Siobhan Keppler - Founder, Head Boxing Coach & K1 Coach

Siobhan has competed in kickboxing, white collar and amateur boxing and continues as an active carded boxer under England Boxing. She can relate to the physical and mental challenges faced as an active boxer.
“In 2019, after several years of training, competing, and teaching boxing, I decided it was time to open a full-time boxing gym where my aim is to welcome children and adults, both men and women of all ages, fitness levels and abilities. Making boxing accessible for all, whether for competitive, health or social reasons. I’ve seen the huge positive difference boxing training can make to a person’s mental health on so many occasions and I am passionate about sharing that opportunity with as many people as possible”.

“Boxing has become a massive part of my life. I only started boxing to try something new. The next thing I knew, I was stepping into the ring for my first white collar fight and going to as many classes as I could. I have made amazing friendships and learnt so much about myself. Boxing has given me patience, confidence and fitness. I enjoy being part of the team at Box HIIT Gym and sharing the experience with others, that I have found through Boxing.”
