One of the best boxing circuit experiences you'll get. Friendly instructors and staff.
Definitely more worth it than going to a regular gym.
The people that go there are more diverse than you'd think, and includes quite a couple of women, which surprised me when I first started going. The best part about the place is that it really feels like a place for you to work out, as opposed to going there to pose and look good. It's like a scene from your favourite boxing movie, without the testosterone or gym gorillas.
I started there about 2-3 days a week and went right up to a full 5 days a week. And the place has different membership options from the casual to the more committed. I've currently got a yearly membership and it was definitely worth it for me.

The Fighters Factory is exactly what I was looking for when I set out on my quest to fight off the effects 15 years in a desk job in September last year! I checked out the flashy new age fitness centres, filled with lycra clad bods hoping that the scientifically designed regime personally crafted for them by the likes of Chad and Crystal on the scientifically designed machines, in saunas and spray tanning booths would be the magic bullet they had been hoping for, but that just wasn't me. Murray, the staff and members welcomed me with smiles, nods, encouragement, good humour and above all no judgements. Amazingly Murray can name just about every visitor to the gym. This and the 'ethos' of the place make it a fantastic environment to meet your own personal challenges and goals. It's not full of angry, aggressive men looking for ego supplements; members are a diverse range of men, women and kids that give it a community quality. The benefits are as great as you choose to make them. You don't have to hit anyone or be hit. The exercise regime is a very simple and time proven mixture of shadow boxing, skipping, speedball, floor to ceiling ball, bag and a combination of strength training exercises (sit ups, leg raises, push ups etc) timed to 3 minute rounds with 30 second rests in between and a full circuit lasts approximately 1 hour. The whole effect is a complete mental and physical workout. Of course if you're serious about the sport of boxing, Murray is happy to provide assistance. All you need is a good pair of runners, and clothes (shorts, tee shirt, traky dacks etc) that are comfy to exercise in and a pair of wraps (material strips to bind your hands). Gloves can be hired or purchased, wraps and other bits and pieces can also be purchased. I would recommend this establishment to anyone looking to get fit, keep fit or get into boxing.

This is a nice little boxing place near the station, the people are very nice and helpful for beginners like me. I try to go at least twise a week, however find the cost to be a little expensive for someone who goes their often, not many good deals for a long time

This place is really good, for keeping fit and learning the basics for boxing. The place is old and a little run down but it does the job, the staff are friendly and very helpful. The cost i thought was a bit expensive at $10 but i have nothing to compare it with.

Approximate cost: $10
