Train Like a Boxer

MPL Box Fit is a boxing gym kitted out with a wall of TUF-WEAR heavy bags, uppercut bags, a functional trainer, free weights, kettlebells and MIRAFIT weighted power bags, so you can work on fitness, strength and skill in the one place.

Coach Umair's focus is simple: teach the fundamentals properly while helping people get fitter, stronger and more confident. Beginners work through stance, footwork, straight shots, hooks and defence at a pace that makes sense.

What's On

How MPL Box Fit started

From Sessions to Studio

MPL Box Fit grew out of coaching sessions at Monkey Playland. Mohammed Sadiq, the owner of Monkey Playland, trained with Umair and saw how well boxing fitness could work in the venue. They teamed up to create a dedicated studio in the premises: a focused training room where parents, juniors, beginners and regulars could learn real boxing without needing to walk into a big fight gym.

The first posts from the build show the studio coming together in May 2026, followed by 1-to-1 sessions and private group training through June. That is still the feel of the place: local, practical and built around people putting the work in.

The Gym

The room is black brick, rubber floors and hexagonal lighting, with mirrors running the length of the floor. The kit is the part that matters: a functional trainer with cable stacks and slam balls, racks of hex dumbbells, MIRAFIT weighted power bags from 5kg to 25kg, kettlebells, step boxes, resistance bands and a long line of TUF-WEAR bags down the wall.

The studio is compact, practical and busy enough for coached work without feeling like a commercial gym floor. It suits 1-to-1 sessions, private groups, juniors and fitness classes.
