Run by IBA Star 1 and NZBCA Level 2 certified coach Imran Khan, this Te Atatū Peninsula gym centres its work around genuine amateur boxing rather than just casual fitness routines. Khan, who coaches with the New Zealand Juniors Coaching Squad and brings nearly two decades in the ring, leads a dedicated Boxers class tailored strictly for competitive fighters honing technique, sparring, and pad work. Alongside competition training, the timetable features non-contact Box Fit sessions that pair boxing footwork with cardio conditioning, general boxing classes, and mindful yoga sessions focused on balance and recovery.
Sessions cater to everyone from first-timers to prospective Olympians, though members must be at least 10 years old to train. Boxers need their own hand wraps, 16 oz gloves, headgear, and mouthguards, while general fitness attendees require wraps and gloves. Memberships provide open gym access alongside class entry, and prospective fighters can trial their first competitive session free of charge. Tucked into Te Atatu Road, it is our pick on the Peninsula for anyone seeking authentic fight training from an internationally accredited cornerman.
