Headon Boxing Academy Leopardstown

Fantastic experience: Brilliant class. Learning a lot every session. Attention to detail from Sean is first class.

Positive experience: Excellent classes! It's conducted in the best possible way. As a fresher, I really enjoy the classes and I don't feel awkward not knowing something. The trainers are very good and understanding. Loud shout out for Sean.

Fantastic experience: Started at Headon in the summer and tonight was my first night doing one of Izzy’s bag work classes and it was amazing. Izzy is so welcoming and inviting and makes you feel so comfortable in the class while also working you so hard. I nearly got sick tonight but I loved every minute of it! Amazing coach!

Fantastic experience: Excellent instructors and they work with each individual one to one over the session. After the 4 week beginner course your technique comes in leaps and bounds. I had no previous experience with boxing and found the beginner course fantastic, and have signed up for membership immediately I was so impressed. Highly recommend for all fitness levels. Each session has been fun and keeps you wanting more.

Fantastic experience: I’ve joined Headon academy around 3 months ago and couldn’t be happier about it. Instructors are so good and helpful. The place is clean and well organised with everything you need for your classes. I was looking for some routine change months back and enrolling for Headon was the best decision. I always leave classes feeling better than I started.

Fantastic experience: I joined around 4 months ago as a complete beginner. I’ve really enjoyed every step of it so far and would highly recommend the beginners class to get a feel for it. All of the trainers I’ve met have been extremely good, very engaging and approachable.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training in HBA for 4 year. The classes are tough but I always feel like I’ve have a great work out after each class. The coaches are all really nice and approachable. I would recommend these classes to anyone

Fantastic experience: HBA is very well organised, and the team is super friendly and helpful. They pay attention to every detail, which makes training here a great experience. The place is always clean and tidy, and you can see they really care about keeping it nice. I tried multiple locations and multiple classes, and I can say that all of them were at a high standard which makes you get in shape and learn boxing while having fun.

Fantastic experience: Ive been to many boxing gyms. Almost all are incredibly musty, grimy, and you’re mostly left to your own devices to figure out what you should be doing. Headon is very clean and structured. All of the instructors are very friendly, and give constant instruction so that you can improve. The workouts are really well structured, and I find that I always leave feeling much fitter, stronger, and as a genuinely better boxer.

Fantastic experience: Having taken the intro class at the end of September and haven't look back. The classes are a great workout and the coaches are always keeping an eye to help you with technique and push you. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Completed the beginners boxing course and have been doing weekly classes since! Great workout, motivation and you always feel better after a class. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great studio and staff - mighty friendly. Really good workout and a chance to aquire new skills. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Headon Boxing Academy is a brilliant place to start or continue your fitness journey. I joined with no background or any idea about boxing, but the team are so supportive between the Intro Session to get a taste, the follow-on Beginners Course to get you up to speed with the regulars, and the general classes you book your space in. Sean and Paddy are awesome instructors, as are the rest of the team up at Sandyford. Special shout out to Sarah who will help with any questions or issues regarding memberships and your sports gear. Been with HBA 4 months now and love the routine. I highly encourage anyone and everyone to try for themselves.

Fantastic experience: Doing the beginners course was a great introduction into boxing and fitness. I feel like I’ve finally started to enjoy exercising and much of it is because of the welcoming and encouraging atmosphere at HBA. Can’t wait for each session

Fantastic experience: There's not enough positive things I could say about HBA. I've been a member for about 3 years now and I have had nothing but positive experiences. Between the boxing and the LIFT classes, Seán, Paddy, Jamie, Izzy, Oisin, and all the other coaches couldn't be nicer or more knowledgeable. If you're thinking of trying it out I'd highly recommend as you won't regret it ☺️

Fantastic experience: Good atmosphere, very friendly people and staff

Fantastic experience: If you are new to boxing or make boxing as a part of your lifestyle for skillets, fitness… I would highly recommend Headon Academy. They have fantastic coaching staff and amazing utilities and sessions to choose from depending on your personal requirements.

