St Catharines Boxing Club

St. Catharines Boxing Club is a premier, non-profit amateur boxing organization dedicated to fostering fitness, discipline, and self-confidence in the St. Catharines community. With a rich history of producing provincial and national champions, the club offers a supportive environment where determination is prioritized over financial barriers. Members have achieved remarkable success, including wins at the Canadian Championships, Ringside World Championships, and Bronze Gloves, under the guidance of experienced mentors who believe that hard work yields results.

The club provides a comprehensive range of programs tailored to all ages and skill levels. The flagship McGibbon’s Youth Program offers free boxing lessons every Saturday for children aged 9 and up, requiring no prior experience and supplying all necessary equipment like gloves and ropes. This initiative focuses on building character and physical skills in a safe, encouraging setting.

For adults and older teens, the club features the popular Ladies Boxercise classes, held on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. These high-energy, female-only sessions are designed to relieve stress, improve cardiovascular health, and build strength without the pressure of competitive fighting. With flexible pricing options, including punch cards and memberships, it is accessible for anyone looking to start their fitness journey. General gym hours for training and sparring are available Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings, providing ample opportunity for dedicated boxers to refine their technique.

Under the leadership of President Joe Corrigan, a highly decorated coach and organizer who has promoted national events and traveled internationally to scout talent, the club continues to thrive. Alongside a dedicated team of volunteer coaches—including John Robertson, Paul Zahra, Ray Riley, and Bruce Greenlaw—St. Catharines Boxing Club remains a cornerstone of local sports, blending the thrill of competition with the values of community service and personal growth.

Fantastic experience: I have been with the scbc since 2009 until recently when the vaccine mandate started. The st catharines boxing club is an amazing place to go for boxing, I've even had the privilege of watching one of our amateurs turn pro there. very knowledgeable coaches and staff and they have always treated me like I was part of thier real family, something you don't get when you go to other gyms or organizations. Top notch boxing club and people. Big thanks to Joe Corrigan and everyone there who taught me for all those years
