The combat-based fitness facility Gymbox in Covent Garden is one of five Gymbox locations in London - the other four being in Holborn, Farringdon, Bank and Westfield London - all of which feature stunning lighting installations.  All the clubs feature a nightly resident DJ, over 60 pieces of equipment, an Olympic-sized boxing ring, 25 punch bags and a free weights area.

Gymbox locations offer over 100 weekly classes including ultimate fighting and the ladies only workouts.

The Gymbox was originally operated by Fitness First, until it was bought out by Gymbox CEO Richard Hilton in 2005. The buy-out was funded by HSBC and Hotbed, with help from accountancy firm Baker Tilly.
