About
At our two sites, we are dedicated to training individuals to boost their mental and physical health through the heart of boxing.
We believe that the discipline, focus, and determination required in the sport of boxing can translate into all areas of life, leading to improved overall well-being. Our experienced trainers are passionate about helping our clients reach their full potential, both inside and outside of the ring.
Jake McBride, the founder of Hooked, discovered the transformative impact of boxing on his own mental health despite starting late in the sport. Recognising the need to share these benefits with others who had never boxed before, he embarked on a journey to create Hooked.
Conducting market research in various countries, Jake identified niche gyms that provided unique experiences. Inspired by this, he brought the concept to Belfast, creating a boutique luxury experience that sets Hooked apart from other fitness establishments. We take great pride in offering a fitness experience that not only enhances physical well-being but also promotes mental well-being through the art of boxing.