Excited now to get started in the classes and make a routine out of it. Such a friendly group of coaches, couldn't recommend it enough for anyone looking for a new challenge! :)

Fantastic experience: Super classes & instructors!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love the boxing studio at Headon! It's a fantastic place with a perfect location, easy access, clean facilities, and ample equipment. The supportive coaches make the experience even better. What I appreciate the most about Headon is the beautiful setting with windows all around the walls. It feels like you're working out in nature, surrounded by fresh air. I also love the inclusive atmosphere where both junior and experienced boxers feel welcomed and valued. No one is ever ignored, and the classes are well-structured. The warm-up routines are thorough, ensuring that we are properly prepared before ramping up the intensity. I always feel comfortable monitoring my heart rate during and after the class, which to me is crucial for a safe and effective workout. I highly recommend Headon for anyone looking for a top-notch boxing experience. Just be sure not to confuse it with the Heather Road location.

Fantastic experience: Best place for anyone who wants to learn Boxing. Super cool and friendly coaches who will work with you for all your requirements for progress. Special kudos to Sean, an amazing coach

Fantastic experience: Well paced course. Probably will keep up the boxing afterwards.

Fantastic experience: A great workout. Coaches are very supportive and welcoming. Highly recommend the beginner intro course if you’re new to boxing.

Fantastic experience: I started boxing at Headon at the beginning of this year and have loved every second of it. I was very nervous to begin boxing but haven't looked back! Highly recommend doing the beginner intro course to build the basics and confidence Between bagwork and signature classes, I leave every class physically exhausted but mentally buzzing! All the coaches are so helpful and focused on challenging you and helping you progress. It's a great place to train, with lovely people! Always looking forward to the next class!

Fantastic experience: Owner said he’d pull my membership if i didn't write this. But seriously, it’s a great place, great people and always a great workout. Joining was one of the best decisions I made in a while. #TeamSean.

Fantastic experience: Unbelievable gym with unbelievable coaches and people. Regardless of fitness or boxing ability it is an incredibly welcoming atmosphere. I have been doing the classes and personal training for a few years and would recommend boxing to absolutely everyone to try. My boxing and fitness and positive mindset have all come on massively in that time. I have also done a couple of the fight camps which have been brilliant and would say to anyone male or female young or old who is thinking about having a boxing fight to just take the plunge and do it. The training and coaching is brilliant and everything is done as safely and carefully as possible.

Fantastic experience: The best boxing studio in Dublin. Sean offers an outstanding pad work class that is both challenging and engaging. The studio provides a welcoming atmosphere, and the staff is knowledgeable and supportive. Highly recommended for anyone looking to improve their boxing skills.

Fantastic experience: Good stuff

Fantastic experience: Fantastic class with Sean - tough workout! Facilities are amazing!

Fantastic experience: I started boxing at headon just under a year ago as a total beginner and absolutely loved it. I did the intro course which is the best way to learn and ease yourself in. The coaches are so supportive and create a great atmosphere in every class. There is such a wide variety of class options so there is always one that I can fit into my schedule. They really cater to all skill levels and I have never once been made feel I wasn’t good enough for any class. It’s the best and most enjoyable fitness I have ever done couldn’t recommend more !!!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant set up run by great people. Perfect for busy parents with a wide range of classes and times to suit everyone.

Fantastic experience: Great setup, very knowledgeable coaches and very patient with beginners who want to learn

Fantastic experience: Can't say enough good things about Sean, Paddy and all the other coaches at Headon Boxing Academy since we got started over a year ago now. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and at ease. What really sets them apart is the safe and supportive environment they've created. Whether you're an experienced boxer or a beginner this gym is the perfect place to train. I've already seen significant improvement in my fitness, technique and confidence since joining. I highly recommend giving it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Every time after class, I'm extremely exhausted! But after a month, you'll find that your body is much healthier than before. I'm attending a training camp with four sessions a week. Monday is basic training, Thursday is boxing technique training, Saturday is training with different teammates, and Sunday is physical fitness training. After each session, I feel like saying, 'Just kill me, I'm so tired!' But I really enjoy it! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have thoroughly enjoyed the fight camp so far. The classes are engaging, challenging, and productive. All of the coaches are approachable and willing to answer any questions - they're good craic, too! The sparring is managed very professionally, it seems - it never feels as though things might get out of hand. I would highly recommend this gym, whether it be for the 3-week beginner course, the fight camp, or their other classes.

Fantastic experience: Recently signed up for a fight camp. All the trainers are brilliant. Have always enjoyed working out but this has been the most fun I've had in years. Learning something at every session too. Just wish I did it sooner.

Fantastic experience: Super training led by a great bunch of people.

Fantastic experience: Such a Friendly environment. Great experience for all levels of boxing , tough but rewarding sessions where you can learn technical skill and get a good sweat on!

