Knives down, gloves up!

Carrying a knife doesn’t just risk your life – it can destroy the lives of everyone around you.

 

At The Box, we’re offering a real way out.

 

If you’re carrying a knife, bring it to me – no questions, no names, no judgment. I’ll ensure it’s safely handed over to the authorities. In return, I’ll offer you free 1-on-1 training sessions – and if you want, bring your mates too.

 

You’ll learn real self-discipline, respect, and how to defend yourself the right way. And if you’re ready to fully turn your life around, I’ll even support you in becoming a fully qualified Personal Trainer, with the chance to run your own sessions and inspire others.

 

This is about making a real difference – from the streets, for the streets. Since our first post, we’ve already taken eight dangerous weapons off the streets. That’s eight lives potentially saved.

 

Now we’re asking: who’s brave enough to take the next step?

 

Let’s stop the cycle. Let’s start something powerful.

Mental Mondays

Mental Mondays – A Space to Move, Breathe, and Feel Better

 

It’s no secret that exercise is one of the most effective tools for improving mental health. But we also understand that for many – especially those living with mental health challenges – just getting through the door can feel like the hardest part.

 

That’s where Mental Mondays comes in.

 

This free, welcoming session is designed specifically for people who may struggle with anxiety, low mood, or just need a boost. You’ll be surrounded by like-minded individuals in a warm, safe environment, with support available both physically and mentally.

 

There’s no pressure – go at your own pace. Whether you want to join in, watch, chat, or simply be in a positive space, this is your time. Just getting out and being around uplifting people is a powerful first step toward feeling better.

 

When?

Every Monday at 6pm

 

Where?

The Box Gym, inside Grindon Club, Gregory Road, SR4 9RX

 

Cost?

Completely free – all equipment and water provided.

 

You’ve got nothing to lose, and everything to gain. Why not give it a try?
