Boxing

Welcome to the University of Strathclyde Boxing Club!

We welcome students, staff and recent graduates of the University from all ability levels and backgrounds. If you are interested in improving your fitness, getting into competitions or just having some fun and meeting new people, then Strath Boxing is for you.

What if I haven't boxed before? We can show you the basic techniques you need to start boxing. For those at an intermediate level we aim to build on strong fundamentals and the basics of sparring.

We train regularly in the University’s £31m Strathclyde Sport facility and sessions are delivered by a qualified coach from a local Boxing club. The club committee are heavily involved in helping to lead training, so we are very much student orientated in our approach to sessions. Oh, and kit is provided however if you have your own gloves bring them along!

Any questions? Ask away, contact details to reach student committee members can be found on the email link on this page or find us on our social media channels to message us directly.

Reasons to join us!

• We are open to all genders, abilities and fitness levels
• We welcome both people who wish to train or just keep fit
• Training is led by a qualified coach who provides group tuition to all members

Membership – what do I need?

1. Sports Union Membership – this is a flat £30 fee for the year (or £20 for one semester) which goes directly back to the club to fund various club activities and operations, including:

• Personal accident and public liability insurance
• Coaching fees, competition entry and transport costs, club equipment and external facility hire

2. Sports Club Bolt-on Fee – we also charge a £30 joining fee for the year (or £15 semester only) which is charged to subsidise additional sport specific costs such as buying and maintaining equipment. This fee is charged on top of the Sports Union membership and again, goes directly back to the club and participants taking part in our activities.

3. Facility Access – as we train in the University’s £31m Strathclyde Sport facility, a pay-as-you-go facility fee of £3 is charged to access each session. However, if you are a member of Strathclyde Sport gym you do not need to pay this fee and can access for free. To join Strathclyde Sport please visit the University website here.