Fantastic experience: HBA is amazing! I joined the beginners course in April and am currently doing the fight camp and it is the hardest but best thing I've ever done. As a complete beginner I was made to feel so comfortable by all the coaches and participants. There is always a great atmosphere at the classes and every class pushes you harder than the one before. I would highly recommend HBA to everyone!

Fantastic experience: If you’re at all on the fence about trying out a class, I recommend just going for it! I started classes with Headon Boxing Academy in late February and can tell you that the €10 I spent on the intro class is arguably the best €10 I’ve ever spent. Since that time I have done their beginners course, a few months of regular classes and am now undertaking one of their Fight Camps which has been incredibly safe, supportive and an unforgettable experience so far. Every coach I’ve trained with during my time with the HBA has been incredible, scaling exercises to individual ability ensuring that everybody continues to improve themselves and their technique and leaves having given it their best effort and having gotten a great workout. The HBA is a fantastic community too, so if you’re nervous about coming down you’re sure to find supportive classmates who will quickly become friends. Having studios across Dublin means that you’re sure to find one that fits in with your work/life schedule. I cannot recommend the HBA enough, my physical and mental health are both the best they’ve been as a direct result of training there - hopefully see you there soon!!

Fantastic experience: I love this place. Joined as I wanted to improve my cardio in a fun space. The classes are great and the coaches are so lovely and encouraging. Great options for all abilities. I could not recommend more ❤️

Fantastic experience: Very friendly classes focused on the techniques and work out!

Fantastic experience: Tried the two week introduction and never looked back. This place has great facilties, great atmosphere and the whole team is super friendly and helpful. Really couldn't recommend Headon boxing more! They also offer specialised trainings with a great team in chapter 2 fitness around the corner from the sandyford gym. You can achieve all your fitness goals with Headon while being part of a great and friendly community.

Fantastic experience: I could not recommend Headon Boxing Academy enough! I started in the gym over a month ago and have loved every class. The team of coaches are fantastic and super talented. They all bring amazing energy to every class and push you to your limits. Its a very welcoming environment no matter your experience. For me these classes have been the motivation I need to get back into exercise, get my fitness level up but also learn a great sport.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love the sandyford studio! Accessible, large parking lot, clean and friendly people. The beginner class was so worth it, I definitely keep going

Fantastic experience: I started boxing as a complete beginner early last year with HBA. Sean, Paddy and all the coaches have been really great throughout. It's been such an enjoyable experience that I've just completed my second fight camp. The facilities are great, the coaches are really knowledgable and helpful and overall it is just a very friendly and fun environment. If you want to challenge yourself, meet lots of new friends or just keep fit and learn a new sport I'd recommend HBA.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend HBA to anyone considering signing up! I joined as a complete beginner in February and have been made feel so welcome and supported. The coaches are amazing, so patient and encouraging. Every class is different but equally enjoyable...suitable for all ages and levels of fitness

Fantastic experience: Started boxing with Headon at the start of the year and I couldn't have enough good things to say. As a beginner the intro classes were perfect to get into the sport, and I haven't looked back since. It's such a great fun way to remain fit, and always provides a good challenge where I feel like I'm still learning and improving every class. The coaches are all fantastic and the variety in class types and structures means every class feels new and fresh. Lastly, I'd like to mention how great the 2 founders Sean and Paddy have been, always supporting you trough the classes and pushing you when needed, I hope to keep it up for many more years to come!

Fantastic experience: It doesn’t matter what level you are at the coaches make you feel very comfortable, and are very encouraging. It’s high energy, and loads of fun. There are loads of different options for classes too which keeps it interesting. Would highly recommend Headon.

Fantastic experience: Been training here for absolutely years. Really good spot, trainers are friendly and the classes provide great exercise. Suitable for beginners and more advanced boxing skill sets.

Fantastic experience: Joining HBA Boxing Academy has been a game-changer for me. From my very first day, I was warmly welcomed by a team of dedicated and supportive coaches who made me feel right at home. Their expertise and genuine encouragement created an environment where I could thrive. During my 8-week fight camp, their guidance was invaluable. Each coach brought unique insights that helped me improve every aspect of my boxing. Their encouragement and tailored training programs were pivotal in preparing me for my first match. When the big day arrived, I felt confident and ready. Thanks to their dedication and support, I won my first match. HBA Boxing Academy is more than just a gym; it's a community that nurtures and builds champions. I'm incredibly grateful to Sean, Paddy, Oisin, Robbie, Val, Michael and Izzy for making this journey so rewarding and unforgettable.

