BOX. - Boutique Gym, Boxing and Strength, Mums and Bubs fitness class, Women's Health

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to BOX for about 6 months and its hands down one of the best things I've ever done for my health, fitness and general wellbeing. I've always made an effort to do some kind of exercise but its always been a chore, something to tick off so I can get on with my life. Now at BOX I actually look forward to it, and am a bit annoyed when I miss a class! And for the first time in a long time I can see improvements in my strength and fitness. Lawrence is a fantastic trainer, the Vibes are always high and you are always encouraged in a way that feels right for you. Love it so much.

Fantastic experience: I have never liked gyms and found them intimidating. I was also unsure how to use the equipment and found the staff and most mainstream gyms could be a bit patronising and youthful to the point of not understand what working out as middle aged mother is like. Working out with Lawrence as your coach at BOX. is an entirely different experience. It’s a female only gym, small group classes with a focus and plan that not only makes you feel amazing but you see and feel results (although that’s not the focus at BOX.) Lawrence is a husband and father and his passion is keeping women strong and healthy and it shows in the care and consideration and attention he gives to each of his clients. He knows women fluctuate week to week hormonally, menstruation and menopause effect fatigue levels, sick and wakeful children mean working out might feel like the last thing you want to do, and he welcomes and accepts that. He modified each exercises to where you’re at on that day and champions you. The women there are a mix of ages, all busy and caring for those around them whether mothers or not and it’s such a joy to just be with women who’ve carved out some time for themselves and showing up. The boxing sessions are fun and challenging for body and mind and the strength and conditioning sessions give you such a hit of endorphins it’s addictive! The music is banging and Lawrence is always up for a chat. I can not recommend BOX. Highly enough!!

Fantastic experience: Incredibly great value! Fun, effective, personalised training. Warm and welcoming always. Small groups. Pristine gym. No BS, just great people who know what they're doing helping you reach your goals.

Fantastic experience: If I could give BOX 10 stars, I would! Lawrence is super knowledgeable, helpful and welcoming. I turned up to the gym after several years of neglecting my physical health and quite out of shape with zero confidence. A few months in, I’ve already learned lots, improved my physical health quite a bit, and feel powerful. I look forward to my weekly class all week now and feel fantastic after every time I go. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely cannot speak highly enough of my time at Box gym. As someone who would have never consider myself “fit” or “athletic” and was always too nervous to join a gym with the fear of being judged for doing something the wrong way, or not keeping up with everyone else, I went looking for the most comfortable starting point I could find. After some googling, I came across Box. From my very first day, Lawrence and his relaxed and bubbly persona made me feel comfortable and welcomed. The workouts are fun, but challenging enough that I can feel the positive changes they are making, and the classes go so quick that you don’t even have time to worry about feeling self conscious. My 5am Box sessions have become the highlights of my week and I can honestly say that I actually enjoy working out now. For anyone reading this, just give it a try, I promise you won’t be disappointed!!

Fantastic experience: BOX is such a welcoming and motivating place to train. The vibe is friendly and inclusive, and Lawrence has created a space where you genuinely feel comfortable no matter your fitness level. I love the mix of strength and boxing sessions, and the programming is thoughtful and effective. I’ve noticed a big difference in my strength, fitness and mindset since starting—and it’s the only gym I’ve actually looked forward to going to. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: BOX Boutique gym is such a fun place to train. If you are looking for small class sizes, personalised attention, and highly skilled programming to progress your fitness then you have found your gym. I particularly love how with every session there is a check-in to see how you are feeling or if there is an injury. It makes me feel confident that each class can be tailored to my needs on that day - a very personalised experience. It’s such a welcoming space and Lawrence makes you feel instantly like you are part of a team. Couldn’t rate highly enough, and the music is tops.

