Boxing for Sherborne St John — what's actually local?
Sherborne St John is a smaller, classically picturesque Hampshire village just north of Basingstoke, home to The Vyne National Trust estate. With a smaller population, local fitness options are essentially nonexistent — residents rely on Basingstoke or surrounding towns.
There are no boxing or martial arts classes in Sherborne St John itself — and very few even within a 5-mile radius of the village (we are essentially the only serious option). Our village members include families, professionals from the local business parks, and a few National Trust staff from The Vyne who come for our Boxfit and beginner boxing sessions.
At only 3 miles and 8 minutes away, we're functionally the village's local gym for anyone serious about fitness or martial arts. Members tell us it's actually faster than getting to Reading or Newbury for fitness.
