SB Beginners
A welcoming introduction to boxing fundamentals in a structured, coach-led environment.
This class is designed for those with little to no boxing experience. We focus on building the foundations properly — stance, footwork, basic punches, defence and simple combinations — all broken down step by step.
You'll develop coordination, fitness and confidence while learning real boxing technique at a manageable pace.
Expect:
- Technical breakdowns
- Pad & bag work
- Drills to build timing and rhythm
- Conditioning tailored to beginners
No experience needed. No pressure. Just progression.
All you need to do is show up.
SB TECH
Ladies and gentlemen, prepare for the main event! It's time to get your gloves on and get techy with the best boxing coaches in the game.
SB Tech classes bring the perfect blend of old-school boxing drills, new cutting-edge techniques, and effective functional exercises. Whether you're a boxing novice or a seasoned pro, our classes ensure you'll master the fundamentals, learn the hidden gems, and have a blast while forging new friendships amongst the Sweeney's Boxing community.
Get ready for a technique-focused session, with a mix of bag work and off-bag drills. No matter the skill level, get ready to glove up at our boxing gym in Hackney.
SB STRENGTH
A structured strength training session focused on building power, muscle and resilience.
This class centres around compound lifts and progressive overload — not random circuits. Expect barbell work, dumbbell accessory movements and focused core training, all coached with proper technique and intent.
Programming is designed not only to build strength, but to improve joint stability, reinforce movement patterns and reduce injury risk through smart, controlled training.
Perfect for anyone looking to:
- Build full-body strength
- Improve lifting technique
- Develop power & durability
- Reduce injury risk and move better
- Complement boxing training
All levels welcome.
SB FIT
Energize your day with our high-intensity SB Fitness classes, designed to push you to achieve new limits both physically and mentally. Expect a diverse mix of training methods, from classic circuit routines and high-intensity interval workouts, to varied conditioning exercises that encompass boxing, bag work, skipping and CrossFit.
We use an array of weights including kettlebells, dumbbells, barbells and medicine balls, along with heart pounding calisthenics, bodyweight exercises and precision-targeted abdominal work that will guarantee you get a full body workout in each session.
In each class, you'll face alternating rounds that challenge your strength, endurance and focus. The sessions are always fun, but you won't ever get off lightly and so we expect you to love and hate these sessions in equal measure! Whether you're drawn to boxing or want to enhance your overall fitness, we've got you covered. We guarantee that SB FIT will leave you fully charged and ready for more.

SB Sparring
A controlled sparring session for members ready to apply their skills in a live setting.
SB Sparring is focused on developing timing, distance management, composure and ring awareness. Rounds are structured and supervised closely by coaches to ensure safety, learning and progression.
This is not a brawl. It's technical, purposeful work.
Expect:
- Structured, timed rounds
- Controlled intensity
- Tactical feedback between rounds
- Focus on defence, movement and decision-making
Open to members who have built a solid technical foundation and have coach approval.

The PTs at our boxing gym in Hackney
Aron Sweeney – Founder and boxing specialist
“Throughout my life and career, I have dedicated my time and energy into boxing and mixed martial arts. For 19 years I have both trained and worked at a variety of combat and fitness/strength gyms, training with and sparring against professional boxers, fighters and PTs. What I've seen time and time again is the way the greatest of these individuals incorporate mental training just as much as physical.
I have personally trained thousands of people over the years and can truly say I love what I do. In addition to my own reflective learning and growth, I have been able to collect the skills, wisdom and understanding needed to facilitate personal and dynamic teaching techniques, all the while finding ways to keep the sessions fun, intense and engaging.
Boxing has had an extremely positive and important impact on my life and my goal is to spread that to as many others as possible.”
If you're looking for a friendly and experienced personal trainer/ boxing coach who will help you find and push past your limits, look no further than Aron. Book a session with him here.
