We monitor progress closely and walk with students every step of the way. We believe that being a boxer is not just learning to ‘float like a butterfly and sting like a bee’ but to become the best that you can be in every way, we look forward to seeing you.
Griffins began it’s unique training in 2000 by offering Boxing & Fitness classes at William Griffiths Recreation Centre in North Vancouver. Through word of mouth and the growing popularity of Boxing, it rapidly expanded and in April 2003 Griffins relocated into our present 6500 square foot facility with a Membership of over 350 members.
Griffins is a name chosen by combining the mascots of two local North Shore High Schools, being Carson Graham’s “Eagle” and Handsworth’s “Lion”. The Mythical creature, with the head and wings of an Eagle and body and tail of a Lion, denoting strength and fierce determination was aptly chosen to represent Griffins philosophy of Fitness.
Griffins Boxing and Fitness was built with hard work and dedication of volunteers and family members. The first North Shore car dealership and then bottle depot is now Griffins home. With over 350 members, an up and coming boxing clothing and equipment line, Griffins Boxing and Fitness is the largest boxing gym in Canada.
