The Gloucester Boxing Club serves the community of Gloucester by offering first class instruction in the sport of Boxing. While all sports provide participants a physical workout, boxing offers a unique set of benefits beyond the obvious self-defense and exercise. Learning to box challenges the body, the intellect, and the will of everyone who steps through the gym doors, whether or not they choose to compete. As one learns the sport, their levels of confidence and self-worth inevitably skyrocket. The amazing part is that while this occurs, a new level of humility and respect for hard work develops as well.


Now, over a few years in to operations, the Club boasts registered 501(c)3 non-profit status and a growing membership. Gloucester youths make up much of the membership, with kids’ classes several afternoons a week. Centrally located on Burnham Street, we are accessible to most of the young people in town. Members vary from competitive boxers to casual members of our women-only classes, offered twice a week.

We have a team of qualified volunteers and active members from every walk of life including professional boxers and martial artists, tradesmen, local small business people, attorneys, college students, and members of two Cape Ann police departments.
