Neil Bowman Training/Boxing

Fantastic experience: I have been going to strength and boxing classes in Neil’s gym for a few years now and I really love it. Great trainers, lovely bunch of people and really hard but satisfying work outs. Highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Started boxing here recently and really glad I did. David takes the time to teach properly and pushes you to improve. Everyone in the gym is helpful and very skilled. great place to train!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I, along with our two preteen boys, trained with Neil for six months—and it was an incredible experience. I originally wanted a workout that pushed me physically, but we got so much more. Neil is knowledgeable, focused, and great at tailoring training to different ages and fitness levels. He knows when to challenge you and when to adjust, and he makes every session engaging. Our boys gained confidence, discipline, and real boxing skills, all while having fun. If you’re looking for serious training in a supportive, no-ego environment—whether for adults or kids—Neil is the one to go to. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Incredible change in body composition just after 4 weeks with Guys at Blackrock Health! Hipoxi works and there is no doubt in my mind! Clothes are falling off me and my body is super shaped! 2 sizes down in 6 weeks! Highly recommend Neil meal plan - follow and you will see results!

Fantastic experience: Neil runs a very professional gym catering for all levels of fitness and ages. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. I have been attending regularly for a number of years now. I have no doubt the work I do in his gym will give me strength and good health as i go through the decades of life.

Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend Neil Bowman Training enough. I signed up to compete in Hyrox at the start of the year and I really wanted to join a friendly gym that was 'Hyrox training' focused. Neil and Dave were amazing in helping prepare us for the race and I felt so confident going into it - not to mention they make the classes fun and we always have a laugh! I have never felt more fit and healthy and look forward to continuing my training with Neil Bowman training / boxing.

Fantastic experience: After having my 2nd baby, my whole shape had changed. I had gone up 4 dress sizes and didn’t recognise myself. I started with the guys at hypoxi 3 months ago. Not only has my whole shape completely changed I have lost 11kg and gone down 4 dress sizes. Hypoxi is just amazing and I couldn’t t recommend it any more. After my 1st child I went to the gym 3 times a week and still couldn’t get back right done to fit into my pre pregnancy jeans . From a tight size 14 I now fit back into my size 8 jeans after 3 months. It’s hard to believe but it really works. The guys at Blackrock health and fitness are amazing and really guide and encourage you all the way.

Fantastic experience: I love it for the camaraderie and the fact that I took 11 minutes off my personal best in Hyrox!

Fantastic experience: Completed my first hyrox at the wknd and want to say a massive thank you to Neil & the team at NBT for all the encouragement, support and training. It was a brilliant event and all the advice & instruction really helped me push through. The community at NBT are so lovely, it’s easy to be consistent when training is fun! Looking forward to working towards the next challenge….

Fantastic experience: Great gym, especially for hyrox training. Really well equipped and loads of support and tips. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Being part of Neil's gym community over the last two years has been a really welcoming, fun and impactful experience. I've learned how to box, run a half marathon and complete a hyrox event. I'd never have thought this would be possible but Neil and his team have been encouraged, challenged and supported me all the way. Everyone's made to feel welcome across all ages and fitness levels. It's a really great experience.

Fantastic experience: Couldn't recommend Neil and the gang enough. A really welcoming atmosphere in the gym and plenty of craic too. A few of us were interested in learning boxing technique alongside some fitness and weights and we loved it. Definitely worth giving it a go and you'll be looked after very well!

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing boxing session! The trainers were knowledgeable and motivating, creating a great atmosphere. I loved the challenging workouts and great craic along the way. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get fit and learn boxing techniques 10/10!

Fantastic experience: Really good atmosphere, small class sizes. Recommend highly.

Fantastic experience: I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience with Neil Bowman. The group classes are a great workout surrounded by a great community. Neil is always very conscious of form and will adapt all exercises to the individual if required. After recently starting hypoxi, I have found it very effective and a great way of toning. I am amazed at how well it compliments the workouts and look forward to continuing in the gym

Fantastic experience: Neil kick-started a new approach to health and fitness for me. His science based insights and state of the art Hypoxi machines are a game changer in delivering results. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to train. Never boxed before and no fitness to speak off. Brilliant training and guidance for the novice, highly recommend Neil and his team.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train, super trainers and tailored to suit all abilities. Neil is really experienced and I really like how he encourages you to push hard in each class.

