About NXT GEN
Built by two
ex-pro boxers
Michael and Luke built NXT GEN to be a gym that feels like family but trains with fight-night intensity. First-timers and experienced fighters train side by side. We work hard, we have a laugh, and everyone leaves better than they arrived.
The coaches
Luke and Michael
Luke James
Co-founder · Head coach · Former professional boxer
Luke grew up loving the sport and trained for 14 years before coaching. He brings ringside energy to the gym, makes tough sessions feel like training with mates, and believes boxing builds people who back themselves in and out of the ring.
