About Us
Set up in 2014 by Steven McMillan,
Bravehearts Boxing Gym specialises in
top quality boxing and fitness training.
Based in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, Bravehearts has the local community at its heart.
Health and fitness are Steven’s passion and since starting his career has had the pleasure of working in a variety of different roles. He has also had extensive experience in other industries, building a successful business portfolio that brings knowledge and transferable skills to his Bravehearts venture.
Steven’s vision for the year ahead involves a new spin studio (an extension built on top of the current Bravehearts facility) and an 18-foot undercover outdoor professional boxing ring.
Steven’s family are at the heart of his vision and beside him on his journey so far was ‘Buddy Braveheart’, his Springer Spaniel dog who sadly passed in September 2021. Buddy is always remembered and was deeply loved by members throughout the gym.

“I’ve been a member for three years now and joined Bravehearts to get fitter and to take part in hill walks, camping and other outdoor events (arranged by Steven). Best part of the gym for me…..you can train with like-minded people and push yourself and others to do more!
I’d never have done half of what I have (Scotsathlon, 3 peaks and Tinto) on my own!”

“I signed up to Bravehearts as there was a real buzz about the place. In the beginning I loved the boxing, the training, and the hype around the time of the boxing shows. Everyone in the gym gave 100% effort during sessions and the atmosphere is great and special.”

"The camaraderie that you get at Bravehearts is what makes it! And it’s what I love! Everyone is welcomed so genuinely, and people just want to see others doing well. The fact that we don’t just work out in the gym - we cycle up and down the country, walk and climb the most beautiful hills in Scotland and swim in the most amazing lochs and seas….what’s not to love about being part of this unique team."

“I lost my exercise mojo and needed somewhere special to train. After trying several gyms, I found Bravehearts and never looked back! As soon I walked in the door, Steven made me so welcome and I soon became part of the ‘team’. I’ve achieved so much at Bravehearts especially completing my first Scotsathlon!! Love the social nights too!”

“When I joined, I couldn't swim or ride a bike, but Steven helped me train for our Scotsathalon (a mile and a half swim across Loch Lomond, climb up Ben Lomond and then cycle to Tarbet to finish). I completed every part and this is my biggest achievement in my life let alone at Bravehearts (I got a permanent Bravehearts tattoo after this)! I just love the place and I have made some friends for life."

"Bravehearts gym has become more than just a gym to me, it’s a place where I love to go, a place where you can be yourself and nobody judges you. Everyone is there for the same reasons, to get fit and work hard. It's also a place where you can get a laugh and carry on as long as you're putting in 100% effort. Thank you Bravehearts and thanks Steven - you're a top top man who has time for everyone who steps through your door - you deserve all that you've achieved!"

"The encouragement you get from Steven and all the other members is second to none and absolutely makes Bravehearts what it is. I’ve done so many things I would never have even dreamt about trying before. The classes and weekly team runs build your overall base fitness so that anything seems possible...triathlons (signed up for my first full ironman this year), ultramarathons, hillwalking, camping trips, cold water swimming. Steven is great at encouraging everyone to get involved regardless of fitness level. When you join, you'll never look back!"

Everyone at Bravehearts supports, encourages and pushes themselves and each other to achieve more! Bravehearts really is more than just a gym!”
