Spit and Sawdust is an amateur Boxing Club based in Surbiton, Surrey. The club offers great facilities and encourages members to keep fit and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Spit and Sawdust is owned and managed by Gary Thatcher. Gary is a professional Gym Instructor, black belt Chinese Boxing Instructor and a qualified A.B.A. Coach. He created the club based on the values of an old school style boxing club, hence the name, Spit and Sawdust. The principals of ‘no nonsense’ boxing and fitness training are promoted at the club, in a bright and modern environment.

There are two main areas – the gym which has numerous punch bags and a boxing ring and the studio which is used for classes.

Non contact boxing training is an excellent form of exercise for everyone. You will not be intimidated if you choose this type of training as a means to getting fitter, whatever your fitness level, age or gender. Boxing training provides a good all round workout and it can help you to increase stamina, lose weight, tone muscles and in turn build your confidence.

Complete novices to boxing training are advised to join in with one of the classes to begin with, where you will be given guidance and advice to suit your ability. Those that have trained before are able to workout individually or join a class if preferred. All boxing classes are led by qualified Amateur Boxing Association Coaches. Sparring is an optional activity for members who wish to do so.
 



In addition to the gym facilities, Spit and Sawdust also offers the following:

• Changing Rooms/Showers
• Private Car Park