Fantastic experience: I started out with the Beginners Course at Headon Boxing Academy two years ago and now I have just completed my second fight camp. The community that has been created here is amazing. Every class is run with couches who create a great atmosphere but not at the expense of intense training. Their list of classes is constantly expanding so it is easy to stay interested and you always have the option to try new things. I couldn't recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: A truly awesome experience, the 8 week fight camp challenges you like never before. The difference it makes to your overall ability, speed, fitness and skills is amazing and the guidance from the coaches really helped to improve us all. A safe, fun and friendly environment and memories to last a lifetime

Fantastic experience: Took part in the fight camp for the last few months and enjoyed it immensely. The coaches were incredibly hands on and spent time with each participant to help them improve each session. My fitness has never been better and I loved every minute. I would highly recommend Headon Boxing Academy. Thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: I started in Headon early this year with the beginners course and have just completed the fight camp and my first fight. This is a sport I've always been interested in and the team have given me the chance to try it out in a safe and enjoyable environment. I wouldn't have thought I'd go from my first boxing class to my first fight in less than a year. Great for the mental and physical health!

Fantastic experience: Took the beginner course, really gets you going and then onwards you can set your pace to take boxing up another level. Definitely recommended!

Fantastic experience: I've been struggling to commit or go back to an active lifestyle, with the Lockdown, WFH, etc and I hardly practiced any sports for the last 4 years and could not get motivation to go back to the gym. I signed up for the intro class, and it was like a magic door that opened in front of me.. I may sound like exaggerating but only after few classes I changed, started regular exercises, clear improvement in sleep quality, stress level, more conscious about what I ear, generally I feel better! sometimes I regret not starting when I was younger, but better late than never. Coaches Sean and Paddy are great, I can't recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: Really brilliant classes. Great instruction from the coaches and the intensity is great. Such a good work out

Fantastic experience: HBA it's a great place to work out and practice boxing! great trainers and good facilities “Nice and sharp”

Fantastic experience: I recently did the fight camp with Headon Boxing and cannot recommend this enough. Paddy and Sean and the rest of the trainers are brilliant at guiding everybody through the camp safely while still pushing fitness levels. It's good craic, it's intense, it's tough at times but all worth it

Fantastic experience: Best experience ever! The 8 weeks of training were run brilliantly! Ultimate guidance for safety and tailored to get you ready for Fight Night. Sean and Paddy create a great team atmosphere. Great camp for boosting fitness and self confidence. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: The Headon Boxing Academy fight camp was an incredible experience. The 8 week training camp and fight night were run professionally with an emphasis on technique and safety throughout. The training camp focused mainly on sparring, coached at a controlled level with gradual increases in intensity as the camp progressed. The coaches made sure we were comfortable on the defensive skills before any heavy sparring. Alongside the technical boxing work, the camp provided challenging strength and conditioning classes, with the format of these classes emulating the 3x 2 minute rounds of the fight night. Sean, Paddy, and the rest of the Headon coaches have created a great social atmosphere in these camps , and there was a great sense of camaraderie and respect within the group.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend HBA! The coaches are knowledgeable, friendly and not judgemental! The facilities are clean and well-maintained. The classes are challenging and focus on technique and conditioning. Overall, it's a great place to work out and be part of a supportive community of boxers! Thank you HBA!!!

Fantastic experience: I've been boxing with HBA for a few years but decided to challenge myself for 2023 and signed up to Fight Camp. The training has been brilliant. During the 8-week course, the coaches have worked to steadily build up our confidence, technique and honed our skills to get us ready to step through the ropes for the first time! It’s been a fantastic 8 weeks, great fun, with a super group of people. This has been a massive challenge but would encourage anyone thinking about doing it to get involved.

Fantastic experience: Fight Camp has been an unforgettable experience. It’s such a great way to get fit and have a laugh at the same time. I’d recommend this to anyone looking to challenge themselves, improve their boxing technique or simply step out of their comfort zone. The best thing I’ve done in years!

Fantastic experience: Great location and always have a great class here

Fantastic experience: I really love headon boxing. Ive been going around 6 months now. I initially did a few months of personal training sessions to build up my boxing techinque. I now do classes every week. If you are new to boxing i would 100% advise the PT first. Paddy sean and all the trainers and admin are excellant and incredibly friendly. Couldnt recommend more... except go easy on the burpees lads

Fantastic experience: Such a great fitness class in Dublin. The entire team are so accommodating and generally have a great vibe. Classes are very structured and there’s something for everyone!

