Answer
I don't personally know of any gyms in Dumfries, however you can post your question on the amateur boxing forum at www.warriorboxing.com and someone there should be able to help you.  They are a U.K. forum and lots of knowledgeable boxers and coaches are active there.  Please let me know if you get any help by emailing mel@amateurboxing.com.
