The group is hoping that people will be intrigued by the arrival of the club on their doorstep, encouraging more locals to take up the pastime.

"Whether you’re a seasoned pugilist or a newcomer to the sport, our classes cater to all skill levels, providing a dynamic and inclusive environment.

"Expect a high-energy session that combines the fundamentals of boxing with a full-body workout - from mastering jabs and hooks to perfecting footwork, each class is designed to enhance cardiovascular fitness, build lean muscle, and boost overall endurance."

Dale pointed out that the sessions are designed to bring the group members together.

He explained: "What sets BoxFit Cumbria apart is the sense of community fostered within the group.

"Participants support each other in their fitness journey, creating a camaraderie that goes beyond the punches thrown - it’s not just about building physical strength, but about cultivating mental resilience and self-confidence."

The sessions will take place between 7:00am and 8:00am every Monday and Wednesday, with all welcome to come down for the first class.
