About Wellington Boxing Gym

Wellington Boxing Gym was born off a dream back in 2013 to bring life and energy back into the boxing scene here in our capital Wellington. Determined to make waves, the team knew there was a lot of work involved to make this happen.

Qualifications, being mentored, and many conversations later, Wellington Boxing Gym opened its first gym in Kilbirnie, July 18th 2016 and the second gym in Lower Hutt followed July 18th 2020.

Our diverse team here at Wellington Boxing Gym have been carefully selected around who aligns with the gyms values, goals and who share similar boxing knowledge. They are dedicated to creating an inviting space where there are no egos. Anyone at any level can come and get an informative and challenging workout. Majority of our trainers have boxing experience (in the ring) as we feel this is vital to ‘walking the talk’. The ones who haven’t yet, definitely have plans to do so soon!

Our primary aim is to use boxing as our vehicle to get fit and healthy (both physically and mentally), making this accessible and comfortable for people from all walks of life. Additionally, we also train successful fighters at amateur and professional levels. Corporate boxing is something close to our hearts as it allows people to get a taste of the benefits of boxing while of course getting fit. Each year we run fight camps for various charity boxing events as well as promoting our own show: CLASH of the CODES. ‘Clash’ as it’s affectionally known, sees people from all walks of life sign up for an intense 13 week training camp - either in the Lower Hutt Team (5010) or the Kilbirnie Team (6022), with the opportunity to get in the ring on fight night to showcase their newly acquired skills. Not everyone signs up with the intention to fight, some just want to get fit, learn new skills and make new friends - all of which, Clash delivers. Check out the video below of Clash of the Codes Two for a little sample of what happens on fight night.
