Established in 1968 as the Cloverlay Gym to be the 'home' gym for 1964 Olympic Gold Medallist Joe Frazier's progression into the professional boxing arena

In 1973 Mr Joe Frazier purchased all the shares from his fellow partners in the company and changed the name to the Joe Frazier's Gym.

This is the very same gym that Smokin' Joe Frazier trained at throughout his illustrious career including for those famous fights when he became the undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World - Over the years this gym has also been the 'home' gym for many World Class Boxers.

Training starts here from ages 8 and up - amateur to professional, male or female all boxers follow a demanding routine of traditional boxing training designed to promote both the physical and mental strength to prepare them not only for battles within the ring but the trials of life itself under the close supervision of the three main trainers and occasionally Mr Joe Frazier himself.

If inspiration is needed, the walls are papered with reminders of Joe's own great career as well as the credoes he lives by - values of loyalty to family and friends, honesty and determination.

The gym is fully equipped with everything a boxer - whether amateur or professional - could wish for to enable them to practise their art; from heavy bags to free-weights and everything in between, not to mention individual pads work and ringcraft with some of the finest trainers in the sport.

Whilst it is always advisable to have all your own kit, there are also a full selection of protective headgear, protective belts, gloves etc available. The gym also holds a small selection of kit for purchase, including wraps, tape, gloves and boots.

At all times there are fully qualified trainers renowned for their expertise on hand; whether new to the sport or World Championship level be assured you will receive the highest quality training and conditioning support you could possibly hope for.

In addition to the normal training regime, regular sparring sessions are arranged between in-house fighters as part of the ringcraft training - and occasionally with visiting boxers from around the world - Freddie Roach has brought his fighters here to spar as have UFC competitors - and as such all members are required to have a full medical prior to signing up to train at the gym.
