A noble sportGreat for fitness of mind and bodyGreat way for young people to learn discipline too.Scotlands oldest club

Oldest club in Scotland.

Scotland's oldest boxing club & absolutely one of the best gyms to be part of. Be it to box or for the keep fit, the coaches will get you going. This is about community, support and the love of hard work & perseverence. Leith vic has given rise to several well recognised local & world champions as well as hosting many local wee legends. Can't fault a thing about this place, tis utter dynamite. Mon the boxers.

Short answer: MUST VISIT. More information: I am a reasonably experienced boxer and came to this club to train for 2 weeks as I was working near Edinburgh and I had lived in the perspective of a boxer for this club. The coaches are extremely welcoming, love what they do and push you to the limit, when you think of stopping and resting you look around and see the rest of the team working just as hard, if not harder then you. Everyone is striving to win which motivates you to train harder and after each training session you can sit down and say to yourself I've done everything I possibly could today" while falling asleep within the next 5 minutes from exhaustion. This club represents boxing at its best."