Fantastic experience: I have going to Box with Lawrence for around 10 months now. He always greets you by name, asks how you are going and what you have on for the day - I seriously don’t know how he remembers all the detail that he recalls. The Strength and Conditioning is just what I needed for my Menopausal body. And the Boxing is a lot of fun and it definitely keeps your heart rate up for quick intervals. He is always over prepared, everything is ready to go, he offers alternatives if/when injured. The space is warm when you walk in from the cold and cool when you workout. Everyone is friendly. I just love it, so much so, my daughter is now going as well.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Lawrence for many years both at other gyms and then since he started BOX. Lawrence genuinely cares for all his clients and understands their individual goals and training needs. Love all the sessions at BOX with Lawrence and all the amazing ladies he trains - highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Lawrence has created a unique environment where growth and comfort come together. I know it’s not always easy getting to the gym but I’ve never regretted going to one of Lawrence’s classes - he checks in and takes notice of things many coaches wouldn’t. I’m so glad I joined Box almost a year ago - it’s a fantastic environment and a credit to Lawrence!

Fantastic experience: BOX is not only a fun friendly welcoming gym. It’s also a vibe, think dark lights, fun beats non judgement great community. Lawrence is the best in the biz who actually cares for his clients whether trying hit PBs, pushing them to their limits but also listening to their needs and the occasional 5am therapy sess if were their for a hang. Highly recommend to try something different with a great mix of circuit weight training and boxing to get the sweat up.

Fantastic experience: Lawrence is hands down the greatest PT I have ever met, to the point he is also the only PT I will ever see again. No yelling, no guilting - just someone who genuinely cares about people and has so much passion and knowledge that it’s impossible not to feel motivated. I would (and do) recommend everybody I know to go to BOX. Seriously, females, don’t waste your time going anywhere else - Lawrence is the MVP.

Fantastic experience: LOVE! Feeling very lucky and blessed that I found Box. A truly boutique experience in an intimate setting. Lawrence (the legend) is an awesome West Londoner who sees the value in creating a safe and comfortable space for women and all femmes to be able to work out in peace, safety and with one-on-one assistance despite being in a group setting. Very respectful environment, a brilliant workout involving strengthening, technique, boxing, weights, cardio and seriously good music and vibes. They have a great deal on at the moment!! 3 classes for $49 (they're nearly an hour each!) WORTH A TRY!! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Lawrence is an excellent instructor. He is so knowledgable but also so delightful and encouraging - a genuinely lovely guy; I love his classes and saw the tangible impacts of my muscle and conditioning increasing! Highly recommend Box. Such a supportive wonderful boutique gym. Given small numbers in classes, you get focused attention and instruction. Not been to one like it! The boxing and weight combos are a fun and great workout; your body and mind reaps the rewards (and with regular attendance at classes, this only compounds and grows ).

Fantastic experience: Great yoga Wed night and Thurs morning with Chloe!

Fantastic experience: Lawrence is the definition of a ‘family friendly’ gym/PT. He makes working out with my two little boys actually possible. He’s also super knowledgeable and encouraging. If I could give him 6 stars I would!

Fantastic experience: Lawrence knows his stuff. But even more than that, the environment he’s created also means you get to connect with others whilst moving. For me it’s meant I’ve been able to show up to train on days I haven’t felt so crash hot, and also knowing I can go hard and be supported in that too if I want. Can’t / won’t stop recommending

Fantastic experience: I just completed my first class at Box. Boutique Gym on Maitland Road and loved it. The mix of aqua bag boxing, and floor work with weights was perfect.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending Lawrence’s PT sessions in the gym and his mums groups fitness classes for over a year. Lawrence offers a tailored program to suit you postpartum and beyond. He is always checking into see how the bod is and whether a workout needs to be adapted. He is very knowledgeable at what he does and has an understanding and encouraging approach. Highly recommend to anyone whose had a bub to come along and join the supportive community he has created!

Fantastic experience: I would 100% recommend Lawrence's classes. He has created a really supportive, fun and challenging group but he always gives alternative exercises to make it safe for every post natal body. And kids are more than welcome. On many occasion Lawrence has subdued my crying baby so I could finish an exercise.

Fantastic experience: Nicest trainer on the planet, but still makes sure you get a satisfying workout. I so appreciate that the workouts are postpartum friendly. Lawrence is also so kind to any bubs/kids that come along. Perfitt is a gem of a place to workout!

Fantastic experience: Would definitely recommend especially to any new Mum’s looking at starting or getting back into exercise. Lawrence’s classes are great, such a supportive environment to exercise with your baby and tailored to lots of different fitness levels.

