5 boxing studios to discover.
Last updated
Barnsley has a small but solid boxing scene, with five dedicated studios spread across the town. Kingstone accounts for two of them — Townend Boxing Academy and Nairn Boxing & Fitness Centre sit within the same neighbourhood, making it the most concentrated area for the sport locally. Monk Bretton is home to J M Boxing, while The Yard Boxing Fitness draws members from across the wider area. Both Townend Boxing Academy and The Yard carry perfect five-star ratings, which reflects the strength of coaching at the independent end of the market rather than big-box gyms. Sessions range from technical boxing training to fitness-focused classes, depending on the studio. This page brings together the current listings for boxing studios in the area, with locations, ratings, and key details to help you find the right fit.