Fantastic experience: Great place for anyone looking to learn how to box while also remaining fit. Paddy and Sean genuinely care about the customers and improving the experience any way they can.

Fantastic experience: Headon Boxing offers strength and conditioning like no other. 45 minute hits which are high energy, strength building, stamina enhancing workouts. The coaches are encouraging and non judgemental. A full body and mind workout. Boxing is the new yoga!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been boxing with Headon Boxing for 3 years now with a mixture of classes and PT and a week never goes by where I don’t make it a priority to make it to the studio at least once - I am hooked!! The classes are always challenging (even after three years!) and the trainers are second to none. What has kept me going back to the gym is the atmosphere the guys have created - it is so welcoming and friendly for everyone from beginners to advanced. This isn’t just a boxercise class - they really focus on proper technique while also getting in a great workout! Couldn’t recommend it highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend HBA more! I have been a member for nearly 3 years and I have been hooked since the day I joined. The classes are a really hard workout while also being extremely fun. The coaches are all so friendly and are always on hand to help you out. I have tried all the different class structures, a sparring course and PTs and I would rate all of them as five stars!

Fantastic experience: If you want to get fit and like boxing, this is this is the place to go. I've been here a few months now and really enjoy the atmosphere. The standard of coaching is very high and cant recommend them highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I am a member of HBA for nearly 9 months now and it is honestly one of the best things I have done. The classes are challenging but enjoyable, you always feel great after the workout. There is a very welcoming atmosphere in each of the classes as all the coaches are very friendly. Since joining HBA I have never felt fitter and healthier. I would definitely recommend HBA to anyone who is interested in improving their overall health, both physically and mentally.

Fantastic experience: My first class at Headon Boxing Academy in Sandyford was St Stephens Day last year and I've never looked back. I absolutely love each class and each class is always different as the coaches all have their own unique style and coaching skills. All the coaches are so friendly and encouraging and everyone is at different levels of fitness and age groups. I love the varied times of the classes and the fact they are really fast paced focusing on boxing skills and conditioning all within 45mins. I also love the classes with padwork. I would highly recommend Headon to anyone looking for a new fitness challenge!

Fantastic experience: Started classes in the Leopardstown gym over a year ago and have looked forward to going every week since. I was really nervous having never boxed before, but the coaches are all so nice and helpful and I can’t believe what the classes have done for my confidence and fitness.

Fantastic experience: The best work out and so easy to book

Fantastic experience: I've been attending Headon for 3 months after taking a 10 year break from boxing. I felt a bit intimidated walking in, but was immediately put at ease by Sean and the team. All the trainers have great energy and positivity and the classes are fun and challenging. Unlike most gyms, I never dread going there. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Have attended the boxing class since Sept 2021, first things first ! the pace and energy created during the classes are great for starting the mornings and also to release the stress after long working hours, specially if you work sitting in chair the whole day. The classes create a health competition environment as you are around other attendees that are also doing great on their exercise, boredom is something not to be found in HBA. The instructors are on the top of their game with their exercises sets, and also all the team members that assist during the classes! After couple of weeks I notice an increase in stamina, cardio and explosion and also some pounds were not there anymore. (Special call out to Osis, Nessa, Tony,Paddy and Ben) (Sarah for being responsive in the communication channels!) HBA location that I attend are Marian and Grand canal Studios.

Fantastic experience: Been with Headon about 3 years - classes are great and coaches like Ben and Oisin really push you to make the most of the class.

Fantastic experience: Great classes with a great atmosphere. All the Coaches are friendly and encouraging throughout the sessions. Every class varies from the previous providing a great challenge. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend HBA boxing! I tried out a class 2 years ago for a cardio option to my training and was immediately hooked. Since then its been PT sessions, sparring courses and as many classes as I can fit in! With such brilliant coaches and the variety of classes, you will leave in a sweat but feeling fit & energised and most importantly with a clear head and stress free! Such a fun workout!

Fantastic experience: I've been training with the lads here for almost a year now. The fight camps are more than worth it no matter how good or bad you think you are!! Couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Whether you're experienced or just a beginner in boxing they have all types of classes to suit any skill level. All of the coaches are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. It's also just a great way to get fit. Can't recommend it highly enough!
