LOCATION
We proudly opened our doors at the brand new Boxing Science Performance Centre in February 2021. This is a state of the sport science testing and training facility for athletes to learn more about their physiological profile to inform world class training methods.
One of the key reasons for opening the performance centre was to create a home for our educational workshops. The space, facilities and location make it perfect for coaches to visit Boxing Science for the weekend, leaving with new knowledge and coaching tools to apply to their training.
Our performance centre is based near Sheffield, UK. It’s just 2 minutes from Junction 36 of the M1 and off A616 (leads to Woodhead Pass) – making it a great location whichever direction you’re travelling from.
