THE ABORO STORY

Aboro Academy first opened its doors in January 2014 at the Anken Life wellness complex, a renovated, sustainable warehouse in the heart of Shanghai. From the outset, we have prided ourselves on providing high-quality classes and unbeatable service. Our academy is a safe haven with an incredible atmosphere and a very strong community spirit, with none of the intimidating factors that can sometimes blight traditional boxing gyms. Our aim is to educate and empower people through helping them take charge of their bodies.
