i think its pete foley that i read about in advertiser two weeks ago, has his own place, does boxing and kickboxing if im correct.

he was in the paper for people enroling in the white collar boxing. Im sure you could train and not have to be part of that competition

Heys guys,just wondering can anyone recommend some boxing clubs in galway city?
Thinking I might give it a go

Dave Joyce

To the best of my knowledge all of the boxing clubs in the city work out of the Westside club ie Galway Boxing Club, Olympic Boxing Club and NUIG Boxing Club. Its the yellow building next to the Westside Community Centre.

OLympic BOxing and Galway Boxing Club both run out of the yellow building in Westside, opposite Topaz.


Both of them are excellent. Also a Muay Thai club runs outta the same building.

Right thanks,so just a case of tippin in there and getting the information.
Anyone know there opening times and how much membership would be for the year?

The training times of all clubs are painted on the outside of the building. The information is visible if you're driving on the main road.

I know one of the (think it's Olympic) are trainng today between 4 and 8.

I can't remember the prices exactly, but when I was at the Galway Boxing Club, it was something like €50 a year for the training, and then you put €1 in the pot every time you used the club (paid for the cleaning after hours)

Might have changed since I was last there, but GBC trained Tuesdays and Thursday evenings. I think it was 7-9 or 6-8 or something.
OBC was Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

The one in Westside is full of travellers, i wouldn't go around it personally.

There's another one out in Furbo.... with normal folk, E2 a night, you'd need a car though.

Even the coaches?? anyway I don't have a car so that limits my options

Ya basically(there could be a few in both trainers/trainees that are ''buffers too'' but wouldn't be many)it's two gyms in one complex, the old ''hillside'' one(i think they trained in a container or something up there back in the day) and the westside one, which just from being city located had all the ones from the locality.

I'd have never considered going in there personally. Could cycle to Furbo :pac:, one lad used to cycle from the east side of the city out there(crazy)

PerrinV2

Maybe I should try http://www.galwaythaiboxing.com/
at least they have a website

A lot of them are but the club is grand. Like most boxing clubs, they've very strict rules on things like bullying. I was there for 2 years and never saw/had any trouble.

Coaches are legends.

Mrs OBumble

There is (was???) a building in Liosbán Industrial Estate that has a sign on it saying

• St Michael's Boxing Academy
• Tribes Boxing Academy

Pretty sure I remember some publicity last year when they found that as a replacement to the containers that were being used.

Don't know any more than that ... but I find it hard to believe that there's no boxing training on the east side of the city and that lads from the east go to Westside to train.

PerrinV2

Which club were you with kickoutthe jams if you don't mind me asking,olympic or galway boxing club?

Hi!

I'm new to Galway and have a crazy idea to get myself in shape doing something you Irish are famous for - boxing! Does anyone have any experience with a club in town? Is it possible to just train as a boxer and not actually fight?

Amik

iii Stevo iii

In the city centre/suburbs theres the boxing club in westside, 3 clubs use it, Galway - Southpaw and Olympic.
Then there's the NUIG Boxing club which train in dangan. If your a student or past student of NUI I'd advice going to the NUIG one, there's no obligation to fight and a lot of people use it for fitness and technique.
The westside clubs are somewhat more serious and like there members to fight for the club.

Triangle

Amik,
There's one beside my work place (liosban business park) on the tuam road.

I'm don't know anything about it but like you i've often thought of joining for the fitness and craic.

might be worth a look in.

dinneenp

I think I'm going to try the White Collar boxing.
gave him a quick call and it sounds good-
9 weeks ( I think) of intensive training.
3 rounds of 3 minutes boxing at the end on a Fight Night. you don't have to do this if you don't want to. But I'd imagine it gives you something to aim for....
starting Tues week

Happy Monday
