We're active. Boxing & more.

With the aim of giving Schöneberg-Nord a positive impulse and strengthening the sense of neighbourhood, GEWOBAG and today's club chairman Izzet Mafratoglu opened a very special neighbourhood centre in 2007: “We're active. Boxing & more”.

Today Isigym is one of the most successful boxing clubs in Germany — 85 gold medals at German championships have been brought home to Berlin.

The idea behind this social commitment is to offer children and young people a worthwhile way of spending their free time in which they can let out all their energy. The coaches teach not only the right boxing technique but also social values such as fairness, team spirit and discipline. Many nationalities are represented here and different age groups meet each other. That is integration in practice.

The expanded youth programme and the cramped conditions on the ground floor made more space necessary in 2011. For the more than 200 active members who train regularly, there are now two more boxing rings and a running track on the upper floor.

Since 2013 Isigym Boxsport Berlin e.V. has been the only Olympic youth training centre in Berlin.
