More than just a gym: discover the Villa M Marseille Boxing Club

Located in the heart of the 8th arrondissement, just a stone’s throw from the Prado beaches, Villa M Marseille is home to a full-fledged boxing club in Marseille, integrated into a 4-star spa hotel with a state-of-the-art fitness center. With a boxing ring, punching bags, personalized coaching, and a welness area, boxing here serves as a tool for fitness and wellness, catering to both travelers and residents of Marseille’s Bonneveine neighborhood.

A boxing club in Marseille located within a 4-star spa hotel

Villa M Marseille was designed as a hybrid space where luxury hospitality meets health,fitness, and welness. Located across from the Borély Racetrack, just minutes from the Prado beaches, the hotel features 140 bright guest rooms, a restaurant with ocean views, a spa, and a fully equipped fitness center.

Within this complex, the Boxing & Fitness Club plays a central role. Far from being just a “fitness” corner, it is a fully-fledged boxing and fitness training space, bathed in light thanks to its large floor-to-ceiling windows. Here, both hotel guests and local members will find a challenging yet accessible sports environment for all skill levels, designed to help them let off steam, improve their fitness, and take care of their health in the long term.

A ring, coaches, and a genuine approach to sports and health

At the heart of the club, the boxing ring sets the tone: here, boxing isn’t just a marketing gimmick, but Villa M Marseille’s signature sport. Sessions are led by certified, experienced, and skilled coaches who can tailor the workout to every level, from beginners to advanced boxers. Their goal isn’t just performance, but overall balance: physical fitness, self-confidence, stress management, and injury prevention.

Boxing near the Prado: for beginners and experienced fighters

The Boxing & Fitness Club offers boxing classes suitable for everyone, in the spirit of a high-end yet accessible gym. Sessions range from fun cardio-boxing to more technical workshops, with medium- to high-intensity workouts. This helps improve cardiovascular fitness, coordination, speed, accuracy, and strength.

Whether you’re trying boxing for the first time or looking to refine your guard and combinations, the ring provides a supervised and safe environment. We also offer sessions designed for younger participants, introducing children and teenagers to a sport that builds character, fosters concentration and respect for others, and improves endurance.

Much more than just a boxing club: a full-service, high-end fitness center

Surrounding the ring, the gym features all the equipment you’d expect to find in a high-end hotel fitness center: leather punching bags, a free-weight area, and state-of-the-art strength and cardio equipment. Each session can thus combine technical work on footwork and striking with strength training, mobility exercises, and stretching.

After your workout, the Sport & welness area welness the experience: a heated outdoor pool during the off-season, a hot tub, a sauna, a steam room, and the Deep Nature spa, allowing you to round out your workout with a period of active recovery or simply to unwind. Building on the boxing club’s offerings, certain treatment protocols and tools—such as cryotherapy—are designed to support muscle recovery, circulation, and sleep quality.

Who is the Villa M Marseille Boxing & Fitness Club designed for?

The club is primarily aimed at hotel guests who want to enjoy an active stay, whether to maintain their fitness routine, try their hand at boxing, or blow off some steam between business meetings. Guests have access to a full range of amenities on-site: a room with a sea view, a restaurant, a bar, a gym, a boxing ring, a spa, and access to relaxation areas.

But Villa M Marseille was also designed to be a space open to the city. The Boxing & Fitness Club welcomes local members from Marseille, particularly those in the Prado and Parc Borély neighborhoods, who come to enjoy a bright, inspiring training environment that’s aligned with a holistic approach to health. It’s this mix of travelers, residents, and sports enthusiasts that gives the club its unique atmosphere.

Before registering or booking a class, we recommend that you check the membership options, access requirements for non-members, and the class schedule directly with Club Boxe & Fitness or via the Club Boxe & Fitness app .