Fantastic experience: Lawrence came highly recommended by my physio after giving birth and truly his classes have been a lifesaver. Lawrence has created a welcoming and supportive environment for mums to come and work out, against funky beats and in the beautiful outdoors. He can hold your baby and share in sleep deprivation woes while correcting your form and encouraging you to do your best. I couldn’t recommend Perfitt health more!

Fantastic experience: Lawrence is an amazing instructor! He is so encouraging and enthusiastic and makes training sessions so much fun. He is fantastic with the little ones, always offering to push a pram or hold a clingy baby so that you can make the most of your sessions and it's so appreciated by everyone!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending Lawrence’s mums and bubs classes for the last 18months and couldn’t recommend him highly enough. As a trainer he is incredibly knowledgeable and technical, very aware of potential injuries new mums could be dealing with and makes adjustments accordingly while still motivating you to move. His classes have great energy and music, I also love that they run outdoors, my daughter has gone from doing outdoor tummy time and playing with leaves while I workout to running along side me and having a hoot. These classes have become a bit of a life saver for me, and have been a space for me to form new friendships with like minded mums who come along too.

Fantastic experience: Lawrence is the greatest to train with. He is passionate about his work and spot on with technique. Before I started boxing with Lawrence my technique was all over the place, now it’s up to scratch. Highly recommend training with this legend!

Fantastic experience: When I started training with Lawrence at Perfitt Health I lacked confidence and fitness. He made me feel completely at ease, as did the wonderful and welcoming women in his classes. He always give options to suit your level/injuries. Great workouts, very friendly, extremely personable. Hard to find a better trainer!

Fantastic experience: I moved to Newcastle in 2022 with a 1 year old. Perfitt was recommended to me and so I went along to give it a try. 6 months down the line and I go 3-4 times per week. Not only has this class made me sooo much fitter and stronger than I have ever been, it has also connected me with the most amazing group of like-minded women. My body and mental health are so much healthier for going to these classes. I cannot recommend this trainer highly enough and would give 6 stars if I could!!

Fantastic experience: Lawrence is an amazing trainer! He strikes the perfect balance of challenging you / listening to your body / making the workout fun. I have always enjoyed my workouts with Lawrence and appreciate that he remembers my goals and little details about my life. Always leave a Lawrence workout feeling energized, positive and so happy I went! Would recommend him to anyone. Thanks for everything Lawrence!

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Lawrence enough, I loved training with him. His knowledge is awesome, and the way he shares it even better! He takes time to explain the movements, where it should be working and checks in to make sure it’s all feeling right. He tailors programs to suit your needs, goals and abilities and knows how to push you in the most encouraging way. I have had a few ongoing injuries and his flexibility to adjust programs as required always left me feeling capable of exercising instead of giving up. I felt confident that he could still keep me moving safely, all the while focusing on strengthening those areas that I was having issues with. Always up for a chat and a laugh, he was truely a pleasure to work out with!

Fantastic experience: Lawrence is a fantastic PT. He knows his clients really well and has the ability to get results and push you while doing it in a fun and engaging way. Would highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Climbing monkey bars, doing chin ups and participating in military inspired obstacle challenges are not things I thought I would be doing in my fifties, but training with Lawrence saw me do all of that and more. Carrying a knee injury for a number of years limited my ability to achieve previous fitness goals. Lawrence worked in close consultation with my physio to tailor make an exercise program, which resulted in improved strength, my ability to lift heavier weights and even impress my kids! Lawrence makes exercise fun, goals achievable and is super motivating and encouraging. If a personal and knowledgable approach is what you're looking for in a PT, then Lawrence is the trainer for you.

Fantastic experience: Lawrence is honestly one of the best personal trainers I have ever come across. He is an awesome motivator, who always gets the best out of you. He is also extremely professional but at the same time has a lovely coaching style and always mixes up the session. On top of that he is just a great guy! Highly recommend perfitt health!

Fantastic experience: Lawrence is an exceptional trainer. He is very encouraging, motivating, supportive and positive. He helps you to achieve your goals while still making the sessions fun.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had Lawrence as a trainer for a few months now. On meeting him, he was helpful, kind and instantly made me feel comfortable with his down to earth nature. Fast forward to now and I can honestly say he is one of the most genuine people I have met. If you want a trainer who supports, encourages you, pushes you, listens to you, offers advice, let’s you vent and kicks your butt with workouts then he is the man! You won’t regret jumping on board!