Fantastic experience: Neil and his team in Blackrock, are definitely worth visiting, regardless of your fitness goals. The variety of exercises and training options used at NBT mean you can lose weight, get strong, and improve fitness fast in a fun environment. His boxing classes cater for all levels, so I recommend trying out some of the many class times - a trainer will always be there to help! I also used the personal training services at NBT. Tailored to your schedule/whether you may have a prior injury etc...and can involve Hypoxi Training, specific for weight loss & toning. NBT is not just a boxing gym, it covers all areas of fitness alongside nutritional advice. 5 Stars Well done Neil and team.

Fantastic experience: Neil is extremely creative coach, he always comes up with something different to keep us interested in the training. The other something I really like is the music in this gym! No Lady Gaga radio here but Massive Attack and Beasty Boys instead, if you grew up in the 80s-90s you gonna love it Thank you Neil and the team!

Fantastic experience: Neil Bowman fitness is an absolutely super training facility with incredible trainers! The trainers get to know you very quickly and know how to tailor their coaching to your specific level as a result. I loved learning a new skill with them. I felt stronger and fitter in a few short weeks! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed the 8 week fight night boxing programme. Super coaching, great fitness and conditioning and fight night itself was great fun. Thanks to Neil, Ken, Jim and the rest of the team.

Fantastic experience: Neil and his crew are absolutely amazing! Their drive for pushing us and mixing up the sessions is very impressive. This gym (and community) have been a real game-changer for me in terms of my conditioning and mental health over the last 2 yrs. Pound for pound the best training I have ever done. I continue to seen concrete results. There is no hiding from Neil’s body fat diagnosis! It’s easy to get out of bed at 5:30 (am!) to do battle with such a wonderful crew and clientele. A HUGE thank you to Neil & team for all your hard work and sacrifice to make your gym such a rewarding experience for me.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended for anyone looking to boost your body, mind & soul - get thee to Neil Bowman Training/Boxing! Neil caters to all ages & levels of fitness, wholly displayed in a dazzling 'Fight Night' event on 29th October. What a thrill it was to take part, SO very pleased with myself.

Fantastic experience: 5 star review for a 5 star boxing gym. Great sessions catering to all levels of boxing. I walked in the doors as a total novice some time ago and have now just completed my first white collar boxing bout. Sessions mix it up between cardio, weights and boxing skill, with plenty of classes morning, afternoon or evening to choose from. Great friendy vibe in the place, nurtured carefully and professionally by Neil Bowman and his team. Cant recommend enough

Fantastic experience: Helping my family and I get fit. Neil and Kenneth both are very friendly and run a great gym.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic boxing club with great coaches. Sparring on a Saturday morning is the highlight of my week!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant for kids starting off

Fantastic experience: My 15 year old son just completed the Neil Bowman summer training camp, and I can’t recommend it enough. He can home every day in great form. He loved the mix of activities along with the excellent staff, saying all the trainers were really nice (high praise from a teenager!)will definitely be booking him in for more.

Fantastic experience: Great gym for kids boxing training, all the staffs are friendly and helpful! Highly Recommend!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Neil Bowman Training. In my time there I thoroughly enjoyed the classes I attended. There is a great atmosphere there. The trainers as well as being highly competent are also good craic and personable. There is a warm and comfortable rapport between them and the attendees. The other class members are super friendly. The classes themselves are an ecletic mix of exercises which keeps the interest levels going and they offer a great challenge. I noticed a marked in improvement in my fitness and overall well-being having attended classes there. I look forward to going back.

Fantastic experience: I came to Bowman having never thrown a punch or done any boxing. Neil and everyone spent time to let me know proper technique and feel really welcome. I came home from that first workout feeling really excited about trying something totally new. The staff makes sure to modify workouts if you have injuries or concerns about your body. I've noticed that there is a wide range of people at the sessions - women, men, younger, and older. Yet, everybody feels really welcome and can improve at their own pace.

Fantastic experience: Neil Bowman's Gym is just a great place to train. The energy in the gym is just fantastic and makes the boxing and high intensity training really fun and interactive! I recommend this place 100 % thanks Neil and co

Fantastic experience: I came to Neil Bowman this year after a double hip surgery after 3 months ,I was very young to get it done as through the years I had a lot of falls with different Sports and back pain issues due to my job.. So had them done ,I’m a mum of two boys amd haven’t had a chance to get back into training again since I had them,so i went to Neil amd slowly after gentle training to help my hips adjust amd my back. So Started training doing boxing amd exercise but always he was gently moving me to train harder and the fitter I got, thanks to you Neil. ,cant thank you enough ,and you won’t be getting rid of me either!! So anyone who is looking to Train with a personal Trainner or to just go to the classes as they feel like a one to one session as they are so good. Kick boxing is favourite class, never did it before,now I’m hooked!!Thank you to Senan and David who are other trainers also. Sue

