About FAB Boxing
Born in recovery. Built for everyone. FAB Boxing is a Dublin-based community using non-contact boxing to regulate the body first, then guided reflection to make honest conversation easier.
What FAB Boxing Is
FAB Boxing is not just a workout. It is a community for people who want to rebuild confidence, improve their health, find structure, and surround themselves with people who understand the fight.
We welcome people in recovery, people struggling with mental health, people rebuilding after difficult chapters, and anyone who wants a stronger, healthier circle around them.
Beginners are not just welcome. They are expected.
A safe space for people rebuilding their lives.
Real training that builds strength inside and out.
People who notice when you don't show up.
Structure, honesty, and someone in your corner.
The Origin
FAB Boxing was founded by Aaron McCann and Mark O'Reilly.
FAB began as Fighting Addiction Through Boxing and grew from that recovery foundation into a wider method built around boxing, regulation, reflection and community.
The recovery roots have not gone anywhere. They are the reason the method works for anyone carrying pressure, not only people in recovery.
Co-Founder
Aaron helps shape the FAB Method and programme development, including the four-week programme, FAB Workbook and 1 to 10 pressure tool. His focus is on turning lived experience, boxing and structured reflection into something people can actually use.
Co-Founder
Mark focuses on coaching and delivery, helping create the atmosphere people experience when they walk into a FAB session. He works directly with participants through non-contact boxing, structure and consistency, helping make the programme practical, welcoming and grounded.
What Makes FAB Different
FAB Boxing gives people more than training. It gives them somewhere to belong.
On the hard days, boxing gives people movement. Community gives people connection. Structure gives people direction. And slowly, round by round, people begin to feel like themselves again.
“Rebuild your life,
one round at a time.”
What We Stand For
We care more about honesty than image. You do not need to have it all together to walk through the door.
No tiers. No egos. No VIPs. Beginners, experienced boxers, people in recovery, and supporters all share the same floor.
If someone stops showing up, we notice. FAB Boxing is built around connection, not just attendance.
Sometimes the hardest conversations happen after the session, when the guard comes down and people feel safe enough to speak.
Whether you are rebuilding your own life or your organisation wants to bring boxing, wellbeing, and real community to your people. FAB Boxing will meet you where you are.
