Thanks so much mentioning us in your recent blog post ! Your kind words really do mean so much 😁 here’s what they had to say:
This centre of excellence is right opposite Clapham Junction. It is split over two floors, with a ring on each and boasts a huge first floor studio, with high ceilings. There is a large reception area where folks gather before or after class and you can see through a glass partition into the substantial space, equipped with a full-size ring, plenty of top-quality bags, with generous floor space given over to warm-ups, warm-downs, shadow boxing and cardio exercises in between rounds of punching. There is a lovely atmosphere here, it is very welcoming to all levels, ages and backgrounds and there is no need for over-stylised features or modern finishes to convince you they’re anything other than “real boxing for real people”. The wooden parquet flooring throughout the first floor evokes a sense of heritage and authenticity. Whether it’s training for fun and fitness, for a fight or wanting to be part of something social, 12-Rounds offers a variety of classes and courses that cater to it all. The owner Kat is almost always around and she loves bringing the joy of boxing to the uninitiated, empowering women and ensuring everyone is welcome. The quality of teaching and the upful energy of the teachers is very noticeable. There’s no mistake that this place takes great pride in delivering something authentic and excellent.