Fantastic experience: Thank you @ Neil Bowman training. My son enjoyed so much your youth boxing camp and the classes. His physical strength improved a lot. The boxing training included weight lifting training, nutrition advice and knowledge about the body and it’s movement, great opportunity for everyone to get fit and keep the good life style. I highly recommend Neil and his team.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed, learnt a lot about the boxing and would definitely do again

Fantastic experience: My son had a fantastic week @ Neil Bowman training. He did the boxing training for 15 - 17 year olds which also included weight lifting training, nutrition advice and learning about how your body works and moves. I would highly recommend Neil and his team.

Fantastic experience: I have been enjoying Neils classes for many years now. The HIT sessions moved to Zoom and are brilliant, you feel the burn during and after! Really great, fun way to start your day. The strength and fitness you build up is next level, would recommend the classes to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed Neils Zoom classes, Neil is super motivating, makes the classes very enjoyable, he is a fantastic coach. Great selection of classes and times to suit all, no excuses to miss any. Highly Recommend Neil Bowman Training.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoying the classes with Neil over zoom. Neil is a great coach and the classes have kept me motivated during lockdown. Different time options means you don't have an excuse to miss the class!

Fantastic experience: I love training with Neil! The sessions are hard work but I feel great afterwards. As a result of the training and a better diet, I'm fitter, slimmer, more toned and have more energy. It's great for mental wellbeing as well - a lifesaver in lockdown! Can't rate highly enough.

Fantastic experience: It was great to do training with Neil over zoom - the classes were well paced, very clear and got the days off to a great start with the 9am slot. I really liked the fact that he continued our motivation and did the floor work when he would know we would need it. As he demonstrates all the exercises and partakes himself, I felt this was a lot less judgemental and he was able to understand and talk us through the exercises really well. Neil is a great trainer and with the nutritional advice, you are stronger before you know it.

Fantastic experience: If you are after challenging yet achievable training and results by a professional experienced coach, this is it. Neil is a motivating and very attentive coach with varied sessions with good value packages. I tried many but he is one of the best!

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Neil (over Zoom) since the beginning of February and loving his classes. He's really knowledgeable and takes time to explain and demonstrate each exercise and shows different levels of the same exercises to suit your level. I had a problem with the booking system (no fault of Neil's) and he was very receptive in getting the issue resolved. His workouts are tough and as you start to adapt and get more comfortable he will switch it up so that you are always working and improving in all areas. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Neil Bowman for just over 6 months after a long hiatus due to lack of motivation. I was immediately made feel welcome to the classes with every exercise tailored to my strength and fitness level. Fast forward a few months to where I felt confident enough to undertake the five week nutrition and fitness challenge. This was tough but the weekly weigh-ins where all stats & measurements were recorded and fully explained by Neil meant you could see results, along with continued motivation and direction for the coming week made it achievable. Not only did I reach my goals by the end of the challenge, I’ve since continued on improving my strength and fitness and with the help of Neil, have set newly adapted goals for the coming months in line with my progress to date. Neil is extremely knowledgeable on all matters fitness and nutrition and is incredibly generous with both his time and expertise. I would have no hesitation in recommending Neil Bowman Training to anyone irrespective of age, gender or fitness level..... he will get the best out of you regardless.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Neil since March . I love his classes. I do strength training and boxing classes. I have just finished a five week challenge which included training and a nutrition plan . The results were amazing and Neil really helped me understand what to eat when you train .

Fantastic experience: The best group training class in south Dublin bar none !!! I always have fun and get a serious workout in. Amazing facilities and even better staff.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Neil for just over 6 months now and have enjoyed every minute of it. No two classes are the same and suit all abilities. Neil has created a great community of positive people which certainly helps keep you motivated.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Neil Bowman training and I absolutely love the boxing sessions! Neil’s classes are great with lots of variety to get fit and strong, with great results!! I’ve been going for the past few months and have already seen my fitness levels increase while also learning lots about boxing technique!

