Boxing

When this opportunity presented itself, I couldn’t contain my excitement.

In a world where distractions and bad influences are everywhere, Flackwell Boxing & Fitness stands as more than just a place to throw punches. It’s a sanctuary.

Run by Mark, this boxing gym is built on the belief that discipline, fitness, and community can change lives.

From the moment you step inside, you can feel the energy. This gym serves a deeper purpose: keeping young people off the streets and giving them something positive to fight for.

More Than a Sport

Boxing isn’t just about learning how to defend yourself. It’s about learning self-respect, resilience, and the value of hard work. Owner Mark has seen firsthand how the sport can turn lives around. Many of the gym’s members come from tough backgrounds, but through training, they develop discipline and confidence that extend far beyond the ring.

A Safe Haven for the Youth

One of the gym’s biggest missions is to keep young people away from crime, gangs, and destructive habits. Many who walk through its doors are at a crossroads in life. Here, they find mentors, role models, and a sense of belonging.

With structured training sessions and a strong support system, the gym gives its members something productive to focus on.

This has been a really inspiring journey for est.94 to work on. And we’re only just getting started.
