delivering real structure and progression.
Boxing for fitness sits at the heart of what I do. Sessions are built around proper technique, movement, and conditioning — not just hitting pads for the sake of it. You’ll learn how to box correctly while improving fitness, coordination, and self-belief.
For younger clients, the focus is on fundamentals, confidence, and positive habits. Training is age-appropriate, structured, and designed to help kids develop physically and mentally in a supportive environment.

WHY CHOOSE ME
I’ve been in boxing for 9 years and I’m an active elite amateur boxer with over 40 competitive bouts. Throughout my career, I’ve won multiple titles, including 4 national titles and represented England, giving me first-hand experience of what correct boxing training looks like at the highest level.
Alongside my competitive background, I’m fully qualified with a Level 3 Diploma in Sports and Exercise Science, Level 3 Personal Training, and Level 3 Exercise Referral. This means every session is built with safety, structure, and progression in mind — whether you’re brand new to boxing, training for fitness, or enrolling your child into their first sport.
What sets me apart is my ability to translate elite-level boxing into clear, supportive coaching that anyone can understand. You don’t need experience, fitness, or confidence to start — that’s what the coaching is for.
You’re not just getting a workout — you’re being coached by someone who lives the sport, understands the science behind training, and knows how to bring out the best in beginners.

I can’t recommend Joe Hodgkinson enough as a personal trainer. From day one, Joe has been incredibly supportive, approachable, and understanding. He takes the time to truly assess your individual needs, strengths, and limitations, creating a training plan that feels both achievable and motivating.
What sets Joe apart is his ability to gradually build your confidence while pushing you to improve at a pace that’s right for you. He’s not just about physical fitness—he genuinely cares about your overall well-being and tailors his approach to help you succeed in all aspects of health.
Joe is also such a great person to be around. His positive energy, encouragement, and unwavering belief in your potential make every session enjoyable, even when it’s challenging. Thanks to Joe, I’ve not only seen progress physically but also in my mindset and confidence.
If you’re looking for a trainer who’s knowledgeable, personable, and committed to your success, Joe is the one to go to.

My 11-year old son started boxing 1-1s with Joe a few months ago to help him progress within his boxing club. He has since been moved from the beginners into the juniors and I have been told by his coach that he is doing well.
Joe is very friendly and professional.
My son can be shy and never really shows he’s personality that we see at home, however, he has really opened up with Joe and it’s great to see him having fun whilst sharpening his skills.
My son looks forward to going every week and respects and looks up to Joe.
Joe has a massive depth of boxing knowledge and understands what my son needs to work on and has improved his boxing fundamentals.

Let me start by saying I was very nervous at first entering a completely new ( boxing and fitness ) environment.
However that apprehension soon went due to Joe and his “ patience “ in explaining techniques and keeping it simple.
He has taken time to get the basics right first and then built on that week on week.
In turn my confidence has grown and self doubts gone.
I really enjoy the sessions and it seems a long wait until the next one !
I’m now way further forward than when I started and would thoroughly recommend Joe as a PT to anyone looking to get into boxing or looking to get fitter .So pleased I did .
