Important Location Update for Stockyards Boxing Gym Toronto
Stockyard Boxing is permanently located in the George Bell Arena, a stone’s throw from the intersection of St. Clair and Runnymede. However, the arena is currently undergoing renovations and has moved to a temporary location at 4231 Dundas Street West. The gym plans to return to George Bell Arena once renovations are complete in September 2026. We apologize for the inconvenience.

What Our Members Say
Real results, real community. Here’s what training at Stockyards is like.
“One of if not the best boxing clubs in Toronto. Coach Richard will get you in fight shape in no time. Come here if you’re serious about boxing.”
“Richard’s boxing achievements are well documented, but what may not be as well-known is his kindness, encouraging manner, clear instruction and professionalism. The pricing is beyond reasonable by today’s standards, and the level of care and attention is second to none. If I could give it 10 stars, I would.”
“I had such a great time and I’ve never sweat more in my entire life. Great coaches, great vibes. I’m a newbie and they were very nice to me and made me feel welcome.”
“Fantastically skilled, personable, and fun trainers, amazing facility — you get a vibe of simultaneously serious and fun from when you walk in. I love this place.”
“My favourite thing about Stockyards is it’s missing that common boxing gym attitude where you walk in and nobody wants to help you or take an interest in your development. Great culture and high level trainers.”
“Gym atmosphere is easy going and very welcoming! Trainers are well educated, funny and are always mixing things up to keep it interesting. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, Stockyards is definitely a place to check out and grow within.”