Fantastic experience: I've been with Neil for 18 months. First doing some personal training and since doing classes. Can't recommend Neil enough. He's a super coach/trainer and motivator. The right mix of support and pushing. And I say that as someone who never really did gym work before. Working on a nutrition plan in addition to the gym work over past six weeks has been great. Have ended up cooking a lot more than I used as well.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Neil Bowman training. I have trained with Neil over several years, taking vacuum therapy sessions. I've always achieved great results within short periods of time. Following my recent success, my friend is now taking vacuum therapy sessions and is very happy with her achievements so far. Thanks to Neil and his team for their encouraging advice and support.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this boxing gym. I have been going to Neil for 6 months and apart from a lot of fun with lovely people in the classes, his workouts really enhanced my physical strength and coordination. The combination of circle training and boxing is unique and enjoyable. Although training in a group, Neil manages to tailor the exercises to everyone’s level. All in all highly recommended to everyone no matter age or fitness level!

Fantastic experience: I started training with Neil 3 months before my wedding and what a difference it made!! I’ve always been really into gym and fitness so finding classes that I find tough and worthwhile is always a struggle. I have to say, Neil is one of the best trainers I’ve ever trained with. He pushes you to your limits while still making all his classes so enjoyable. In addition to the classes, I did a few personal training boxing sessions which were fantastic! I also used the Hypoxi machines in the run up to my wedding and the results were brilliant! Places that I usually struggled to tone (bum and thighs) were suddenly firm and tight! I would highly recommend both the gym and Hypoxi to anyone, particularly brides to be! I felt a million dollars on my wedding day and a huge part of this was down to Neil.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Neil for more than 2 years and having tried lots of different gyms and classes over the years, I can sincerely say that this is the best that I have experienced. Apart from the benefits that you can expect from any physical workout, Neil's approach of tailoring exercise to individual clients has really worked for me. He takes time to understand what you need and he builds an engaging programme around those needs. He has a very open-minded attitude which means he is not afraid to adapt the sessions if he feels more can be achieved by tweaking things. If you are thinking about starting a new fitness regime or you are looking to change from something you are already doing, I can strongly recommend Neil Bowman Training - great fun and great results.

Fantastic experience: Neils classes are the perfect hybrid between personal training and group classes. Neil’s ability to focus on each individual’s needs and fitness level, while having the motivation and of a group class, is unique. For someone who has done both in the past, I can’t recommend Neil’s classes enough! My fitness levels and strength have increased significantly since I started 6 months ago, and I’m loving seeing the results!

Fantastic experience: Neil’s classes are challenging, fun and I feel the benefits after every session!

Fantastic experience: Neil is a top trainer, he makes it easy for everyone (young and old) to integrate into the classes because the workouts are varied, challenging and genuinely good fun. The atmosphere Neil creates is always positive, which makes walking in the door to train a ‘pleasure’.

Fantastic experience: Great facility and very high quality coaching. Friendly atmosphere and you quickly develop a great technique skill set thanks to Neil's guidance. Ideal place for anyone looking to get fitness results, improve health, whilst also improving your boxing skills and having fun. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: A brilliant place to train hard Neil is a stellar coach and the gym is full of friendly faces.

Fantastic experience: Can’t believe I’m saying this (and don’t tell Neil) but I love his classes. I was a 50 year old (and some) couch potato who hadn’t so much as run for a bus in 30 years. But it really doesn’t matter. He takes you step by step and brings you along at your own pace. Everything he does is tailored for where you are fitness wise and the only goals are the ones I set. There was no shame in only being able to lift the bar (with no weights!!) on the first day. Every night is different....different exercises with a different focus....and is there a better way to de-stress than beating the bejaysus out of a punch bag? Can’t recommend him enough!

Fantastic experience: To be honest, fitness is not my thing but as a 50 something year old, I was going to pot. Neil designed a v doable training programme with lots of really good diet and lifestyle advice. In a couple of months I've lost my belly and am much fitter...I don't feel 50 anymore!!!

Fantastic experience: Really great trainer and very nutritionally knowledgeable so gives you the combination of fitness and diet. Great fun, makes things interesting always.

Fantastic experience: Have been boxing here since I was 16. Really challenging workouts that also teach you the skills of boxing. Very inclusive for all ages and strengths. With Neil’s attitude towards us pushing ourselves and also minding our bodies I have learned so much. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Been training here for quite a while, hard working and friendly atmosphere. Neil has been a great trainer and coach, he puts in a lot of effort to make sure everyone enjoys their time there.

Fantastic experience: This is a brilliant class for mind and body. Neil always varies his approach. I've been going for a few years and yet he still comes up with new exercises. The circuit training is tailored to each individual and the boxing class is great for all round fitness. Very highly recommended A++

Fantastic experience: That's exactly what I needed! Neil is awesome, and his work out programmes really make you work! I could see my body transform within just few weeks. I've never done boxing classes before, but thanks to Neil, now there's nothing better for freeing my mind after intensive days of work. Can highly recommend it!
