Meet Your Coach
STEPHEN LAVELLE – FOUNDER
Boxing has been my passion for more than 25 years. Throughout my career, I proudly represented Scotland on the international stage, earning a Commonwealth Games bronze medal and becoming a four-time Scottish National Champion.
Today, I bring that experience into every coaching session, helping people of all ages and abilities develop their skills, fitness, confidence, and discipline. Whether you’re stepping into a boxing gym for the first time or preparing for competition, my goal is to provide high-quality coaching in a supportive and motivating environment.
Every session is built on proven techniques, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to helping you achieve your personal goals—whether that’s getting fit, learning the fundamentals, or competing at your best.

GYM MEMBERCannot recommend this club enough. Stephan runs the place like family, not just a gym, brilliant coaching, real care for every member, and a great atmosphere whether you’re a beginner or years in. If you’re on the fence about joining, don’t be. You won’t regret it.
Rosemary Boreland
GYM MEMBERStephens a great coach that takes the time to understand what you want to get out of your boxing journey, and how to get the best out of you. I wanted more than just the trendy box fit classes, I wanted to understand the skill and technique behind boxing to improve my confidence and the way I train, as well as to get fit and have fun doing it. I love the mix of intensity and skill development mixed in with some fun. I highly recommend Steve and his gym!
